[23:39] * Shigeru stumbles into the room, looking like hell. But that's nothing new. [23:39] Sai, I need to talk to Saki. Can you get her on the phone? [23:39] * Sai looks up, tears still streaming down his face. "Sh-shigeru?" [23:39] I...I'll call her for you. [23:40] * Shigeru shrugs and taps his way to the chair nearest the phone. "Thanks." [23:40] * Sai picks up the phone and dials Saki's number. [23:41] It...it's Sai. Shigeru wants to talk to you. [23:41] * Sai thrusts the phone into Shigeru's hands. [23:42] * Shigeru takes the phone. "Saki?" [23:42] You said before that she was on the news. Why? [23:44] Yes. Spill it. [23:45] * Shigeru frowns. "Who?" [23:48] Kyoko Yonda? Thanks. [23:48] * Shigeru goes about pulling out his laptop and boots up. "Sai, I'm going to need your eyes." [23:48] Has there been anything on her since? [23:49] * Sai looks up. "Alright." [23:49] Might be. I think... [23:50] Who did he end up killing in the end? No, wait. [23:50] * Shigeru 's eyes widen. "I... Taro developed a crush on Katherine, right?" [23:51] * Shigeru waves Sai over to look at the screen while he does a search on Kyoko Yonda. "Who else did he kill?" [23:51] * Sai looks at the screen. [23:52] It was... Ayako's birthday party, correct? What was she to him? Do you know? [23:53] ( ... You are not going to make me come up with that many names X.x ) [23:53] (*laughs* Sorry. He's just looking for a connection between Kyoko and Mei.) [23:53] [Sai sees: Kyoko Yonda, age 28. Lives in Shinjuku as the owner of a tea shop.] [23:55] * Shigeru looks through Sai's eyes and hrms. "Mei came from Shinjuku." He looks up the restaurant's history. [23:56] (At least, I think she did. I have a hard time remembering.) [23:56] ( Not that I heard. ) [23:56] (Aww, heck. :P Ixnay that last statement. He's still looking through the history.) [23:58] Erm... [23:58] * Shigeru shifts the phone. "Hey, Saki. Taro was going to kill Katherine, correct?" [23:59] Right. But he had a crush on her. What about the man who went to China? [00:01] They went on a mass murdering spree, then finished with whoever th- ah, I understand. Thank you. [00:01] Have you ever gotten ahold of their reasoning for this? [00:02] I see. [00:02] * Shigeru frowns. "In what kind of place does this usually happen? Somewhere close to the victim, or the person under the sword's influence, or what?" [00:04] That's okay. Can you give me a list? [00:05] ( No! ;_; ) [00:06] (*sigh* Well... what do you propose I do instead? ^^;) [00:06] ( If my attention wasn't so divided, I might be able to do it :P ) [00:07] (Sorry. :P What now?) [00:07] ( Ok... ) [00:08] Mmm, all right. [00:12] * Shigeru looks through Sai's eyes and starts mapping out all the locations. "I see." [00:12] ( That sucked :P ) [00:12] China? That's a jump. And then back to Tokyo, got it. [00:12] (Yup. Sorry. :P) [00:13] And each time, there was a mass murder of people that person knew, ending with whoever was the object of their attention? [00:14] Really? Go on. [00:15] Looks like this sword has a sense of drama, though. Were they toyed with or did it attempt to kill them in any way? [00:17] * Shigeru nods and considers. "Mei's reality was based on anime and manga for a while. Drama right there. And... shit." [00:17] Sai, do you know where the others went? [00:18] Chelsea's house. [00:18] All right. [00:18] * Shigeru goes back to speaking into the phone. "Thanks, Saki. You helped a lot." [00:19] What's that? [00:20] I hope so. [00:20] All right. Call back at the clubroom or Chelsea's room if you do. [00:20] * Shigeru gives Saki Chelsea's number. [00:21] Thanks. Don't get killed out there. [00:22] Heh. You've got a point. See ya later, I hope. [00:23] * Shigeru hangs up the phone. "I'm calling Chelsea." [00:23] Maybe we should call them? [00:23] That's the idea. You heard enough to get what's probably going to happen? [00:23] * Shigeru picks up the phone again and dials Chelsea's number with little difficulty. [00:23] Some idea, but not entirely. [00:23] ( Ermm... When you do, tell Chelsea to join #ShigChelKirb ) [00:24] General pattern. Victim of the sword kills people, I think they're usually connected to him or her in some way, and ends with the object of his or her affection. [00:24] * Sai nods. [00:25] *** Chelsea has joined #Club [00:27] * Shigeru grips the phone. "Hey, Chelsea. It's Shigeru." [00:27] Nothin' good, but you know that. Look, I called Saki up about that sword's history. [00:28] Sounds like the victim goes on a murdering spree. Can't tell for sure, but I think that the people targeted are related to the victim in some way. [00:29] It *usually* ends with them targeting who they think they're in love with, or who they have a crush on. [00:30] No, I don't, either. But it's a pattern. If all else fails, she'll come to us. [00:32] Kind of. I think she'd try to kill you guys first, though. [00:32] The way this happens sort of depends on the victim. Mei was really into stories: anime, manga, movies, books... [00:33] She'd want killing me to be a climactic event. [00:33] * Shigeru sounds oddly calm throughout this entire conversation. "Exactly." [00:34] Great. Go on. [00:35] The way I see it, there's a definite bright side. [00:36] As weird as that sounds... As long as she's not going after someone she feels is insignificant, she probably won't use her power. [00:37] It would be kind of anticlimactic, don't you think? [00:38] ( What, Chel's plan or what Shig said? ) [00:38] (What Shig said.) [00:39] Well... if we're going to do that... [00:40] * Shigeru turns to Sai. "Tokyo Tower's where stuff always happens in anime and manga, right?" [00:40] Uh, yeah. I think so. [00:40] Right. [00:41] * Shigeru goes back to speaking directly into the mouthpiece. "Tokyo Tower. And yeah, it's terrible." [00:42] Pretty much. [00:42] I'm cringing just thinking about it, and it's exactly where Mei'd be waiting for us, if my guess is right. [00:43] I'm telling you, she'd be there. [00:43] That makes sense... [00:44] * Shigeru nods to Sai. "If they're against it, they don't have to come. They're not her targets, after all." [00:44] ( Maybe Norii and Eoi aren't. ) [00:44] No, I'm going. I've had enough of this sword controlling her mind shit. [00:45] I'm going there. [00:46] * Shigeru smiles slightly. "Thanks, Chel. I really mean that." [00:46] The clubroom. [00:47] * Shigeru laughs shortly and shakes his head. "Okay, I won't." [00:47] [Session End]
