I always have my team-swapping item. I could see if works on Jadericho.
[HE WON'T GET INFECTED, IT'S FINE. we can handwave what she's doing because I don't know much about medicine either]
[once he's seated he does pull off his shirt. which-- surprise! his torso is also covered in fresh bruises! nice. this is in addition to the gashes on his upper arms]
But it's one-use only, so I don't know if that's a real solution.
[i'm sorry she literally told him that he needed to strip but there's a kneejerk reaction where she looks away at first and blushes because some ojou tendencies do not stop
A WEAK, UNCONVINCING COUGH to cover up her stupidity before she actually goes to take care of his injuries with a frown... focus...]
... what did that house do to you...
[akira you are such a punching bag. handwaving medical treatment!!]
No.... I don't think that's it either - I'm not even sure why we have it if the whole point is to make one team?
[some ojou tendencies do not stop and listen, Akira's kind of scrawny, but he still has a great body because he works out, so. he. does notice that kneejerk reaction, and they're talking about something way too serious for him to follow up on it, but he does let out a mildly amused huff]
Nnnnot all of this is from the house.
[aha]
And it beats me. A red herring? Something to encourage people to play the game properly?
You could always see if your item would work on one of the directors? If we find more like it, then we should be able to switch the teams entirely, perhaps?
[
lili will tell akira later today after this pc that she
found two more items that do the same thing it's just one big plot mess]
It might be our best bet - we can keep it as a possibility as we continue to search. Tsurumaru said that the deceased might be able to send more than letters starting this week, so let's keep an eye out for that as well.
[mostly because she wanted to gauge his reaction first - because she knows that akira has been tired. she's been tired too. it's something that the two of them share together, like anything else.
so to hear that he's happy with it, and she could help bring it to him as soon as she could -
she breaks into a smile without even realizing it, bright and genuine. they're both beat up to hell and back, but her excitement radiates past any of that.]
[now that he's over the exhaustion of waking up with injuries, his smile is bright and unrestrained-- probably one of the rare ones like it he's worn since coming here]
Well-- I guess it means we have our work cut out for us, right?
I've already told Dimitri and Kara to start spreading the word - and I intend on going around and telling more people too. The more ears and eyes we have looking out for our answers, the more likely we're going to receive them.
We can communicate to the deceased later this week as well, and hopefully their letters will have more information for us, too.
It's going to be busy - but I think this'll finally give people the hope that they've been looking for.
[jesus. it's only Monday? he woke up without a leg??? he was bleeding all over the place???? it's only Monday and so much is happening already and he isn't delirious per se, but he is a bit out of it, so. . .]
[he lets out a breathless laugh, lifting a hand to rake blood-stained fingers through his hair. he can't believe her. honestly]
You're as. . . impressive as ever, Lili.
[and that's really all he's got. he doesn't have anything useful to share himself, and she's already hard at work putting her network to good use]
[does he even need to say anything. . .? she has it all under control. and that, he thinks, is admirable]
it takes every ounce of her self-control to not tighten his bandages too hard on accident when he says that, because - she's embarrassed? of course she's embarrassed. her face turns red and she huffs.]
I—
.... It's nothing...!
We just - have to be effective...!
[don't compliment her, she's still so stupid and has no idea what to do with it.]
she's embarrassed - terribly so. it's obvious in the way that her face turns red and she looks away. not that it helps, because she's definitely blushing all the way up to her ears. for fuck's sake, lili an.]
I don't... think... that's true...
[please stop acknowledging her, she can't take this]

. . . I guess we could. I could always try offering it to one of them.

[that said,,]
It's all good news though, isn't it?
[like
it's reason to be happy, right?]
no subject
Of course it's good news, Lili.
It's the best news we've heard in nearly six weeks.
[so thank you for sharing with me]
no subject
so to hear that he's happy with it, and she could help bring it to him as soon as she could -

Mm!
I thought so too!

We do, but we're only as effective as we are because you're working so hard.

[please stop acknowledging her, she can't take this]
no subject
It's definitely true. You're always the one trying to organize our information. To keep everyone informed so we're all on the same page.
No one else has been working as hard at doing that as you.
no subject

If we don't have information, we can't move forward - that's all it is!
