Mami: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING
Atobe: smirks
Robert: And he didn't even have to take off his clothes.
Atobe: "Of course."
Reiji: WONDERING WHY YOU SMELL LIKE THE HANDKERCHIEF
Mami: "Hello, Sakamaki-san." Smiles!!!
Atobe: EYE ON ROBERT NEXT TIME BUDDY.
Reiji: "Tomoe. ... You dropped this on your way into the trial room."
Robert: Why do you want to see my body, Atobe. No.
Narancia: ... Looks down. "... Hey, Fugo? Can I stay in your room tonight..."
Atobe: STARES AT
Ichi: Gay.
Atobe: whispers
Atobe: gaaaaaaaaay
Kano joined the chat.
Ichi: Overhears.
Mami: Blinks and looks down at the handkerchief. Looks back up at Reiji. "Did I? Thank you, Sakamaki-san." Smiles again and takes it from him.
Fugo: "... I was just about to ask..."
Dean WinchesterJust. Wrestles back into his jacket and leaves, leather billowing in the wind as he walks away. Truly. Majestic.
Garry: Touching handkerchief reunion scenes!!!
Fugo: Sighs...
Robert: Goes. Time for another cup of tea.
Reiji: Pushes up his glasses. "... You speak fervently on the subject of justice. Is this how a human views "justice"?"
Narancia: Bye Dean.....
Atobe: walks away, scent of his cologne lingering
Narancia: "... Good. ... Sorry for messing up again..."
Ichi: "... Are they... lovers... Ichi wonders..."
Reiji: ichi is right. they gay
Atobe: so gay
Fugo: whos gay
Mami: "Ah, well..." Smiles sheepishly, looking down at her handkerchief. "Not every human. We all have different views, after all. But...I try to uphold the truths of justice. That's what a mahou shoujo is meant to do."
Fugo: better not be fugo
Narancia: Blinks. Looks at Itchy. "... Who..."
Ichi: ITCHY

Ichi: "... But also you and... cheese man..."
Ichi: HAHA H A

Reiji": I see. The trial's progression is simply... one means of upholding justice. Are you familiar with the Code of Hammurabi?" -- ICHI.
Yang left the chat.
Ichi: itchy,
Narancia: "... GYAHAHA!! CHEESE MAN!!-- wait."
Narancia: "I'M NOT GAY!"
Fugo: "Narancia is gay. I'm not..."
Reiji: Not even gonna... comment on Ichi... no... he's not Mami's lover...
Narancia: "Dude, no I'm not!!"
Ichi: She shrugs her shoulders casually.
Ichi: Looks gay to Ichi.
Mami: Thinks to herself. "Isn't that Babylonian code of law...? I believe I saw that in a book I read once."
Fugo: "No, you totally stuck to my ass today!"
Mami: oh lord mami and reiji are not dating
Fugo: Nervous laughter...
Fugo: Still not feeling it...
Narancia: "I'll fucking kill you, Fugo!!" Look, he'll take out his knife, too. Points it up at at his THROAT. "I'm gonna kill you, I'll kill you and we'll have another trial right fucking now!!"
Mami: "NARANCIA GHIRGA."
Reiji: "Indeed. It's one of the oldest codes of law in written history. A common saying--" FUCK
diavolo left the chat.
Narancia: FREEZES.......
Mami: Gives him...The Look.

Fugo: Ah. Yes. The Look.

FugoToo tired to get angry...
Ichi"... Two sets of lovers... eh... how nice..." Saunters away.
Narancia... It's not fun when he's not mad. What the hell.
MamiTurns back to Reiji. "Sorry, Sakamaki-san."
FugoPuts... tip of finger on knife... moves it away...
FugoSighs...
Narancia"... I'm sorry, Fugo."
Robert left the chat.
Fugo"It's fine, I just..."
Mami"You were saying something about a common saying?"
FugoTries to smile...
NaranciaLooks down and lowers his knife. "... Should we... tell Buccellati..."
Apollo left the chat.
Fugo"Probably..."
izayaWatches the gays.
Narancia"... Can we do that tomorrow, though? I know he'd want us to do it right away, but..."
Fugofuck off byezaya
Reiji"It's fine." God, she's... surprisingly stern. "An eye for an eye. That was the basics of the Hammurabi code. It goes to show just how basic and obsolete such a code of justice truly is."
Fugo"I'm tired... I just... I don't know..."
Natsume left the chat.
KiraSuddenly, a disco ball lowers down. The music begins to play. Yoshikage Kira is in paradise. He is so happy. He is throwing a party. Look at him, bumping and grinding his way across the trial room. Diavolo Diavoloson is fucking DEAD. Life is so wonderful. Truly, the God of Luck is with him. With him, Yoshikage Kira. Thank you.
Kiranot really

Mami"Ah, right..." Frowning to herself, she looks down at her handkerchief. "While I don't believe in an eye for an eye, that's the code we have to live by here, isn't it?"
Narancia"... Yeah, me too. But... he's gone now, right? People can't come back from the dead..."
NaranciaHAHA
Ymir left the chat.
Fugo"Yeah..."
Mami"If I was younger, I would have said that someone who commits murder is evil. But what about mercy killings...? It's complicated..." More frowning.
Fugo"I'm glad he's gone, but..."
FugoKind of wanted to go after Diavolo...
