[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.

Why?

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]

[THIS SUCKS]

Let's make one last round.
[and find absolutely nothing]
