I always put myself in destructive situations [W5, Friday]

[hydrokinetics]

[It took time. Everything took time as it always did. It took time for them to all calm down, it took time to heal physical wounds, it took time to properly remove the evidence of obscene crimes...but in the evening they were able to gather in one place away from everyone else. It hadn't been easy coordinating everything, but it was necessary.

And so here they were. All seven of them.]

...I don't really know where to start. [His voice is tight, but determined.] But we need everybody on the same page. Who wants to go first?

[Well, since his name has been coming up thanks to the letters:]

Does anyone know what the hell was up with Riku? He somehow knew about the Bounty role—sort of—but from what I can tell, none of us told him anything.

[elemancy]

None of us did, that I know of.

...Maybe he'd talked to Deputy, or something.

[insincerely]

... Maybe. Anyone know who Riku kept in contact with? [...] Besides Xion.

[Not that he's discounting Xion, but she's already a given in terms of Riku's acquaintances.]

[elemancy]

Not me. Only talked to him twice—the day we showed up here, and after Xion tipped me off about him having info.

[so.

not helpful.]

[hydrokinetics]

When I asked Xion who Riku spoke to, she gave me a list of names. She named me, Noctis, Tarvek, and Harry. Obviously Noct and I didn't say anything. I never really talked to the guy and Noctis didn't even come clean until a few days ago.

So...what do you think of that?

[insincerely]

... Well, I'm not sure if Tarvek had anything to do with it. [...] You're Harry's roommate, right? What's he like?

[hydrokinetics]

Kinda keeps to himself? Harry and I are both really frustrated with this place. He's...sort of like me? Has a really, really big job to get back to at home. I'll be honest, I don't know too much about him. I trust him, but. Well. [Not enough to bring him here, obviously.]

[insincerely]

[Hmm.]

So, nothing we can really work with yet, I guess.

[hydrokinetics]

Something worth looking out for at least.

I know he's pretty desperate to get back though.
