[WEEK 1 GY POST: Bring out your dead]

[purrtagonist]

[he awakens with a start in his bed in the House of Hearts, long after the investigation has concluded. the first thing he does is bolt upright, hand flying to the side of his head where Croix's blow knocked him unconscious, then to his right eye which is. . . huh. completely whole again. his heart hammering madly in his chest is evidence enough that he isn't dead (he. . . thinks?), so after one or two steadying breaths to reorient himself, he slips out of his bed and through the front door]

[he meanders for a bit. everything in the Hare's Abode looks exactly the same, and there are people milling about everywhere, talking about the evidence they found, the bodies they found. it's probably a good thing he has yet to go to the market and see his own, uh. head, honestly. but no matter who he runs into, no matter how hard he shouts and waves his hands, no one seems to notice him, which is. . . well. disconcerting.]

[for the fellow dead? Akira can be found standing outside the Timeshare, staring at the bloody footprints as he twirls his cat mask around his finger. look ma, no mask!!]

[his expression is blank. unreadable. shoulders tense, posture stiff. let's dead person party guys!!]

[There's the other boy -- creature too-- and even here, even now, he barely seems to be reacting to anything. She'd almost laugh, if she could find it within herself.]

[But she feels too empty right now.]

Mmm. It turns out I'm not the worst threat here.

[Her head droops. She's still staring at Ursula]

[nonidentity]

What happened?

[Ferim isn't exactly one for tact. Sorry, Croix.]

[headingsouth]

[she's kind of waiting for yall to get back at her, so she's expecting way worse]

It looks like the snake masks were apt. Mejojo went out looking for me as soon as you and I were finished.

[she completely deserved it]

I suppose it's only fair.

[she says that but she's pretty obviously unsettled by how she was killed]

[nonidentity]

[Ferim literally doesn't care that she killed him??? So we're good.]

It seems you are affected by your death. [...] Does he have a role as well?

[headingsouth]

[Ferim why are you so chill]

[stop smoking weed]

I think so. He had an axe, as I did.

[nonidentity]

I see. And was he aware of your role, or were you merely another victim of fate?

[headingsouth]

[He had axe body spray]

I doubt he was aware of it, but it's possible. He likely saw me as a threat and wanted to take me out.

[nonidentity]

So it seems you acted "suspiciously" as well.

[Even if Ferim still. Doesn't understand how he himself came off as fishy.]

[headingsouth]

No, I think that he decided it based off of my mask. Based off of the fact that were housed together.

[but it's not like she knows for sure]
