[unquestion]

Play what?

[remarch]

"Prime suspects."

[He takes a drag of his cigarette, and a sip of his own cup of coffee.]

[familiarized]

. . . of what . . .

[lackspresence]

Did they commit a crime?

[unquestion]

[ WHAT THEY SAID I GUESS?? ]

[remarch]

Who knows what lies in their hearts? Not me.

[familiarized]

. . . Okay.

[lackspresence]

. . . Mm, then. . .

[ looking over at the board ]

Firstly, would it be possible to tell us what each column represents?

[remarch]

That wouldn't be much of a mystery.

[lackspresence]

Then. . .

[ looking over to Lark and Absinthe ]

Should I read these, so that we can pick a few?

[familiarized]

Since I do not know what this is for I do not care which ones we pick and what we do with them . . .

[unquestion]

Please do, Kuroko Tetsuya-san.

[ although I can read them ]

[lackspresence]

[ I have no idea where the chair is so

reading off the names aloud ]

[unquestion]

... I believe I can guess a fair number of them... I-I guess the question is, would we rather ask him for names that are most likely misplaced, or names that might help us figure out what the columns mean...?

[familiarized]

. . . but what is the point . . .

[lackspresence]

If we try the former, then I think we might be able to figure out the latter. . .

[unquestion]

In that case, it's a little strange... for so many of Shell to be together like that, isn't it?

[ to Absinthe ]

I just... would like things to stay as they were before we came. Though by now... that might be impossible...

[familiarized]

Ah . . . well. Do your best then . . .

[lackspresence]

[ okay I guess I'll pick and choose Shells. ]

"Minty Fresh" and "Target the Healer" . . . where do those two belong, Detective-san?

[remarch]

Minty Fresh was a doll in the top category. Target The Healer was in the middle category.

[unquestion]

Does it matter what order they're in, within the categories...?

[remarch]

They're all in the same boat together.

The dame is quickly running out of time, and questions I'm willing to answer. It's been a long day, and it'll be a longer night.

[lackspresence]

[ mm, well, I'm gonna unpin those both and put them in their respective columns neatly then ]

[unquestion]

So... would you like us to... put them back?

[remarch]

Me? There's nothing I want but a cold drink at the end of a long night, and a dame who won't stab me in the back for two cents and a wink.
