Yes. That's the practical reason to keep them alive.

[tothemaxwell]

If we are simply keeping them alive until the vote, and subsequent dispatch, then I have no complaints.

Yes, I am more than happy to assist. I will bring my sword to the trial.

[omegathree]

I will assist you in this endeavor, Shess.

[Val has always had a sword at his side, so there's nothing odd about that.]

[nonbelligerent]

Thank you.

It's Shirasu.

[tothemaxwell]

Hmm. That's an interesting development.

I can't say that I'm particularly close to him—on the contrary, he seems more standoffish than others. Valvatorez?

[omegathree]

He does seem to keep to himself while others are more open.

I've only spoken to him directly once, last week at the shrine.

[nonbelligerent]

Yes, that's been my impression as well.

I'll give more details tomorrow, but info I've gained this week point to him having lied during the trial and having some sort of connection to Kazuaki, as well as one to Hisoka, who I also have reason to believe was awake that night.

[tothemaxwell]

It is likely, then, that he is not standoffish, so much as he is trying to mitigate his involvement with others to hide his intentions. However, his interest in the shrine's cleaning last week indicated a genuine interest in... doing right, by someone. Perhaps he believes he is conducting a cleansing of his own design.

[hm]

Hisoka seems to have been, at the very least, passively involved in all of these situations. I truly wonder what he encountered last night that led to his passing? I suppose we will know soon enough.

[omegathree]

It's a possibility to keep in mind. If he keeps distance between himself and everyone else, then no one can discern his reasoning.

We'll be able to conduct a thorough investigation tomorrow. Provided we can find the correct locations.