NaranciaYOU FUCKING PROMISED
FugoYou weren't supposed to know.
Reiji"Precisely. Murder is not evil on its own."
Mami"It doesn't mean we should do it, though." Looks up at Reiji. Smiles!!! "But I know you wouldn't kill someone, Sakamaki-san."
Narancia"... But what."
Fugo"Even if he's gone for good, I'm... still... kind of..." rubs the nape of his neck.
Fugo"I'm still scared, Narancia..."
Reiji"Fufu. I understand that much. However, could you condemn an accidental murder as evil? A murder in self-defense as evil? Who are humans to determine what is and what isn't "evil"?"
Narancia"..." Looks down. Chews on his lip and just kinda. "... It'll be okay, Fugo. Nothing's gonna happen to you, okay?" Something Will happen to Narancia, though. : )
Mami"It's about intent, isn't it? If I wish to harm another person simply because it would bring both themselves and their loved ones suffering, wouldn't that be evil? The desire to hurt..."
Fugo"If anything happens to you two, I'll... I'll snap..."
Narancia... SWALLOWS.
Fugo"I don't think I'd be able to forgive myself if anything happened to you..."
Narancia"... Hey, Fugo? ... I-I'm... I'm gonna stay in my room tonight, okay...?"
Fugo"Why...? No... I can't sleep alone today..."
NaranciaBites his lip. "... I... Uh... I just--" LOOKS DOWN.
Fugo"Please, Narancia..."
NaranciaLooking like he's about to have a goddamn panic attack holy shit. Look at this boy sweat. "... N... ngh..."
Fugo"Why don't you want to come over? You come just every other day!"
FugoHoly shit he's mad.
Fugo"But not when I need you the most? Why not?"
Kira left the chat.
NaranciaDo you see this, Fugo. Look. The orange is crying now. Look at what you've done. "... I-I... Fugo-- I..."
FugoStops...
Fugo"Please... I'm..." Jello's crying too...
Mamigay
Fugoshut up mumi
Reiji"The school runs under the Code of Hammurabi. Absolute punishment for absolute crime. Regardless of the intent, the action is all that matters. Do you wish to uphold such a cruel justice?"
Fugo"I-I'm scared, Narancia, please... please..."
NaranciaWe are crying........... "... Fugo-- L-Look, I'm sorry, I just..." Just kinda. Hides his face in his hands.
izaya left the chat.
Mami"It..." Looks down. "No, not particularly. But until I'm able to stop murders before they happen, there's nothing I can do. I'm lucky in that I'm too small of a target for someone to harm right now."
Fugo"Did I... d-did I do something wrong..."
Narancia"N-No!! It's not you... okay? Don't think it's you..."
Fugo"Then what is it? Why? Why are you..." chokes up...
ReijiSilence. Reiji falls into a brief silence in reaction to her words. "... I suppose so. Regardless... even if you cannot stop a murder before it is carried out, there is still the notion of ensuring that the culprit does not go unapprehended. Isn't that right..."
Monobear left the chat.
Mami"But if we apprehend them, that means they're killed as well." Sighing, she looks up to Reiji again. "It's all gray. I wish it was in black and white."
Narancia... He's going to take a deep breath. A deep breath, and he'll just. Stand on his toes and whisper into Fugo's ear so. Very. Quietly. "... I... I-I did it-- I killed..." Just. Stops there and pulls away, hiding his head in his hands again. One (1) Sobbing Orange.
Clyde left the chat.
FugoPuts hand on mouth... twitches...
Fugo"Why would... you're lying..."
Reiji"Black and white has its flaws, as well. There is no perfected "justice", Tomoe." A smile plays on his lips, gloved digit pushing at his frames. "You've said it yourself. Justice is subjective. Everyone has their personal code of honor." ... He can hear yall over there, too, gayboys
Fugo"You wouldn't...! You're lying to me! This isn't... this isn't funny...!"
Yogi left the chat.
NaranciaJust. Stands there quietly. Not a word from the orange. Bye, Fugo.
Mami"But shouldn't something be absolute? If everyone operated by their personal code of honor, wouldn't that result in more deaths than a black and white justice system?" Fugo and Narancia are loud...... "If I don't cling to some sense of justice, Sakamaki-san, I might fall."
Fugo"Don't just... don't just look at me like that!"
Narancia... Okay. Looks down. He's not looking at you.
Fugo"Tell me that you're kidding... you're just... joking..."
FugoClings...
NaranciaYou're gay...
Fugo"You're joking... right?"
NaranciaBut no. Just kinda. Clings back. Shaking his head, though. "... It was an accident..."
FugoJust BAWLS...
Reiji"The only being in this plane of existence that has absolute power over what is truly "right" and "wrong"... is God himself." His voice is stern now. "Humans only have what they truly believe in. That is what makes them human." His hand drops at last, only to fold over his torso. "Tomoe Mami. Your code of justice is part of what makes you an individual. Clinging to that is the right thing to do. However... Expecting others to automatically follow your lead is foolish."
FugoBAWLS HIS EYES OUT...
NaranciaBAWLS BACK.
Mami"You're not that different, Sakamaki-san. I think you're very similar to a human rather than the monsters vampires are made out to be in the movies." Gentle smile. Look at this precious yellow Madoka. "I want to be an example for others. If I'm strong enough and convincing enough, maybe people will follow my lead then." Pauses and...looks to Fugo and Narancia again...
