Yomiel and Knightley, Day 04

[schrodingers_man]

[ Sometime during the day, Yomiel knocks on Knightley's door, and when he's let in, he holds up... a roll of ace bandages? He's not still hung up on the arm-breaking thing, is he? ]

I've been thinking. We only need two more nights. But we're not going to get even that much. They'll kill me tonight and you tomorrow. But if we bend the rules a little, we might be able to end this sooner.

[ Knightley eyes the bandages for a moment before he realizes where he's going with this. ]

...Heh heh heh. I like the way you think, Yomiel.

[schrodingers_man]

I think we're both through playing nice with this. This is the only useful thing I found in the Storage Closet. There might be something in the blue ones, but an hour probably won't be enough time to check and catch our target.

[ Yomiel starts idly tossing the bandages up and down in his hand. ]

So we can only take out one like this. Of course, that was probably the case, anyway. I'm not really much use in a fight. That's still enough to be able to end this tomorrow, if we guess right.

[staunton]

Let's gun for Newman. He's a little brat and would be easier to take out than Logan or Fulbright. He's pretty loud, though, so we'll have to gag him.

[schrodingers_man]

The kid? I'm not sure that's going to work. Everybody already knows that brat's one of them thanks to me, so it'll be hard to swing the trial in favor of one of the other two.

[staunton]

Didn't Fulbright say something about leaving Sakura alone and target another suspect yesterday?

[schrodingers_man]

...Hehehe. I bet he's going to regret saying that tonight.

[staunton]

I can't wait to see the look on his stupid face when he realizes we're gunning for him. Aha ha!

[schrodingers_man]

If that brat knows what's good for him, he'll gun for the Detective, too. It'll get him way farther than trying to go after me.

[staunton]

I don't think he's smart enough to realize that. But whatever, we'll blow holes in his reasoning until he shuts up if we have to.

[ Moving on... ]

Hey. You said you only get the results of your investigations in the morning, right? Does anyone else know this?

[schrodingers_man]

No one still among the living.

[staunton]

You should write up a letter indicting Logan as a Communist and claim you got the results tonight before your death. They can't dispute it if they don't know how your role really works.

[schrodingers_man]

That's a good idea. I'll do that.

[ Yomiel reaches into the inner pocket of his jacket and pulls out a folded-up piece of paper. ]

Here. This is something I wrote last night, in case I wasn't here anymore this morning. It's useless now, but it should be a convincing sample of my handwriting if you need it.

[staunton]

[ He takes a moment to read it over before tucking it in his pocket. ]

Thanks. I'm sure it'll come in handy later.

[schrodingers_man]

Who knows? With this bunch of idiots, they probably won't think to question that I wrote it at all.

[staunton]

...You're right. They're all mindless morons who'd be screwed if the two of us weren't around. Tsk.
