[ akechi isn't particularly fond of reaching out to people in the hotel, but... he's realized it may actually be his best source of information, so he's biting the bullet and posting to the network. he Actually Tries to be polite about it all, so his message is chill. ]

Hello, all.

Since I've arrived here I've been exploring the place, but since it really is so huge... I was hoping I could gather some information from the rest of you.

I'd appreciate hearing about the various floors or rooms you've come across and what was in them. The strangest things you've seen, even.

There's only so much I can discover on my own, unfortunately, and I know that people have had... experiences, to say the least.

I see.

[ no he doesn't?? what is with this place wanting to get people to dance and hold hands and learn about each other. what happened to just either meeting people the normal way or living a lonely existence. ]

There does seem to be a bit of a theme going on, doesn't there?

[ and because he can't help himself, ]

Did you sing or dance?

[icyspicy]

Maybe someone at the hotel thinks bonding is important.
I did. Dancing mostly. It seemed a small price to pay to walk away unscathed.

[laevateinns]

Of course they do.

[ why was everything always about bonds... akechi hates this, actually. ]

I suppose it is a small price... depending on how good a dancer you are and how many are watching.

[icyspicy]

Ha. I'm long past the point in my life where I might care what others think of me. Besides, my life was on the line.

[ HMMPH. what a well-adjusted person-- if he's telling the truth. that kind of sounds like something akechi would say during an interview when he was on the outs with the public, but not actually mean.

it's hard to tell via text how true it is, anyway. ]

How lucky for you, then, considering how embarrassing such a thing could have been otherwise.

I suppose one's life is worth more than embarrassment, though...

[icyspicy]

You care very much about appearances, don't you?

[laevateinns]

[ what the hell. who does this guy think he is!!

...he's not WRONG but that makes it WORSE. ]

And I suppose you're so much better for not caring at all? Please, tell me all about how I can free myself from society or some bullshit by pretending I don't care what people think.

[icyspicy]

Goodness me. It was a simple observation, but it seems I've hit quite the nerve.

[laevateinns]

[ and akechi supposes he thinks he's better than him for THAT, TOO.

...okay. he probably should calm down, but he's gotten so annoyed so quickly here. ]

Why bother sharing an observation if it serves no purpose?

[icyspicy]

Who says it doesn’t? I learned an awful lot about you just now.

[laevateinns]

[ UGH. as an (ex)detective (no matter how many fake cases he solved, he did do some real ones)-- akechi gets that.

it's such a fucking tell to react like that.

he just can't decide whether he cares or not anymore. (it kind of goes back and forth moment to moment--) ]

I suppose that is exciting, isn't it? Discovering things about people. I'm sure you're very proud.
