Week 2 - April 13th

Week 2: Investigation

The Sergeant's deadline is tonight. An offer to get in contact with people you know, yet also a threat. Given how fed up he was, it's unlikely he's joking about the kind of cruelty he's willing to go through for the sake of getting what he wants.

That's why it may not be so surprising that, early in Friday morning, there's this air of tension, despite the bright sun in the sky. It doesn't help that a firetruck and a couple patrolcars race through the streets, passing in front of the motel and going west. The reason why is clear after a single glance:

There's a thick column of black smoke emanating from somewhere inside the Junkyard.

[Sirens.

Again.

She's following the cars this time. To the junkyard.]

[pursuitofdeath]

[Oh hello Millium. You didn't ask for an adult so-- good, because you aren't really getting one. But he's joining you all the same.]

[doublelammy]

[That's fine, she's not sure an adult would help here.] It's just like that first Friday...

[relieable]

[he's following because he's worried about Millium okay]

[pursuitofdeath]

...you mean when you and Sakura-chan were here before.

[Well that bodes about as well as he expected.]

[carbide]

[Hi Millium, are you tired of Olympia yet? Too bad, she's following you. (Or, you know, you're just both going to the same place.)]

[linearcrash]

[ He's following behind all wet cause the noise disturbed his shower. ]

What the hell is going on?!

[prayerwheel]

[ Silently following behind him. Nine needs a babysitter and no one else is stepping up to the plate. ]

There's a trail of smoke from the junkyard. Are you going to look?

[linearcrash]

[ Yeeeeah that checks out. Also hi babe.]

Have to peek to make sure no one needs help, you know?

[ Let's go to the junkyard. ]

[pecker]

[Well, howdy next door neighbor. Niwatori is stepping out at the same time, confused.]

T-The junkyard's smoking like a chimney... Did someone...?

[linearcrash]

[ Hi Chickadee. ]

Whoa. It is the day, right?

[ He's not even sure any more. Also she might want to lead to keep them from getting lost ]

[odasaku]

[ haha well fuck

oda is also going to go to the junkyard! gotta make sure millium doesn't do something stupid. ]

[doublelammy]

[Wow? Can y'all have like half a faith in her??? smh]

[odasaku]

[ he has half a faith on her and thats why he's not telling her to go back GOSH ]

[robitussin]

[junkyard crew has one more member!!]

...This can’t be good.

[odasaku]

So much for trying to lay low after the cinema thing.

[robitussin]

As if that was going to happen. Still... This is on another level.

[cartesio]

[ When you arrive at the junkyard, it doesn't look like the police or firefighters have dug into the scene too much. Probably because they seem too baffled to?

Something very wrong seems to have happened here, evident by the burning, broken-down car they're stopped in front of. That's the source of the smoke, but it looks like...there's something inside it, as well. ]

[pursuitofdeath]

[Can the door be opened?]

[cartesio]

[ Not unless you want your hands burned off! You'll need to find a way to extinguish enough of the fire...or hey, maybe ask the bewildered firefighter with the hose? ]

[robitussin]

[From nearby:]

Be careful.

[carbide]

[While Dazai tries the dazoor, Olympia peers through the window. Who has managed to get this vehicle into this fantastically terrible failure state?]

[cartesio]

[ It's a bit hard to get close enough to both see through the smoke and avoid getting caught in the flame yourself to tell. ]

[odasaku]

[ well, oda's not really going to wait for dazai to open the fucking door and possibly burn himself because as soon as he sees something inside, he immediately turns back to the firefighters with an uncharacteristic amount of emotion in his voice. ]

Hey! DO SOMETHING AND PUT THE FIRE OUT!

[cartesio]

[ The man with the hose gasps, and suddenly they're all scrambling. Shouting to one another, and within seconds a steady stream of water drenches the burning car, until the fire is out. ]
