Kubo AtsushiWhat are you sorry for, huh? Acting as if he didn't know- hell, maybe he was being honest. Maybe he didn't know. Maybe Kubo was apologising for nothing and Idris didn't care. He should probably just say nevermind, sorry for bothering you, asshole and finish searching these stupid labs once and for all. "Look," he said. "I'm sorry, alright? I'm sorry for what I said to you about her. It was stupid and I knew it, even then. God, I just- even if you don't care, I wanted you to know that. Goddamn, I just-" He paused. His hand brushed against the warm skin of his forehead. He dizzily wondered if he had a fever. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. He wasn't sure about a lot of things now. "I'm sorry." The words were foreign on his tongue. Awful tasting. He wanted to pretend he never said any of that. Get up and walk away. Maybe he'd start now- take a few steps forward and keep going, and going and going until even the faces of those still alive blurred to nothing. Running away, again, Kubo? He shook his head. Idiot.

Kubo AtsushiKubo licked his lips. Oh, kinda dry. He wished he had some chapstick right about now. His hands were itching too. He wanted to shove them in his pockets, or in his gloves, or- He forced his eyes back to Idris. Say it. You have to say it. Kubo, please- For a second, Idris' eyes were Kaoru's. She was saying that she could be saved. That by his words, those eyes would remain, still and beautiful. They faded back into Idris's and- "I'm sorry," he said, and suddenly Kaoru didn't matter. The world of Shirakawa-go faded into the background and the eyes on him blinked out of sight. All that stood there was them. Him and Idris. All the guilt and pain and- "I'm sorry. I... I don't know what else to say. I shouldn't have..." Shouldn't have what? "I shouldn't have," he said quietly. "And I'm sorry." [Read more] |

Miyako HirotoHer brow furrowed. "Right. Save Darcy." Gotta love that. She heaved a sigh. "Might as well, I guess. You want to go down first, or...? Yeah..." Kubo Atsushi"Yeah, I guess." Kubo had to hide a wince. He hadn't even considered that. Was he slipping? Or were there always things he never considered, just waiting to be uncovered? It was a disconcerting thought. He imagined it would be that way for anyone... but that as the Ultimate Detective, it might come as a harsher blow. After all, being a detective is about people. You figure them out, and start deducting off of it. You need to have some kind of way to feel superior, else you stop assigning them categories and roles in your mind. If you start seeing them as equals... Well, everything breaks apart. It was a hard thought, realising just how little he knew. How misplaced his confidence had been all this time. Before he knew it, his lips were forming around the words. "Hey Idris... there was something I wanted to say to you. If it's okay." Not now, his mind argued. Wait until you're at Mei's, and he's emotionally vulnerable. Then you know he'll forgive you. But if Kubo did that, would he even be worthy of forgiveness? Manipulating Idris... dehumanising him... viewing him as a means to an end... He looked Idris in the eyes and he recognised another person staring back through those piercing, catlike eyes. He imagined himself in Idris' mind's eye. Little Kubo Atsushi, amber eyes and black collar. The one who tore him apart for no reason, other than to satisfy his own twisted... whatever. He wasn't sure what Idris thought, not really. Because he was another person. A person who everyone, especially Kubo, had chosen to degrade and dehumanise. To toy with. Even when people like Miyako said sympathetic things about Idris, it was never done without some mention to Mei. Mei, Mei Mei. As if that made someone valuable. As if he wasn't capable of so much more. Like how I make my everything about Kaoru. The shock of the statement nearly shook him out of his thoughts. He'd never considered just how closely he tied his identity in with Kaoru. Just how much he made her influence him. Of course he knew that she was a part if him... but he never considered his own role in it. How could he heal, if he was determined to stay hurt? How could Idris heal when everyone was determined he'd stay sad and broken without Mei? Maybe it was a poor comparison to make. But this was the closest he'd come to empathy in a while. So to hell with it. If he could live as Kubo Atsushi, he could stomach being a fool. A detective? He nearly snorted at the thought. Hardly. It's a miracle I can wipe my own ass. [Read more] |

