I'm going to assume that a day is enough for us to recover well enough over everything, so there are a few things I want to address now that the app has been secured again.

First of all, since it's troublesome only speaking on the app and we never know when it might be compromised again, I made a code for us to use in reference to each other. It's not completely finished but it should give you an idea of what I'm going for. I'm open to any other suggestions on what to add to it. Different demons have been assigned different flowers. Combatants and Navigators can be distinguished by where they "grow".

[insert list here]

Secondly, we need a place to meet up in real life. A few times in the past, the first round has used my dorm, but that isn't sustainable especially since other Awakened are and can be adults. I suggest a school-funded cafe project. Those of us attending Green Valley can use various excuses as an extracuricular activity focusing on economics, cooking, or whatever else. Adults could act as supervisors. Someone is free to mention a better idea.

Finally, I think we should start investigating figures of significance in Eddan and preparing to dispose of them if they turn out to have anything to do with our current situation.

It depends on what would come of the investigation. It could be relatively minor or it could be key.

We don't know yet.

No amount of reasoning could support taking one's life simply because you were wronged.

[ Heiji would agree that the perpetrator was reprehensible, and deserved consequences for their actions, but he didn't think they deserved to die because of it. ]

There's alternative forms of punishment. There's no reason to kill them.

Doesn't that depend on the wrong?

No.

It does not.

Then I'd say you're naive.

Anyway, if you're going to be useless in that discussion, you could at least offer input to the others since they affect all of us.

I don't think he's being naive.

Killing should always be a last resort. Especially if you're not even sure what will come of it. Otherwise you just sound like someone who's eager to shed blood for no other reason than to get his hands dirty...

Are you that kind of person?

[There's something he wants to say to that- something admittedly callous and driven by apathy- but Chikusa pauses. Not because he's suddenly had an epiphany, or been struck by the power of shounen friendship...]

[...but if he says something wrong, Makoto might say something about it again. That makes him feel weird and he doesn't like it.]

[So, uh, good timing, Fubuki. There's a brief delay before Chikusa's response comes.]

That's a slight leap of logic.

Besides, I hate getting dirty and sweaty.

[What do you mean that's not the priority-]

I can agree with that. Building up a stinking sweat is pretty gross. But I also think it's stinky to do something dangerous that could have adverse effects for everyone involved.

That would be why I wrote "investigate".

I guess. But shouldn't you wait to see the results of investigating before you even consider the possibility of taking a life?

Since that's always a possibility, not really.

It's only always a possibility if you want it to be or you're already backed into a corner without a means to try something else. I know.

We're in a tough spot, but we're not really cornered right now. Let's try to find a different solution first.

Really?

I'm tired of arguing so ok.

[a+ reasoning he knows]

Anyway, it's the least relevant issue on the table right now.

Okay.

[See, Chikusa? He can be a snot, too! He doesn't at all think it's the least relevant issue on the table, but...well, he can agree that arguing isn't going to make a difference and it's very tiring. More importantly, things might have gone a lot more smoothly at the school if everyone wasn't at each others' throats.]

You're referring to a place to meet, then? I think a cafe project could work really well. A private theater group could do nicely, too. And that might explain some of the odd things we're talking about or doing if anybody oversees or hears.

[You don't have to prove anything, Fubuki. His ears are still ringing from the telepathic argument that broke out. He knows.]

The thing about theater is that we'd have to have people go along with it to make it convincing enough. A theater group that doesn't perform would be strange.

[...he's not sorry about the part he played in that.]

That's an easy problem to solve. If a theater troupe performs, then we perform! It would be good practice if nothing else, and it's not like everyone has to have an acting role. People can be choreographers, too, or any number of other positions. That way only those comfortable with being front and center will have to be.

Besides, I can't really think of a better way to practice our skills in broad daylight and not draw suspicion, can you?

action or log?

log! a multi-purpose flowershop log should be going up in a few days so there'll work

kokuyoyo - 2017-08-19 19:56 (UTC) - Expand

i'll keep an eye out for it!

You have no basis to make that claim. [ For one, and two, ] I've already started investigating.

[ Input comes with answers, and he was still looking for them. ]

Edited 2017-08-07 17:43 (UTC)

There is this whole conversation.

Anyway, you should probably share what information you find if that's true.

You're deductive reasoning is malpracticed if that's your supporting argument.

[ Meanwhile Heiji will just continue to tally up everything he didn't like about Chikusa since he became lucid. ]

After a suffecient amout of evidence.

[ What good was a hypothesis if it had missing information? ]

Will I get paid if I make an actual indepth supporting argument?

[He's feeling lazy and can only argue so much even with how little energy it takes to text, Heiji, okay]

[ Was this guy serious? ]

No, you won't get paid.

Then I don't really see a reason to explain how you're being naive when there's more important things to deal with.

[And also he's run out of energy whups]

Fine. Whatever. Think what you want.

I'll handle things with or without you.

[ Chikusa pissed him the hell off, but he wasn't useless. And Heiji wasn't about to depend on him when he could form his own resources. ]
