[ at some point in the day, when argalia wanders he will find that nico is sitting on the grass near the fountain area of justice circle. he has his full goth attire on (black jeans, black shirt with a skull or skeleton, black bomber jacket, black and white sneakers) and he appears to be...reading the newspaper.
We are technically heroes from another world. If that's not newsworthy for these people, I'd like to see what is. [ this is all said in an incredibly deadpan tone, but he's looking at the paper anyway. ]
Then again we already know they were preparing for us, so maybe it's not that weird.
You noticed too? [ he frowns a little. ] It's one of the things I'm going to try and ask the leaders about. They must have some idea if they've all been here that long.
[ anyway he comes to jail, keeping to himself and very much not planning a jailbreak this time, sorry. but he approaches argalia's cell, stopping in front of him and just out of range out of the bars. ]
...so can I ask if you're satisfied with the results?
I just thought it would be interesting to see something about our dear overseers, if it were possible. If I planned to kill, would they know, and avoid arranging another situation like Mika's? Or would they do it anyway, and give you all more death to handle?
Without knowing who precisely killed Norma, I suppose it's no sure thing.
[but they did have a second body, so... either two of them just decided to kill, or.]
Someone must have brought us here. And if last week was accidental, someone had to arrange it if those two were awake, didn't they? Then the rules changed, so... why not test them?
[he is making assumptions, is what he's doing, but he thinks they're founded in something. are they? we don't know.]
I don't know what you mean by who I am, though. I've never been anyone different here.
[ so. good at hiding the crazy. that's fine, he's happy to leave that alone. there are bars between them. ]
I can't say I disagree with the logic. I mean I disagree with the test by, like, a lot. But I don't disagree that someone brought us here and has been pulling our strings the whole time. So that was it? You just decided to kill Chiemi and waited to see if you would wake up to go through with it?
But you mentioned you didn't know anything about Norma until the rest of us. So I guess that's a moot point. [ ... ] She really didn't try to stop you? Did you tell her what you were trying to do?
The criteria being someone somewhat logical but still able to defend themselves long enough to make it count. [ he can respect that even if he also hates it. ] It worked in that case.
...you are being surprisingly straightforward with these answers.
It's more difficult to make sure it goes unnoticed than you would think. I assume she thought I would slip and say something obviously untrue, or be unable to answer a direct question like where I stayed the night.
It still sounds like more of a help than a hinderance. [ since you can just be cursed?? to lie?? well no that probably makes sense now that he thinks about it. ] I didn't think she had time to activate it before you killed her.

Believe it or not, we made headlines already.

Which overseers now? The leaders? Or the people who actually brought us here? [ man what the fuck. ] Actually can we start over? Who even are you?

Interesting choice from her. But I guess we know what the wonderball was for now, even if you'd think she'd leave you capable of speaking the truth.
