Week 1

[With the introduction to the relationship experiment and their overseeing hosts done with, the Champions are left to their own devices to explore the first floor of the mansion as they please. Cece and Kip will pop-up every once in a while to chit-chat but for the most part they're somewhere inaccessible.

Each morning the Champions are awakened promptly at 7 am by PAL's even, almost laid back voice announcing the time and each evening at 10 pm to announce when the kitchen is closing for the night. Unlike the Overseers, he doesn't seem to be one much for conversation.

Enjoy your week, Champions.]

Fear leads to anger?

[She's still a few months off from that reference.]

...Probably. Like what they say about hammers and nails.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Yeah. Exactly.

...That said, I don't know that patrolling by yourself is, uh... the best idea. In that light.

[nojohnyouare]

...You can come. If you want.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...

Are you going to be doing this all night? Because I, uh, had something I wanted to do...

[nojohnyouare]

Someone to visit?

[misanthropicprinciple]

What? No.

[He seems honestly baffled.]

I wanted to see if the garden's any different at night. [...] Wait, did you think I was going to try something?

[nojohnyouare]

No. But if there were someone you were worried about. ...Let's check the garden.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...Sure.

[He starts walking, but he's watching her skeptically.]

We've only been here a few days. I don't think I have anyone I'm especially worried about. Do you?

[nojohnyouare]

...I don't know. [She walks along.] Anyone could attack. But at the same time, anyone could be a victim.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...It's hard to I.D. potential victims in advance. Since we're all strangers, if anyone takes advantage of rule seven, it's likely to be a crime of opportunity. Perps, though...

In a critical situation like this, my experience says you ought to give the people who seem to control the conversation a closer look.

[nojohnyouare]

Leaders and people in charge? [headtilt]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Yeah. Well, and people who make a lot of assumptions that go unchallenged. When verifiable facts are at a premium, a misleading suggestion packs a lot of punch.

[nojohnyouare]

That's why you question everything... You've seen a lot, right?

[misanthropicprinciple]

I am a detective.

[nojohnyouare]

...[nod] Keep yourself safe.

[Time to check out the garden, how's this going?]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Well, he wanted to see if anything was different about the starscape, but when it doesn't appear that anything's off at a glance...]

...You seemed pretty confident about me, when I asked you if you suspected me just now. Any... particular reason why?

[nojohnyouare]

[shrug]

I don't know. You seem to be a good person.

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Seriously? He gives her a look.]

On what basis?

[nojohnyouare]

...Helpful. You want to escape. But you don't just want yourself to escape.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...

[Junpei grunts and turns away, rubbing at the inner corners of his eyes.]

You've got the wrong impression of me, Kawasumi. [He sighs and just looks at her without facing her completely, arms crossed.] It's not that I'm helpful. I just don't think the slim chance of getting away with murder is worth the risk.

[He walks another few paces ahead and stares at the incredible clarity of the star-spangled void.]

My chances are better if we all get to the bottom of this. That's all.

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai doesn't respond to that. She just watches, thinks, and follows his gaze out beyond the dome.]
