Private Conversation with [personal profile] devilsnight for [community profile] parasomnic

Week 3 - Monday, 4:30pm, Ballroom

[ Mikami had everything laid out so nicely and organizedly when he started collecting alibis and he somehow should have known that it would not go at all as he planned.
Thursday he'd gone to sleep thinking he'd interrogate Top Dollar about his lack of alibi immediately after his check round on the next morning. Except on Friday he woke up to a chopped up corpse and a lengthy investigation. And then the next day trial and betrayal and... the weekend was a mess, suffice to say.

And then Monday is too, but by the afternoon, Mikami is ready to put that aside for a moment to do his overdue duty. He's hesitant about approaching a suspect on his own, but the ballroom is a public area and people are passing through all the time at this time of day. If Top Dollar shot him then he'd be caught for it immediately. ]


Can I have a moment?

[Well, fortunately for Mikami's nerves, Top Dollar doesn't seem to be doing anything too important right now, nor is he doing anything inherently threatening. He doesn't have any blades out, nor does he have his guns on him; the motive isn't hitting him well, but thankfully that's just manifesting in a general desire to not be around everyone and their grandmother. The ballroom is nice; if nothing else, Kevin is usually in and out of here, so if he really wants company he can seek the priest out and everything will work out fine.

Granted, he's not expecting Mikami approaching him, given that they don't usually talk; he'll straighten up a bit where he was kind of idly half-draped over one of the couches, crossing his legs casually at the knee, though his gloved fingertips will be tapping out light patterns on the arm of the couch next to him.]


Don't see why not; I'm not gonna say no to company.

[That's fine; he's entirely capable of business-only, as is evidenced by the fact that all casual formality leaves his voice once the question's out there - his tone doesn't go hard, he doesn't seem defensive, but there certainly is something decidedly blunter behind it.]

Pretty sure Hazama answered for at least one of those times, didn't he?

Bluntly put, all of my alibis are meaningless, because I was alone on the other two days.

So am I supposed to assume you're tracking down everyone who was alone at any of those times, or am I special?
devilsnight: (DEADEYE † ahh fuck it)

...How likely do you actually think it is that I'm going around shooting people? Just as a curiosity thing.

Good to know.

[And in some ways, it is; it doesn't sound sarcastic or condescending, either, for what it's worth.]

I didn't have my guns until Wednesday morning; I got them from room service then, you can check the security tapes. I talked to the one guy, Darren, about them - he's the one in black, he likes talking to me about weapons.

They're Berettas. A pair of them, model 92FS, 9mm cartridges. I got five bullets each in them, none of 'em have been fired. If you want to check sometime, you be my guest.

[I mean, there's not liking authority and then there's being a complete goddamn idiot. Top Dollar has his moments where he's dumb as hell, but he's usually not a complete goddamn idiot, and Mikami hasn't done anything to disrespect him to his face, so...]

He liked one of my swords, wanted to know where I got it. He seemed to recognize it, too - it's a functioning replica of something from a movie that came out in the late 1980s. He didn't seem any more or less interested in the guns, though, if that's what you're getting at.

Probably worth noting that the one in white doesn't come up anymore; it's just been this Darren guy the past few times. Pretty sure I make the other one nervous.

Ohhh, that's interesting.

[It's sort of dry, sure, but it's not altogether insincere.]

The guys in the gym seem a little...excited, if you get my drift. They like talking shop when it comes to killing people. Darren's not as loud about it, but he likes delivering my weapons. So I wouldn't put it past any of them, though hell if I know what their reasons would be - you'd think they'd find the experiment just as good as anything else, if they're helping with it.

Unfortunately for both of us, though, Prosecutor - I don't know any more about our gunner than anyone else here.

Jesus Christ, you're boring as fuck, aren't you.

[...That could have been a lot harsher than it was, but it's still blunt as hell.]

Second floor in the garden on the second day. Heard the gunshot but decided to wait for word from Sandra before doing anything about it. In my room doing a couple of personal readings with my cards on the third day, didn't hear a fucking thing.

I'm not here for forensics amateur hour, I don't see any need to jump on seeing what's going on with the bodies. Shot is shot, and it really doesn't matter to me either way.

[...Actually, that is kinda the problem here? Dios mio.]

No promises. Are we done here?
