If it’s related to something to do with what just happened, or this place in general? If I were a big asshole in a fancy mansion running a kidnap and murder scheme, I’d want people to shut their mouths about it too.
[ this seems weirdly, vaguely occult and he Doesn’t Like That ]
Even tangentially. Could be something significant and we don’t know it yet. Maybe keep that in mind.
You were locked somewhere before everyone hit the deck? ... [ He's thoughtful for a moment, before leaning forwards. Akechi... if he's remembering right, that's the nosey one, who was trying to ask everyone twenty questions when we first got to this place. ]
If anyone'd have something like that, it'd be the Monobun. Housekeepers have to fix things, right? [ so she'd have some kind of thread, and possibly the clasps to hand. ] Come up with a good enough excuse to ask for them and she might hand some of the goods over.

I feel like I deserve that.
[even though his middle finger had a mind of its own]
no subject
[ the finger is dropped. Point made. ]
You didn’t plan that one either?
no subject
[. . .]
[flops over onto his side, utterly defeated]
no subject
Figure out when that is and I will.
[ he just. bumps akira with his shoe. look at this pile of defeat. ]
no subject
[UUUUUUUUUGH]
I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I figure it out.
no subject
You either got the shittiest end of this whole sense loss deal, or something’s decided it isn’t your time to talk. [ either one sucks lbh ]
Sucks if it’s the last one.
no subject
Tell me about it. If something is trying to keep me from talking, then what am I not supposed to be saying?
[hell if he knows]

The thing is, I don't know what it is I'm supposed to be keeping my mouth shut about.
Other than being locked in the billiards room with Akechi for an hour before we were knocked out, nothing strange happened to me last night.

...
How'd that work out for you?
no subject
[. . . just. gives a wry snort as he rolls his eyes]
It was annoying. [but] But otherwise fine.
[. . .]
I pulled out my back trying to move the billiards table and he laughed at me.
[LIKE THE JERK THAT HE IS]
no subject
...
[ I MEAN. THAT IS KINDA FUNNY, GRANPAKIRA. ] They're pretty heavy. Unless you need to move it, I wouldn't recommend it for fun.
no subject
["all right" might be a bit too generous but WHATEVER]
I didn't know. . . I suggested using it as a battering ram to knock down the door.
[OBVIOUSLY THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR HIM]
no subject
Just.
Just this face, Akira. ]
no subject
[LOOK]
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
[MAKOTO NIIJIMA IS HIS STRATEGIST OKAY]
no subject
Or a desperation move. [ although, honestly? valid. ] It might have been easier to try picking the lock.
no subject
[he hasn't been able to make any although he has TRIED]
no subject
Paperclip.
no subject
["before". . .]
no subject
Even the thicker ones? Those can handle a bit more of a beating.
no subject
I'm used to working with silk yarn and tin clasps.
[he sure is being casual about this!!]
Though if those supplies are absent here, I guess I should expand my product list. . .

no subject
You have a good point. I hadn't thought about asking her.
no subject
[ ... ]
I could ask for one thing, you could ask for the other? Split the requests and make it tougher to piece together.
no subject
Sure. I'll even make some extra lock picks, if you want to use them.
