We are giving you a choice out of respect for your privacy. But if you wish to discuss your job where the others are free to eavesdrop, then it's all the same to us.
... Our timing is off.... but we don't know what's going to happen at trial tomorrow.
[ so. anyway, he addresses luna now.]
Luna, why do you think we're coming here to talk to you in private like this? If we wanted to use information for our own gain, we wouldn't be looping you in.
The monster, of course. The one who killed Subete.
[Her hand tightens on the doorknob. But between the two of them, either her pride has been kicked hard or there's enough of a flash of logic to earn a hefty pause.]
...
Fine. Come in.
[She'll stiffly open the door and gesture for them to hurry up, not making eye contact with them.
[Hm. He still has his doubts about having any sort of conversation while she's like this, and it shows on his face... But ultimately? He nods, a perfectly polite smile on his face.]
Thank you, Luna.
[Inside they go... As long as she doesn't suddenly change her mind, anyway.]
[He watches her take a seat, but. He won't sit down himself since he wasn't invited to. :') Enjoy his dumb height.]
It's as I said. We wish to discuss your job... and, depending on what it entails, a potential collaboration between the three of us. If your words are sincere, then we are all individuals who share a common goal.
no subject
The door opens, but just a little bit, as though to try not to let them in. Luna looks Akechi over once, then Phoenix.]
...What is it?
no subject
[Naturally, he's all smiles right now. His tone is perfectly polite as he gestures at the room behind her.]
May we come in? The hallway is hardly suited for such a conversation.
no subject
[ giving her a little wave though. ]
[ let them innnn ]
no subject
[She's lost most of the softness from her tone.]
I'd appreciate if one of you would state your intentions clearly, please.
no subject
He tilts his head at her.
And then, placidly:]
We are giving you a choice out of respect for your privacy. But if you wish to discuss your job where the others are free to eavesdrop, then it's all the same to us.
no subject
[ but hey at least it's clear. ]
....
This is a pretty sensitive topic. It's something best kept between the three of us, for the moment.
no subject
Should I consider this an interrogation?
[Coldly, her frown thin. No. No, it could be either of them. Why would they want to bother to talk to her?]
no subject
[... Though, something seems off. And he stares at her for a moment longer.]
But, before we get to the heart of the matter... Where did you sleep last night, Luna?
no subject
Consider it a conversation between three people who have the same goals.
[ presumably. ]
[ he was about to ask the same question as akechi so he just waits for the answer ]
no subject
It could be either one of you, couldn't it? Or... or both. How do I know you won't use any information for whatever you please outside of the trial?
...
[She swallows, he eyes flickering to the side.]
I'm sorry. I can't trust either of you.
no subject
A sigh, and a quick glance to Phoenix.]
Perhaps having this conversation on Friday was ill advised.
[Hm.]
Luna, you're not acting like yourself. Whatever location you slept in has clearly left you indisposed for the time being.
no subject
... Our timing is off.... but we don't know what's going to happen at trial tomorrow.
[ so. anyway, he addresses luna now.]
Luna, why do you think we're coming here to talk to you in private like this? If we wanted to use information for our own gain, we wouldn't be looping you in.
And what could be 'either of us'?
no subject
[Her hand tightens on the doorknob. But between the two of them, either her pride has been kicked hard or there's enough of a flash of logic to earn a hefty pause.]
...
Fine. Come in.
[She'll stiffly open the door and gesture for them to hurry up, not making eye contact with them.
no subject
Thank you, Luna.
[Inside they go... As long as she doesn't suddenly change her mind, anyway.]
no subject
Maybe. But if that's the case, we'd likely be caught and voted out tomorrow.
[ thanks, phoenix. ]
Frankly, though? We're more interested in stopping the monsters. I assume you feel the same way.
no subject
[Hori's stuff is all over the bed, don't mind that. Luna will walk over to the chaise and lower herself to a seat, her expression guarded.]
What is it you wanted to talk about?
no subject
It's as I said. We wish to discuss your job... and, depending on what it entails, a potential collaboration between the three of us. If your words are sincere, then we are all individuals who share a common goal.
no subject
I thought so, Luna. That's why we wanted to approach you.
[ he's trying to be nice here. ]
... By the way, anything you tell us will stay with us. We'd appreciate the same courtesy.
no subject
[She doesn't have much confidence in what Phoenix just said and it's written all over her face.]
What is it about my job you needed to know...?
no subject
Well... If we are all in agreement, then let us begin with the most basic question. What, exactly, does your job entail?
no subject
What he said.
no subject
...]
I work on a lunar surface research facility. I'm the sole medical resource. What I do depends on what is needed for the situation at hand.
no subject
He huffs out a laugh.]
Your other job, Luna. The one you were given by the master of this house and their employees.
no subject
[ gosh. ]
no subject
...
...I'm not allowed to tell you anything.
I'm sorry.
