You wouldn't be the first to interrupt. [greed seems to be working on several documents at their desk, a cup of tea to their left and the pomeranian from this week on their right on the actual desk. they finish whatever they're writing before they look up, little wisps of shadows seeping out from under their hood.]

You said you found a watch?

[mukagen]

[ Wow. Busy. So many documents, don't mind if he peeks? And maybe make eye contact with the pom it is so cute he wants to pet but he is here for BUSINESS. ]

Yeah! I'll try not to waste your time too much.

[ Don't mind that Gojou takes a seat across without asking, then takes out the pocket watch he found. ]

Familiar? Or...

[probe]

[sure, he can peek. it's a write-up of today's execution though so does he really want to do that? doesn't matter because the pom immediately gets up to flop in gojou's directly line of vision, panting happily. hello!]

Hm? [they lean forward and they look at the watch curiously.] While I can understand why you might think so, and while I may wish to take it off your hands regardless, this isn't mine.

[mukagen]

Woah, really? You seemed like the kind of person to check their watch. Or own a watch? Maybe you do and this one just isn’t yours.

[ Gojou considers just giving it to Greed since they said they might want it, but... He should return it to its owner. Feels important.

He will pet the Pom. Who is good dog, you are! ]

I guess I’m back to searching.

[probe]

Perhaps. [perhaps what? they don't elaborate. the pom wags his tail at the attention and barks happily. greed does nothing to silence them as it was one tiny bark.]

If you're looking for its rightful owner, perhaps it would be best to look for the Avatar most similar to myself?

[mukagen]

[ PERHAPS. OKAY. you avatars talk funny but gojou doesn’t dislike it. ]

All right. Thanks, Greed!

[ He... doesn’t leave. Because he’s scratching little Pom under the chin. He will go soon, though. No worries. ]

[probe]

[PERHAPS. greed figures gojou will either understand or not, so they merely shrug.]

Of course. [he may pet the dog...the dog is pleased.] ...was there anything else you needed?

[they apparently are open to additional questions but also respect gojou if he wants to bounce after dog time.]

[mukagen]

[ One answer means that answer is for all those questions. Gojou continues to pamper dog, even grooming its fur with his fingers. ]

Oh, yeah, I guess I can ask about the slime in the research room... It was kind of violent when I looked at it. There’s also this weird mold in the MRI scanner? Is that something to be concerned about?

[ MOLD ISNT GOOD? ]

[probe]

[gojou is being kind to their dog, so they're more amicable.]

Mold...? [they seem concerned.] What precisely happened in there?

[mukagen]

[ who would be mean to dog...? Gojou stops petting so he can focus on what he remembers. ]

Yes. There's some pink, flesh-like substance that oozes from it—I thought it was mold? I didn't get to see it in action for too long, but when I did peek, it slipped through the cracks after a bit.

[ time for stupidity. ]

Someone with me got a scan, though. The mold came back out and latched onto his skin. He felt nauseous afterwards.

[ Which is why he's asking. It seems... Worrying? ]

[probe]

Ah. [that's disgusting.] I must ask why you felt the need to use the machine yourselves, but I've come to realize you'll all do whatever it is you wish to do.

[they tap their claws on the desktop for a moment.]

I presume your companion is alright now? Whatever it was, the side effects didn't last. Perhaps it was simply a defense mechanism.

[mukagen]

I don't know! [ HE. REALLY DOES NOT KNOW. ] He just decided it's best to try it himself and, by the time we realized, it was definitely too late.

[ Gojou has only so many hands for child leashes. ]

It was temporary, but a defense mechanism to use the MRI...?

[probe]

...foolish. [FOOLISH! how could you possibly!! but it's fine. greed seems to accept that, unfortunately, given some people really want to also eat trial evidence.]

Mm. It's simply a theory, but there are things about this base that don't entirely wish to be perceived just yet. I imagine that machine and the mold you found is one of them.

[mukagen]

[ you don't give them forensic tech it's okay they have white, molly, and lenore. Gojou really doesn't know why people are like this, either. ]

Oh, I seeeee. Except I guess in this case, I do not see! You think they'll be less shy in the future, Greed?

[probe]

[...]

I'm sure they will be.

[mukagen]

Ominous.

[ Yes, he has to say that aloud. ]

How did you feel about this week? Considering you probably do the documentation for everything.

[probe]

I do. [and they seem somewhat proud of that? nerd.]

There was a bit of a concern when they started questioning you, but overall I would say you did better. Not perfectly, and truthfully it was only the trap Tealeaf and Miss Nonagesimus set up that you found Law, but your investigations and testimonies provided a solid alibi and pointed you in the correct direction.

[is. is that what gojou was asking? we don't know.]

[mukagen]

[ Nerd. Even this answer is nerdy! ]

Wow! An assessment. I was thinking more about your own personal opinion on it all, but I guess it's just work to you?

[ He will accept it. ]

[probe]

More or less. [wryly. but they take that in stride. gojou caught them on a good day when he doesn't want to throw everyone out a window.]

That is my personal opinion, however. It was better.

[mukagen]

[ no please yeet everyone ]

... Better than writing about us fussing over toblerones for hours?

[probe]

I truly cannot understand why you were stuck on candy bars for so many hours.

[so yes.]

[mukagen]

There was blood on the candy bars, Greed? Blood!

[ Gojou also thought it was ridiculous. He just. Wanted to eat some chocolate? ]

[probe]

The correct answer was not to assume Kaan turned into a bloody candy bar!

[everyone!!! at least gojou understands(?)]

[mukagen]

[ Gojou did, for like maybe ten minutes, have a thought Kaz turned into a candy bar. ]

You raised your voice! [ HAHA. ] Let it all out!!

[ CALL THEM IMBECILES ]

[probe]

[no it's undignified!!]

I would prefer not to when it's much simpler to call you all incredibly foolish.
