[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!!]

Don't worry. The rabbit's already revealed my role -- I won't be receiving any sympathy.

[except from Ursula, who is blaming herself...... :(]

But Mejojo is the bigger focus for right now. They need to catch him, or they'll all be in further danger.

[purrtagonist]

[URSULA NO. . .!]

Right. [inclines his head towards her, nodding in agreement] I hope they come to that conclusion, soon. That they realize they need to focus on your and Esther's murders the most.

[headingsouth]

He's quite cunning, that one. [Ursula needs to stop Croix didn't sign up for this feels trip]

And there are the other two roles, as well....

[nonidentity]

It seems their purposes are not to kill. What do you think they might be?

[headingsouth]

Gathering intel, perhaps. Or an opposing force to the killers -- my role was as a neutral executioner, so I assume that, if Mejojo does indeed have a role, he is meant to be an executioner with more direction.

If all roles do in fact work for the Queen -- my guess is that at least one of them is there to detect any hint of rebellion. She was a tyrant, in the book, as I recall.

[purrtagonist]

He is.

[jesus that's gay. side glance to Croix, commentary about Ursula on his tongue, but. he saves it for later]

And we still don't know what those roles do.

[headingsouth]

[he can, she's looking pained..... she didn't agree to a feels trip]

I have my guesses, but that's all. I wonder why they aren't spending more time on the other roles.

[instead of trying to get intel about hers?? she's dead what's the point]

[purrtagonist]

[he is gonna ask about this eventually]

What are your guesses?

[headingsouth]

I think there's probably a spy role - or something like that - working for the Queen. And there may be another like mine... that is my guess.

[purrtagonist]

[he nods. . .]

I'd take a guess that there's also a role meant to help the rest of us too, but-- [POINTEDLY] I think that was supposed to be you.

[headingsouth]

[SHE DESERVED THAT but]

No, it wasn't me. My role was to be a neutral executioner -- the Queen wanted bloodshed.
