[ is he at least wearing pants?
well. either way.
lbx just gets a slow, actually impressed clap from date. no problems with depth perception here, apparently. ]
Impressive. Kinda like watching a concert for real.

[ HE IS WEARING PANTS, thank god. just not his shoes. his dress shoes are neatly piled by the door.
anyway his cheeks are very red because he appears to have lost his sense of shamelessness. ]
Ah. You know, somehow I think you might be exaggerating.

[ he’d have more questions if the pants were missing too, yeah.
proud of him. shame only holds you back. become cringe. ]
A little. But you do look like you’re having a good time.

The constant weight of crushing depression does get a bit too much sometimes.
[ death is miserable, who knew?
he looks like he’s thinking about it for a second, and then he takes his hand. ]
Sure, why not?

[ that's the spirit!!! both of those things! lu bixing seems to be the "do not stop moving so i dont have to think about my crippling grief or depression" kind of guy. just a hunch.
but he lets the music kick back up again and like. starts boppin. he might as well slide across the floor in his socks again and just let the music take over, right? just vibe? he dances like a dad to be honest but its?? charming?? ]

[ can be depressed if you run too fast for depression to catch you! yeah!
nice dad dancing. date looks like he's thinking about something for a moment, before he nudges off his own shoes for maximum "sliding across the floor" power, ala lbx.
he absolutely overshoots the first slide and nearly takes out a drumkit. ]
-- Fuck!

[ nah he's dead. surprise, you get a spoiler for 3/6/11pm date's been dead all week. ]
I'm good.
[ is he though? the drum kit is still standing at least. just. ]

[ what an unhappy friday. lu bixing's... outside of the aquarium, looking at it like it might spit out a single answer, his hands laced behind his back, holding still and silent.
though... when he hears date coming, he looks over his shoulder, and gives him a soft, not quite there smile. ]
...Hey, Date. Where'd you stay last night?

[ love smad dads coming to the potential scene of the crime. date looks more on the mad side but it's veering off into a level of Tired, more than anything. that kind of bone deep tired that sinks in and doesn't let go. ]
... Movie theatre. Mikiri was there too.
... Movie theatre. Mikiri was there too.
[ yeah lu bixing is about the same. just tired, and businessy.
...though, to hear that - that's good, at least, to know where he was. he makes a quiet noise, reaching for the device on his wrist and tapping something against it. ]
Were you all with a big group...? I'm - I can't imagine being put to sleep and waking up to see him gone, Date. I'm so sorry.

[ he glances down at the movement, and whatever he's tapping, but looks back up at the aquarium after. ]
Pretty big. There were eight of us, I think. [ he's doing a mental count. ]
... Yeah, eight of us. [ he doesn't really comment on the last part. but haha! yeah! it really sucked, actually. ]

[ look at him making diligent notes... ]
Maybe we'll even do it with time to spare, instead of panicking to the last second.

[ his mouth quirks, but somehow even that seems dry and tired. ]
Hard not to think that way given our track record. But by all accounts, solving either of the last two murders should've been impossible with the time frame we had. So... that's something.

[ mood. ]
I agree. I think we're doing well with the parameters we have, all things considered. We just need to continue to be focused and organized. Narrow things down early, move in groups, communicate with each other, and... we need to ensure cooperation where we can, too.
[ considering their big ass group of refusers ]

... yeah, we've got some rebels. Which is annoying. But if every suspect behaved in investigations, you wouldn't need interrogations.
[ wowee. ]
We have the movie theatre, and here to start with. And hopefully we'll have a-- [ ... ]-- full body to examine from the start.

[ please stop jinxing it
lu bixing pinches the bridge of his nose and nods. yeah. he was thinking the same thing. ]
Hopefully. I think it's likely that we can investigate the aquarium, too - the image looked like it was from there based on the water droplets. That's a start.

[ every time someone goes "good luck tomorrow" i'm like "what have you done" and expect the worst. ]
Glass and water droplets, yeah. And whatever happened, Mikiri would've had to move from the movie theatre so we may find some evidence in or around there.

[ puts them on the beach where date is just STARING out into nothing. like his gaze isn't even focused. wow. ]
[ he doesn’t respond for a moment. but, if lu bixing is watching, he’ll see date’s head tilt to one side after a couple of seconds, like he’s realised he’s not alone.
and then he just waves a hand. ]
Looking for some quiet and… well—“fresh” air too?
