[ God it really is just Daan and all his babies. He's immediately getting a clean cloth out and wetting it in some water whatever I'm decreeing we probably have a stable supply of clean/preboiled and sterilised water for this and that in the cabin, he's a field doctor and comes prepared.
He will either hand it to Rondo to soothe his stings or do it himself, while checking for any stingers. ]
Sounds like you had a rough day. What did you find? Other than bees.
[ thank you our sweet doctor daan. he will let him fuss - by now, he's been injured enough times in his life that he knows when to be hands off and when to stay out of the way, so he just folds his hands in his lap and laces his fingers together. there are just lots of beestings... thank god he wears thick clothes.... ]
... There was a strange tree, a crab holding something, and... and Karlach found Karma.
...It was oddly alluring? Like it drew us in... [ it was, after all, a coconut tree ] I wasn't... I was able to climb to the top of it, which is where I was able to see where Karma was.
Yes. I don't really know why... but, at least it was something. [ a sign from the Flame, maybe. at least they found him. even if karma spent saturday telling rondo about what he wanted to be, about the life ahead of him. even if pickles was kind and comforting, a wise, listening ear. and ichiban, someone rondo was almost immediately drawn to - a kindred spirit, a similar soul.
...
he swallows, trying to hold still. ]
I wish I had more information to share... I'm sorry.
It's fine. It's not like I have anything helpful either.
[ He found some tools that he couldn't even tell their state of because we are willingly blind, and some blood stains. So there was a fight in the barn! Whoopee, what the fuck good does that do him.
But after checking that Rondo isn't going to like die of bee venom he's going to start putting bandaids on them. ]
Keep these areas cool and clean where you can. And rest.
[ mood we found two coconuts and a bunch of bees and a corpse
he sticks his chin out for the bandaids appropriately. thankfully, he does not seem to be allergic to bees. ]
...yes. [ a long day. rondo rubs his eyes, careful of the bandages, trying to keep himself composed. ] I want... I'd like to be able to find out what happened. To all of them. Last week, we... everything came down to the very end. War said that they thought Death's was undertaken by the cult, themselves, but...
[ but this week might be different. considering. ]
From what I've gathered, there's one monster summoned... and even if it affected both people with the same affinity, that's still a maximum of two.
Pickles had told me that he wouldn't make the attempt at bonding with his pair, so that rules out death by association.
Mr. Akabane was also pretty dismissive of the idea, and generally anything supernatural, but I guess it's not impossible... that being said, I'm having a hard time imagining him and Mr. Kasuga making that connection.
...
[ So... in his theory, there's at least one person who killed without an influence. ]

covered in bee stings and also looking very, very, very upset. it's fine! everything is fine! ]

[ NOT THIS. ]
Rondo, what in the world -- ?
[ HELLOOO? He's already coming over and reaching for his makeshift medbag, you don't get a choice in this matter. ]
no subject
I - we were able to go out and investigate, and there was a tree, and a bee's nest came out. It's - I'm okay, it doesn't really...
[ hurt. it does hurt, but comparatively, it feels like nothing. ]

Three, this time...

Strange how?
[ He only asks because of the goddamn CYOA and their fucking tree but I guess apparently forces you to describe this coconut tree. ]

That's kind of weird.
[ Just a little bit. ]
But if it helped you find his body... mm.
[ He's trying to consider that. A helpful curse of some kind...? ]