Jace Mawer (Nora)"Charmed." She flashed a grin at him. "I suppose I am rather elderly then, darling. But you'll support this old gal through retirement, wontcha? It's just a few hundred dollars a month. You wouldn't let this poor dear grandmother down, riiiiiight?" She noticed one of the head detectives emerging from the side room. Dear Cadence Laurier, in all her spiteful glory. She'd just made up her mind to ignore her, when the lady started spitting her venom. "Oh! The puppy bares its teeth." Nora tipped her head to the side with a smile. "What might you be doing here?" Adrik VolkovAdrik jumped. Another intern? And coming to his defense? That was... A smile slowly started to spread across his face. "Aww, what do you know." The girl rolled her eyes. "Yes I'm aware of how glasses work. Who even are you? Another smart guy? Some big shot detective, getting too big for his britches?" Niwa Atsushi"Okay?" Niwa echoed. Was he okay? Yeah, he supposed, he was. "Yeah, I didn't fall or anything. Thanks though. I can be kinda clumsy sometimes." He ran a hand through his hair and laughed a little too long. He shut his mouth and ducked his head. When he spoke again, it was barely more than a mumble. "Are you okay? You seem kinda nervous... not that I can really say anything... I'm kinda scared myself." He lifted his head slightly; barely met the other kids' eyes, then ducked again. "It's just my first year as a detective. You know how it is..." [Read more] |

Narcisse Michon"I don't recall ever inviting you to our important discussion. What do you want, brat?" He stared down the little detective, doing his best to put all his pent up Mawer-inspired rage into his glare. Get lost, he mouthed at him. This doesn't involve you. "Call me Nora, Yu-Yu!" Detective Mawer said cheerfully, ever upbeat. "You gonna help us supervise the internees later? I imagine your old and creaky bones might be too weak to take all that youthful energy and modern pop culture. It's alright if you gotta back out." She winked at Detective Yu. Narcisse felt a headache coming on. "Your strange sense of humour continues to confound me." He ran a hand through his hair, trying to smooth out the curls. It was exhausting, dealing with Detective Mawer. He wasn't sure why he even bothered to try at this point. "Get to the point, please." [Read more] |

