[congrats saya! that just gets a little laugh out of him... priorities indeed.]

Hm... what do you think of it then, this time?

[squelching]

If it's only nine hours again, one of then is probably going to get away with it.

[though she doesn't seem super interested this week, either.]

[riverbero]

I'd hate to see that happen.

[a little dryly, maybe.]

Well, but at least it's only twelve hours.

[squelching]

At least.

[... a pause, as she unsubtly glances around to see how far away they are from the other boats.]

Hey, do you like Greta's cooking now that you're back to normal?

[riverbero]

Don't you think it would be a shame not to show one of the Eight Chefs proper appreciation for their work?

[squelching]

[the way she just goes 😮

and then she starts giggling.]

Mhmm, a real shame! [...] I can get you some of the ingredients if you're ever in the mood for it. I know a place.

[riverbero]

Hahaha... ah, do you?

[that's a surprise, but not an unwelcome one.

after a moment of consideration:]

Hm... do me a favor, would you, Saya? Would you ask me something you already know?

[squelching]

[sometimes... you are just a cute teenage(?) girl who knows where to find Special Meat.]

Something I already know?

[a tilt of her head, blinking at him, not sure where this is going.]

Like what's the color of the sky...? Or something about you?

[riverbero]

[nodding!]

Like the sky being red, yes.

Seems I can only tell the truth at the moment, but I certainly didn't do anything.

[squelching]

[oh. hm. she is immediately making such a face.]

... You're cursed. Again. Or... still? [GIRL, HELP. well. scratch grocery plans, but.] Is it a new one?

[sir, did you kill someone. does she need to lie out of her ass for you.]

[riverbero]

I'm not cursed at all.

[so, you know.]

But it wouldn't make sense for the first one to simply change, would it?

[squelching]

You could've had two curses overlapping with each other. But if that's not the case...

[sir!!! she huffs out a little laugh.]

Don't get executed for it, okay? It's going to be boring if you're not around.

[riverbero]

Well, with two cases, they're certain to figure out both.

[lol. lmao.]

Don't you think it's interesting that there was still another?

[squelching]

Don't be the one they solve.

[this is so funny. she will be soooo mad if he gets caught over the other person, smh!!]

Yeah... I've been wondering if that other person was set up, like Mika. Though I guess they could've decided to have fun, too.

[riverbero]

Haha, I'll try to be.

[having this talk in a swan boat is so funny, god.]

I wonder if two people really might have just decided to act on their own?

[squelching]

[the way she can't even tell if he's saying he killed both, knows who killed the other one or if he's just asking his funky little weirdo questions with this curse.

looks at him curiously.]

Well... what do you think?

[riverbero]

Hm...

It would be more interesting, wouldn't it? But hasn't this place proven boring in that way already?

[squelching]

[she sighs.]

Yeah... And I bet everyone's going to get all sad about it again after they stop being mad that two people died.

[the way she wasn't close to chiemi and norma so she's just like, man. who does she have to bus tomorrow.]

Oh. Since you're lying anyway, if you're hurt and they start asking questions, you can just say I saw those on Thursday before the lake. Do you need a Remedy?

[riverbero]

[hmm. one sec what's the easiest way to give a more detailed answer when he can't actually answer.]

Yes.

[so no. he gestures to one thigh.]

I happen to have an older bullet wound that was acquired in my line of work, back in the City.

[squelching]

[she glances at his thigh when he gesture at it, frowning, and then she nods.]

... Okay. Got it.

[thinking about the bullet she found in the arcade like hmmmm, maybe i should not have reported that. oh, well.]

By the way, I'm a little curious about how this works. Do you feel like you need to be here, inside this boat?
