Not Again! With Akira

Nah. You can just lie down on the bed and rest them on your stomach for about twenty minutes or so. That'll help.

. . . you're not used to having to treat your injuries the old-fashioned way, are you?

[shortforever]

[Welp. He'll go ahead and lay down, since Akira said to do so. He's letting his injured hand lay on the bed next to him, while the uninjured one is propped under his head like a pillow.]

Nah, not at all. Like I said, I've got fast healing. When broken bones are taken care of in a couple of hours at most, there's no need to worry about doctors or medicine. The only stuff I ever had to worry about was things that'd kill me instantly, or make me bleed out quickly.

[survivaltricks]

[well if that's what he's doing, then Akira is gonna lift his shirt to plop some very cold ice packs onto his ribs. ENJOY THAT, CHUUYA]

Then you're lucky Dick's been giving me first aid lessons.

[shortforever]

[He's. Trying to keep himself composed.]

Lessons from Dick... Dick lessons...

[. . . reaches out to flick Chuuya's forehead]

So anyway, what did team Heart win this weekend?

[shortforever]

[He's flicking the forehead. With a giant bruise on it.

Yeah, he flinches from that before he speaks.]

A long horn of some sort. We didn't win again.

[survivaltricks]

[HE IS FLICKING GENTLY??? but he also frowns a little as he leans back]

. . . another musical instrument for us, too. I don't know what it is-- some kind of flute?

But we also didn't win, which means Shadows' team must really be doing overtime.

[shortforever]

That or someone on your team isn't pulling their weight.

[Like, he expected Purple to lose, but since Evan was on Shadows team he though Winter's team would claim this week.]

[survivaltricks]

[even with Evan and Tsurumaru dying, the numbers on all three teams were even, so. . . Akira had no predictions about who would take what]

Who knows? It might be a combination of the two. But I'd more readily bet that Shadows' team just has plenty of go-getters on it.

[shortforever]

So we kneecap the go-getters to keep them from participating. Got it.

[He is joking. ]

[survivaltricks]

If you weren't injured I'd throw something at you right now.

[JUST SAYING!!]

I don't mind not winning.

[shortforever]

What can I say, I'm competitive.

[Not enough to kill people over, but. Yeah. ]

[survivaltricks]

You can be competitive without threatening to kneecap someone.

[be nice Chuuya :/]

You haven't met anyone on Shadows' team, have you?

[shortforever]

[Can't stop won't stop. ]

I probably have, but I just don't know it. I only know that team you and Dazai are on, and then the dead too.

[survivaltricks]

Well yeah, that goes for me, too. I was just hoping maybe someone on Shadows' team told you they were on their team.

[but that's a no-go]

And I haven't met anyone on their team who has admitted it to me, either. Though that's probably because I'm playing my cards close to my chest.

[as]

[close to his chest as he can after that STUPID TRIAL]

[shortforever]

Well, we can discount anyone with one of those dinky instruments, right?

[survivaltricks]

No, I don't think so.

In fact, those dinky instruments might be more than just dinky instruments for anyone on Shadows' team.

[shortforever]

So, like, we all got insturments, but theirs does something special?

[survivaltricks]

Mmmyep. That'd be the easiest way to prevent anyone from telling who is on what team based on their end-of-the-week rewards.

So maybe anyone who did produce an instrument is on Shadows' team.

[shortforever]

...you know, you might be right. For anyone else, its just a useless hunk of plastic. But for them, its got a use.

[survivaltricks]

[nods!!]

That's my revised theory now that we know people on both Heart's and Winter's teams got both kazoos and harmonicas.

It's a good way to keep things a secret, you know?
