[Too many questions, Phoenix. Akechi just gives him a look.]
Why would I know the method behind my resuscitation? Even the sisters are unaware of how such a thing is possible. [And it's... a lot. He huffs out a laugh, devoid of all humor.] Perhaps a god or a demon decided there was one more job I had to complete before I was allowed to die once and for all.
[His dirt nap got interrupted. Super rude.
There's a bit of a pause here.]
... As for the rest, ask Akira if you truly wish to know. Explaining it won't change anything. All that's left for us is to pretend to get along every Tuesday until we complete our mission.
[He sure is asking him! And Akechi sure will disregard that, anyway.
He does shoot him a look, though, mildly offended.]
I'm dead. No matter what happens to me, I will go back to being dead once this is all over. Would I really devote so much time and effort if I didn't care?
[Crossing his arms...? It might look like he's digging his fingers in a little bit more than absolutely necessary, but that's fine. Before Phoenix can even respond to that, however, he continues.]
... We already tried things your way. It did not yield results. Luna won't be able to tell us anything until her orders are removed. So, I am going to speak to Peach-san tomorrow. Once I have confirmation that it's been done, I'll come find you so we may have a proper meeting.
[ he responds regardless, giving akechi a long look. it's a very few uncomfortable seconds, probably. ]
[ but then it's back to business, of course. ]
You're assuming the orders come from the girls or Master Blue. That may not be the case. [ he's planning on speaking to peach himself.... but nods ] But that's fine. Now we know what she was planning, and she won't be affected by curfew tomorrow.

I'm asking you.
[ it will change his opinions and make him more informed!! but he's got a more important question. ]
Are you really interested in saving the people here? Stopping the murders? Stopping the monsters?
no subject
He does shoot him a look, though, mildly offended.]
I'm dead. No matter what happens to me, I will go back to being dead once this is all over. Would I really devote so much time and effort if I didn't care?
no subject
[ that he'll go back to being deda. maybe phoenix played royal. ]
It'd be quite the waste of effort, I agree. [ but he just wanted confirmation. ]
Basically, we want the same thing. There's no need for pretending.
no subject
[looks away from royal. no commentary.
Dubious as fuck, though:]
... Despite knowing I'm a murderer? I'll admit it, you put on a good show. But there's no way you can be so accepting of that.
no subject
Oh, I'm sure there are murderers a plenty here. Hell, isn't the plan for me to become one when we finally catch one of these "monsters"?
[ not to mention the voting. ]
Knowing only a fraction of your history... especially with that so-called father of yours, I can't pass judgment on you. So who's to say?
I will say one thing, though, Goro. You didn't deserve to go out like that.
no subject
You're right. You don't know anything.
[Crossing his arms...? It might look like he's digging his fingers in a little bit more than absolutely necessary, but that's fine. Before Phoenix can even respond to that, however, he continues.]

no subject
He doesn't want to talk about this anymore.
Moving on.]
I'm not assuming anything. The orders that prevent her from divulging her job came directly from Peach-san.
no subject
Oh? How'd you come by this information?
no subject
You think I spent my time solely avoiding you? I found Luna and spoke to her after Agatsuma-san's injury was taken care of.
no subject
Yes, actually. It takes a lot of effort to avoid me.
[ ha ha so funny. ]
Hm... well, I suppose we'll find out for sure tomorrow.
no subject
[Ha ha! Hilarious.
Will Phoenix add anything else? Because Akechi will not. Bad.]
no subject
[ that's what he has to add ]
no subject
What?
no subject
[ patiently. ]
no subject
[That's not why he's baffled! Except now he's maybe paranoid that the pudding is poisoned, or something, judging by how wary he seems.]
Why do you ask?
no subject
I was going to give you another one if you finished it.
Or a spare?
no subject
[He doesn't need your pity pudding!!!]
no subject
[ eat your pudding, apollo ]
no subject
[no!!!]
no subject
[ him, missing the point? noooo. ]
