[They have all seen shit today. He has several bowls out, all full of batter and he's aggressively beating one of them manually.]

I don't know.

[toesies]

[She leans against one of the kitchen counters, just sipping her smoothie and staring at the void.]

We didn't even pause to think someone framed her, oh my god.

[housewolf]

We got information in late. We panicked.

[He moves to the next bowl.]

[toesies]

And there was that stupid skull, too... What did it even have to do with Tamaki?

[housewolf]

And the teeth-

[He's beating the batter even harder now.]

Where did those come from?

[toesies]

You saw and heard everything I did...

[cursed mystery skull]

[housewolf]

I know. You tried.

I think most people tried.

[toesies]

But not all. So, that's not great.

[housewolf]

[...]

I feel like I should've done more.

[toesies]

We're not detectives, Omi.

[housewolf]

Maybe if more of us went out- maybe we would've gotten more evidence faster.

[toesies]

And maybe then, we would have settled for Beauregard faster. [A little sarcastically.] There's no way to know what could have happened.

[housewolf]

I know you're right.

Nine hours sounds like such a long time.

[toesies]

You'd be surprised at how quickly time flies. Actual cops take days to do their investigation. I would know, I've lived next to three.

[housewolf]

[He sighs softly.]

One of my dorm mates has a brother who's a cop, but... It's not really the same thing.

[toesies]

Yeah... It isn't, is it? [A SIGH.] Pop culture osmosis is a thing. Why can't cop osmosis be a thing for us?

[housewolf]

[It feels like forever since he's laughed, but that makes a chuckle bubble out.]

Sure would be convenient right now.

[toesies]

Right? Yet another example of society being so unfair.

[housewolf]

Maybe I should start hanging out with more of them...?

[toesies]

Maybe...? No many cops to hang out with here, though.

[housewolf]

I think it's just Mineo and his... friend...?

[toesies]

Co-worker. He was very firm in making the distinction.

[housewolf]

Guess there are relationships like that everywhere.

[toesies]

It reminds you of someone you know?

[housewolf]

Two of my troupe mates spend a lot of time arguing.
