Less angry than last week, then.

[ ... Well. He goes quiet after because he obviously did get into a fight, so. ]

[bloodread]

[ Well at least he's not denying it, so maybe they'll come back to that later. Akira just..shrugs a bit. ]

I kinda expected that from him. And he wasn't the one who killed Ulrika.

[malewife]

[ Joonghyuk tends to never confirm or deny anything, to be honest. ]

Were you two close?

[bloodread]

[ Akira makes a face at this. ]

She kinda reminded me of someone back home.

[malewife]

[ Projection is also acceptable. He isn't going to push more than that. ]

I am still curious about the blood found under her nails.

[bloodread]

[ Akira is grateful. ]

I don't think an injury check is gonna really show up with much at this point. People know we always do them, and not everyone is gonna be like Bertolt. Plus there's coins and powers floating out there too.

[malewife]

[ sometimes you are just people who project and/or don't want to talk about relations ]

The Watchers were also available on Friday, so the culprit could have healed themselves if they made an exchange. Not completely, but somewhat. Their wounds would still need to be there at the check.

[ Hm. ]

We would need to ask what kind of powers could be given, if they can tamper with evidence. I once asked for my coat's ability back to store anything inside it, then was told it would be too "unfair."

[bloodread]

...huh. I guess that's technically still fair, yeah.

[ Frowning. ]

They wouldn't let you just have it store a few things? My powers supposed to be unlimited, but I can only use it twice a week here.

[malewife]

It's supposed to make this game balanced.

[ He guesses. ]

No. Maybe they're worried I would hide a whole corpse in my coat.

[bloodread]

...you could seriously do that?

[malewife]

Ever heard of the concept of hammerspace.

[ His coat does that. Or did that. ]

[bloodread]

Like in video games?

[malewife]

[ A nod. ]

[bloodread]

That's kinda cool. They're not my thing, but I've watched Amanome play them on his phone whenever he's bored enough.

[malewife]

It's convenient. Keeping a bag around all the time is annoying.

[ Sighs. ]

But I supposed I'll take having to bring around a bag over bodies dropping every minute.

[bloodread]

Every week really is an upgraded, huh.

[malewife]

From one to three bodies?

It seems like someone wanted to take a chance, with or without an Angel's offer.

[bloodread]

Well yeah, but for you too. A few bodies a week doesn't compare to every minute.

[ A beat. ]

...you think they all wanted to do that?

[malewife]

At least I didn't need to try solving those deaths.

[ Eh. Hm. He tries to turn over the question a bit. ]

Would you accept if it means granting a wish?

[bloodread]

I don't want anything. But I could see other people going for it, yeah. I've never really believed in that stuff, but I've seen kids get killed just to test out an urban legend.

[malewife]

If you don't want anything, it'll fall to threats. If you kill, you can save and protect your world and those you love.

Which means: if you don't kill, your world and everyone you love will be endangered.