Mami"Do the two of you need a handkerchief?"
FugoLooks away...
Fugo"I-I'm fine..."
FugoNot fine at all.
Mami"You don't look fine."
NaranciaIS ACKNOWLEDGED. Jumps!! and just kinda. Shakes his head, "... N-No..."
FugoCrosses arms and stays quiet... sniff...
Reiji"... Haha. I suppose so." Thank you, Mami. That's probably the nicest anyone's been to him so far. "Horror film vampires are a joke. We are nothing like those cheap costumed portrayals." A sigh. "Someone will follow in your example if you're diligent enough and if they are willing to follow your lead." And he's quiet again. Mommy Mami's on the case.
Narancia... Looks down. Sniffs with the Fugo and just kinda. Sinks.
Fugo"You still have to sleep with me tonight... especially after..."
FugoVery wary of Yellow Madoka.
Mami"So you're not scared of crosses or allergic to garlic, then?" Another brief smile. Gently takes Reiji by the arm and pulls him over to Narancia and Fugo. Party time now. And by party I mean Mami's gonna try to clean Fugo's face for him. "If it's something bad, the two of you should just come out and say it. You might feel better that way."
FugoMUMI WHY
Narancia"... O-Okay. I'm sorry, Fugo--" JUMPS. ZIPS HIS FUCKING LIPS AND DOES NOT SAY A WORD.
FugoAvoids Mami's gaze...
ReijiAnd there he goes. Laughing. "No, no, of course not! Such items bear no effect on me."-- Oh. Here we go. He's being tugged over to the gay boys. He overheard y'all but he ain't saying a word. (:
MamiBecause I'm your boyfriend's mom you fucking strawberry. Looks between the two of them. Gets...worried...
Mami"It's bad, isn't it?" Looks up at Reiji. "It looks bad..."
NaranciaGrits his teeth... reaches back and grabs Fugo's wrist. Getting ready to sprint away with the strawberry tbh.
ReijiHums...
Reiji"'I killed'..."
FugoFlinches.
Mami"K-Killed...?"
NaranciaEYES WIDEN.
MamiLooks from Reiji to Narancia and Fugo. Worried look hidden behind a shaking smile. "A-A bug, right? A bug or an insect. N-Not a person..."
Fugo"What are you implying..."
Narancia"... Y-Yeah... I had a pet.. fish... a-and I killed it..."
NaranciaWow. he's an awful liar.
Fugo"H-he's sick in the head..."
NaranciaWow thanks.
ReijiSmiles. "Considering someone of your temperament, a murder would not be unlikely..." Flickers his gaze to Mami. "You're too soft."
Reiji"Justice is supposed to be blind."
Narancia... Shrinks up and just kinda. Pushes Fugo along. "... F-Fugo, get out of here, go...!"
FugoFUCK OFF VAMPIRE MAN
Mami"Narancia-kun..."
MamiUh oh she used the 'kun'.
Fugo"...I..."
NaranciaKEEPS. SHOVING. FUGO. "Go..."
Reiji"I know your secret."
Mami"Sakamaki-san..."
Fugo"No, what are you implying here...?"
MamiStarts...sniffling...
FugoIgnores orange for a sec.
Reiji"Ah, my mistake. It's no secret. Everyone still here has heard your garbled words."
Reiji"Last I recall... pets aren't allowed on school grounds."
Reiji"A slaughtered goldfish would /not/ garter such an emotional breakdown, and would /not/ result in you fleeing the scene without so much as clearing the air with me."
Mami"S-Stop..."
Reiji"You accidentally killed your pet fish... hilarious!"
NaranciaBites his lip. "... W-What if I... just really liked that fish..."
FugoGrits teeth...
Reiji"Nevertheless!"
Reiji"I truly believe the 'accident' bit."
Fugo"Narancia didn't do anything..."
Fugo"Accident or not..."
Reiji"... Our dear Headmaster's code of justice would not adhere to such claims."
Mami"R-Right! Because Ghirga-san is a kind person who wouldn't want to cause someone else pain..."
FugoSniffs.
Mami"So it had to be an accident."
NaranciaLooks down. Well.
Reiji"... He will still be tried and found guilty."
NaranciaFlinches.
MamiLooks down as well. "I don't want him to go on trial."
Fugo"Mami, there wasn't any accident, he didn't... do anything!"
Reiji"Unless... you plan on hiding your crimes and getting us all killed."
Mami"Then why won't Ghirga-san look me in the eye and say that?"
Reiji"Imbecile."
Narancia"... I-I..."
NaranciaOh god. He's sweating again. Look at him sweat.
ReijiSweat reaching his heels.
Reijinot really
Mami"Ghirga-san, even if I want to keep you safe..."
Reiji"Ghirga Narancia."
Narancia".... W-What..."
Reiji"Do you believe yourself to be "evil" for your crime?"
Fugo"Mami, there wasn't any accident, he didn't... do anything!"
Narancia"... Mhm."
FugoSTINK EYE GAME STRONG
Reiji"... I see."
Reiji"Your verdict has been given before the trial even began."
Mami"Fugo-san, please don't lie to me. It's hard on me, too..."
Fugo"He didn't do anything..."
Mami"Fugo-san."
Narancia"... F-Fugo..."
ReijiFlickers his gaze to Fugo. Dull gaze... dull vampire gaze...
