[yes! and no. despite the beds/rooms having been cleaned for the day, it looks like he's been laying in it recently. His desk also has an area cleared out perfect for napping]
What the--what are you doing? Am I suddenly under investigation?
Hey! Look, the murders keep happening at stupid o'clock, so I've been trying to stay up to see if I can catch any activity outside my window. . .I always end up dozing around 3 or 4am though.
But yeah, it just doesn't feel right letting it go. Not after Ian had to pay for our carelessness.
...I thought it was her from the beginning... because of the trident.
But it's not just that. There are a lot of other suspicious things. Did you see the way she acted at Ms. Pekoyama's trial? She got so mad when someone suggested the incentives weren't real. And defending Ms. Pekoyama's reason.
She'll fry you and batter you before you can say "Not the hair!"
Hmph! The first thing! [She sounds like she's parroting what someone else has told her:] If we speak up now, it might distract people from the future trials at hand or divide the castle.... We have to find a good way to do it!
[yeah okay DEFINITELY NOTICING THAT. . .raises an eyebrow]
I doubt it'd divide the castle. . .if people are fond of a killer, they're fond of a killer. They can't change their emotions at the drop of a hat. Even though I was disgusted at myself for defending Miss Peko despite realizing her guilt, it couldn't change the fact that I thought she was an alright person. For a hit man.
You are right, though. . .if there is another murder--which I don't doubt, given the incentive, we need to focus on that. Maybe, if we all survive through the weekend, we could pull her aside and talk to her privately first.

[that's so weird no one really visits aside from when Glinda had the power to just barge through]
[OPENS UP AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, his bandage is off atm]
--Maya? What is it?
no subject
Mr. Justice! You actually took it off!
...Let me in! I have to check out your room!
no subject
. . .
. . .
[jiiis at her]
Why?
no subject
Also, I want to talk to you. [But mostly the first thing!]
no subject
no subject
no subject
[shutting the door!]
So what is it?
no subject
[She actually stops to check out his room and bed...!]
[Does he actually sleep?]
no subject
What the--what are you doing? Am I suddenly under investigation?
no subject
Wow! You do sleep after all!
no subject
[rubs at the back of his head, yawning. it's not a complete lie!1]
. . .wait, why were you wondering that?
no subject
[Plops down on his bed like a rudeass]
You're still stuck on Eridan, huh?
no subject
Hey! Look, the murders keep happening at stupid o'clock, so I've been trying to stay up to see if I can catch any activity outside my window. . .I always end up dozing around 3 or 4am though.
But yeah, it just doesn't feel right letting it go. Not after Ian had to pay for our carelessness.
no subject
At this rate you'll just doze off in the middle of it! Why don't you just go to bed early instead?
.... Who do you think it was?
no subject
[slight huff]
Honestly? Feferi or Spain. I'm starting to ease up on the latter, though.
no subject
[Thoughtful hmm...]
Well, it's not Mr. Spain.
no subject
[tilts his head tho]
What makes you say that?
1/2
no subject
In any case, I know that he's innocent.
no subject
Okay, okay, I believe you, sorry. .. .!
But you realize that's kind of a backwards way of calling him dumb, right? How do you know for sure, instinct?
no subject
[(But yes, she just did call Spain dumb...)]
I'm saying he's not the devious scheming type!
....... [And now she'll stare at Apollo intensely!!]
no subject
W-what's with that staring? Are you copying me again?
1/2
no subject
Mr. Justice... If you find out who the real killer is, what will you do?
no subject
[he hesitates at first, then answers very plainly:]
First, I'd punch them square in the face.
Second, I'd demand a retrial.
Failing that, I'd ask for everyone's input on what their punishment should be. Our options are limited, but something could be done.
no subject
What if they don't believe you? What if the killer turns everyone against you instead?
no subject
[a huff]
I don't know. The truth being known is what matters most. . .what people do with the information, well, that's up to them.
no subject
And if you didn't have enough evidence to pin 'em down?!
no subject
In any case, I guess I'd have to badger the truth out of them, or. . .ugh, bluff a confession out. Not sure how well that would go.
no subject
....What about waiting, for now? Until we figure out a plan....
no subject
[a beat]
Besides if I went out there right now to loudly declare my suspicion, I'd be laughed out of the castle, if that were possible.
no subject
... I, um, I know who it is.... But we need a plan before we can do anything, you know?
1/2
[whaaaaaaaaat]
[the joke doesn't even register, he just stares at her in disbelief]
You. . .you. . .
no subject
Are you for real?! How? Why didn't you tell anyone!
no subject
I wasn't sure until recently, and I didn't want to say anything until I was sure, anyway!
no subject
Don't keep me in suspense, who do you think it is?
no subject
It's not Athena! It's Feferi!
no subject
W-who did you tell?!
. . .she makes the most sense, yeah, but how did you find out? Just thinking it through?
no subject
...I thought it was her from the beginning... because of the trident.
But it's not just that. There are a lot of other suspicious things. Did you see the way she acted at Ms. Pekoyama's trial? She got so mad when someone suggested the incentives weren't real. And defending Ms. Pekoyama's reason.
no subject
Yeah, she confronted me on that. . .I thought she was just being sympathetic. . .
. . .
Fish person or not, she's a girl, I can't punch her in the face..............[#priorities]
no subject
[Everyone felt bad for Pekoyama, but no one else seemed to agree with her reasoning. ANYWAY] There's more than just that that's suspicious.
[Just giving him a look!!!] If you do that she's going to stuff you in Davy Jones's locker! Don't be a dummy.
no subject
I'm not, I'm not! I don't want to end up in a fish fry.
So what are you saying, sit on my hands until there's a good time to call her out? Speak to her privately?
no subject
She'll fry you and batter you before you can say "Not the hair!"
Hmph! The first thing! [She sounds like she's parroting what someone else has told her:] If we speak up now, it might distract people from the future trials at hand or divide the castle.... We have to find a good way to do it!
