[at some point, taichi's walking across campus to head back to the spring dorm. he's more alert than usual, and so as he goes he spots someone a little familiar.]
If you mean the implication of murder? I don't think there's any other way to take this right now. I just don't know what we're supposed to do about it.
[WELL. WITH ALL THAT HULLABALOO... after things get a little more settled, taichi's out wandering campus making sure no other group is going to mysteriously pop out of nowhere. as it is though, in one of the quieter parts he does come across someone familiar which...]
[ By now I'm assuming Otome has handwavily done her thing because loltime, so Alphinaud is not the grime coated, utterly smelly mess he was earlier. Yay! He's in his issued school uniform now, his old clothes lost to cyoa hell forever, a proper amount of bandages on where necessary—which is a lot of places, but details.
Alphinaud just seems to be standing around somewhere across campus, where few people go, lost in thought? Just enjoying the scenery while the sun sets? Who knows! But then Taichi's voice ventures into the silence; Alphinaud looks up, surprised. ]
[alphinaud your clothes...and your grime...and your everything? at least he looks a little less worse for the wear but there's a nod of understanding as he approaches.]
You picked a good place for it. [...] Mind the company at all? I was just making sure things calmed down after earlier.
That doesn't surprise me to hear. [usually when people go through something strange, being alone isn't a great idea anyway.] You guys...kind of look like you had a pretty hard time.
[ Good morning, Taichi! It's a beautiful morning already, isn't it. Should he be out and about, well, Alphinaud isn't a difficult find; he's right outside the summer dorm, staring down at his phone. He looks like he's about ready to throw the thing. ]
[good morning to you too alphinaud!! isn't today great? (it is not great.) but as taichi's wandering from the direction of the woods, he looks up from his phone and notices alphinaud there.]
[the weeks go so fast :pensive: but yeah, this is probably post-lizard and taichi's letting the dorm shuffle caiman, futaba and yamato off while he makes sure they checked as best as they could. so he lifts a hand! his good one. he's not moving his left arm more than he has to.]
How fare you? ... I presume, much better than last night, but I had not wanted to further overwhelm you during what is already a... erm, lively moment.
[sometime after the party games have wound down and people are breaking off into small groups to stargaze, snooze, or head home, taichi's wandering around checking on people and possibly venturing off to get another snack. as such, he runs into alphinaud and waves briefly.]
[ Taichi will come across Alphinaud kneeling next to... this thing? He's trying to put one of the headbands provided from Maya on its head, with only some success. Part way through this endeavor, Alphinaud looks up. ]
Good evening! 'Twas a rather lively night, if I say so myself!

I could use for the company, I think. 'Twould be preferable over allowing my thoughts to wander.

Coming back from his own investigation, Alphinaud will conveniently come across a certain somebody along the way! ]
—Oh, Taichi! I had hoped to come upon you sooner rather than later.

I've been better. It's...kinda felt like things really aren't gonna give us a break anytime soon.

Though it may not feel like it now... we are on track. We will end this, sooner or later.

More like an old one, but I was just recently able to get it back.
