*So, as you may know, Kou has been working at DA now. This isn't too much of a secret, though he hasn't really given a reason for why he's doing this.
Well, you may find him acting upon one of these reasons, later in the night on the island or in the city [You Choose Which]-- perhaps you're someone who just doesn't follow the rules of curfew or you're late coming from things you had to do, but you'll find some guy following another, certain creepy shut-in dude.
If he's in the city, he's in his dumb incognito outfit, but if he's on the island, he isn't bothering with it. Stands out too much in that situation.*

... Still don't think he breathes though."
no subject
I... think he breathes.
Because if he doesn't, that's going to make me wonder what he's doing, staying down there in the water.
no subject
... or weird rituals. Does he disappear into the same spots?"
no subject
Usually. The idea of him doing rituals or spell-casting isn't out there, honestly.
In fac-- oh.
*Kou ducks down behind the trees, grabbing you from the back, Renat, to have you follow suit.
Tarou's surfaced from beneath the water, completely soaked. He takes a moment to shake his hair out like a dog.*
no subject
... she also stares long enough to see if he takes in any air as he surfaces, because he's probably still a vampire.
no subject
*well, he's letting out a sighing sound, so that's... close...??
He looks around though, since he was about to take off his actual shirt to wring it out... but he decides to just grab his glasses and get them on, before gathering up his clothes.
... he might know someone's around.*
no subject
no subject
He turns to leave, going deeper into the woods for the time being.*
no subject
That felt close...
no subject
"Holy shit, he usually doesn't exude that aura of... whatever the hell that was.
That was too close. Way, way too close.
... I think I'm a bit in over my head. Sorry if I messed up your... whatever."
no subject
No, that's fine. *we can probably talk at least at... not-whisper volume, just keep it low.*
I'm not surprised someone else managed to find that guy suspicious, anyway.
no subject
no subject
Yeah, I know.
I'm working with the "history teach" to figure this out.
no subject
Tezaki, right? You, uh. May not recognize me, but I'm Renat Briar."
no subject
... Wait, you're-- but--
Actually, nevermind, I'm not going to ask questions. *mentally filing that away...*
And this isn't something that's exactly advertised.
no subject
...yeah, well, I was offering to try and get info on him."
She stares at the spot in the river.
"... wanna check it out in the sunlight, see what he was doing?"
no subject
Little too dark right now, so I'm gonna have to wait until daybreak... *oh right, it is... night time.*
You should try to get back to the dorms. I know you feel like you can handle this, but I don't know if this guy's gonna try to double-back or some--
Wait, he knows you, right? You said that?
no subject
no subject
If you don't mind being at least a bit of bait. Just... To see how he'd react if you mention that you spotted him... doing that.
Don't worry, I'll be nearby in case he tries anything weird.
no subject
I'm more worried he'd try and get me expelled, but I think I can eke through an expulsion duel."
no subject
He isn't on official enough staff to make that judgment call himself, anyway. Just enough to try to bring up the topics and barter.
*he thinks a moment*
Think you can do it right now and try to tail him? Just say that you noticed him and wondered what he was doing. *you could use the excuse of you checking out places, anyway.*
no subject
She hands you a crossbow constructed out of pens, paperclips, and the tightest work on a rubber band you've ever seen.
"I'll go in unarmed. If he gets weird, I trust you to be able to help. Or my ghost is gonna tell Trena ya let me die."
no subject
*taking the makeshift crossbow.
I'm shocked this even worked.*
Right, don't worry. I'll make sure you live long enough so that your ghost can't get revenge on me.
no subject
"Thanks."
And with a deep breath, she goes after Tarou, not trying to be stealthy much anymore.
no subject
*Kou's gonna follow from a safe observance distance, but eventually, you do find Tarou, sat down on the grass, putting back on his white button-up after he got a chance to wring it out in privacy.*
