[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!!]

[yes leave Ursula alone!!]

She seems like-- a good person. [and she has students to return to, so!! she must go home!]

He was out past curfew and isn't on the list. If only honored guests can take their names off said list? Then he's gotta be one of them.

Her dream was to make everyone happy using magic. [something that used to make her angry -- with how Croix wasted the "Shiny Rod"'s powers on frivolous magic while it continued to decline, but---]

[she can't seem to muster that up right now]

Exactly. He even told me that I was infringing on "his" territory when he found me.

[purrtagonist]

[heh. a small smile]

That's an admirable dream.

[Ursula is an admirable person. he sees why Croix is fond of her]

"His" territory? Tch. If that's true, then there's no doubt in my mind he's the one the Queen tasked with painting the roses red.

[Akira you sweet summer child you are misunderstanding a little but she's not going to say anything]

I agree. That leaves the other two.... it's possible there's another Knave, or something else.

[purrtagonist]

[whats wrong with making people happy with magic!!]

Right. I guess we'll have to see if they can dig up any information on them in the remaining time.

[headingsouth]

[bc it's spoilers and you need to watch lwa!!!!!!]

[also other reasons]

We're dead, so I doubt there's harm in the rabbit telling us.

[though he probably won't wanna be helpful to Croix....]
