[m a n.

i don't know where hunter will be, but kuranosuke runs into him wherever that is. could be a bar. could be near the docks. could be elsewhere. i really should have asked before writing any of these starters but i didn't and now i'm paying the price for it.]

...hey.

[greatvalue]

[i was gonna say the void so it's fine tbh

He's just somewhere out here, holding Flapjack in his hands and looking pretty bummed by how things turned out. At least, he has changed into a dry set of clothes, though his hair is still wet.]

... Hey. [A sigh.] How are you after all of that?

[ontrend]

Same as usual.

[aka: not great. but he looks to hunter with concern.]

What about you? That house was... uh, a lot.

[greatvalue]

I'm okay.

[Well. Okay adjacent, also as usual.]

Just tired. After all that, I don't get what happened to Childe.

[ontrend]

...me either. Did he seriously drown in a sink...?

[HIM? A GUY WITH A HYDRO VISION?]

[greatvalue]

Maybe? We didn't find any blood near the sink, and he had that nasty bump.

[ontrend]

...gotta say, I didn't expect anyone else to come out on top over a battle otaku like him.

[greatvalue]

Neither did I. Or at least, not without the injuries to prove it. But that's a problem in itself.

[ontrend]

...was it Chandra, you think? Chandra got Childe, Scaramouche got Chandra?

[greatvalue]

... I don't know. I don't think so. Chandra was difficult to get along with, but knocking someone out so they can't even face death with dignity doesn't sound like him.

[ontrend]

Yeah, it really doesn't. [he frowns] But he was also, like... the only person with the sort of injuries I'd have expected to see after a fight with Childe.

...then again, a lot of people just refused to strip.

[greatvalue]

We give too many people a pass just because they're difficult or previously injured, which means we're bound to miss something.

[ontrend]

...wonder what we would have found on Scaramouche if we'd forced him to strip like everyone else.

[greatvalue]

[He pauses, looking like he's debating something.

After a moment:]

He attacked Akira using only one of his arms.

[ontrend]

...

[dID WE MISS. A WHOLEASS. MISSING ARM. ON A PERSON? DID WE LEVEL UP FROM MISSING HAND TO MISSING ARM?]

[greatvalue]

... Kuranosuke?

[STOP. Scaramouche has both arms. Please. Gideon checked his hands.]

[ontrend]

[oh right thank god


still:]

How much earlier would we have figured it out if we'd looked at his arm in detail before...

[greatvalue]

...

Probably right away.

[ontrend]

Uuuuuuuugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

[greatvalue]

[Ain't that a mood...

He lets go of Flapjack to awkwardly pat his shoulder.

There, there.]

[ontrend]

...blugh.

[he sips his drink.]

[greatvalue]

[PAT PAT]

Try not to drink too much just in case it's you on that stage tomorrow.

[It wasn't, but.]

[ontrend]

...hate that that's something we even have to be concerned about!

[SIIIIIIIIIIGHS.]
