[ very emo of you akira.

Sche did not intend to run into anyone else, and honestly, she's a little freaked when she suddenly comes across someone else! She jumps back, her staff in front of her for defense-- but she relaxes just as quickly as she reacted. ]

I apologize for the intrusion, I did not think anyone else would be out here.

[ her daemon, in mongoose form, is more bold about walking up to akira's foot for a sniff. ]

[bloodread]

[ He stares at her blankly then just sighs. Her daemon may sniff away! His is in kangaroo form, and she peeks her head out from behind the fountain, apparently just taking an impromptu bath. ]

Yeah, that's exactly why I'm here. [ Looks at his daemon. ] One of them, anyway.

[naqqali]

Are you alright?

[ She remembers that she wanted to ask him about Revali's murder, but maybe that's why he's upset? And she doesn't want to make that. Worse. ]

[bloodread]

I've been worse. These murders are fucked up, but they're not fucked up if you get me.

[ He may have seen a lot of murders... ]

[naqqali]

[ she hates that he knows what he means! ]

Yes, although I wish that were not the case. [ she pauses for a moment before continuing. ]

You seemed rather upset about Revali. Is that something you can tell me more about? How you knew about those things at trial?

[bloodread]

I didn't like him at all, pretty sure he was the first person I punched here. But that didn't mean his death wasn't annoying.

[ A sigh, and he plops his right hand into the water of the fountain again, glove and all. ]

I can see the memories when blood was spilled, it's called bloodmetry. It's from the perspective of the victim, so I can only see what they saw.

[naqqali]

[ "annoying" is sure one way to put it. ]

Then that means you either didn't see his killer, or had some other reason for not disclosing this fact earlier, is that correct?

[bloodread]

[ He looks over at her, unblinking. ]

I didn't see. I only get flashes of what happened when the blood was spilled, not the entire picture. And they were running real fast.

...and there were fucking bubbles.

[naqqali]

[ the staring is a little unnerving. she grips her staff a little tighter. ]

When you say bubbles, do you really mean like the toy...?

[bloodread]

[ He breaks eye contact a bit after, and Nagako goes back to splashing in the fountain. ]

You mean like, bubble wands? The bubbles weren't that small.

[naqqali]

I see. That seems quite nonsensical in the midst of a murder...

[ Djinni hops up on the edge of the fountain to further Observe. ]

[bloodread]

The only way it makes sense if if it was some kind of ability or something. From a coin or just from someone else, period.

[ Nagako is just hopping around, either just being a kangaroo or getting some much needed energy out. Or both. ]

[naqqali]

Did you get your ability from a coin, or from something else?

[bloodread]

It's an ability I have back home, I traded for it back.

[naqqali]

I see. I assume you traded with the Watches for such an ability, yes?

[bloodread]

Yeah, why? Interested in something yourself?

[naqqali]

I am thinking about it. I do not want to bother the Watchers with inane questions if such a thing is not possible, however.

[bloodread]

They're pretty trade happy, I think.

[naqqali]

I see. That does make me feel a little bit better about asking.

And thank you, for speaking with me. I understand that today has been... difficult.

[bloodread]

[ He waves a hand. ]

It's just another weekend now that this game is going.
