[well mineo is stuck in this ariana grande outfit and probably has very cute axolotl antenna on his headband - but more than that, he's. well. he's not responding to this sudden change in scenery very well! so i do apologize to luca, who is probably the closest person to mineo when they stumble out of the elevator.

because when he's bumped into, he immediately reaches out like he's being attacked, and on instinct moves to twist luca's arm behind his back as he snarls with the ferocity of someone who definitely isn't watching his own strength]

Watch it!!

[see maple it's nothing too bad]

[notaccurate]

[How horrible.

Luca is a twink and has no strength and is easily caught. All he wanted to do was escape to find something better to wear and now he's being grabbed.]

Watch it- You're the one who ran into me! Let go!

[He is absolutely struggling, but again. Twink.]

[sengokus]

[this situation is so stupid but mineo doesn't even entirely realize what they're wearing. he should. it'd be easier.

but instead:]

Who are you, and where is this?!

[please be gentler with the twink mineo he's just as confused as you]

Week 0, Monday

[notaccurate]

[Luca is now dressed in his normal outfit, which he will be seen in 90% of the time from now on.

He has also raided the planetarium and is busy messing with the star charts, looking on in wonder as he pulls up page after page of information. Astronomy isn't his field of study, but he has an appreciation for learning new things, and he's absorbing all of this like a sponge. He's so engrossed that he doesn't even look up when someone else enters the room. He's just excitedly indicating to the chart he's currently looking at.]

Have you seen this? Somehow they managed to calculate this much information, all from observations at a distance!

[sengokus]

[ . . . . cute.

mineo is - wandering? he's just wandering. and he actually was in the planetarium earlier, but he got hungry, so now he's coming back with a snack. but he grins at the excitement. he gets it, he totally has his nerd spots too.]

Mm! It's crazy! I have no idea how they do it - it's all just math and observations and science. Waaaay over my head, but it's pretty wild to get closer to understanding the universe and all that!

[notaccurate]

Indeed! It's much farther than the understanding in my world. We have some calculations into space- we have a rough estimate on how far away the sun and the other planets in the solar system are, for example- but this is far beyond any of that.

[Nerd Nerd NERD]

It's far more complicated than anything I do, but I can appreciate those who can memorize those complicated formulas. I have to account for gravity in some of my work, and even something as simple as that can be difficult.

week 0, friday

[sengokus]

[well that's fucking shitty.

even a public outburst isn't enough to make mineo feel better, based on how he has so much angry energy to burn. he's making his way through the base almost methodically, checking every single room, all the doorways, like he's losing for -

what?

a corpse just left to rot?

though as he enters the room luca's in, whichever one it is, he pauses and then]

... texts apparently don't work when we need them most, Luca-san. Make sure you're somewhere safe if you're not already with me in the evenings.

[so much for "text me if you need anything". but he just shakes his head at his own naivete before moving like he's about to check out the rest of the room, having said his piece]

[notaccurate]

["Make sure you're somewhere safe", he says. While Luca has a bite mark on his neck (partially hidden by his collar).

Also he's in the kitchen making some coffee. Hopefully the kitchen isn't a crime scene. ]

Ah...duly noted, thank you. Though if you do worry, we could spend an evening or two together.

[He actually does not mean that in a horny way this time. It's hard to be horny when someone died.]

I had wondered why Sheila didn't respond to my texts last night, when I realized she was locked out of our room.

[sengokus]

[hopefully the kitchen isn't a crime scene! but mineo will start looking through it anyway, even though he's not sure what he'll find through the mess since everyone's still

touching everything.]

Mine to Endorsi-san didn't get through either. Grace-san couldn't make it back to her room either - I was stuck with Takeru.

Was it just you?

Week 0, post-trial

[notaccurate]

[Well. After being told they were incorrect, Luca can guess Mineo is going to be in a mood. Time to go check on him.

Luca will wander the area until he tracks down Mineo. Let's say they meet up in the hall by the sleep bay.]

Hey.

[He's cautious with his greeting, waiting to see what kind of mood Mineo is in before continuing on.]

