how gay is hideki? he seems pretty gay but das just me. *ollies outtie*

"What the fuck kind of question is that?! Who the hell wants to know?"

((The answer: Hella. And Nori would know, he’s just as gay as he is. What can I say, Hideki’s have a thing for punks and this punk has a thing for a certain composer.))

Dani’s words will now last forever along with Hideki’s face of disapproval.

Hikari gave the USB a blank stare. What could be on there, what is it that shook him up so much? She gingerly picked it up and examined it. She looked back to Nori. “…” Normally she would take it without thought, but it seemed wrong to not trade off a piece of evidence in return.

"Here, we’ll trade" Reluctantly she held out the photo to him, it was hard to part with but Eisuke was the only other person in the school she really knew well enough to show and she already had. "It’s a pretty important piece of evidence as well. This goes without saying but don’t show Tomoko" She gave him a sad smile. "Maybe you could show it to Mina? I don’t really know her so…. but whatever you do with it keep it safe. I’ll keep the USB safe as well so don’t worry."

#shsl-goldenrecords #Hikari #goldinvestigation #He's trying really hard to figure out the right thing to do #He knows he can't fight worth shit #but he's willing to buy time if necessary #he knows this is important

Nori tensed when Hikari took the USB drive. For all he knew, this was a horrible mistake. Tomoko didn't trust her, and she had punched him before when she had clearly been in the wrong. What if she had been planting this evidence just to coerce him to hand over the only thing he had. "Hey, wait," he began, but then he stopped, looking at the photograph she held out.

A trade was... better. Unless this was supposed to frame Tomoko. He didn't know anything about Hikari's personal life, so it was entirely possible that she was the culprit.

After a moment's hesitation, he nodded and took the photograph, finally meeting Hikari's gaze and staring at her, deciding to trust her. "If anything fucking happens to it, it's on you." Nori put the picture away, then he crossed his arms. "I... told Tomoko I didn't find anything upstairs. She doesn't know I had it." His skin crawled; why was he trusting Hikari but not Tomoko? This didn't make sense. He was probably going against his better judgement.

"Don't fucking get caught with it. Trust me when I say it's... got some heavy shit on it. Heavy enough that if I'd written it, I sure as hell wouldn't want someone to get their hands on it. Whoever wrote it might kill you to keep if from coming out; they have no regard for any of our lives. They want us dead." That was a safe conclusion from what he'd read. Nori hesitated again, looking down. "I guess what I mean is, be careful. Watch your back."

Unlike last time he'd given her a similar cautionary message, his voice didn't carry any trace of sarcasm. He shifted his weight uncomfortably. "And Hikari? I gave it to you, so..." It would be so easy to tell her to pretend she found it, so if things went south he wouldn't face any repercussions himself.

"...So if you get into trouble, find me. I'll try to buy you time." This was a gamble, and in this game, the stakes were their lives. Hopefully he wouldn't regret this.

"hey keep your voice down punk" She hissed back, didn’t he understand the weight of the situation. She shifted uncomfortably when he looked away. "Sorry, I know this must be … hard to hear but" She perked up when Nori began talking again.

"Nori no offense, and I really do mean this in the way you mean these sort of things apparently, but don’t be a fucking dumbass" She put a hand on his shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. "I know we haven’t really gotten along during our stay here but I need you to listen to me." Her voice was soft as she spoke. "We’ve seen things planted before, and not very well mind you but don’t be blind. This is the real deal and you know it."

Hikari let out a small sigh. “If you thought it was someones father… you know something you haven’t told me so now it’s your turn to spill it Nori. And don’t you dare try and lie to me. I’m trying to help everyone” She gave him a tired look. “And I’m sure you are as well”

For once, Nori didn't react with hostility as Hikari put her hand on his shoulder. He knew she was right, he just didn't want to admit it. If he hadn't found that USB drive, he would have been arguing with her, but after reading all of that he knew there was no use fighting it.

He remained silent after she asked what he knew, then sighed and rubbed his temple. After a moment, he reached into his pocket, still not looking at her. He held out his hand, palm up, and after a brief hesitation opened his hand to reveal the USB drive.

