DAY 6 (POST TRIAL) ALFENDI & ELIZABETH

[selfdenying]

["Trust her".]

[That's what his notebook says. That's what he says. Or another him. It's still strange, that not only has he been awake for this long without blacking out, but now he's learned there's another self that writes him notes and ever so nicely informs him what's going on.]

[And apparently, his other side has nothing but good things to say about Elizabeth. He doesn't get it, but...fine, alright. He'll trust her. He has things to share, and to have someone to share them with is a boon.]

[He'll approach her some time before the party, his notebook tucked under his arm. It's always a good time for first meetings.]

So, you're the woman to go to when a man wants to share his thoughts on some murders, are you?

Comments

[tearable]

[ Liz is desperately trying to bundle some blankets and pillows in her arms, oops. He stops her and her eyes narrow. ]

Depends on who's asking. [ Seriously, she means that. ] Trust doesn't get you far here, but sure as hell don't have anything to worry about with me.

[selfdenying]

The real Alfendi Layton, that's who.

[He sounds very confident about that statement, like there's no question that he's the real, genuine article. He taps at the notebook tucked under his arm.]

The other guy said that you were an ally. A person one could share thoughts with. And well now, do I have quite a lot of thoughts for you!

[He grins. It feels odd, just blabbing out things to a stranger, but if his other self can trust her, then so can he.]

For one thing, I voted for Ciel, you know.

[tearable]

Color me flattered. [ Elizabeth tosses one pillow his way - if he's going to talk, he can help. ] I don't plan on making friends anymore than I'm making enemies. I want out, but I'm not going to sell my soul to do so. So... good cop or bad cop - you're safe with me.

[ UGH. Whatever! Asshole Alfendi may be blunt, but she stops her movement when he mentions Ciel. ]

Why? He's a child, is he not?

[selfdenying]

[He manages to catch it, but not after it kind of bonks off of his face. He frowns down at it, but just kind of holds it to himself awkwardly. Fine. He'll help ://///]

He checked out Adam's leg, didn't he? And ever so conveniently, he found nothing. That was certainly a strike against him.

[He laughs.] Seems rather suspicious to me. Plus, he's the perfect little participant, like Alice said. He stays in the shadows enough not to draw much attention, but participates enough so people won't think he's up to no good.

I TYPED THIS WHOLE TAG IN CAPS WHILE WATCHING A TV SHOW it was 100x more funny

[tearable]

He certainly did. [ Elizabeth says with a narrowed gaze. She didn't like that - Alice was bringing up points and then the insistence of injuries... it was curious for her. ] I would suggest they were working together but Adam was not a staff member. He seemed to have danced with the devils but had no guilt himself.

Well. Except for his revenge.

[ Elizabeth clutches onto the fabric a bit tighter. ]

Ciel was the one who brought the injuries up and then insisted I go up for slaughter. I didn't like that, selfishly if I must say, but -

[ Yes... she'll finally say: ]

I voted for him as well.

ELIZABETH YELLS A LOT: THE THREAD

[selfdenying]

Adam not being a staff member...quite the curious thing, isn't it? That he was brought into the fold and could murder as he pleased. Can anyone become a honorary staff member? A little thing to ponder...

Ah, did he now? [That's not something he knew about.] And good show, good show! Looks like you have the mind to match the pretty face.

[Thanks....Alfendi.......]

I voted for him because it was too convenient for Adam to step up right when Ciel was being accused. He managed to drag all the votes to himself, the little vermin, and his confession was the distraction that the other needed. That's my opinion, anyways.

[tearable]

Well, if someone sent Kei, an innocent to attack Bigby... could that have been the same for the staff? Could they have ordered someone to kill with the right initiative?

[ That's the way she's looking at it. ]

He was insistent that we should search someone else for injuries, as if he knew? I don't believe it's enough to condemn him but it's odd.

[ GOd shes more than a pretty face!! ]

Who confesses? I don't - ...I don't care if a child dies in that regard. I think - [ Her head hurts. ] - I think ...

[ God, no she has to shake the cobwebs out. ]

We're suppose to survive. We're suppose to do good and Adam chose then? What if I was to take the fall? Or Shijima? Or Bigby? Why did Ciel make the difference?
