Itsuki looks a little annoyed at this, perhaps because he doesn't like the idea of Crow being on an arena having to fight to the death??? even if he would win???? there's physical injury, and there's trauma???]
...Sure, but it wasn't like you were completely prepared at the hot springs. If someone wanted to get at you while we were all asleep, then they could have injured you pretty badly.
[...yeah he doesn't think crow would have died but like, still]
I don't know if the places Ryu-kun and the others went to and his -- death are related.
I had my knife with me. Thing's pretty easy to slip into your pocket or a sleeve or something. And if you can get it out without someone knowing, then you've got a little defensive weapon to hand whenever you need it.
[ pro tips itsuki. ]
I can defend myself well enough without a weapon. But if I've got one, I'll do better. [ ah. ] Well... I had a look around the carnival, actually. There were these watery footprints there, but we couldn't make out any detail on them. When we were there though, it felt like our shoes and socks were full of water.
[itsuki like 'YOU HAD A KNIFE? binch where you weren't packing (weapons) in the bath
maybe it was with his clothes... it would be stupid to bring a lisa frank knife in the water, maybe]
-- You saw something? [he's surprised] Bu-kun and I looked around after we woke up, but... [did they really miss that?
is it another thing with this place? maybe things like this can be shown to only a few people at the time, so they have to spend most of the trial figuring it out? geez. but he's grateful that he's learning something new now]
...You're not saying someone -- [he stops himself, thinks] If their feet were wet, then that wouldn't have happened at the medbay.
[ yeah it was under his towel. brings a new meaning to "is that a knife in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me".
no it was in his clothes. ]
Not at the springs, but when I walked around the carnival.
[ ... he sighs. ] Yeah. I'm wondering that too. And, well, if it was water-- [ he doesn't like the idea of this at all. ] Did something happen here in the springs and we were just... totally unaware of any of it?
...It'd make sense, right? Te-kun said that they and the others had no idea Ryu-kun was being attacked, even though they were right there with him. Who knows if someone wasn't asleep like the rest of us?
[...]
Still, the spring isn't the only place with water. Maybe it was someone from the apartments.
[maybe they just stood in a bathtub and then walked around]
He was in the medbay. Te-kun said he was in bed before they went to sleep, so he must have moved sometime in the night to the pod. Or whoever attacked him put him there.
[Itsuki pauses,]
...Yeah. I can't see anyone getting caught there late at night. [he rubs his head] And even if they sleeping at the hall, they'd just cross the bridge to get out, right?
[ phew, crow was having a "why was he out of the medbay" moment ]
Why, though. If he was in the medbay and died in the medbay, why chase him around just to bring him back and put him in the pod where he could be healed? Twisted sense of humour? Or did Ryunosuke try to get himself in there and that's where his killer finished him off?
[ uggh.
also me immediately thinking of that AA case with the temples and the bridge and someone swinging across it by a rope ]
Yeah. That'd be the more logical thing to expect, unless they were pushed off but again -- huge fall. And we don't know where the river goes.
[ STOP BEING OUT OF THE MEDBAY. GO BACK IN. BAD LAWYER. ]
But we couldn't even get out of the hot springs if we'd wanted to. Does that mean he could leave the medbay, for whatever reason?
[ our poor sweet lawyer chan ]
-- Ah. [ how long is he swaggering for.... itsuki.... ] We could? But Vanille said his body vanished before Jiuqing could look at it, so be prepared that the Prism might be covering tracks.
[itsuki wouldn't know shit about currents or rocks but like right now he's reasonably confident that he'd be able to determine the speed of this river using his non school education, hate this.
can't stop him if he tries to do it on his own taps head]
Not on their own, or in a group of two when we're cut off from the residents they don't. I don't care if you think you're god, Itsuki, if you think we need to look into it, hold off until we know more about what happened.
When we've found the body, wherever it went, and can actually see whether or not that river was involved.

Finding him in the pod isn't so strange, he knows what they do. But if he was so badly injured the pod couldn't help him...
[ hmm. ]
There's a river by the meeting hall too, but that's a hell of a long way down.

...Maybe he went outside? To look around? And then whoever saw him spotted him, and then the fight happened... And then they killed Ryu-kun...?
[ugh is the vibe... also stop who here is tarzan enough to do that]
...Feels like a pretty important thing to check out. [hm] Maybe we should go look.

[which bodes illl, what does an alibi matter if they were all PASSED OUT,
he blinks, also im sorry but he's cursed until monday]
Oh no, I meant the river. I could just jump in and see where it goes.
no subject
...
No. Let's not.

I'm a pretty good swimmer. It wouldn't take much, and if I don't fight it then I should be fine.
[he'll just float along, this is a great idea]
no subject
Right, but we don't know how fast the current is, where you'll end up, or if there's a whole bunch of rocks down there that'll shred you up.
[ he points at itsuki's face. ]
No swimming.

If it's relevant, I'll spot for you when we go and look. Promise.