Mami"I want to protect Ghirga-san too, but..."
MamiLooks like she's tearing up. Oh dear. "I have to uphold the laws of justice..."
Fugo"I'm not protecting him... if he really did kill someone... I would have..."
Reiji"Fool."
Fugo"I would have shunned him out..."
NaranciaFLINCHES.
Mami"T-That's not fair!"
Reiji"..."
Mami"He's your friend, isn't he?! You and Ghirga-san are close! You aren't allowed to cut him out..."
Reiji"... That's a lie."
Reiji"You're lying."
MamiClenches her hands into fists. "If Sakamaki-san killed, I wouldn't shut him out of my life."
NaranciaIs literally tearing the fuck up. Is pretty much dead inside right now. Thank you Fugo.
ReijiHe's not good at this sympathy game. At least not at expressing it.
MamiYells! "You aren't allowed to abandon people like that!"
ReijiShunned over something... why does that sound vaguely familiar.
Reiji"Tomoe."
Fugo"If he killed someone, I am! I am, okay! You're such a salty bitch! Stop acting like you know, me...!" Chokes and huffs.
ReijiClenches a fist...
Fugo"He didn't do anything..."
Reiji"Tomoe. Divert your attention to Ghirga."
MamiLooks from Reiji to Fugo. Worried but...gently places her hands on Narancia's shoulders anyway...
Mami"R-Right."
NaranciaFugo's gonna leave him. Incredible. Incredible. Absolutely incredible. He's going to be alone again. Alone until he's tried and found guilty. Doesn't even look at Mami, he's too busy being Ruined.
ReijiEyes flicker to Fugo. "Name-calling is such a low blow..."
Mami"Ghirga-san, please look at me."
Narancia... Looks up at Mami dully. Fugo'd recognize that look, it's the one that was on his face when he first found him! : )
Fugo"Why are you doing this to him...?"
Reiji"Why are you?"
MamiOh no that look Hurts. "Everything will be alright." Except it won't be. It really won't be. "No one is going to shun you. No one will abandon you. I promise."
Fugo"I'm... protecting him... because he didn't do anything..."
Reiji"... Denying the truth is not protecting him."
Narancia"... Mm." Looks back down. She's a liar.
FugoLooks away...
Reiji"Look at him. Take a good look at him."
Fugo"Even if he did do it, I'll..."
Reiji"... Or are you going to deny his existence as well?"
Mami"You can't give in, alright? Things will get better. I promise. So you have to keep going."
Fugo"I'll take the fall..."
Reiji"And take us all with you, and ruin him further."
NaranciaFlinches.
Mami"Narancia-kun, please..."
Reiji"Fufu. I see now. Are you the type of person who believes that your dear friend could do no wrong?"
Reiji"Your friend who confided delicate information to you, and you feverishly deny it? Go on and say things like "If it were true, I'd shun him"?"
Fugo"I can't let him die, even if he meant to do it..."
Reiji"And then turn around and say that you'd take the fall?"
Reiji"Idiot."
Narancia"... What do you want me to say. Everything's gonna be okay? It's not. I'm gonna die. All of my friends are gonna think I'm evil. I'm gonna die and my friends will hate me."
MamiHugs the tiny orange very tightly. "Don't despair. Please."
Fugo"I was trying to make you two back off! This doesn't concern you!"
NaranciaDespairing. Too late. ):
Fugo"Narancia, I..."
Mami"No one will think you're evil. It was an accident, wasn't it? It was an accident and it's not your fault."
Fugo"I'd never..."
Reiji"Your so-called 'devotion' is not above any code of justice." And now he's smiling. "You made it our business by making such a scenario public. By sobbing your eyes out."
Reiji"Fufu. You're a mess."
Narancia"They... they said just a few minutes ago... that they it was evil. That it was disgusting."
Mami"Because Diavolo actively sought out someone and killed them!"
Mami"You're different than him. You'll never be like that..."
Narancia"I... I don't wanna die..."
Fugo"Am I not allowed to grieve for my best friend? So I'm not allowed to do that now?"
Fugo"Who are you to tell me that I can't do that?"
Reiji"I never once said that. Review what you've said in the past few minutes. Remember that your words may never be taken back. Remember... that you are not above justice. Your friend will be tried."
Reiji"This Code of Hammurabi... will be followed through in full."
Mami"It can't be helped, Narancia..."
Reiji"It is inevitable. No amount of fighting can stop it."
FugoLooks it Mami...
Fugo"There has to be a way..."
Reiji"Fufu... There isn't."
MamiShaky smile. "Isn't there a rumor that the dead come back? So you could think of it as a nap..."
ReijiSuddenly he falls silent again.
FugoWaddles over to Narancia...
Narancia"... W-What..." That means... Diavolo... oh shit. Oh god. Oh shit. Oh fuck.
NaranciaSHAKING. AGAIN.
Reijilong live the king
FugoLOOKS AT MAMI?
Mami"Wh-What's wrong?!"
FugoSHAKING?
Reiji"..."
NaranciaHe's going to die and leave Fugo and Buccellati to deal with Diavolo. Jesus Christ. Guilt. Guilt. The guilt is strong in this one.
MamiLooks at Narancia. Looks at Fugo. Looks at Reiji???????? "Why are the two of you shaking...?"
Fugo"N-Narancia..."
Fugo"He... he'd..."
