..... we have to vote, because I don't trust that anybody here won't take the chance to get rid of someone they don't like if the rest of us say that we won't vote. Or worse, a bunch of single someones will get that idea, and we'll end up with a tie.
[that
that would suck so badly and it makes him pretty unhappy]
.... but you haven't - and you didn't even really snap in a way that wasn't understandable. I don't think you're an ass either, Ming Yi-san....
Mm, not voting is a matter of getting everyone to agree, and we can't necessarily guarantee that they won't go back on it. Getting a tie would... [ hm ] Would that result in two, three, or four people together on Sunday..?
[ Boy.
That's food for thought, and he's not sure he has the appetite for it. He splits his loquat in half after a beat of silence, going to pick the middle out before Mineo says words that he has to process for like. Six different reasons. ]
It could have been someone wanted to use my ire at Vlad to cover for what they did. Luca and I spoke and spent time together a few times, but it was agreeable. Steven and I had never spoken, and... well.
[ He looks at the shovel. And then back at Mineo again for that last part. ]
[and mineo will just keep munching on a chip. he's pretty much decided that they're never allowed to tie. it'd be an incredibly bad time.]
.... yeah. I guess I'm just still stuck on - if Vlad-san wasn't the one who grabbed your shovel, then who could've known where you were? And why'd they also go out of their way to frame you? And so poorly?
... if it matters, Ming is the family name. [ He can sort of gather that this is like when Qingxuan calls him Ming-xiong. So there's that.
Why does this keep happening to him! But, yeah, voting and winding up with a tie sounds like despair that no one could indulge in. ]
I don't talk to anyone about where I go for curfews. Not even Qingxuan, really - it's more that she and I just leave for whatever place, and wind up staying there, at this point. [ He momfs on half of the loquat in one bite, chews, and swallows before he continues. ] We were working on the theory that perhaps Vlad took it with him, when he found himself awake. But finding out that it was used to kill Steven...
There's so much overlap, and not a lot of sense to be made. I still think the killer's presence in the kitchen came after Luca's, which does check out, maybe, when looking at the cacti and those stupid shoes you found.
[IS THAT TOO CLOSE?????????? HE IMMEDIATELY LOOKS LIKE HE'S NOT SURE!!!!! HOW DO YOU BEFRIEND MING YI IN A SENSIBLE WAY
but he'll just sigh a little bit when it comes to the theorizing itself.]
But... yeah. [just. yeah.] I think that's what we need to do. Draw out a map of where we think everyone went and when. Then we might be able to figure out something better. And also to decipher the extra clues and stuff we got.
That's probably too familiar but honestly Ming Yi couldn't give a shit at this point in his life. ]
Sure. [ He calls him Mineo, anyways. He's going to move on and let this weird mortal call him whatever he wants. ]
Understanding something about what happened this week will give us some more focus next week, ideally. And if there's something of note, a pattern, anything we missed... maybe it'll help us catch someone, if they were one of our past murderers.
The jail hints... which I think I should've thought harder about. But for Starphase-san... everything pointed to him. The man praying. The air getting a little more suffocating.
So I thought... the toblerones that we found on the ground - could that also be connected? Does that mean those two murders were by the same person?
Mm, they did find those chocolate bars there, didn't they. [ How out of place... but, he's resolutely stayed away from the jail cell, so he'll just incline his head as Mineo details the hints. ] I won't lie, I didn't - really think much about the hints from there. So even if it's after the fact, it's good that you're turning it all over again in more detail.
[ mm trauma ]
We spent so long trying to find both of their bodies, to no avail, but even without the first of the two it was obvious they both had fairly gruesome deaths considering how much blood was found with both of them. It could be possible.

Yi-kun.
[hell yea1]
.... I'm starting to think Starphase-san's murder and Kaan-san's murder were the same person, if that means anything.
no subject
At least they have something else to focus on, and he takes a bite of the other half of his loquat as he considers that. ]
What's connecting them for you, Mineo? [ Genuinely, even if he's as toneless as ever. ]
