[ immediately after their ousting from the library and ichiban's intrusive vacation thoughts, he just kind of... slumps back down, coming to a rest against throné's shoulder once more. "what about the other fifty people who were also with them during curfew" this ain't about them. ]
... I know it's a little fucked, but after hearing the news, I'm kinda just thinking "thank god you're okay."
[ he's touched when she reciprocates the feeling, but... also... he can't help but cringe. ]
Hey, if I go off on some completely deranged tangent tomorrow, can you promise me you'll knock me out? Margaret and Jingu-san do not deserve the bullshit I've brought on the last couple weeks...
Well. I don't know how smart Sora was, but you're right about Margaret. [ok wow rude throné] ... We'll figure it out. I don't think any of the effort we spend during these trials is strictly based on luck.
[ HELP. all brains are big compared to ichiban's... ]
... When you think about it, it's kind of weird we're able to figure stuff out in the first place, isn't it? Almost like the killer wants to get caught. [ ... ] Or maybe I'm just being a little too optimistic, thinking that there's gotta be some kind of logical explanation for everything.
[ he just sighs as he drags a hand down his face and leans against her again. ]
Never thought I'd say it, but I think I actually kind of miss when I could solve most of my problems by punching the right guys until I got to the bottom of things.
[she shifts to allow him to do this, and absently brings a hand up to run through his hair once or twice. it's a little gesture she's picked up after a few weeks of being here.]
... Hm. I don't miss solving my problems with a knife, but I do agree that it would be easier. [ok] I'll be relying on you tomorrow, Ichiban. We may need the punch. You never know.
Ah, no, it's fine with kids! [ THAT MAKES IT SOUND WORSE ] But, like, between two adults, that's kind of... well, you only really do it if you're... i-involved.
[ AAAAAAA ]
But that could also just be me being close-minded? Because if it's normal for you to do with someone you're close with... well, who am I to tell you to stop?
... If it makes you uncomfortable, I won't. I wasn't thinking very hard about it. [he just leaned on her and it was instinctive because she's touch-starved]

she - laughs, a little. it's kind of exhausted, but it's a laugh.]
... No, I understand. [she pats his arm.] I would've been upset to wake up to you gone.

I'm not exactly sure how you expect me to knock you out. [she says like this isn't literally her path action in game]
no subject
[ UNO REVERSE CARD ]
no subject
Fair enough. You'll never see me coming.
no subject
Heh, I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't believe in you.
[ he just SAYS THESE THINGS ]
no subject
... Yes, well. Let's avoid the tangents to begin with.
no subject
Y-yeah. We're down two big brains, too—even I know last week was a million-to-one shot that we somehow just... stumbled into.

[a slow sigh.]
But we can't always count on that.

in case you forgot
ichiban is literally a 46 year old virgin
so once he feels throné's gentle fingers in his hair, he turns so fuckin red and startles, just short of scrambling away from her. ]
N-Necchan?!
no subject
she blinks at him like ??? as she pulls her hands away from him hurriedly?]
... What? [she's absolutely like did i do something wrong...]
no subject
no subject
[she absolutely would not know because you have seen her backstory]
... I suppose I should stop doing it to Shoma, then.

Like I said, it's fine now that I get where you're coming from. And...it means a lot, actually, that you're that chill with me. Heheh.
no subject
[she says it like she's not familiar with the slang but she's trying]
no subject
[ it... is fine now. he's relaxed again, if she does want to try again. ]
It's kind of an extra special privilege too. I'm actually pretty sensitive about my hair.
