['Sup, Axel. Wherever he might be on this fine morning, Emma and Shess will be approaching him. She, at least, looks fairly serious judging by the frown on her face.]
Hey. You got a second, Lea? We wanted your opinion on something.
So. Shirasu knows I checked him and that I knew what his element was before he told me, that I know who he talked to over the last week, and that I checked Four before him... Hisoka told him everything, apparently.
[ did lea not call this. did he not, absolutely, call the fact that hisoka would be talking shit? he does not feel vindicated at all, though, only annoyed. ]
I guess it's safe to assume they were working together, then.
[So. Here we are on this fine Monday afternoon, with the newfound knowledge that Shirasu is an animal serial killer. All of this is definitely fine, even if Emma looks like she hates this Very Much.]
...Maybe we should revisit the blood talisman idea.
[Sometime in the afternoon, Emma is flagging down both Shess and Lea for another meeting. Once they're all in her house, where she's certain nobody can hear:]
So... Update, Shirasu didn't kill Swift Wind. It was probably someone with Reflection and someone with earth working together.
[It's a while after the announcement that they're all gathered today. Even with that span of time, she seems more tense, more somber than usual. Despite that (or maybe because of it), she's getting down to business quickly enough.]
...Do either of you know if anyone has another item that can remove corruption from someone without killing them?
[here's a surprise for the two of them: though shess's mouth doesn't move, and though he doesn't have his tablet, they'll hear a voice—almost like it's echoing in their heads.]
[So! Wherever they might be hiding, she's tracking them down and bringing them together. She seems... pretty angry, though it's hard to say whether that's due to the situation or either of them. Still, she moves onto Business (TM) quickly.]
I've got a few things to cover, but let's start with this one: it turns out I've got an answer to our little mystery as to how whoever killed Swift Wind managed to pretend they were Shirasu. One of the rewards from the war was a mask that lets you take on the appearance of anyone.
[ so no wigs were involved in the making of this murder ]
week three, wednesday morning.

no subject
Of course he did. That sounds like the sort of thing Hisoka would do.
That may throw a wrench into things.

[a pause, and also:]
And if neither of you mind, I intend to inform Milla. If she's the one guarding over Shirasu, she should know.
no subject
[ he's so tired of shirasu's shit but also...no. and then, at Shess's comment, he makes a face ]
You're kidding, right? You seriously think we should let anyone know about this?

So... Update, Shirasu didn't kill Swift Wind. It was probably someone with Reflection and someone with earth working together.

Are you saying someone took on Shirasu's appearance using Reflection?
