Hmmmm? Where may she have gone~?

[Keiichi's voice filters through the journals. Those who know him will rejoice in noticing that he sounds male again... Until they take notice of the strange tone he talks with. It's not an odd tone in him, it's sweet and playful even, but somehow it holds a cord of danger in it.

His voice sounds distant and there's no image in the journal, seems to have activated on its own and that Keiichi isn't paying attention to it.]

That small and sneaky rat, she has a knack for surviving no matter what, doesn't she? Maybe I should take things seriously, games are fun but I'm already tired of this one. Rats should be exterminated anyway, right? We don't want them biting our good and innocent kids anymore.

[Rummaging sounds, he seems to be looking for something before he moves to the journal. He smiles calmly and relaxed, a normal Keiichi smile... Except that his eyes are gold. But that can't be necessarily bad, right?

He opens his mouth to say something but thinks it better apparently.]

If anyone needs me, I'll be doing a small hunt. Oh, yeah, has everyone regained their senses by the way? Or are you all still having fun with the Malnosso?

[Look who's talking.

Keiichi will be found around the village, apparently searching for something or just observing around. He would look normal, if it wasn't because besides the gold eyes he's dressed in definitively different clothes to what he would usually wear, and somehow in person, it's easy to say there's something... Different in him even if one ignores his appearance.

If your name is Miyoko or Takano it would be wise to stay out of his sight unless you have someone with you.]

[......]

Keiichi... are you feeling all right?

[he knows the answer, but he has to stall while he figures out what to do. If this experiment caused him to go into level 5...

well. He needs more information.]

[A filter? And that question... Right, right, Keiichi's facade, infected with the Hinamizawa Syndrome and what not. Sometimes he thinks he takes too much trouble in acting up.]

I'm not talking about any human if you think that, it's literally a rat... Unless it's someone affected by the experiment but she was around before it started.

[He sighs. Lies? Not really. Primo could never see Lambdadelta's piece as anything but that. Of course he also sees as pieces Keiichi and the others, but that's what they are after all. And one doesn't treat the chess pieces as people, right? And she really is a rat, even her 'tragic' past which built her up to be a monster is nothing but pathetic. Rena had it worse and she endured it. If that girl wanted to give up so much and become something else besides a person, why not give up in the orphanage and become a corpse?

And she definitively was around already before the experiment started. See? No lies at all. Not his fault if people don't understand his meanings, then again, pieces will unlikely be able to turn and see who moves them, right?]

Though I admit that I've gotten fed up with it. And the experiment shenanigans don't help, but it's not as if I'm scratching myself, you know.

[But there's still something off.]

[There's still something wrong here... namely, him laughing like that over the thought of harming anything, even if it is actually an animal. The animals here talk after all - he'd even referred to it as "she" several times.

But, he stays collected.]

I could come take her for you.

[But she is his prey, Minato. It's not good to mess with others' preys, you know.]

Nah, you're already bothered enough by our own problems to add to the pile.

It's not a problem. [nor is it optional :|]

Probably not, but I still have some pride, you know. I would still like to do a few things on my own without having to have a babysitter.

[Specially when said babysitter may get in his way. It's not such a big deal, she's a rat and is up to no good. Not even as a child, but he can't really expect Minato to understand that.]

[................]

Don't hurt her.

[It's just a rat, one that shouldn't exist anyway. And who will never be able to do any good for anyone. But Minato is an ally, and probably what he would have called a friend if Primo had really been just Keiichi. He is someone in whose hands he knows Rika and Hanyuu will be all right, as well as any other piece from Hinamizawa that could ever turn up in the future.

He doesn't like that Minato won't let him do his things freely, but it's not as if he even knows who he's talking about. He wouldn't defend her if he knew, right?]

I suppose hurting would just put me at its level. I'll just scare her a bit so she doesn't sneak in anymore.

Even the most simple animals are capable of learning that easily, right?

[Though he won't make promises. Not his fault if the kid ends dying by some... Accident.]

Edited 2010-12-04 20:27 (UTC)

[he still doesn't like this at all, Keiichi. Something is wrong and he's got a bad feeling about leaving him to his own devices.]

I'm going to stop by later.

Sure, I'll be back by then.

See you, then.

[translation: I am getting my coat and doing a little hunting myself]
