[the way everyone who wasn't on invest will just see wild shit happening is personally so funny to me
THE WAY LAVI AND KANDA WILL ABSOLUTELY BE LIKE WHAT THE FCK IS GOING ON AND GO OUT TO EXPLORE at some point they'll spot the board ig. Lavi immediately stops in his tracks, and then moves closer to the posters]
Anyway Kanda would've noticed something was wrong when he woke up way later than usual, so they can def head out investigating (ish). His foot and his speech are back to normal thank god. My cowboy impersonations are so fucking bad.]
Did someone draw these? [WITH WHAT ART SUPPLIES???]
[IMAGINE HE STILL HAD HIS BIGFOOT AND COWBOY SPEECH
also the way neither of them know what movie poster is is destroying me too. Lavi will at least peer more closely at them... and then reach out to try and pull it off the board for closer examination.
instead he yanks his hand away with a hiss. paper cut... and then touch the poster again. i really asked mods for details and now im being shamed for thinking they were glossy posters...]
[THEY REALLY DON'T HELPPP it's okay I feel like the style is close enough to those old like. Circus posters that it's fine even if they don't get the actual references.
I want Kanda to notice the new NPC poster so bad but he won't... he fucking won't... but he will notice the "rest in peace" at the top of these ones. And the blue fire...]
Are they dead?
[This would be a weird fucking way to announce it but honestly I think Kanda's just surprised it took this long for danger to kick up]
[It is very dgm-y.... it makes him wonder if this is something the Noah would do, if the very thing they'd both been waiting for has finally begun--but he's pulled from his thoughts at Lavi's words, and he looks at the new profile.]
Who the hell is that?
[He doesn't keep track of names but he's pretty sure he would've noticed another furry wandering around???]
Lavi looks at the profiles again, even though he doesn't really need to look to remember the answer.]
...I think he's Death. [the masks were frustrating, but there is something about Death's identity being peeled away like this that doesn't sit right with Lavi,
[Kanda doesn't question his conclusion; he's observant in his own ways, but this kind of thing is much more Lavi's wheelhouse. He glances at Lavi's face, then follows his gaze back to the poster, and flexes his fingers.]
Do you think they put this up? [Killing Death, exposing their identity--it sounds like it could be the actions of the same person. But then, why?]
[he's frustrated, maybe half of it for the deaths of two people, maybe half for how little information he's working on.]
It could be a warning. Death was working with the others to help us -- they were essentially traitors. But that's assuming the cultists are behind his death. And if they are, why did they kill a sacrifice?
[Kanda glances at the sky, then around--but he doesn't see anything that tells him how the cult might be watching and listening to them, so he can only assume it's some kind of magic, the same way he did initially.
But then again, who's to say how subtle Death was? Maybe they were obvious from the start. If the cult is as powerful as those four made it sound, it doesn't really surprise him that this plan of sneaking around seems to have failed. The Earl can find mourners anywhere, and doesn't the Order have its Crows?]
Maybe the other three know where the bodies are. [THEY DON'T KNOW THEY WERE JUST MURDERED RIGHT OUT HERE IN THEIR LITTLE TOWN] Figure the rest out later.
[He doesn't know they can't abscond with the bodies and burn them]
[STOP. THIS IS SO FUNNY. they should remain ignorant but im gonna do a timeskip after they've found out everything, like how the bodies are fcking GONE. once lavi talks to a few people, he'll regroup with Kanda. he looks even MORE annoyed than before because nothing makes SENSE and all avenues of information are apparently CLOSED and also]
[Kanda mostly just went around asking about the bodies like a dick so I'm tagging this back before someone tells him about the locked doors because it's funnier this way even if my continuity gets broken later]
[YEAH listen everyone else can be sad and kick dirt but he'll piss everyone off with the hard questions if it means they don't get mcmurdered by fancy cult-bred Akuma
But his face darkens at that.]
I knew something was wrong. [Tch!!!] There were signs of a fight around. We should've heard it.
[HE'S BRIEFLY MAD ABOUT HIS FOOT ALL OVER AGAIN but being mad about the deep sleep spell or whatever overrides that]
[kanda and lavi waiting in the wings after trial like okay time to turn these bodies into ash.
...he rubs at his face,]
They didn't want us getting in the way, probably. Not because they're afraid of what we can do -- but maybe cause Aventurine was more personal for them?
Or he was just random, and their whole process is picking us off one by one. [GOD] We really don't know shit.
[LITERALLY I think about how they're gonna have to sit through trial just being like "what the fck are we doing"
This is frustrating, though. Not because Kanda cares that much about the details, but because he does try to minimize casualties, and being in the dark gets in the way of that. Despite some of the things he's said, he probably wouldn't throw this whole group to the wolves just to save himself and Lavi.]
At least one of them put up a fight. I heard there were signs of one around.

...Looks like it.
[his eyes dart from them to the rest of the scattered profiles, instinctively moving towards Aventurine's and then Death's. and then he pauses.]
...'Nehan'? Yuu, look. The profile changed.

We should have checked the door.
[THEY REALLY HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE LOCKED IN]
no subject
Why?
no subject
Apparently, it was locked. Everyone else figured it out because they tried to leave sometime in the night.
[AND THEY JUTS DID NOTHING]
And they also all fell asleep at midnight...

Could have been Death. I heard he still had his powers.
[and yet he still mcfcking DIED]
Aventurine... Maybe. He didn't seem like the helpless type.
no subject
But were they powerful enough to fight off the other cult members on their own?
[He is really struggling to place how powerful these cult members are on his mental ranking of "enemies to take seriously"]
no subject
Probably not? 'Specially with their magic suppressing abilities.
no subject
What about the other three? Where are they?
no subject
...Can't find their crows. We're cut off from them.
[even though they are HEARING SO MUCH CROW SQUAWKING]

Let's make one last round.
