Viewing Party 2 - R3: THE RE-CRY-ENING

[misanthropicprinciple]

We got castmates. We got clues. We got crap to bitch about. They get a library? And a LAUNDRY MACHINE?

Welcome, murderfam... TO THE R3 LIVEWATCH.

I think it's some kind of really inventive cake! Probably.

WELL THAT SURE JUST FUCKING HAPPNED

[serrata]

[ You'd think Yuuri would know better than to watch Airlocked on Fridays. And yet. And yet... ]

F...five. How-- how could anyone-- five, all at once?!

[scourgingstars]

...

[come here yuuri you're getting a hug]

It's possible this wasn't all one person. Not that saying as much makes it anything but worse.

[motherfucking_ghost]

...Is that it? Is that all of them? [He does a quick semi-headcount and then...sighs and leans back, sinking a little into the couch.] Okay, thank god. Guess it's just the trial to worry about then...shit.

[Arianna is just gonna quietlt cling to her on the opposite side from Ardyn. She's all done trying to comfort the TV, now it's time for Being Very Upset.]

[serrata]

[ yes hello please don't mind the death grip hug you're getting in return ]

God, that means-- at least six! I don't... do you think any of them were... they can't have been going along with th--the motive...!

[ SHE'S FINE!! SHE'S A-OKAY, YOU GUYS ]

[everylittlesecret]

.... So we lost the Bard, Shark Cop, Pokemom, Lady Knight, and Trying Too Hard...

[Someone is trying to make light of the situation here. This is why Nari doesn't usually watch this with you guys. Yuuri, she'll give you a hug if you need it.]

I think I'll go back to bed now.

[serrata]

[ it's awful but you know what??? SAME, CHURCH ]

M--maybe... god, I shouldn't call it lucky but is there any chance... maybe the culprit didn't survive... whatever happened?

[ she's trying to say MAYBE WE'RE NOT ABOUT TO HAVE A SIXTH BODY in a way that sounds less horrifying ]

[motherfucking_ghost]

So long as it's not anyone on my watch list. Hopefully.

[imnotfat]

Kh--! What the hell...?!

[Even Togami seems shocked]

[scourgingstars]

Breathe, Yuuri.

[serrata]

[ THANK GOD FOR ARIANNA WAKASA OF CALEDONIA ]

[daughterofthemark]

[WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ARIANNA WAKASA OF CALEDONIA FOR A WHILE? SHE'D ACTUALLY LIKE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK FROM EXISTENCE RIGHT NOW]

[refusedtoleave]

[Told you so!]

[refusedtoleave]

...Isn't there a rule? In- When we were there was one that said the culprit couldn't kill more than two people.

[Not that Natsuhi would be able to look up the rules online if they were there.]

[refusedtoleave]

It’s like Youkai then. The myth varies on the location, even if they have the same names or look alike.

…I want to say that she doesn’t look like she could hurt anyone. But after some of the…people I’ve met. I’d say she was more mature than them.

[refusedtoleave]

Isn't the point of weakening them to make them easier to kill or stop?

[curdle]

It need not be one.

[ She knows exactly how this happens. She knows because one morning there were six of them, and the next there was just Thomasin. ]

And if there's more than one executed, for this... how many will be left?

[ratherdoweddings]

In ours, but they were missing some rules. And remember, the punishments are harsher there, too. The studio's trying to avoid more survivor escapes.

WELP (R3:C3 Trial)

[misanthropicprinciple]

[Even once the murderer's intentions come out, Junpei's fine (he's not, he's not fine, he goes still and silent when Oda finally breaks) until he hears how the man's children died.

'I saw what was left of them.'

He has to stay. He has to. Someone has to see this through, and this is what he's good at. He's been through more of this death game murder mystery shit than anyone else under this roof, he swore to himself he'd stay on top of it, keep himself sharp, find any tiny crack through which they can inch forward.

It takes him five minutes before he realizes he's not hearing anything that's happening on TV right now. Ashen, Junpei closes his laptop, sets it aside, and goes out to sit on the porch, head resting on the backs of his hands, unmoving.]

[scourgingstars]

[yeah no he's fucking done with this, goodbye, he is out maybe ten seconds after Junpei, sitting down and offering him a bottle of gods only knew what from the Armiger.]

[Nnnnnnnnnnnnope.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Thanks.

[Junpei takes the bottle, opens it, and swallows down a generous mouthful all without even looking at it, because frankly, he doesn't even care what he's drinking, he just needs a drink. He grunts a little as it goes down, coughs faintly, then stares out at the horizon, at the stupidly serene fields.]

...Should've asked if you wanted any before I did that. Sorry. [He offers it back, but, you know. Gross.]

[scourgingstars]

Believe me, there's more than enough left in the Armiger. You need that one more than I do.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Don't know about that, but I'm not gonna argue it, either.

[After a beat, he takes a longer, slower swallow and then just keeps staring out at the fields.

It's not uncommon, after gathering his thoughts, for Junpei to break the silence. But it's just Not Happening today.]

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna chooses to respond to this situation by the more straightforward approach of curling up in a ball on the couch and crying.]
