week two, friday

[digestif]

[ It's not until much later in the day that Mizuki approaches Majima; they weren't interested in bothering him while he was still in mourning, especially considering how combative their relationship tends to be. But they do seek him out eventually, once they're both back in the house they've been sharing. ]

Are you coping all right, Majima-kun?

[ they've brought two bottles of beer with them, with the intention fairly obvious. They're kinda fruity beers, though. ]]

[ yeah, living with Majima has convinced Mizuki more than ever that he's not all that scary, despite appearances - provided you don't get on his bad side. But considering he's a surprisingly good guy, that's been easy to do. ]

Chuuya-san was originally with Disorder - but you probably heard him talking about how much he hated his god and wanted to change, right? Well, apparently he made Disorder really angry. Not only that, but the one he defected to was Sincerity, who Disorder hates.

[ they look over to Majima. ]

Obviously, I don't have any kind of serious proof... but it's a good lead, I think. I wanted to ask if you knew anyone who's with Disorder.

[haw]

Damn. All I'm learnin' so far is "don't fuckin' defect to Sincerity-han unless ya got a death wish." Makes me feel kinda bad for 'em; they ain't bad.

[ his facial expression shows that it's a genuine display of sympathy. ]

I got nothin'. [ ... he pauses before continuing, hesitantly, ] All I can tell ya about Disorder-han is that they were one of the three that reached out to me before we got started. If your theories are right, I'm real fuckin' glad I didn't choose 'em.

Well, it was worth a shot. If it's anything like last week, we'll be all right as long as we know the god.

[ as for Majima's confession, they don't seem terribly surprised; they quirk a smile at him. ]

I don't think you would have lasted long with them. On top of all that, I heard they're also one of the gods that made this competition into a killing game... Not your type of person, I think. [ a beat. ] I haven't actually met them, so take all this with a grain of salt.

[haw]

I mean, with a name like "Disorder," I'd have it on pretty good authority they're the type to start that kinda shit. Even without the extra bit of insight ya had on Nakahara-han, can ya fault anybody for instinctively bein' suspicious of 'em?

[ beat ]

I assume we're not just openin' up tomorrow with "hey assholes, let's not waste nine hours, vote Disorder if ya know what's good," though.

[digestif]

[ a shake of the head. ]

No, of course not... They might not even have Disorder up as a suspect, for all I know. I just thought it was something to keep in mind. [ a beat. ] And with that, you have all my insight onto what happened. Let's hope it comes in handy.

[ it won't ]
