prologue, post-investigation

[ it's luck (convenient pc writing) that varian runs into steph near the dorms after the investigation. he looks like he might be sick. hm. he does try to weakly greet her tho. ]

-- Stephanie. Hey. I--I, uh, I'm glad you're alright.

[ unlike. gi-gan. yike ]

prologue, friday, post-investigation w/ veronica

[ varian sees veronica on his way back the fuck away from the corpse encased in glass because hm nope after investigation and he jogs to catch up to her ]

Veronica! You're, you're okay?

[ he's. relieved, really. ]

prologue, friday, post-investigation w/ sanji

[ i like when they talk in the kitchen so even tho there is no real reason for sanji to come back here except to cook i'm making this convo close to the kitchen you can't stop me i have the set-up power

also varian was specifically looking for sanji so it makes sense shut up. he seems relieved when he spots him ]

Sanji? You're-- are you okay?

prologue, friday, post investigation w/ fane

[ so that was an adventure. let's say they go back to the dorm to talk privately. also because varian needs to be far away from corpses in glass cases for personal reasons. ]

That's... one way to start the off the day. [ a bad one. ] I, I want to talk about the ink stain you found. Or. Well, I think we should? They said we'd have a "trial" tomorrow [ whatever that is. @ corona's justice system what are you ] and I want-- I need to know who did this, and those footsteps are obviously a clue.
