[ majima is going to be chillin at the arts and crafts cabin, sitting down and looking like he's about to start working on a postcard when lili walks in... he just gives her a questioning look. ]
Oh boy. What kinda nonsense are we talkin' about, now?
I'm going to do something reckless that might lead to a killer being outed, and I'm going to do it early. I'm going to harm myself, but there should be a matching mark on the person who killed Yin Yu.
When that happens, I ask you to be at the ready. Kara, Ash, Tonbokiri, and a few others are all aware...
But I also don't want us to focus too heavily on the first killer we find. So I want to make sure they're just watched and detained, so no harm comes to either of us.
[well, the steady eye contact means that he'll definitely notice that her eyes are red, like she's been crying.
even as otherwise, she seems to be charging forward.]
... Yin Yu's.
... we didn't get to it last week - but can you tell me your power name and what it can do? And the items that you received for task prizes? I still can't give you mine in exchange... but I can tell you everything else.
I don't know but you have to understand why it looks suspicious, right?!
[AND THERE'S A FLARE OF DISTRESS THAT SHOWS ON HER FACE BUT - ]
.... fine. Okay. Fine.
So - what, you turn into the giant animals? And you used it this week, so that means that I can cover for you during trial and insist you had no part in it even if there's an animal involved?
[ but. there's no way he can say any of the following with the same tone; he knows how ridiculous it sounds and he fuckin hates it, thanks. ]
I can—it lets me turn into any animal, not just giant, for up to 24 hours. I can talk with any animal, and control the kind I transform into. The most I've done with it is try to get info outta the random animals that show up outta nowhere, which has been a bust for the most part. [ beat ] ...the crabs were already doin' the dancing thing when I got there, for the record, I got no clue why.
Listen, I know I don't seem like the type and there aren't a lot of people who're around to back me up on this, but ya said ya trust me last week, Lili. If that's still true, then trust me when I say that lying is something I take pretty damn seriously.
[ STARES DIRECTLY THROUGH YOUR SCREEN IN NITO SENRI ]
But... I dunno. Couldn't get much outta them other than how they liked dancin' and that they liked it here. Animals don't really make great conversation partners, who knew.
[ . . . . she just sighs in response to that, nodding.]
... I do trust you. I just... think that this place wouldn't let you admit to things even if you wanted to. It's why it's so difficult to believe anyone about anything.
[but she.... has to let it go now, doesn't she?]
... did you try to talk to the wolves who ate Shinobu? Or the bear that ate Yu?
Trust me, I tried lookin'—couldn't find 'em anywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if they just... vanished after the fact, like what happens to all evidence after a trial. It's not like I coulda used my power in the middle of trial without outin' myself immediately, either.
Have you talked to the directors if there's any way around it?
[she just
sounds so frustrated.]
... I know what happened this week, so if there's another animal involved - it'll probably confirm that there's another animal-related power that isn't yours.
... I'll have an idea about what happened to Yin Yu shortly, I think. I know Minako has a power that could've helped pin down her killer, if we look for it. I know that Sanji is Purple Heart, Waste of Thyme, and could create fake evidence. I know that Zenitsu is Black Shadows, Poltergeist, could turn invisible, and... was originally at the isolation cabin with us.
The rest we'll need to piece together tomorrow.
I heard there were deer trying to get into the nurse's clinic for some reason - but there was also a partial footprint left at the petting zoo.
...but yeah, all right, I can see how doin' all this runnin' around has worked out for ya. [ another beat, and another sigh. ] It goes without sayin' at this point, but I'm glad you're still on this side. Obviously, I ain't gonna lecture ya on stayin' safe, but—well, ya know what I'm gonna say.
I forced Yin Yu to use his power to connect the two of us last week as well - because I was nervous, that he'd... betrayed my trust, and ended up using his power to connect myself, Kara, and Ash.
It should disappear come Monday.
I have a plan in place for Sunday, in case... we can't find any other killer besides Yin Yu's.

I have to believe you - but if I find out that you're lying to me without being forced to, I'll get really mad.
[and she has to believe him, when he brings up his partner like that. goddammit.]
... they were already dancing...? [sounds dumb but.] ... it might be a separate power that can control animals without turning into one.

.... I'm partially in danger. The power that Yin Yu used... if something happens to the person that I'm attached to, and they die -
Then I will die as well.
It's why I'm asking for so much help.... If they retaliate, or if they act rashly, then I'll suffer and... Kara won't take that well.
