[ investigation ]

[ There's a moment of panic, one in which he freezes in place himself upon hearing the giggle coming from the center of the hallway. That, alkong with the sight of the other man stuck to the ground, makes new shivers run up his spine.

It passes, and he's colder for having stopped.

Ignoring the comment, he looks around the hallway uselessly for the source. ]


Please excuse our intrusion...

[ He sucks in such a sharp breath that he finds himself covering his mouth with his sleeve, coughing. Without thinking, he walks closer to the wall, despite knowing nothing is there. ]

Can you let us go? I don't want the first thing I do here to be putting someone out of their misery... Freezing to death is a horrible way to die, so I'll be kinder than that. Or maybe we can trade...

[ Better work fast with that sort, Akechi. He's digging through his pocket and taking out a wallet now, none too optimistic, but he left his ice pick at home so words are what they have. ]

I have cash, a drawing that I did earlier, [ Which is a very cute rat (Odasaku) and a very nightmare looking one (Dazai.) Nope, that's it for he wallet, putting that back, ] a deck of cards, and a candy bar, a lighter... [ He blinks slowly, canting his head, ] I have a pocket knife too, so I can bleed on the floor. It could be a bonding activity.

[ In case it wasn't clear he doesn't know what demons hanging out in a principal's office wants or how school bonding events really work, but he's definitely looking at Akechi like he's seriously considering this last suggestion. It's a quiet look, devoid of any real malice, but bracing. ]

Or something else.
