You know... This was the last place I think I would ever make a return trip to

[redcloakedthief]

[So she's back. And in one piece. Heh.]

Now that isn't fair. I've been on my best behavior.

[sweeperesque]

So everyone in the place isn't teaming up to hunt you down? Well, that's a relief. I thought otherwise for a sec.

[redcloakedthief]

[And he pauses, and the look he gives is serious.]

No. I think everyone is too busy attempting to hunt down our new mystery murderer.

[sweeperesque]

[...]

I may just have to join in. A murder, huh?

[redcloakedthief]

Unfortunately so.

[He was worried that that is where you disappeared to.]

But trust me, it gets stranger.

[sweeperesque]

Yeah? What do you mean by that?

[And no, she's not shuffling around her apartment and rummaging through her drawers to find some bullets right now. :|]

[redcloakedthief]

[And this he approves of, because being armed while there is a murderer on the loose is generally good practice.

His tone is nonchalant.]

The murder victim came back to life.

[sweeperesque]

[... yes. Self-defense. That is precisely what she's aiming to get done.]

Did he? Has he been interrogated?

[redcloakedthief]

I don't think so.

[A pause.]

People have been disappearing left and right, Saya.

[You...And Guy.]

[sweeperesque]

You don't need to tell me that. And apparently people come back after disappearing, whether they've died or...

[No, she doesn't have a reason for her disappearance. Hm.]

Well, if it's any consolation, I don't remember dying this time.

[redcloakedthief]

...Sometimes they come back.

[For Guy is still not here.]

[sweeperesque]

Point.

It's looking to be a bit of a random process.

[redcloakedthief]

[Well, as much as he trusts Saya at this point, he's still quick to go back to the cheery grin.]

Most things here are, I think. It's as if they like to try to keep us on our toes.

[sweeperesque]

Looks like it.

[She pauses for a bit, going over a mental checklist of things she had to cover. The topic of the murder is rather exhausted for the moment, seeing as for once it looks like Matthew doesn't have as many answers as she expected. So... she goes to the next subject she wanted to cover.]

And how've you been dealing with all of it anyway, Matthew?

[redcloakedthief]

[Huh. An interesting question, but he just shrugs.]

Well enough, I'd imagine.

[Better than most people; he is no stranger to poison.]

Why do you ask?

[sweeperesque]

I have been gone for a while. Hope you weren't too lonely~
