[ sweet kumon. ]

Maybe... a goat with opposable thumbs?

[becomemod]

Stop assigning me actual goat...

[ballies]

[ STOP look at this puppy face. ]

Give me a name and then I'll be able to stop.

[becomemod]

[ He really is just a guy. ] My name is Tsuzuru Minagi. It's probably better not to use it in public.

[ballies]

[ just a little guy. ]

Tsuzuru. Oh, right. Secret identities stay secret outside of the private chats?

[becomemod]

Yeah. I trust you not to spread it around. Sorry to ask you to keep more secrets from your partner.

[ballies]

Just let me know if you ever let him know. One less thing to be keeping from him.

[becomemod]

We haven't really talked at all, but sure. If I let him know, I'll let you know... or I guess he can let you know? However it works out.

[ballies]

There are a lot of you. And I guess it makes more sense to be closer to your team leader than most other people?

[becomemod]

Yeah, I definitely get it. There's a lot more of you than there are of us... but it's hard to talk to everybody. Is he getting along with Mouse?

[ballies]

He told me they made origami last week. So, it seems like they're getting along well.

[ thank god. ]

[becomemod]

[ There's a soft sigh of relief. ] That's good to hear. Most of the teams are getting along okay, from what I've heard.

[ballies]

Most of them...?

[becomemod]

It feels like Tiger is having a hard time.

[ballies]

[ she's bringing up the profiles thoughtfully. ]

... They have an interesting group, I guess. [ argalia (derogatory) ]

[becomemod]

That's... a way to put it. [ Sorry for Argalia, Tiger... ]

[ballies]

...

Bluntly, it was mostly Argalia.

[becomemod]

I didn't get that guy at all, and I'm sure that I don't want to. [ Scary. ]

[ballies]

That's a good thing, and I agree! It's easier just not knowing!

[becomemod]

I've never met anyone like that back home... To be fair, my world is really, really normal compared to all this.

[ballies]

I--

[ ... well. ]

I've not met someone like that. But there was a serial killer was on another level of unhinged. A couple of them actually. But it's not like regular people tend to run into people like that too often.

[becomemod]

[ Alarmed, but this is part of her job. ] I... can't imagine having to deal with multiple serial killers. Are you guys doing okay?

[ballies]

Police, remember?

[ part of the job, literally. ] I didn't deal with both of them, but we did deal with the second one.

[becomemod]

[ He knows! He knows it's part of the job, but he also feels like he should be worried for them. ] Are they at least behind bars now...?

[ballies]

The first one’s dead— or, both of them are. And so’s the second one, now I think about it.

We just don’t know who killed the Half-Body killer yet, although… we have an idea but I’m not sure I like where it’s going.

[ but! yes. serial killers, wow. ]

Enough of that though, I had a favour to ask!
