[HIS LUCKY CHARMS ARE VERY UNLUCKY he's the only one here who's both a sword and a Grimm!!!
But she can probably find him on his way back to the cabin after he nyooms around to talk to the others. He looks--extremely exhausted, and a little surprised to see her approach him, but he nods his thanks, carefully taking it.]
Beau-kun... [He hesitates, before he looks down.] I'm sorry. Tsurumaru-san isn't here to say it, so...
[He doesn't eat it right away, but he holds onto it as he shrugs a little.]
Tsurumaru-san is a sword. The actions of one of us represent the actions of us all. [Or maybe that's just a Shinsengumi thing, but.] He should have known better.
He should have known better than to scare someone on purpose when we were all on edge. Especially someone he didn't know.
[Even if it was an accident, it's still mostly Tsurumaru's fault, okay. NONE OF THE SWORDS WILL DENY IT.]
Evan-kun... did not have a good death, in the castle. [He didn't doxx Evan during trial but there's no point in keeping it secret now.] If something bad happens to him tomorrow, then the others will never forgive Tsurumaru-san.
Yeah. We are. Because of a fucking accident. [ sigh. ] At least it wasn't... on purpose. I don't know what I would've done if someone fucked us over on purpose.
[Beau please he's too simple for any metaphors that aren't about Sirius or wolves]
No, I mean... [He bites his lip, trying to figure out what he wants to say. He's not the best at phrasing things around people who don't already understand him.]
I don't think Evan-kun killed Tsurumaru-san on purpose. I believe that it was an accident. [He'll put that out there first and foremost.] But--he said he wanted to tell me the truth yesterday, when I asked him if he'd seen anything. Isn't it strange, that he couldn't? And the rules, the voices... even if it's just residual energy, like they said, doesn't it seem too... [A pause, frustrated. He's not sure it's the right word, but--] Organized?
[It feels like there are other factors at play, he means. He believes that it wasn't an accident, but... he's not so sure he believes that something like this wouldn't have happened to someone else, if Tsurumaru had chosen not to be a dumbass. He's not sure he's made sense, though.]
It does. No, you're right, it definitely feels like too much of a set up. Like it doesn't matter who the fuck died today, we'd still be trapped. [ she snaps her scrunchie against her wrist. ] Like bad luck is following us.
Don't kill anybody, or you'll get stuck here -- oops! Surprise! It was an accident that someone ended up dead on Thursday, just like always!
I don't know that we can stop it, but. We can try our fucking best to figure out how to bring everybody back.
That's what we did at the House. It - didn't stop mattering that people were dead, but it was less devastating, you know? Because we knew if we took the right steps, everybody could go home.
We can do it, man. It's gonna suck, but we can believe in the end result.

What are you apologizing to me for? [ she asks, tilting her head. ] Looks like you lost way more than me.

It was an accident. Neither of them could've predicted it happening.

I don't think anybody had good deaths. [ a pause. ] He doesn't seem like the sort of kid that deserves that shit, no, but...
I don't know. You don't need to apologize to me, this barely affects me.

No jk. Yasusada still looks distraught, though.]
But now we're all trapped here...
[For a "cycle", whatever that means.]

It doesn't feel right.

But then, does that mean they're lying? Or is there something else involved too?
no subject
Not until we understand more about what's going on.

[But man, does he hate that. Patience isn't his strong suit, even for a spirit who doesn't experience time like a mortal does.]
But what else can we do? And how can we stop this from happening again?
[Since apparently even 8 straight weeks of murder can't get people to STAY IN THEIR CABINS!!!]