FugoStarts crying again cuz damn...
Reiji... Blinks. Looks at Mami. I don't fuckin know
Narancia"... I-I messed up... I..." Holds his head in his fucking hands. "I... no... if I just kept you out of it... if... I hadn't..." Come back. : )
Mami"Could the two of you explain...?"
FugoStays quiet.
Narancia"... T-The Boss..."
FugoNo.
FugoNO
Mami"Boss?"
Fugo"Narancia, no..."
Fugo"We can't... get people involved..."
Narancia... Looks down. He's right.
MamiFrowns.
Reiji... The asshole who introduced himself as "The Boss"...
Mami"If someone is bothering you, tell me. As a mahou shoujo, it's my duty to protect people." Even if she doesn't have her powers
Reiji"
Reiji"What."
Fugo"Listen, Narancia..."
Narancia... Looks at Mami. Dude.
Narancia"... Like. Sailor Moon....?"
ReijiDid you hear that?
Mami"Exactly."
ReijiThat was the sound of a record player screeching to a halt.
Narancia"... What the fuck..."
NaranciaI'M LAUGHING SO HARD
Reiji"No such thing exists."
FugoStops. The hell's a mahow shoojoo.
Mami"I exist."
Mami"It's what I am. A super high school level magical girl."
Reiji"... You're... taking this justice charade a little too seriously."
FugoDumbstruck. For some reason???
Reiji"... Let me see your ID."
MamiHands Reiji her ID. There it is. Mami Tomoe: SHSL magical girl
ReijiSTARES AT IT VERY HARD
Narancia... Holy shit. She's Sailor Moon.
Mami"I told you I'm a champion of justice."
FugoSailor Moon is just a saturday morning cartoon what the fuck.
Fugo?????????????????????????????/
Reiji... Holy fucking shit--
Reiji"... I..."
Reiji"I suppose I should not rule out the existence of mahou shoujo..."
ReijiConsidering he is a goddamn vampire.
FugoConsidering
FugoStand?
MamiSmiles!!!
Mami"Do you want to know what my magical powers are?"
Fugo"Mami, can you..."
ReijiHENSHIN
NaranciaHENSHIN......
Fugo"Can you stop him? The bear?"
Mami"He has my soul gem..."
Mami"Unless I get that back, I can't do anything."
FugoTwitches.
Fugo"I'll have to..."
Reiji"... No. Don't tell me you're a mahou shounen."
Mami"Which is a little bit concerning, since it needs to be cleansed or else I start..." Looks...down...
Narancia"... Ngh..."
Reiji... Blinks at Mami. Oh boy.
FugoActually. Planning on making everyone get the culprit wrong.
FugoSHSL Prodigy, ladies and gentlemen.
NaranciaFugo.
ReijiFuck off fugo
Narancia"... Didn't he say... there was a way for us to get our powers back..."
Mami"By killing..."
Reiji"... And getting away with it."
Narancia"..."
FugoHa.
FugoThere it is.
FugoPlan seeming better and better.
Mami"I have an idea."
Fugo"If everyone gets it wrong, you won't die and... you'll get Aerosmith back..."
Narancia"... H-Huh..."
Narancia"... Areosmith..."
Reiji"... We'll all die in his place, however."
Reiji"You included."
Mami"What if we faked a murder?"
Reiji"..."
Narancia"... Huh...?"
Mami"If I'm able to get my soul gem back, Monobear wouldn't stand a chance."
Reiji... That's... smart????
FugoMAD?
FugoTHATS A BETTER PLAN?
Naranciawtf let me get areosmith back

NaranciaSTOP
Mamiyou're in despair you fruit
Fugo"If that doesn't work..."
Narancia"... Mm..."
Mami"I'll take responsibility."
Mami"It's worth a shot, isn't it? If it fails, I'll be the one executed."
Fugo"No, Mami. I'll take responsibility. Vote for me. Don't vote for Narancia."
Fugo"That's it."
Reiji"..."
Reiji"We will.. come back eventually, right?"
Mami"That's the rumor!"
Reiji"The dead return... That... that's right."
Narancia"... If... we convince everyone... that Fugo killed Sabitsuki... then..."
Mami"I wish there was a way of confirming..."
Mami"That won't work."
Reiji"Narancia. You were dead. Your blood... I smelled it."
NaranciaLOOK AT HIS ENTIRE EXITENCE MAMI
Narancia"... Huh?"
Reiji"When the body was discovered, and again when you were..."
FugoTwitches.

Reiji"Both were the same." Haha.
Mamithat was before her time
FugoNo... don't bring that back up...
Mamii think
FugoCovers mouth...
ReijiA lil bit before
Narancia"... I-I really..."
Reiji"... You came back."
FugoREMEMBERS...
Reiji"And--" ... No. He won't mention Mami.
Mami"Ghirga-san was dead?"
Reiji".... At one point, yes. However, the culprit has been apprehended and executed accordingly."
Fugo"..."
Narancia"... I-I had bad dreams... and then Fugo acted weird... people kept calling me a ghost and Kouha got... mad that I was alive..."
FugoCLOSES EYES...
MamiFrowns to herself...
ReijiHahaha bearer of bad news Sakamaki.
Mami"Listen. Why don't we plan a fake murder?"
Narancia"I can't... remember it, but..."
Narancia"... What's a fake murder..."
Mami"A murder that isn't real."