"Welcome to The Clockwork Detective Agency! Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime- heinous murder, theft, and tweed coats! Dressed in our dazzling colours of grey and beige, you'll meander around an office full of boredom and the sheer unrelenting agony known as a broken coffee machine." Detective Jace Mawer clapped her hands gleefully together. "Your tasks will include paperwork, more paperwork, and crying over the deadlines of paperwork, imposed by our robotaid overlords. You have no free will in this matter. If you felt like it, you could even say that this place will turn you into an android! An office one. Haha." Dead silence answered her. She was not deterred, but instead went on, "So prepare yourself for the adventure of a lifetime! I'm sure things will spice up soon. And when it does, we're here to pick up the pieces for you." She smirked. "Pick up the pieces... that were you, that is. Try and keep yourselves together, kiddins. There's only so many internees-mysteriously-disappearing cases that we can file under 'unsolved' before they start getting suspicious. I’m not expecting miracles, but if you can keep that number at two or three, then it’d be very helpful.” The silence somehow got louder. Was that even possible? Louder silence? She seemed determined to make it happen. “Anyway! Thanks for coming to Trainee Initiaion! Orientation starts at 7, same location. And remember, call me Nora!” She waved and whooped as if she were a rock star. An intern in the back was crying. “Have a great day!” Narcisse MichonAh. Jace Mawer, crazy extraordinaire. Nora. Narcisse barely withheld a sneer. Of course the higher ups gave that fool the initiation speech. Looking around, he could already pick out the bewildered expressions of the interns. He might've pitied their fear and confusion. But they weren't here to be loved or parented. Hardly. They were here to get a few extra course credits. Advance their portfolios so they could go on and be doctors and lawyers and stop rotting at the bottom of society. He nearly scoffed. So much for human superiority. What's your empathy doing for you now? Sure you can cry at Old Age movies, and feel bad when a puppy slips and cracks its fool head open in a sewer drain. Good for you. You'll still end up rotting in the slums. Very few humans these days had any money at all. They tended to project those inane dreams onto their kids. Childish adults, raising childish children. None of them would make it. He could tell just looking at the lot. Maybe the few who had some enhancements done to their brains... but then, could they really be called human? No... no, that was a dangerous train of thought. A slippery slope of morality. He shouldn't get sidetracked onto it. "Mister... Mister Head Detective?" Niwa. His eyebrow twitched. He wished to be anywhere else in the world at that exact moment. "Yes, Detective?" He braced himself. "I hope you have a good reason for bothering me." He spun to face the shrimpy kid and levelled him with an unimpressed stare. Niwa shrivelled. "It's... it's just that..." "What? Speak clearly." "We need you for orientation... the Head Detectives are supposed to..." "I am aware." "Oh..." Niwa wrung his hands out. "It's just that- it's supposed to start soon and the others were all gathering... and..." Narcisse checked his watch. "The orientation is at 7 o'clock, is it not? I imagine that my presence will not be needed until then. I was hoping to have dinner, beforehand." The kid looked like a kicked puppy. Narcisse might've felt bad, but honestly? He had it coming. Imagine, trying to teach the Head Detective how to do their job. The nerve. You aren't me, kid, and with the way this is going, I doubt you ever will be. "I was just... trying to be helpful." "Aw, give 'im a break, Narcisse." Detective Mawer grinned at him, popping up out of thin air as per usual. "Ya' don't need to go so hard on him. He's just a kid, you know." Niwa's eyes had lit up at her approach, but at her words, the light died and he started shrinking in on himself. Narcisse was well aware of the baby Detective's puppy crush on her. Ever since he came to the agency, Niwa was following her around as if she were some holy saviour. It was pathetic, honestly. Detective Mawer didn't care for any of the interns she folded into her little group. She would drop him and give it a kick for spare measure, should she think that doing so might get her a promotion. Detective Mawer met his gaze, a smile creeping onto her face. He was the first to break eye contact, turning to stare at the stage. "That was interesting," he acknowledged. "What you said, about androids." "I'm glad you think so. I had to sneak it in. My supervisors weren't so sure that it was the right way to go, but I thought that you might be particularly interested." Supervisors, eh? That's certainly one way to put it. Narcisse allowed his lips to go up in a little smirk. "You might, very well be right." Niwa was looking between the two of them, eyebrows furrowed. "How about you go for now, kiddo? The grown-ups need to talk." Detective Mawer gave him a little pat on the shoulder. "The others and I are going out to the pub later- if you want, you can hit up the new assistants. This stick in the mud certainly won't try to arrange any get-togethers." She shot Narcisse a grin. He stared back at her, wishing he could condense all the hate in his heart into a single glare. “Okay..." Niwa said slowly. He glanced between the two of them. Narcisse got a bad feeling. "I'll just... leave the two of you alone, then?" The bad feeling intensified. Oh, absolutely not. He opened his mouth to give the stupid, stupid child a piece of his mind, but Detective Mawer cut him off, "Yeah, for sure! See you later, 'kay?" The kid nodded mutely and started backing up. He ran into some little assistant girl, who started giggling, grinning at his blushing, clearly flustered face. "Sorry, sorry, sorry..." He fled into the crowd. Narcisse turned his glare on Detective Mawer. She grinned back. Good lord. He heaved an internal sigh. I am surrounded by idiots. "What do you want?" Andreja BuivisDamn, boring introductory speech. She'd been sitting through wayyy too many of those lately. Grad stuff, college stuff, think about your future Andreja! Do you really want to spend the rest of your life scrawling "I had a big sh*t" in bathroom stalls? And yes, she DID. And YES she DID zone out through that entire speech, MOM. "Call Me Maybe" began to scream out from her pocket. Aha! A call! She fished it out to see- Grandma. Eh. She hit ignore and began to survey her surroundings, taking in her future coworkers. So far, they looked lame and un-policey. The old cop shows always made detectives seem cool and tough, but so far it seemed like a whole lotta nonsense. Target acquired. A small, terrified looking kid stood there. He had thick round glasses that he was adjusting with trembling hands, nervous brown eyes blinking behind them and darting back and forth. Clearly new. Ooh! Fresh meat! She made her way towards him. Adrik VolkovThat speech certainly was... interesting. Should he be concerned? Or just... Yeah. He adjusted his glasses and released a shaky breath. Maybe he should go home and rest for a few hours. He didn't have to worry about orientation until 7:00. He could take the time to prepare himself mentally. This whole thing was starting to feel like a mistake. "Hey, kid!" A head popped up in the crowd. He pointed to himself and mouthed me?. "Yeah, you!" she yelled. "I wanna talk to you!" His mouth opened in an "o", and suddenly she was right in his face. "You look kinda cute like that," she said cheerfully. "Like an owl." She tapped the bridge of her nose. "My er- glasses?" "Yeah, your glasses make you look adorable." She nodded. "And that expression on your face. Kinda dumb, but in a loveable way." She grinned. Staring into her shining white teeth, the canines of which seemed unnervingly sharp, he... he gulped. Why did he get the sense that she wanted to eat him alive??? [Read more] |

