Seeking Truth [Active - OPEN]

[damselled]

Who: Maribelle, Tohru Adachi, Seimei Aoyagi, The Fourth Doctor, Soushi Miketsukami, Kirigiri Kyouko, and Naoto Shirogane. Also, any questioning volunteers, witnesses, and people who want to meet and talk after!
What: The questioning begins.
When: D504, morning - afternoon
Where: Everyday Sunshine in the Sigyn District
Rating: G for now.

They were ready. They'd discussed their process earlier, gathered ideas and chosen their partners, and now it was time to properly get to work. They'd all arrived at the Everyday Sunshine building bright and early, and after placing a sign-in sheet for the volunteers, went into their assigned spaces. Each volunteer was allowed a witness, if they so chose, and there were breaks scheduled at regular intervals so that those with special abilities could rest and recharge as much as possible.

Now, all they had to do was wait.

Room 1: Adachi and Maribelle [OPEN]
Room 2: Seimei and Soushi [OPEN]
Room 3: The Fourth Doctor [OPEN]
Room 4: Kirigiri and Naoto [OPEN]
After: The Sigyn District [OPEN]


[ooc: Everyone is available for questioning in their individual threads. Volunteers can go in a thread of their own by responding to a comment by the investigators so they don't have to thread hop. Also, please try to spread out volunteers between the questioners, so we have less chance of power drain. Thanks! ♥]

Comments

Room 1: Maribelle and Adachi

[damselled]

[Maribelle had set up in the room Yosuke had shown her in Everyday Sunshine. He'd seemed to want her where he could keep an eye on her - and Adachi, no doubt. She'd allowed it; it was their building, and they had been gracious enough to lend it to her Besides, she'd begun to feel a bit nervous regarding Adachi as well, after what Ellie and Yu had told her. Yosuke's trepidation had been disturbing enough, but..

But that wouldn't do. She'd been subject to rumors before, and she simply could not bring herself to treat Adachi unfairly. She was keeping an eye on him, and they were all being watched. That would have to be enough for now.

She waited, calm and composed, for their volunteers to begin coming in.]

[sleight_of_hand]

[Everyday Sunshine, hunh... well, Adachi couldn't say he was surprised that Souji and his gang wanted to get in on this too. He wasn't lucky enough to not have them as a constant, insufferable presence in his life. It was like, "Oh no! Adachi-san met a girl! Let's warn her before he does anything!" They did the same shit to Harley too, and he was just lucky that she was nuts enough to keep using him stick around him.]

[Sometimes he wondered if it was worth admitting the truth out loud, just to get these dumbasses to shut up.]

[Still, it was interesting to finally be invited to this place. He had scoped it out plenty of times on patrol of course, so he knew the way well enough that he could get there early... carrying two cups of coffee. He was just about to make his way in when he realized what the hell he was doing. Scoping out the location, coming with coffee; he let out a loud groan, rolling his eyes skyward.]

Dojima-san... what've you done to me...?

[A heartrending sigh followed just after, before Adachi made his way in, going off to the room Mari said she'd be in. He knocked as best he could, before poking his head in, only to see her already there. Sheesh, now he felt like he was being late here...]

Maribelle-san? Am I late?

[damselled]

[Maribelle looked up as Adachi entered, giving him a reassuring smile. Fortunately for him, he wasn't late, or else she would have taught him a swift lesson in punctuality - possibly with her parasol.]

You're a little early, Tohru. The volunteers haven't started coming in, yet.

[She gestures for the other to sit by her, noticing the cups, but not quite saying anything else just yet.]

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi flinched at the use of his first name again; okay, sure, cultural differences and all that, but a "Mr. Adachi" would have been nice instead of just skipping to a first name basis. Sheesh...]

[He shuffled into the room, hesitating a moment in front of her, before offering her a cup.]

I ah... got coffee? It's... kinda a habit from work.

[He shifted on his feet awkwardly, not even bothering to hide the fact that he felt like a fool.]

[damselled]

[Sorry, dude, she's totally not going to get the cultural difference thing until someone actually explain it to her. So far, no one has.

She takes the coffee cup after a moment, giving him a polite nod in thanks.]

My gratitude. [she normally drinks tea, and she's only heard of coffee, but if he's nice enough to bring her something, she'll be nice enough to try it.] Please, sit.

[quantumtangled]

[He arrives when he has a half hour free, taking off his hat politely as he enters the room, quietly as can be. Maribelle being the one who invited him, she'll be his interviewer. If it turns out she's the spy, using this to gather information... with the amount of volunteers, there won't be any secrets.]

[So, he's here, giving up his, hopefully proving to all that he's trustworthy.]

Hello.

[damselled]

[Maribelle had just finished her coffee when September entered. Smiling, Maribelle gestures to the seat across from them.]

Good morning. September was it? How very good of you to join us.

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi glanced up at the guy that entered and... wow. That was bald on a new level of bald. Maybe he'd have a bare shot at his thoughts then, hunh?]

[...wow, that was terrible.]

[He forced a smile back, raising his coffee up in greeting, but letting Mari have the reigns until asked to step in.]

Room 2: Soushi and Seimei

[damselled]

[ooc: Did anyone order a sinister telepath and a soft-spoken (for now) nine-tailed fox?]

[discrepant]

[Soushi was already in the room, awaiting for anyone who would like to get themselves checked on with. Although, Soushi highly doubted anyone would arrive to their room as he knew trust was an issue with many and he didn't know many nor has he made himself known by many neither. He highly doubts anyone on his small circle of acquaintances are a traitor as most of his circle are honest and overly friendly types.

