[newlydead r2] day 8 - santa
[another morning in the murderstudio. announcements happen? probably? junpei's still holed up in his dressing room tho whoops]
[ Santa uses his steel toed boots to knock on the door very politely. That is to say he kicks it a lot and probably makes dents. ]
Hey! Open the hell up!
[ He's in a great mood. ]

[that door really has seen better days, poor door]
[there's some rustling? probably? that door regrets it no matter what tho]

[ Santa gives up when kicking doesn't seem to cut it and decides that... trying the knob to see if it's locked is probably the better way. ]
[yeah it opens readily, it was barely pulled to]
[junpei is curled up in the corner, apparently sleeping hard, too much rocking is apparently the cause]
[at least the room is less filthy]

[ Santa approaches and pokes him with the toe end of a boot. At least he's gentle about it and not kicking this time around. ]
Get up, Junpei.

Get up, Junpei.
[while the banging did nothing, at the touch he startles awake with a gasp]

[here, give him a second to go fromterrified somewhat startled to semi-calmly semi-awake]

[ Santa backs up quickly, just in case Junpei decides to swing out in retaliation. ]
Calm down, nobody's here to attack you. It's just time for our meeting.

Oh--right. Right. Sorry.
[scrubs at his face, clearly still disoriented; someone should really get an alarm clock (or at least not hide in his room at night, ah well)]
I'm ready. What happened, what'd I miss?

Everyone got a vote except three people. Those people are being offered a 'hotel pass' to the highest bidder. It's fucking crappy is what it is.
Bidding? Bidding on what?
[a moment later, he starts imagining what]
...There's not limits, or anything...?

No limits. Just whoever has the 'best bid'. Aka who tickles the clown's fancy.
[ Santa sits down on the floor and looks really stressed. ]

[there is probably a bottle of some sort of liquor in here somewhere, if santa cared to partake
in the meantime, junpei takes a beat to absorb this, frowning]
But...but it's the best bid of whoever's bidding, right? If everybody softballs it, then...it's not necessarily anything bad, right?

[ Santa does end up looking for the liquor, figuring Junpei has some of it. When he finds it he pops it open and takes a long drink before offering it over. Least he can do is share if he's stealing. ]
It's Sophie, Aku and Ronove. Aku's a joke, but how likely do you think the other two are to softball it?
I don't know Ronove at all, but Sophie's kind of a bitch.

[he grimaces, but takes a swig anyway before offering it back, hair of the dog and all that]
Sophie and I haven't talked that much, but Ronove is like Rosa's butler or something. He makes awesome baked goods, but...I dunno how hard he would go.
...Still, it's the first time. Maybe no one will want to escalate too much.

You can't tell what I'm about to tell you. I'm trusting you with this.
[ Santa reaches under his shirt and unstraps the ceramic shiv, pulling it out and handing it over. ]
I caught Niles making weapons and he made me promise to carry this.

[handling it, a little awkwardly]
...A broken plate?

[ Santa snorts. ]
Idiot.... no, see? It's broken so it's a knife. And then the leather strap makes it so you can hold it.

I thought it might be a strap to wear it as a necklace or something...

Holy shit don't do that! [ Tries to grab it away before horribleness occurs. ]
Ah shit--
[the good news is that santa grabs it! the bad news is as he does it skids real neat over and down the heel of junpei's palm, whoops]

[ maybe TWO bandaids
Santa whips his scarf off and hands it over to him. ]
Look, put pressure on that with this, I'm going to go try and grab some first aid crap from the prop room, okay? DO NOT TOUCH THAT AGAIN IN THE MEANTIME.