Reiji"Someone play dead for awhile?"
Narancia"... But it won't count?"
Mami"No, I meant..."
Reiji... Oh now he gets it.
Narancia"... Suicide..."
MamiCrosses her arms with a frown. "Why don't we plan one? That way if we win or get executed, one of us will get our powers back."
Mami"I've heard even the losers of trials get a small reward for killing."
Reiji"... Mm."
Reiji"Do they, now...?"
Narancia... "R-Right."
FugoHaha. Purple Haze.
MamiNO
NaranciaFugo you are Not Allowed to DO THIS.
NaranciaLITERALLY LOOKS AT HIM LIKE. DON'T.
Mami"If I can get my soul gem, then I can transform."
Reiji... He doesn't have anything special to gain...
Reiji-- oh wait teleportation
Mami"I just need to make sure I don't run out the clock while I'm transformed..."
Narancia"Fugo. Purple Haze is..."
Fugo"I know."
FugoSighs...
NaranciaLooks back down. Jesus Christ.
Reiji"... Fufu. I suppose it would only be appropriate to consider us four a team."
Narancia"... Are we? Haha...!!"
FugoSmall smile. Very small. Microscopic.
Fugo"Mami. Reiji."
Reiji"Hm?"
Fugo"Vote for me, still."
Mami"I can't do that..."
Mami"I won't vote at all."
NaranciaGrits his teeth.
Narancia"... Fugo. I don't want you to die. But it's... it's just a nap, right?"
Fugo"If we die, we come back. But Narancia will have Aerosmith... there's not much to lose..."
Reiji"... This is all for the greater good along the line, isn't it..."
Narancia"... All of you..."
Fugo"That's just it."
MamiFrowns to herself even more.
Mami"But Gavin-san..."
Reiji"... I've already prepared an argument towards Fugo's guilt."
Mami"Let me speak to Gavin-san."
Narancia"No!! We can't let anyone know about this!"
Narancia"The more people who know, the more..."
Reiji"I cannot perfect it lest I know all the details, but that's what the trial is for."
Fugo"We can at least try... I'll even act suspicious beforehand..."
Mami"He'll ferret us out."
Narancia"... Okay. Here's my plan!!"
Narancia"We can say I let Fugo in, right? Because my door isn't broken or anything. Sabitsuki attacked me first, so... maybe we can say that Fugo defended me."
Mami"They'll ask for injuries as proof."
Narancia"She's sick, she's really really sick, and... it was an accident because she was having an attack. I... I kicked her in the stomach and then she... you know..."
Reiji... Smiles. He can beat up Fugo.
NaranciaDude. That's my bae.
ReijiMaybe if he pays Craig with sandwiches, he can beat up Fugo.
Fugo"She's sick. Even if she attacked, it wouldn't leave a mark..."
Narancia"I mean... she punched me in the face, dude, and look at me. I'm clean."
MamiWorried look...
Fugo"She's incredibly weak..."
Reiji... aw
Narancia"And... Like in the trial where you were almost guilty, Mami!! If I defend Fugo enough, people will start to think it's him!"
ReijiWhile the gay boys are enveloped in their gay plans... pats Mami's shoulder.
MamiSWEATS
Mami"T-That wasn't on purpose!"
Narancia"I know! But... this time it will be!"
Fugo"People are here are hurting. They just want to blame someone..."
Fugo"...I'll take the blame."
Reiji"Fugo."
Fugo"And they'll go with it."
MamiCovers Reiji's hand with her own. Nii-san. "Right..."
Reiji"Be very sparing when you take the blame."
Reiji"Humans are more likely to veer towards a party in denial... than one who accepts their fate."
Mami"You should try accusing others."
Mami"It'll make you look more desperate near the end."
FugoAccuses Kouha. Asshole.
Mami"Gavin-san will be a problem..."
Fugo"Didn't you say he'd help us?"
Mami"If you let me talk to him."
Mami"Then again...he might think less of me..." Looks down.
FugoBlinks.
Narancia"... But if we all get out... it'll be okay, right?"
Reiji"Give Gavin a different culprit name."
Reiji"As a safety precaution."
Fugo"That's counterproductive."
Fugo"We need to tell him the truth."
Reiji"Can he truly be trusted?"
MamiLooks down even more. "...What happens when we all get out, though?"
Narancia"... Everything'll go back to normal! Me and Fugo'll go back to the mafia and... it'll be the best!!"
NaranciaNo it won't Narancia. Because you're dead.
ReijiThis whole plan is reckless behavior. Recklessness covered with pretty words and plans.
Mami"...Ah."
FugoBitter smile... ha ha...
MamiThat means she'll be alone again...
Reiji... He'll be home with his family. Who doesn't give a shit about him.
Narancia"You two can come to Italy with us!!"
Reiji"... Haha. I can't."
Mami"I don't think that's possible..."
Narancia"... Huh? Why not?"
FugoLooks away...
Reiji"... In my case, I have brothers to look after. Without me... the household will simply fall apart."
Mami"I have a city to protect."
ReijiReiji "Damage Control" Sakamaki.
Mami"Other mahou shoujo wouldn't protect the citizens. They'd only hunt Witches..."
Mami"And people in my city would die."
Narancia... Looks down. Shit.
Reiji"... Some of my brothers are here in Hope's Peak as well..."
FugoUgh.
