[STOP WHAT CAN HE DO!! THERE'S ONLY WEDDING ARRANGEMENTS
he really looks like he wants to ask what the HELL is going on, but]
You can leave the rest of this stuff to me, Nogiku-san. [will the ghosts let her leave] I'll pull a distraction or something so you can get out of here.

[if nogiku looks hard enough then itsuki could simply cease to be and i think that's swell,]
...I'd really rather not, but... [...] We keep on being played against each other. Like on Sunday and at those places Ryu-kun and the others were taken to.
If this is the prism's fault, then it's probably working through us in some way.

... There was another incident. Those guys who went through the hidden tunnel in the kitchen wanted to kill each other, too.
[She laughs, briefly and bitterly.]
So these are the prism's true colors, huh? I'd really like to see them call it a "fluke" now, but of course, we can't reach the residents.

"It waits only to see us struggle for a while longer", huh...
That note Percy-kun and the others found seems more and more likely. [he looks back at the pods, frowning] Is playing along the only thing we can do right now?
[he says, but there's no real rancor there. He's thinking of Ryunosuke, and how if the prism wanted to stir them up, then wasn't this the best way?]

Nogiku-san...
[he's a little surprised,
maybe this is the first time he's seen Nogiku look anything other than hostile, which Itsuki always deserves, and yet]
..Same here. I don't mind working hard for this. [even if he likes to be coded as lazy] If you've got this place, then I'll go out and search somewhere else.

[they are at the spins wheel back alley, Itsuki looks at the colors on the walls, and the symbols]
So what, is this entire wall going to get painted over?
[is this a mural? a grave? a list? this is like... rage inducing, and yet, Itsuki speaks in the same neutral tone as always]

[LOOK.... HE CAN'T EXPLAIN IT....
at least he now knows something is wrong with him, even if he can't really identify himself]
I get the feeling that I should apologize... [and he would, if he thinks it would help] My tattoo is starting to peel a little. I think I might be back to normal by tomorrow.

[he raises his hand in farewell,
and then goes off to find absolutely nothing........ nogiku, he's so sorry....]

... Don't bother to apologize unless you actually mean it.
[Which, is a little hard considering his currently cursed ass. But she won't be accepting any apologies while he's in this state, anyway.]
You don't have any idea where the tattoo came from, still?

[his cursed ass apologies...
Itsuki shakes his head,]
...I don't remember doing anything to have caused it, or made anyone want to put a tattoo -- curse thing on me.
[cue flashbacks]
Well, at least not recently.

[look]
...Well. You know how I was when I first met. I was looking for trouble, like I always do.
[he's toned it down some since then, but still... itsuki's annoying]

... You talk as if you have gone through some massive character development since then.
[nogiku voice]
[nogiku voice]
[STOPMSLJFLSDF yeah itsuki's true nature,]
-- Maybe not massive, but I think I've changed for the better?
[WHY IS THIS A QUESTION]
-- Maybe not massive, but I think I've changed for the better?
[WHY IS THIS A QUESTION]
[he thinks about it
hm]
...I have. It's a little bit, but it's there. Then again, maybe that's my confidence talking for me.

[Itsuki's at the carnival, staring at the rides like it will give him all the answers. He glances Nogiku's way, then gives her a wave with (1) bandaged hand.]
I was just about to get in. Wanna come?
[he's smiling, but there's a sheen in his eyes that looks almost like panic, before it vanishes.]

[the dead....
...he lets out a soft huff at that]
...Besides the touching and holding?
I wasn't this time. I guess someone wanted to spare me.
