[just. a pause.]

Maya, has anyone ever told you that you say some really concerning shit sometimes? [LIKE???]

...but yeah, maybe. I was wondering that myself.

[feytality]

Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to worry you.... but honestly, I can't see any other reason for all of us to fall unconscious like that...

[ ... ]

It seems like.... the killer was able to move around freely, too...

[goalsides]

I'm not worried. [he says, slightly worried. but he nods again.]

You think it was a person then? For sure?

[feytality]

[ it's probably fine ]

Yeah. [ it's always murder... ] Do you think it wasn't?

[goalsides]

Possibly. One of the dorm heads said there aren't monsters here, but there didn't used to be monsters on Earth either until they started slipping through. We still don't know enough about this place.

[feytality]

Monsters..... [ hmmm ] From your other world? Or something else?

[goalsides]

Monsters from the Digital World, yeah. It's happened a couple of times.

[feytality]

......

Can they get the local wildlife on their side?

[ maya ]

[goalsides]

What local wildlife? We live in Odaiba.

[that might not even be what she means but it's what he says anyway.]

[feytality]

I just mean in general! 'Cause the wildlife here was attacking.. I think.

[goalsides]

You...think. [a beat.] Did you terrorize the geese?

[feytality]

Umm.. no? They terrorize me! But I'm talking about Mr. Sieghart and Mr. Blaiddyd.

[goalsides]

Oh. [NOW HE GETS IT.] I hadn't thought about somebody using the geese to make sure nobody got in the way. Or to frame them for the murder. We still don't have any idea what they were doing out there do we?

[feytality]

Yeah... that's what I was thinking, too. Weirder things have happened than that.... and, well, you can get on the geese's bad side pretty easily.

[ shakes her head ]

Mr. Sieghart doesn't remember.

[goalsides]

Nobody's asked Dimitri? [he has to think about that. would anybody even have luck?] The geese seem pretty hostile, sure, but wouldn't that mean that whoever was responsible hadn't made them mad? Maybe that's something we can use.

[separate the geese allies and geese enemies.]

[feytality]

... I'm pretty sure he doesn't remember either. He was dodgy when I asked him, but.... I think it's safe to assume he doesn't remember, either.

[ maya is automatically a suspect ]

Well, I was thinking like.. some kind of goose trap? At least for Mr. Sieghart. They probably only needed to see Mr. Blaidydd to go after him.

[goalsides]

He's pretty dodgy when you ask him anything isn't he? [dimitri's just a feral roofdweller.]

That's possible, too. It's weird. What if it's not even connected to the death at all? I don't know why it wouldn't be, but I can't see how it ties in either.

[feytality]

Yeah, I think he's just naturally like that.

[ maya ponders this ]

No, it has to be connected. These things always are.

[goalsides]

How can you be so sure...?

[feytality]

Cause that's how it always is! Random, weird things seem unrelated but it always ties into some convoluted plan!

[goalsides]

Just how many convoluted plans have you unraveled?

[feytality]

Enough to be the expert.

[goalsides]

How are you an expert in all of these things?

[feytality]

I'm just that good, Taichi! Accept it.

[goalsides]

I refuse. But it does sound like there's a pretty big story behind all of it.