Mami"You should do your best to protect them, Sakamaki-san."
Narancia"... Maybe they can come with us... and then-- Mami...! I don't know what Witches are, but you can hunt those in our city, too!"
ReijiThe problematic ones, anyways. "They're oddly quiet."
Reiji... Blinks at Narancia. Moving the entire Sakamaki mansion is...
FugoThinks. Just thinks.
MamiLooks at Narancia. Smiles and shakes her head.
Narancia"We're like a big family!! We just kinda sit around all day, but when we do stuff, it's incredible!! We help everyone in our territory out! There's Mista, Abacchio, Buccellati, Giorno, and then me and Fugo!!"
NaranciaLOOK AT HIM HE IS SO HAPPY THINKING ABOUT THIS
ReijiThinking that Narancia and Ayato would get along surprisingly well.
MamiMami's being reckless now that she has friends just like the anime.....
ReijiEither that or destroy each other.
Fugo"Italy has its share of evils."
Narancia"That's what we'd be there for, right!!"
Mami"If there are murders or suicides, there's probably many Witches."
Mami"But...fighting alone is difficult..."
Narancia"... Stands?"
FugoStand?
MamiStand?
Reiji"..." Isn't sure how much use he would be...
Fugo"Mami...since you've told us about your power..."
Reiji"I'm not a combative type."
NaranciaHe is so happy thinking about this though. Look at him. He has no idea the moment he steps off this island he's dead.
FugoLooks at Narancia.
Fugo"Narancia and I have powers, too..."
NaranciaTilts his head at Fugo. "... Yeah! Our Stands!"
Mami"Stands...?"
Reiji"Stands..."
Reiji... Night stands?
Narancia"Stands are like... the... ghostly projections of yourself? I think? Is that how it's worded..."
Reiji"... Supernatural phenomena, then."
Mami"Ah!"
ReijiJUST LIKE VAMPIRES AYY
Mami"Like my powers, then!"
Narancia"... Kinda!! Except we're not Sailor Moon!"
Fugo"Purple Haze is..."
FugoGrunts.
Narancia"My Stand's called Areosmith... it's a little plane! It shoots like a machine gun, shoots bombs, and I can use it as a radar to find people!!--" FREEZES at Purple Haze.
NaranciaGrunts.
Mami"Purple Haze? Is that the name of your finishing move? Mine is Tiro Finale."
Fugo"Purple Haze spreads a deadly virus that eats away at any thing..."
Narancia"... It's...
Mami"A-Ah..." Shudders.
Narancia"
FugoHaha... he can't...
FugoControl it very well...
Reiji"... Is it possible to study the virus's attributes in detail?"
ReijiInterested.
Narancia"Uh... this is gonna sound... really bad... but it'd probably be good if... you know. He didn't get Purple Haze back..." Looks at Fugo. Sorry bro.
Fugo"It melts the body in the 30 seconds maximum. There is no escape."
Reiji"Disappointing." He wanted to study it. ):
Mami"I could withstand that. As long as my soul gem remains unharmed, my body can regenerate..."
Fugo"I wouldn't want it back, anyways."
Narancia".... Dude."
Reiji"Accelerated healing..." ... he could regain that, too... hmm...
Fugo"The range is only five meters but... it'll swing at anything because..."
Reiji"A lack of control?"
Mami"You're still learning it, aren't you?"
FugoTwitches.
ReijiTwo different wavelengths featuring reiji sakamaki and mami tomoe
MamiSmiles softly. "When I was a new mahou shoujo, I couldn't aim very well. It's a miracle I wasn't eaten by a Witch..."
Mami"I had to spend a long time learning how to summon guns and use my ribbons."
Fugo"No, Mami, you misunderstood."
MamiBlinks.
Fugo"Purple Haze is of low intelligence. I can't control it either way. It can kill me without hesitation..."
FugoRemembers that day. In the stadium.
Reiji"Well. Then let's not get Purple Haze back for you."
Fugo"Murder incarnate..."
Mami"There has to be something..." Frowns to herself.
Reiji... Isn't that a song or something... purple haze... purple haze...
Fugo"I've gotten infected at least twice..."
Mami"Maybe you could make a contract."
FugoPoints at abdomen. Points at mouth.
Fugo"It hurt so much... I would have rather died..."
Mami"Then you could get rid of it. I'm sure Kyubey would help you if your wish was strong enough. Although I've never met a male magical girl..."
Narancia... Stares at his mouth.
Narancia"... Dude. When the hell'd that happen."
Fugoyou were dead.... lel...
Reiji"... Wouldn't they just be "magical boys", then?"
Narancialel......
Fugo"Magical boy?"
Reiji"Mahou shounen."
Mami"I suppose so. But I've only ever seen Kyubey contract with girls my age."
Fugo"What, I get to transform like Sailor Moon? Er."
Mami"Most of the time, we don't last that long..."
Reiji"That sounds sleazy."
Mami"Well, I had a wish too." Smiles. "I accepted my contract with ease and here I am!"
FugoFugo would lose it on day 1. No. Bad idea. Moving on.
Narancia"... Dude. I bet you'd wear a skirt with a bunch of stupid holes in it. By the way, speaking of--" Pokes at his bare hips. Hey. "I bet everyone'd see your dick, you don't wear underwear, do you? Hahaha! You'd be the Dick-ical Girl!!"
