It's a bit of an odd one, no?
I think that I'm just going to refrain from drinking at all on Thursday at this rate.
[ No Claude means he's fairly even keel. The dangerous, stormy note that's a constant is there, but an undernote more than anything else. He's just - quiet, a little contemplative. ]
It's almost like giving them their last rites, whether they realize it or not. I'm not particularly keen on it.
[ But he does tilt his cup a little in agreement, because. Can you really trust anyone, Thursday night? ]
I think we were on the right path, but fell just short of where we needed to be.
[ Another drink, but this time he knocks it back. It's that kind of day and his tolerance is higher than soowoo anyways. ]
Shima's confession and subsequent information after he was caught gave us some answers, but far more questions. If it's all to be believed, he ransacked the pub but doesn't recall if Raven was already dead, or what state it was in prior.
[ Listen he tried to 1v1 a fetus in the middle of trial and another murderer is running around. He won't drink again right away, though. ]
If Dorothy is innocent, and Shima wasn't the one to kill Raven, who planted the evidence against Dorothy? He doesn't remember anything about the pub, save for making a mess of it, so would he be able to intentionally cover for someone else?
Hmm..... I don't know if he'd need to. Given the situation of the splintered nova - what reason would he have to look out for someone else given that he had his own assignment? And he seemed willing to let us all run around too...
[said so himself!]
So I can try to continue asking Dorothy - but I'll give her some time. We're close, but I don't want to use that closeness to take advantage of her mental state today.
But I'll let you know if I find anything in that regard.
En, so the question becomes - was it a compulsion, to make the mess he did? He said that taking Laine's life was a choice he made willingly, and his choice was based on the splintered nova, but it almost sounds as if he lost time in the pub. Two separate murders, but a clear overlap that has no explanation.
[ It's - annoying, having that information. But he shakes his head. ]
No, I understand. [ Not so much empathy for Dorothy as it is just knowing it may be fruitless, maybe put distance between them that they don't have time for. ] All things considered, Dorothy's involvement in this can wait until after we attend to Shima's role.
I'll do my own looking into things and let you know, as well.
Mm. We can inquire with the Leaders once they're available as well in order to determine what they know - it sounds as though Fox was Shima's Leader and the one to direct him to ask, so perhaps they'll be able to illuminate something for us.
At the very least.... we'll see what light can be shed after tomorrow. I have but one request...
If you hear of someone's PHS icon blinking, will you let me know? Or if it's your own?
[ a nod ] That was my thought, as well. There are some things that need to be touched upon with the leaders regardless, but if there's something we can get from Fox on all of this...
[ There's no reaction in his emotions or on his face, to the request. Just a simple filing away of it. ]
I'll keep watch for it, yes. I won't ask you to do the same - you'll have it covered already.
My expectations are always high. But for this kind of thing, I don't find myself thinking you'd request it if you weren't already doing it, as well. You just want a bigger net to catch what you're looking for.
You're not wrong. It's easier if we all know what we're meant to look out for, and then it'll be easier to circulate information once the expected item arises.
There's a certain level of caution that I think we need to exercise with information here... but I think something like this is rather harmless.
Information will keep us alive, in a place like this. But better to have the whole picture, and not let misinformation spread instead - that's a short trip to everything falling apart.
[ He brings his cup up, tapping the side of it with long fingers, causing a tremor in the liquid. ]
I'll keep my eye on the PHS, and an ear out for anything that we should look into further.

Neither am I.
Dorothy maintains that she didn't kill Raven.... so I wonder who did.