[sengokus]

[ . . . he's definitely in a mood, looking like it's hard to shake. he's thoughtful, guarded, and way too serious in his expression.

he looks up when luca addresses him, and nods.]

Hey.

[a beat, before he seems to come to a realization]

You want me to walk you somewhere, Valentino-san?

[since there's apparently still a murderer wandering around]

[notaccurate]

You did say to call on you whenever.

[He just. Didn't use his phone.]

Company would be nice right now too.

Week 0, post-execution

[notaccurate]

[Well that was horrifying.

Time to go track Mineo down and bug him. When he does find Mineo, he's going to look more tired than he usually does.]

Are you amendable to letting me take you up on your offer tonight?

[He's not even looking to bang, he just wants to sleep somewhere that feels even slightly safe.]

[sengokus]

[oh - he pauses at that, thinking about it for a second before nodding.]

Yeah. Get permission from Sheila-san for me to crash on a couch and I'll head over, yeah?

I gotta just tell Endorsi-san where I'm going.

week 1, wednesday

[sengokus]

[mineo is in the rec room

and he looks like he's being vewy vewy cagey, trying to make sure that no one is around. but luca is probably walk in just after he's done looking left, looking right.... turning on the tv and

turning on a romantic comedy. oh.

but when he hears footsteps approaching he's gonna jUMP OUT OF HIS SKIN AND TRY TO COVER THE TV]

I wasn't watching anything!!!

[fucking

stupid]

[notaccurate]

...I can still hear it, you know.

[MINEO. YOU LIKE ROMCOMS???]

Week 1, post-trial

[notaccurate]

[Time to track down Mineo and tease him to forget troubling things.]

That's two weeks in a row we've managed to circle around to your dating life. I think this might become a trend.

[sengokus]

[he's honestly spacing the fuck out. somewhere. anywhere. he made it back to the kitchen i guess even if he just has an unopened bottle of water in his hands

and he looks up when he hears luca and.... manages a soft, saddened smile]

.... stupid stuff to pass the time before we get evidence, I guess.

week 1, monday

[sengokus]

[i'm going to be honest mineo is going to try very hard not to see anybody today. this backfires of course as he goes to a random room and ends up accidentally making eye contact with luca anyway - ]

Oh.

[sengokus]

[ “Actually, I talked to Detective Satake and Yanagi about you.”

A girl stands in front of you, and she tries. She tries so hard to get through to you. (STOP at 4:09).

But it’s useless.

There’s a feeling of guilt that you can’t shake - and the aching, crushing disappointment. Not in her, but in yourself. The realization that she’s seen you for who you really are. She’s heard all of the useless, terrible details of your series of mistakes from the people who know you best. The ones who can chronicle your rise and your meteoric fall still in progress.

I said a lot of proud things to you. Sorry. In the end, this is who I really am.

Spineless. Cowardly. Terrified.

Useless. Trash.

Just like Takeru says - good for nothing at all.

The memory ends with the close of a door. ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . and if not stopped, Mineo will pause at the realization of what was just shared and -

tries to walk away now, too.]

Week 2, Wednesday

[notaccurate]

[If Mineo happens to walk by the kitchen, he's going to hear the sound of sobbing coming from inside it. Because Luca is sitting on the floor and crying. Like, absolutely bawling.

Why is he crying? Well, He's holding something in his hands. Investigate?]

[sengokus]

[ - WHA

WELL GUESS WHO'S ABSOLUTELY KNEESLIDING TO BE NEXT TO LUCA RIGHT NOW IMMEDIATELY, PUTTING CONCERNED HANDS ON HIS SHOULDERS]

Luca-san! Are you okay?! What happened?!

week 7, thursday evening

[sengokus]

[PHEW WELL

WHEREVER LUCA IS - it'll take a while but mineo will go to look for him!]

Luca-san...! Do you have time now...?

[notaccurate]

[Luca is now wearing new clothes because he immediately raided the infinity closet (with the help of Yuri). So he's got a new, nice suit on! It's a teal-grey color and looks a bit more modern than what he usually wears.

He's also in much higher spirits now that he's dressed better too.]

Hmm? Of course. You wanted to talk, yes?