Mami"Narancia Ghirga."
Fugo"I do wear underwear...!"
ReijiCringes. That wasn't even a clever play on words.
Narancia"... You do?" Stares. Pokes at his hips some more. I don't see any underwear, son.
Reiji... Should he pants Fugo...
NaranciaPlease.
FugoCovers face.
Fugo"I'm..."
ReijiDid he lose enough sanity to merit a loss of maturity.
FugoHolds back.
Narancia"... Oh my god."
Narancia"Is it."
Narancia"... Dude."
ReijiHe can't lose composure in front of Mami tho bye
Fugo"What are you thinking?!"
Mami"W-What?"
NaranciaGRINS. SHOVES HIS HAND DOWN FUGO'S PANTS. WEDGIE. BURN IN HELL, PANNACOTTA FUGO.
Reiji"Oh, my."
FugoSCREECHES
Narancia"GYAHAHA!!" LOOK AT HIS THONG. HAHAHA.
Fugo"YOU... YOU!!"
MamiCovers her eyes.
Narancia"HAHAHA! DUDE! YOU WEAR A THONG!"
ReijiPushes up his glasses and looks away, grinning and biting back a laugh...
Reiji"How improper..."
Mami"Oh dear..."
Fugo"I'LL KILL YOU! NOT A WORD!!!"
Reiji"Y... your secret is safe with us... Ffufu--"
Narancia"You're at my mercy, dude. I could ruin your fucking life."
Reiji"The secret of what sort of undergarments you wear in order to cast the illusion of going commando..."
ReijiThis is it.
Mami"Going...commando...?"
NaranciaOkay how many turns has this fucking stinto taken
Reiji600
Mamilord
Fugo"I'd never go commando! Why would I want to allude to that..."
Fugo"I-I just..."
Fugo"It's comfortable, that's all!"
NaranciaHums. Drums his hands against Fugo's bare fucking hips to the tune of Snoop Dogg.
ReijiCan't fathom how a string of elastic going up your buttcrack is "comfortable" at all.
FugoELBOWS NARANCIA IN THE FACE
Mami"Careful!"
NaranciaSCREAMS
MamiPlaces her hands on her hips. "Do I have to mother you too, Fugo-san?"
Reiji"Oh, dear. This took a violent turn."
Fugo"That was so gay! Don't touch me!"
Narancia"Dude, you can't call me gay, you wear a thong!!"
Reiji"Alright, alright, both of you knock it off."
MamiSuddenly!!! Laughs.
ReijiGod, does he have to damage control these babies, too
Narancia,,, blinks. looks at mami?
Fugo"Well..."
Mami"I never thought I'd feel like this again. Ah..."
Narancia"... Huh?"
Fugo"At least I don't just touch people's hips!"
FugoLooks at Mami.
Reiji... Looks off. Gives a little smile. So this is what family should be like... isn't it...?
MamiSmiles. "It's like a family."
Reiji... He and Mami had the exact same thought. Incredible.
Mamiwah
Narancia... Smiles a little. "... I-It is... huh..."
FugoFeelin kinda warm...
Mami"I'm glad I could feel this way again."
FugoRubs arm...
Narancia"... Next trial... everything's gonna turn out okay, right...?"
Fugo"Yes... I'll make sure I don't miss a beat..."
Narancia"Even if it doesn't go the way we want... I'll get a little piece of Areosmith back... and we can work from there!"
Fugo"I can't let you die..."
Reiji"... We'll all do our best to ensure the best possible results."
Narancia... Nods. "... I-I don't wanna see you die, but you'll be back... all of you, okay? If you don't come back, then... I'll kick your asses!"
Reiji"You need not worry for me in particular. A vampire does not die so easily."
Fugo"You'll still stay at my room... right?"
NaranciaBlinks and looks at Fugo. "Yeah!!"
MamiSmiles softly. "Everything will be alright. As long as my soul gem is safe, I will be fine."
FugoYawns.
Narancia"Either way... we win!! So it'll be okay." Nods. "... Thanks... guys, I..." Looks down. Doesn't wanna get gay, but...
Mami"Even if something bad happens, I'll be there to welcome you home. All of you."
Reiji"... The sentiments... are mirrored back at all of you."
Fugo"I hope things stay like this... until we part..."
Narancia"Yeah!!"
Mami"R-Right. When we get out..." Looks down.
NaranciaBlinks up at Fugo. Still curious about his mouth, but...
Reiji"... Perhaps distance won't be enough to sever any bonds made in the process."
Fugo"Narancia, I'm getting sleepy..."
Narancia"... Yeah! There's phones and stuff--"
Narancia"... Dude. You're such a baby."
Reiji"... Fufu. This is the time I normally wake up." Yall are weak.
Fugo"Shut up! I woke up pretty early today!"
Mami"I'm used to staying up quite late as well."
Fugo"I'm just... exhausted..."
Reiji"... Perhaps now is a good time to call it a night."
Mami"Mm, yes...."
Narancia"... Yeah. Um. I gotta make a couple stops, first, 'cause a couple people wanted to see me--" Looks at his MM. Hey, Dean. "But... I'll meet you in your room later, okay, Fugo?"
Fugo"Don't be late. I'll kill you."
Narancia"I'll kill you first, you shitty asshole."
Reiji"Please don't kill each other."
Mami"Yes. It would be upsetting."
NaranciaHuffs.
