After Life Theater Execution 3 and 4 - Shikamaru and Mai Shingetsu!
TITLE: The theory of playing god
[X]
*Shikamaru and Mai had found themselves in some lab, bounded to a table*
*Meanwhile, on the fifth floor*
Where the hell could she have gone?
This is absolutely ridiculous. There’s no way she escaped, but she’s so short and skinny...she could hiding anywhere.
Hmm...Well, there’s always her “friends.” Surely they must be desperate to know where Deguchi is, if they don’t already know...
And I know where just Tamon-san usually happens to-
???: Shingetsu-san!
Oh, for God’s sake, what now?
I’d like a word with you.
As would I!
Oh...wh-what is it?
Well, my first question is why, exactly, you allow students to access everything from insecure medication to hazardous chemicals? Mind explaining why I found phenylacetic acid in one of the labs?
But more to my point, what the hell happened in Class 77-B? My daughter and her classmates were drugged with some kind of aphrodisiac, and things were close to escalating dangerously.
What’s next? Unrestricted access to phenobarbital? Or hydrofluoric acid?
W-Well...
I’ve interviewed plenty of the students in Class 77, and all of them can confirm what exactly happened. How did you even allow anyone access to dangerous psychoactives?
Mind explaining what exactly you’ve been doing running around the school, rather than staying and answering questions?
Are you looking for whatever excuses you can find?
Th-That’s not-
Look here! You two came searching for evidence, but all you’ve pointed out are failings in application! No, we wouldn’t simply allow anyone access to medications or chemicals, not at all!
Come with me and I’ll show you what exactly we intended the goal be.
You mean the goal wasn’t to find someone else to blame?
My apologies, I just got back from an event where I busted someone who also had a lot to hide.
Gotta say, Shingetsu-san, you’re not looking much different from where I’m standing.
Then come with me and allow me to change your mind.
After you.
Lead the way.
*Mai does so, leading Harumi and Daisuke down the hall*
*Mayumi peaks out from a nearby door*
Perfect.
_________________________________________________
Looks like they’ve got her attention. You guys ready?
I feel like there were better ways we could’ve done this.
*Estu is sitting in a trashbag inside a large cardboard box, whose interior is also lined with bubble wrap*
Not with our current situation, I’m afraid.
Now, help me with this.
*Estu sinks into the bag, which Mayumi and Nikei wrap in the bubble wrap and close the box’s sides around*
Seriously, this is crazy.
Estu: It’s fine. We’ve both survived worse.
Yeah, I was in a plane crash once. This is nothing.
...Okay, I actually wanna hear these stories now.
We’ll get to those later. Help me get the box on the windowsill.
A Simple Flaw Of The Izuru Kamukura Project
[Part 1]
Well anyway, since you say there were 7 students that were dead from the Reserve Course, do you know the names of them?
Besides Mai…don’t think the police forgot how the school blackmailed them to releasing you. They will be merciless on you.
You needn't concern yourselves with any of this.
Yes, hello, Shingetsu-san.
*Ahem* Nakamura.
I must admit, of all the people to involved with this investigation, you weren’t among those I was expecting to show.
Guess I’m full of surprises, huh?
I wasn’t expecting to hear you’re having another kid.
I am, yes. A daughter this time.
Well, here’s hoping you’ll treat this one like an actual child.
...Nakamura, if this is your way of trying to intimidate me, you can save it. I’ve moved on from such petty and meaningless acts.
In any event, I’ve reformed. I don’t intend to carry out such a cruel experiment again, and instead I’ll be working toward improving this school.
And that involves assisting with this investigation.
Now, as soon as I can find Deguchi, we can continue onward.
...I’m afraid she’s not available.
Pardon me?
You heard me. She’s unavailable to be participate in your investigation, so leave her alone.
Nakamura, I don’t think you quite grasp the weight of this investigation-
Maybe I grasp more than I think you do. There’s a lot I could talk about with these gentlemen, isn’t there? And if not them, any of these other cops in the building.
Oh? And what exactly would you hope to discuss with them?
Oh, nothing much, just the kinds of things you and the Steering Committee were so kind to show me.
Although you’ll have to remind me of the code we used.
Code...? What code are you speaking of?
Oh, you don’t remember? Lemme see, maybe I do remember it.
It was something like...8-6-4-0-1-2-
OH! That code! That’s what you were referring to! Of course, but we changed it since last time, so there’s no need!
Ah, so you won’t need Deguchi-san’s help then. If there’s a new code, that means somebody else is in charge, right?
...Right, yes, of course.
So what’s stopping you from showing them the lab?
Unless, of course, you aren’t quite as far removed from your experiments as you’d like us to believe?
...
Very well. I suppose we don’t need Deguchi-san’s help after all.
Gentlemen, will you wait for me at the stairwell? I’ll be there shortly.
*The police leave*
Where is she, Nakamura?!
What makes you think I know? You can’t keep track of your own students?
I think you do know.
And you have five seconds to tell me where that Ainu brat is before I have you booted from the premises.
Sorry, I really have no clue. After all, I’m part of the investigation, remember? It’s my job to learn, not know.
And here’s what I know: do us all a favor and stay away from her. Otherwise, you’re going to be so wrapped up in so much litigation that your unborn child’s going to need a lawyer.
...
Very well. But I’ll get what I want, Nakamura, one way or another.
Whatever you say, Shingetsu-san.
Hey...what if we reminded people of what a wonderful parent you are? Maybe that’ll convince people you’re really on the up and up?
Yeah, Shingetsu-san, didn’t you go to jail for experimenting on your own kid or something?
Sh-Shut up brat! You have no right to talk to me, I'll get you expelled for defamation!
What? I'm only saying what's true, or are you the type of person that hates getting told they’re wrong? Because in that case, I seriously have to wonder how the hell your parents dealt with you.
...*With a disgusted sigh, Mai marches off*
Always a barrel of sunshine, isn’t she?
No kidding.
Let’s hope that Etsu doesn’t show up out of nowhere, while you’re doing your thing, right Kyoji?
Alright, that's all of them.
Okay, time to keep my head down and make a break for the doors.
*He exits the office and heads into the hall*
???: Deguchi! Where the hell is that girl?!
Huh?
???: I truly apologize, she's usually far more punctual than this.
...I know that voice.
*Instead of heading toward the door, he rounds the corner*
As soon as she's here, I'll be glad to answer your questions properly.
Cop: Shingetsu-san, perhaps it would be best if we accessed the labs ourselves-
I'm afraid that's not possible. It requires high-level security clearance, and the only person here who can access it is-
Shingetsu Mai.
Wh-
YOU?!
___________________________________________________
Whoa, did you guys hear that?
Who's screaming?
Hope it's not a fight.
*The three peak their heads out the door, catching the confrontation down the hall*
Is that...?
He's here?
(Dear god, I hope he isn't about to do something stupid...)