Even so, he knew it wasn't wise to judge someone by their appearance as he knew everyone wore a mask similar to the fox mask tied around his waist. While he patiently waited for someone to arrive, Soushi will be taking a nearby seat, a few of his nine tails twitching while the individual himself examines his fox mask in silence.]

[beloved_one]

[Seimei had been waiting outside, observing the few people that had trickled in. Though he had not been surprised at all at the fact that very few had been willing to come. After all everyone had something to hide, and they were essentially the group that had been put together to find that thing. Despite how 'noble' a reason that they had, people wouldn't trust them because it went against everything that those were capable of thinking knew.

Still he had taken part of the group for those select few who did give in to the pressure, to find out more about the other inhabitants and what was in their head.]

It seems that we'll have a rather quiet morning.

[Returning with a drink, Seimei held a water out to offer it to the other as well. He had been a little curious about the other after their initial conversation, and it was hard to ignore that they had been paired up here as well.]

[discrepant]

It would seem so.

[He will lower the mask as his attention will turn to his partner with a polite smile forming on his lips.]

But, it isn't surprising neither. [After all.] If the mere thought of using a polygraph test will make most individuals nervous, then I can only imagine having someone who can read their mind while the other manipulate their will to forcefully cooperate can make an individual more anxious; even if they were innocent of any wrongdoing.

[At least, that is how he saw it. And he will notice the offered water which Soushi will gratefully take with a "thank you for your kindness" comment before drinking it.]

Room 3: The Fourth Doctor

[damselled]

[ooc: Don't want to be questioned by a Charm user, but still want to volunteer for Telepathy? The Doctor's your guy!]

[samantha_grey]

[There had been at least one who wanted to avoid the use of Charm on themselves. Samantha might have been largely in control of her nature these days, but she was not one who liked testing the theory. So, she made her way towards the third room and sighed, rapping at the door.

Best to get this over with.]

[allpurposescarf]

[Best indeed, and Four can at least understand not wanting to be subject to all the abilities on offer. He might be used to the idea of them being a thing, more or less, but that doesn't mean that all of them might be comfortable to have to used.

(Of course, he'd like to think that he's at least as gentle as he can be with his, but that's not at hand right now.)]

Come in!

[Once she does, she'll find Four sitting with his hat pulled down over his eyes, although he pushes it back up to it's proper place once the door closes behind her again. Which mostly only has the effect of making it so that the grin that follows is all the more visible, but at least it's something.]

[samantha_grey]

[So, one of the doctors, eh? She smirked to herself, settling across from him and nodding once before closing her eyes and breathing out to steady her nerves.]

Just a warning. My mind sometimes wanders. If you ask the wrong question, a few of my memories are ... well, they're the stuff of nightmares. I get the feeling you lot can handle it, but just be aware it can happen, ok?

[bythewaves]

[ knock knock knock, is there a Doctor in the house? ]

Suilad [ Maglor calls quietly as he comes through the door. He worries - he is far older than most here, and his mind equally dangerous. Perhaps he should have asked to only speak to a Charm user? ]

[allpurposescarf]

[There is indeed! In this particular case, the curly-haired incarnation of the Doctor, but that's still at least one of him. Perhaps even more fortunately he's used to being in situations that might otherwise be considered dangerous.]

Hallo there.

[As ever, there's a grin with his words.]

Looking for me, I take it?

[bythewaves]

[ something in his shoulders eases and Maglor smiles to see the Doctor. As young as this version of him is, he is one of the few here Maglor thinks could handle the minefield his mind is likely to be. ]

Hello Doctor! I did not think to see you here, but I am grateful all the same. I would rather not subject one of the younglings here to what traps my mind might conjure.

Room 4: Naoto and Kirigiri

[damselled]

[ooc: Want to go in for questioning, but aren't comfortable with having your brain or your heart poked with a stick? Come see the genius detectives and let them do their thing!

[twoendings]

[These are definitely the people to go to if you aren't wanting to have anything done to you in the process. But don't be fooled, these two are top of the line detectives. The best in what they do. So if you're going to get yourself caught in a lie- well, don't do it.

Kirigiri doesn't sit quite yet, wanting to have an air of openness in the room before any of the questioning went down.]

[comeonthensexy]

[ If there's a choice between having his heart or mind prodded and not ... he really can't make himself comfortable with the idea of having someone do it. He could have gone to himself, apparently, but that might have been seen as odd and he'd like to avoid any discussions surrounding that. He has a feeling people might murmur about him choosing a rather "safe" option too but ...

Eh. This is how you do it back in the good ol' days in places with no telepathy to speak of. It works decently. He'll go for the uncertainty of how well it'll pan out. Not like he got the impression he's a huge suspect anyway.

So here he is, cheerful and smiling as he opens the door halfway and leans through the opening. ]

Hello!

[ Waaave. ]

[twoendings]

[Kirgiri understands the weight of that, it's not something that everyone could or would be comfortable with it. The safe option is no more safe than the other options really. Whether it was Kirigiri or Naoto, they could spot out a lie, it's what they do. They look for holes in stories.

She waves back in greeting, and then waves him in.]

Thank you for your cooperation, would you like to have a seat?

[comeonthensexy]

[ He comes inside fully, and shuts the door behind him. ]

I probably ought to. You don't happen to have any tea?

Sigyn District [OPEN]

[damselled]

[ooc: In the mood to mingle after the questioning is done? Have questions for the questioners? Want to make finger puppets and talk about murders? Go here! Threadhopping is welcome in this one.]