All Around The School"Ding dong ding~ puhuhuhu! It's time for lunch time, kiddos! Gotta keep in tip top shape if you want to escape~ and enjoy your MURDEROUSLY delightful prom tonight!" Monokuma grinned, his white teeth shining in the bright light of the camera. "Better hurry up~ I think you'll find something very interesting there..." Kubo Atsushi"The bear knows," Kubo realised. Everything felt numb. "We're trying to escape... and he doesn't care. Of course... why wouldn't he." There were cameras everywhere. Even the dorms. The thought made him nauseous. Nothing could escape the bear's eye. Everything that happened- it happened because Monokuma wanted it to. There was no way around it. Even the choice of murderer seemed predetermined. Had Kaoru always been meant to die? His brow furrowed. No. That was stupid. The bear was hardly omnipotent- that's why he stashed the cameras everywhere. But still, the thought remained. Quiet, but still there, whispering in the back of his head. Kubo acknowledged it and then stuffed it as deep in his subconscious as it'd go. "Do you think we should keep investigating? Or head off to lunch?" he asked Idris. "If a murder has occurred, then we'll get the broadcast anyway. We could probably keep searching all through the lunch period and drop by for something later." Miyako Hiroto"It's just I-" "Ding dong ding~" the bear's banshee voice rang down the corridors. Miyako's soul slowly died as the message went obnoxiously on and on. "Oh, great," she grumbled when he finally shut up. "More murder. What do you want to do, Shi?" She eyed her. "Cafeteria, I'm guessing?" She shook her head. "Honestly, I wouldn't blame you. I kind of want to drop down there myself. If only to yell at the idiot who got themself killed on day 2." [Read more] |

Miyako Hiroto"I have no idea what you just said, but it sounded romantic, so, I love you too." Miyako laughed. She wrapped an arm around Shi and rested her head on her shoulder. "Don't worry about it, darling. Darcy's fine. I doubt anything could kill him at this point." He survived Sawyer all these years. If he can take someone who brandishes a knife in a bathroom stall and threatens to make you into pasta, then he can survive a few loose floorboards. ...Probably. "Do you want to try out the second floor? See if there's any hot spots to take a date?" [Read more] |