"I found it in the computer lab." That's all Nori said, letting the heavy silence speak for itself.

Hikari looked away when Nori mentioned Michi. She knew the body wasn’t her’s, in fact she was pretty sure she knew who the body was but that didn’t ease her mind any. She snapped out of her thoughts quickly in order to reply. “No, it’s definitely not. Michi is in my room sleeping right now, she passed out well she was with me and Eisuke.” She would have to inform Eisuke what their official statement about Michi’s whereabouts were.

She fell silent when he made his suggestion turning back to give him a inquisitive look. How had he known? She had been wrong, he had found something. “Hm… funny you should say that actually because I’m already sure I know who this name tag belongs to” She took the name tag back from him and pocketed it once again. “And I think you’re right actually.”

She decided to give him a moment to let the news sink in before pulling out the photo and holding it picture side facing him. “I found this in the year book in the attic, if you’ve already found that.” She waited what she thought was long enough for him to have given it a once over before flipping it so the names were facing him. “Otojuro Tamiro, Julius Tenshin, and Jotaro Kumai.”

She could feel her voice quaking with quiet anger, “I believe the body we found, was Julius Tenshin. I also believe Julius Tenshin is Tomoko’s father. Nori, I hope you will think long and hard about what I am about to say, but I think Tomoko might be the puppet master. The mastermind”

#shsl-goldenrecords #goldinvestigation #Hikari #Wow they actually agree #He doesn't want to believe it but...#Yeah he's pretty upset right now #honestly he probably just wants to lock himself in his room for the remainder of the investigation but he can't do that

Nori stiffened when Hikari actually agreed with what he'd said. Fuck, what else did she find that would make her think that? Had she seen the USB drive and just been too stupid to take it?

He stared at the picture, trying to make sense of it. One of the guys reminded him of something, but he couldn't quite place it. No, he was sure he didn't know any of them. 'How old was it supposed to be?' Before he could say anything, though, Hikari flipped the picture around.

Julius Tenshin.

J, u, and i were all there. And with that surname, that meant...

Nori clenched his hands into fists, trying to tell himself that the picture didn't mean anything. Trying and failing.

"... Damn it!" he hissed. He didn't want to hear this. It was the same thing he'd been afraid of, from the logs, but he'd hoped... He turned to the side, not able to meet Hikari's eyes. He felt complicated right now. Angry, hurt, betrayed, used, and so much more.

Slowly, Nori began to talk again. "She talked about her dad some, and how she hadn't talked to him in awhile, but I never thought it would be something like this shit." He crossed his arms uncertainly, still staring at a spot on the wall. "This stuff is too fucking obvious, it has to be a plant, or some sort of trap. Tomoko would never-" His breath caught and he cut himself off. He wanted to believe what he was about to say, but he didn't think he could say it anymore. 'These demons have to pay, right? That's the kind of stuff she was... that the log was saying. If she'd been lying then it's all possible.'

If she had just been lying, where did that leave him?

Hikari gave a wary look in the direction he pointed. She could theoretically come back at any time. He had just come out of the first aid closet, it was secluded and she could still keep an ear out for trouble if she closed the door but stayed by it.

Shoving him lightly back into the closet before he could protest she gave one last glance down the hall before closing the door. “I found something… rather important.” She leaned back on the door and pulled out the name tag. “Well actually I found two important things, this is one of them.” she offered the name tag to him. “J, U, I, is what it says. It’s a name tag I found on the body”

#goldinvestigation #shsl-goldenrecords #Hikari

Nori was surprised when Hikari pushed him back, but didn't say anything until she shut the door. "Hey, what the hell?" He stopped, however, when she began to speak.

He reached out and took the nametag that she held out, and looked at it. The name wasn't easy to make out at all, but she was right about what she was able to read. But three letters wouldn't go very far, especially if they were those letters.

"None of us have name tags." Nori looked up at Hikari, frowning. "And... no one has those letters in their name."

' I hurt Father. I hurt him really bad.' That's what the log had said. 'I hit him and pushed him into the desk and he fell over and he’s not moving.' It had said this "father" guy was only paralyzed, but... if those logs were real, he had been in the school.

