Don't worry about it, it's not your fault. I didn't ask you to check for the gun anyway. [I FUCKIN DID BUT DENISE SAID NO but it's fine this is still IC] I assumed we'd be looking at the knife too.
[And they'd narrowed in on Bucky by that point anyway--the fucking gun nonsense was just the confirmation cherry on top. He sighs, rubbing his forehead.] I'm not used to this kind of thing.
[LOOK it's fine we're all fucking stupid and tired]
I've done them before, but nothing like this. And normally I have others with me. [Well. Kind of. He usually does shit alone but he's always got the Fatui info network to fall back on.] It would've been a lot easier if we had access to our abilities.
Kind of. [He personally doesn't, really, but that's because he has better things to do.] Those of us who have Visions have Elemental Sight--a stronger affinity for elemental energy. It makes it easy to track people down.
[You can literally just slap elemental dust on a piece of paper and give it to someone if you need to tail them]
Lavi eats, but his head is tilted towards Childe, clearly interested. MURDER HAPPENED AND ANOTHER TEENAGER IS GONNA DIE AND YET, he's here like this.]
Seriously? Wish I had something like that.
I've got a friend who has an eye who can see stuff, but the rest of us have to get by on our own. I just stand around and cause enough attention for them to come to me.
[I AGREE and I think you should kill me next week so we can accomplish this goal]
Yeah. [He does consider mentioning his Delusion to Lavi for like. A minute or two. But unfortunately even besties don't get that much privilege this quickly...] I guess it's not a surprise that it doesn't work here if we really are dead, but...
[the way childe is like such a new breed of person, he's not like any of the dgm ppl lavi knows wow, actually he'd be like socalo but he doesn't know that childe's that fighty yet]
Yeah, that sounds like Rosé. [Rosé... let him in... he wants to see the Garden,
[Damn... if we golden end Childe will have to go visit dgm-verse and then immediately abandon Lavi for that guy
But he perks up a little, at that; it might not actually be helpful, but at least gathering information makes him feel like he's not quiet so unmoored.]
'Level whole islands, rearrange dimensions, command armies of the dead, fly, and make bridges connecting the island'. You think we might count for the third one?
I think I'd have to meet him first. I already serve Her Majesty, so he'd have to be pretty convincing or else I'd just want to defeat him. [I can't believe we figured out golden end so fast]

week 0 saturday
Lavi's hunched in one of the booths, eating a couple of fries. He waves at Childe when he sees them, though it takes a moment for him to chew --]
Hey. Sorry about the knife. Felt pressed for time when I found the shoes... So I forgot about it like an idiot.

[Normally he's the one doing the stabbing...]
no subject
Yeah, me neither. I've seen investigations before, but I've never been involved.
[childe was talking about stabbing well lavi doesn't know that]
...Especially with that time frame.

You mean like your Vision? [thinks] I'm guessing you use it for more than fighting then?
no subject

no subject
But yeah Childe is way more interested in this conversation than the murder tbh. RIP Hunter I wish Childe cared about you (pensive)]
You said you can use fire and lightning, right?
no subject
Yup, either or both at the same time. And yours is hydro? Water would be real useful here...
[CHILDE'S GIANT WHALE TOO]
no subject
Yeah. [He does consider mentioning his Delusion to Lavi for like. A minute or two. But unfortunately even besties don't get that much privilege this quickly...] I guess it's not a surprise that it doesn't work here if we really are dead, but...
[BUT IT STILL FUCKING SUCKS]
no subject
HE JUST MENTIONS HIS DELUSION AND LAVI'S LIKE `:)? why's it called that surely it doesn't mean anything bad?`]
You think we could convince Satan to give our powers back now that a murder happened?
[why would satan do that]
no subject
Also Childe just looks. So disappointed.]
I doubt they'd be that generous. Rosé wouldn't even give me a weapon to spar with. [Which might just be because Rosé is a LOSER but still]
no subject
Yeah, that sounds like Rosé. [Rosé... let him in... he wants to see the Garden,
sympathetically,]
At least we can still spar with our fists.
[HANDS..... YAY....]
no subject
Also he just. Rubs his forehead tiredly. THEY CAN AND HE'LL TAKE WHAT HE CAN GET BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME... tragic.]
Have you talked to the other ones much, yet? [The other DEMONS]
no subject
Just Bloody Mary and Cosmo. I should really get around to the rest.
[except im drowning]
Mary's the serious type. Cosmo's the opposite. They mentioned a bunch of powers the greater demons apparently have.
no subject
But he perks up a little, at that; it might not actually be helpful, but at least gathering information makes him feel like he's not quiet so unmoored.]
Like what?
no subject
He holds up his hands to tick off his fingers,]
'Level whole islands, rearrange dimensions, command armies of the dead, fly, and make bridges connecting the island'. You think we might count for the third one?
[are they the ARMY]
no subject
Childe's sitting here like "man if I have to be stuck here for eternity can I at least get promoted"]
If we do, they'll have to earn my compliance. [Childe was a terrible foot soldier I am positive of this]
no subject
I've got a weird feeling that's not easy to do. For some reason.
[wow... wonder why... it's the vibe]
no subject
He opens his mouth, then pauses.]
Normally I'd say it's not that hard, but I don't think I want it to be easy for them. [A DILEMMA]
no subject
Can't blame ya there. What about for Satan? The demons seem to respect him a lot.
[golden end: childe supplants satan and lets everyone go back bc no one's an interesting fighter]
no subject
WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE HE'S THINKING ABOUT IT]
I think I'd have to meet him first. I already serve Her Majesty, so he'd have to be pretty convincing or else I'd just want to defeat him. [I can't believe we figured out golden end so fast]
no subject
Man, I really wanna be there when you do.
[(shrek voice) HIT HIM WITH A CHAIR]
If ya decide to beat him, then maybe you can tag me and Gideon in.
[no childe fights alone]
no subject
Between the three of us, we'll take him down in no time! [Childe hasn't seen Lavi fight but he'll give him the benefit of the doubt]
