week three - sunday, post execution (lief)

[eisenundblut]

[Prussia tries to catch Lief's eye before leaving the site of the execution. She's covered Newt's body with her jacket, because honestly... she doesn't know what else to do with it right now. She's holding Hayner's vest folded neatly over one arm, and a stick of sea-salt ice cream in her hand as she unlocks their door and pushes it open with her foot.

Then she just sags to the bed to wait for Lief to show up. She... isn't really hungry, but Hayner wanted everybody to eat ice cream, right? It feels wrong to just leave it.]

Damn right about that.

[Such a good kid. She's so proud of you all the time.]

You're vouching for Magilou, but I gotta say... that stunt she pulled with the Jacks? Pissed me off.

[She taps the pencil against her journal, studiously keeping her eyes on the paper instead of looking at Lief.]

I talked to Newt a little about this last night, but... sometimes when Hiro talks, he sounds like he knows a lot more than he lets on. I don't know the kid well, I just know he's skittish like a shy little bird. [he wouldn't let her pet his head which is... normal....]

If Akira's a Siren... ...

[She scrunches up her face.]

It's what I'd do, if I was running this stupid game and wanted his group to win. Take out someone close to him myself, give him reason to keep fighting to bring her back. Also makes the rest of us feel sorry for him. Aaah, shitheads...

[reidentify]

... I understand, and I will not ask you to like her, but at least understand that it was not out of malice.

[Lief nods.]

Hiro... He asks many questions and often contributes, but thinking about it, and knowing in hindsight that Mello was not the Sirens' work—I feel as though much of what he says, or the answers he seeks, would not actually harm the Sirens.

I know he is one of Magilou's suspects as well, at least, and she believes that even if he is without a role, he and Kirigiri may be up to something. [...] Akira, as well, is another person she is considering. So far, he has not said anything to give her room for pause, but she intends to see if perhaps he is hiding something. If he is a Siren, then she has faith that he would be willing to cooperate with us.

[eisenundblut]

Genau, ganz genau. That's what I thought about him. Newt disagreed, but Newt's a softy. ...Was a softy. Anyway.

Kirigiri too, huh...?

[She makes a small note on the page.]

If it's true, that'd mean Erhard is safe. Safer than I could make him by breaking his partnership, anyway.

[She scratches the eraser end of the pencil through her hair.]

We got... four Sirens left, oder? If we're thinkin' it's Hiro, Akira, Kyouko... That still leaves one left.

Anybody else tell you about their roles?

[reidentify]

I do not think it is both Hiro and Kirigiri, if only because they would take care to associate less during trials. I believe that the Sirens would avoid being seen as close to one another—at least, they would not publicly make plans to consult with one another, as Kirigiri and Hiro have done.

... If it is not Akira, then I suspect Raven. [Though he hates using that word because Raven is his friend, and he'd... like to believe that regardless of how this game turns out, that remains true.] But like with Akira, that is based more on following how the Chiefs might think than actual evidence.

[He sighs.]

So no. Which is no surprise, I suppose.

[eisenundblut]

Hmm... good point.

[She scribbles out that mark.]

Bellamy told me he doesn't have one. Me and Bellamy yell at each other a lot, so I think I can trust him.

[???? Sound logic.]

So right now, we got a couple guesses and nothing really concrete. We don't even know which one is the right side to be on, here. In trials, we supposed to vote for who we think did it, or just buy time as long as we can?

[reidentify]

[He nods, choosing to completely ignore that logic...]

Bellamy has been confirmed. He and Magilou were the two people that Jack Vessalius examined, so if he is guilty of anything, it is not through having a role.

[...]

I do not know. I imagine that discussion will come up, either this week or at the next trial.

[eisenundblut]

Tch.

[She closes her journal and flops backward onto her bed, throwing an arm over her eyes.]

I hate waiting! Can't even hang out with Newt and Jack anymore. That asshole even drank the last of the Jäger Austria asked for.
