[ souji looks at the red smoke and skull and he just nods as if that's a fucking normal thing and he's okay with still eating it. the fox has actually already stolen souji's wallet during the event last month so maybe this is her chance to steal souji's new wallet again. and akira's and elliot's while they bury him. and then yusuke's because who cares about yusuke ]

You say that as if it's a bad thing, which it's not. Isn't that right, Elliot?

[ be on his side, kid. he pays your allowance ]

[fiddlestick]

[Because Souji requested it. That's why.

He finishes marinading the steak with the coffee (which take a bit since the coffee is so thick). Then he transfers the meat to the plate. The sound it makes when it drops onto the plate sounds more like he just dropped a rock onto the plate than a steak. The whole dish glows purple, with that red skull floating above it.

Again, this is probably a terrible idea.]

Well, it's... I don't think I'd choose that lifestyle, but more power to you if you do?

[HE'S STAYING NEUTRAL. ]

[maskreant]

[ Good thing Akira can heal/cure Souji if it comes down to it, but he squints at the plate and holds his cat closer. Morrigan's ears pin back at the sight of the plate, obviously haven't cotton to it despite living here for a while now.

No time to pick at Souji's hoarding problem. It's time. ]

I hope you enjoy your meal and keep all your teeth.

[ FINGERS. CROSSED. ]

[tarotcards]

[ souji is so ready to eat. he's absolutely starving so when the plate is brought over and set in front of him, he doesn't look afraid. in fact, he looks ready. he claps his hands together ]

いただきます。

[ he takes the fork and knife and starts cutting a piece of the steak. it probably takes him like a full minute or two to cut it because of how hard it is but he does it and the absolute madman puts the piece in his mouth to eat. it's another long minute as he just chews and chews and chews but then he swallows and... ]

... it tastes pretty good.

[ give him a few seconds before he dies ]

[fiddlestick]

[That knife is definitely going to need sharpening after all this. Elliot just watches, with worry and fear on his face, but that's a normal expression when Souji eats. He can tell that meal is bad. Even if he made it, he can recognize it's awful. ]

D-Does it...?

[maskreant]

[ Akira's only quiet as he watches Souji... But then his attention turns to Elliot.

#YIKES is scribbled all over his face. ]

1/3

[tarotcards]

[ souji nods as he begins to cut himself another piece ]

Yeah, it's got this tex--

[tarotcards]

[ souji suddenly freezes and he drops his knife and fork. he stays frozen for a full second as he stares off into the distance and then he... ]

--blurghf!

[tarotcards]

[ ... falls off his seat and falls to the floor, dead. ]

[ congrats, guys. you killed him ]

[fiddlestick]

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

SOUJI NO!!!

[THE NIGHTMARES WERE REAL]

1/2

[maskreant]

[ Pfft... He busts out laughing at this display, thinking it's all just a joke? Yu acts, so maybe Souji does, too? ]

Good riddance.

[maskreant]

[ He holds his cat who is looking at the corpse suspiciously—a minute passes, now two. Three. Four. ]

... He isn't moving.

[fiddlestick]

I-I don't think this is a joke! He's never done this!

[He starts pulling some at his own hair. OH GOD HE MURDERED A MAN. IN HIS OWN KITCHEN.]

What should we do??

[fabrefactions]

[ Hey guys what's happenin--oh.

Oh. ]

...

...

...

... If you need help moving the body we should work quickly before rigor mortis sets in.

[maskreant]

[ GUYS. Guys... While you all just panic, Akira is gong to check Souji's pulse real quick and maybe rest Morrigan on his dead body.

Of course Morrigan doesn't like it. The dude reeks of gross coffee and burnt steak. ]

[tarotcards]

[ idk what to say here. souji's pulse is weak? it's hard to tell? whatever, you guys do whatever you want. regardless, souji isn't going to wake up anytime soon ]

[fiddlestick]

[Sounds good, Elliot doesn't have the ability to revived KOed people right now anyway.

Elliot meanwhile is in full panicked despair mode.]

Rigor Mortis-

[HE KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANS. He makes a long whimpering sound]

I-I I can't believe I killed him....I should've said no.

[fabrefactions]

It'll be difficult to move the body if it's not pliable. It'll stiffen up quicker than you think.

[ They warned you about your coffee, Elliot. ]

[maskreant]

[ GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

... He's still alive, but barely.

[ Let's start with a slap to the face. If he doesn't wake up, Akira will consider healing him. ]

[tarotcards]

[ akira kurusu has been waiting for this moment: to slap souji. he is the true mastermind behind all this ]

[ anyway, the slap doesn't work. souji still lies on the floor like a dead lump of flesh ]

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot doesn't even think to question why Yusuke knows this, he grew up around cops man. Doesn't everyone know that stuff??

But he's caught from his panic when Akira speaks up]

-- He is?? Oh thank god- should we call 911?

[ELLIOT YOU'RE A HEALER]

[fabrefactions]

[ Elliot, you're a healer.

He pauses, and then vanishes over to the sink. Give him a moment what if he...



He comes back with a glass of water. And dumps it over Souji's face. Bless. ]

[maskreant]

[ ???????? Akira's eyes widen, but that isn't a bad idea to try.

Since Elliot hasn't tried yet, he'll cast Salvation on the almost dead Souji to see if it does anything. Time to check his pulse again. ]

[fiddlestick]

[He makes a "huh?!" sound when Yusuke splashes him with water, and Akira casts his salvation spell]

O-Oh, right! Healing!

[THATS A THING. So to help out, he'll cast his own healing spell.

Which basically means more water being thrown at Souji- but it's GLOWING water this time. Poor guy is gonna look like he had a visit to a waterpark ]

[tarotcards]

[ WHY DO YOU GUYS TREAT A DEAD BODY LIKE THIS have some respect for them goddamn ]

[ anyway, the water still doesn't get a reaction from souji and look, unless you guys got a reviving skill like recarm or samarecarm, souji is going to continue lie down completely ko'ed and dead ]

[ and very wet ]
