email notif on my phone: hanaban / me, immediately opening dreamwidth:

[mermaidcursed]

( listen sometimes they get something done in their investigating! sometimes there's good news! not this time though. but they don't know that. smashcut to nene wailing in hanako's arms in grief and betrayal still, with mr. lucifer in charge nene is sure things will be far more productive this time! )

Of course I will. ( and she seals it with a hug. hug for hanako... ) What will you be doing during the meeting?

[hanaban]

[ Hugs for Hanako... One he returns, as he does, without letting go after. ]

Me? Now that I've got the Hakujoudai back, I'm going to let them investigate where I can't go, and see what we can find. Did you want one to stay with you during the meeting?

[ So even if he can't physically be there, Nene can always have a lil soul floating around her head in future threads that people can go "hm" about ]

[mermaidcursed]

Ah- yeah.

( looks at hyde. ... looks at komaeda. keep her safe, hakujoudai... )

Will you tell me what you do find?

( she wants... to be involved. not because she doesn't trust hanako-kun, that isn't it at all. she's just...frustrated with herself, feeling passive and docile. she hates it. that isn't her- it never has been. but what can she do here? ... )

[hanaban]

Of course! You're my assistant, after all, so I need you there with me when it's time to strike.

[ Even if he's notorious for not telling her anything until the moment of, and only if he has no other choice and can't take care of something himself. At least whatever's going on here, it's going to take more than just the two of them. ]

[mermaidcursed]

Yeah. ... I... I want to save everyone here, Hanako-kun. It's- I don't think even the dead are free.

( how many times has she spent the evening just staring at the soul tree? who could say. but...

after a moment, she just rests her forehead against him, because ew. thinking. again. )

I hope tonight's not too wild. I just wanna take a nap.

[hanaban]

[ He doesn't have much hope for the night not being wild, especially when large numbers of people come together in one place. It's tiring, he knows it is, he wants nothing more than for Nene to feel safe and relaxed enough that she can get her rest, but he needs her as much as she needs him— maybe more. ]

We'll save everybody we can, [ he says, knowing that when it comes down to it, he's saving him and his. ]

Those who are living, I don't know yet why they're here or how to free them, but the dead... The world is meant for the living; the dead aren't supposed to stick around. If you want to help them, there are two ways about it: you can destroy them, thoroughly and utterly. Or, you can fulfil their wish. Remember how we used to do it?

nene like "go make some friends hanako-kun"

[mermaidcursed]

I know. But... I don't think that's the case here. The wisteria tree- at night, the flowers are hitodama. I know you've seen it too. With a place like this- with so much death... shouldn't there be something? ... I think they're trapped, Hanako-kun...

( but how can she confirm it? and if she can... how does she help them? )

asdfljh him and his only!!!!

[hanaban]

[ ... ]

We can... burn down the tree?

[ release the hitodama? ]

"MAKE FRIENDS, SAVE MORE PEOPLE ily"

[mermaidcursed]

... Do you think it'd work?

( NOT HANAKO-KUN BRINGING ARSON BACK INTO THINGS.... FULL CIRCLE... )

[hanaban]

[ no but ]

...It's worth a try?

[mermaidcursed]

... ( this isn't something they'll get a do-over for. )

We'll keep it in mind, but I think we should investigate other options first.

[hanaban]

[ No it's not, but it's something, in all the years that tree has stood and grew, he doesn't think hasn't been tried before. ]

Hmm~ ...Alright! I'm counting on you to find those other options, Yashiro! The tree's safety is in your hands!

nene like 'enough planning for right now, cuddles'

[mermaidcursed]

Okay.

( and after a moment, nene just leans against him once more- a comfort for both of them, a reassurance... calm before the storm. despite everything, she can always find something comforting in his presence. )