"Hikari, I think..." The pianist hesitated, not sure how much he should disclose. "Look, I don't know where the fuck Michi and that bitch Hikaru went off to, but I don't think that corpse is one of us."

Nori looked up, locking eyes with Hikari as he tried to figure out how to word it. Those logs were constantly referencing someone's dad, so... "What if... it was someone's father?" No, that was stupid, and she'd probably call bullshit on that. It didn't make any sense for family members to be here. "No, fuck it, that can't be right," he muttered under his breath, turning away and holding the name tag back out towards her.

Hikari jerked backwards at suddenly being addressed, hands as always rising defensively. “Oh… it’s you” She dropped her hands back down to her sides and turned to face him. She should have been paying more attention to her surroundings but checking the boiler room had made her begin to worry about Michi again. She was sure to close the door nice and tight but she had no way of monitoring anything on the other side.

"Found anything? I…" He looked pretty shaken up, maybe the pressure was finally getting to him or maybe…. he had made an unsettling discovery? It was probably the former, but it was about to become the latter. She had been planing to break the news too him shortly so running into him now was really a lucky break.

"Actually yeah, I did find something. It was in the attic…" She glanced around apprehensively. "Say… where exactly is Tomoko? She’s not here is she?” Please let her not be close by, please let her not be close by, please let her not be close by. She may have had on a blank expression but that plus the fact she could feel herself starting to sweat could be a give away.

#goldinvestigation #Hikari #shsl-goldenrecords

The pianist stiffened ever so slightly when she asked about Tomoko. Did that mean she also thought....? "She..." He glanced over his shoulder, then turned back to Hikari and shrugged. "Hell if I know. Somewhere on this floor, at least that's where she should be. She went over that way." Nori gestured down the hall.

He frowned, looking significantly less annoyed and more serious. "Why? What did you find?" Nori crossed his arms, giving Hikari a demanding look. He needed to know.

"Fiiind anything on the third floor yet?"

Nori jumped slightly when Tomoko approached him. "I..." He hesitated, thinking of the USB drive in his pocket. Then, the pianist shook his head, shoving his hands into his pockets and frowning. "No, not a damn thing. This whole investigation's just a load of shit and wasted time. That damned bear couldn't even tell us who the fuck the corpse is, so..." Only two people were missing, so it had to be one of them, but those entries he'd read were still vivid in his mind. If he was right then... he had a guess at who it was. But that was impossible, right? He glanced in the general direction of the computer room for a second, then started to walk towards the stairs to go down to the second floor.

"You didn't find anything either?" He pulled his hands out of his pockets and crossed his arms, being careful not to let the USB drive fall out. "I guess we better keep looking, then." Nori was more on edge than he had been before, and his always-irritated face had a definite undertone of uncertainty.

Fuck this school.

"Have you fooound anything yet, Mr. Watanabe?"

Nori scowled and shook his head. "No, not a damn thing, besides that stuff in the attic we talked about." The pot he had broken in the previous room wasn't out of carelessness so much as frustration at the lack of evidence so far. Okay, well, maybe he slammed it down a little too hard and hadn't been paying much attention to the fact that it was right on the edge, but... Whatever. "Did you find anything yet?"

He crossed his arms. "I think we've covered everywhere on this floor, if you didn't notice anything." This was bullshit.

Tomoko looked between the book and the desk, her eyebrows furrowing. My, what great evidence Mina had found. The secret of the attic was unfolding one step at a time, however she did agree we Nori that such a coincidence was indeed strange. “Peeerhaps the owner of the desk was a great faaan of the school or attended it?” She proposed, holding her chin, “The laaatter option makes more sense, seeeeeing as there is a schoolbook. Perhaps there is a cluuue on one of the paaaages?”

Mina shrugged. “I honestly don’t know whyit’ could be like that. Monokuma, of course, never gave me any answers.” She looked at the yearbook leaf, then the desk leaf. “Hey, the yearbook is pretty old, too. Whyis’ that? Maybe the desk is as old asthe’ yearbook…?”
