[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.
He sighs, and takes a seat so he's no longer looming. See? He can be polite, too.]
If those orders were to be changed or removed, would you be able to share what you know? Understand that this is for the sake of our— No... Everyone's survival. Our goals are aligned, after all.
... We want to save people from the monsters -- both becoming them and being killed by them. We want to stop the murders. If we can deal with the problem in another way, we can petition for Master Blue and the girls to remove the rules about killing and voting.
[Akechi's words only make her expression fall further, hands curling into her skirt but unwilling to open her mouth.
...
Phoenix, on the other hand...
...
Wordlessly, she turns to her modest collection of items near the chaise, unfolding one of the notebooks she has already used up completely. She pulls out an envelope, and holds it out for Phoenix.
Phoenix has done nothing wrong, so Akechi isn't terribly surprised by this turn of events. He silently watches his exchange, crossing his legs and waiting for Phoenix to read it... since he really can't see the contents from here.]
Was it Akira? I heard about it from him, you know... I also heard you asked him for a sample of his blood, as well. [Still... pleasantly.] This is not an interrogation, and that isn't about to change. But I hope you haven't forgotten that I complied to your request, Luna.

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.
no subject
[Calmly.
Yes, he is still standing.]
no subject
[ sorry luna ]
no subject
I can't. I'm under orders.
Think what you want.
no subject
[Hm.]
no subject
[ he's looking pretty intently at luna now. ]
no subject
[she only looks down at her hands, completely silent
hm]
no subject
He sighs, and takes a seat so he's no longer looming. See? He can be polite, too.]
If those orders were to be changed or removed, would you be able to share what you know? Understand that this is for the sake of our— No... Everyone's survival. Our goals are aligned, after all.
no subject
Isn't that what you're working towards too, Luna?

[ first things first, he puts a hand on her arm, gently. sincerely: ]
... Thank you.
[ it's only a light and quick touch, so it's not uncomfortable. then he reads the note for akechi ]
By the way.... it's confirmed that Hunter is immune to the fluctuations, Luna. That could be a good place to start, if you haven't already.
no subject
...I know.
Another participant has told me about Hunter already.
no subject
Was it Akira? I heard about it from him, you know... I also heard you asked him for a sample of his blood, as well. [Still... pleasantly.] This is not an interrogation, and that isn't about to change. But I hope you haven't forgotten that I complied to your request, Luna.
