[Catching her in the lobby! She may or may not have some, uh, light scratches on her face, but that doesn't stop her from offering Lup a smile and a bow when she sees her.]
Hello! How are you today?
Hello! How are you today?
[ ... why is she scratches, stop fighting bears ]
Uhhhh. Peachy-keen, thanks for asking. [ she says, where she's sprawled out on a chair. squint. ] What's up with your face?

[Sometimes... things happen. She lifts a hand to one of the scratches, mindful not to end up poking her glasses instead, and frowns.]
Did you happen to see the note in the kitchen? Tsukino-san and I fell into the river last night, and we ran into some, ah... trouble.

I sure did. [ she does not move from the chair, but. ] Tsu... who, what. Who is that.
[ a beat. ] The note said mermaids, which is weird because they don't typically live in freshwater.

Usagi Tsukino. She's blond, and usually wears her hair like... [She gestures at her head with both of her hands, balling her hands into fists to imitate Usagi's hair dango, and then lowering them to imitate her pigtails.] This. Twin tails.
[Or, something like that.]
... Honestly, I totally didn't think to question it. But it must be because this is another world, right? The rules ought to be different.

Oh, the girl who can't break an egg without shattering it into a gazillion pieces. Yeah, I know her.
[ she shrugs. ] I guess. You'd think some rules would be consistent, but what the fuck do I know.

[Opens her mouth.
Closes it.
Opens it again.]
Something like that happened?
[USAGI????]
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you didn't know your stuff.

[ SNORT. she laughs. ]
Yeah, it did. She spent fifteen minutes trying to get eggshells out of the batter. [ as for the rest, she just shrugs. ] No, nothing here makes sense, so I probably don't know my stuff.

[She hasn't completely recovered from the shock when she walks into the kitchen, but that won't stop her from being polite. With a brief bow, her expression downtrodden, she murmurs a quiet:]
... Sorry, would you rather be left alone?
... Sorry, would you rather be left alone?
[ lup, who is lost in thought, startles about six feet into her grave at the sudden voice, and then - sighs out a noise and puts her coffee cup on the counter with a clatter. ]
Jesus. Be louder next time. No, I don't care. What was your name again?
Jesus. Be louder next time. No, I don't care. What was your name again?
[Wincing a bit as soon as she realizes what she's done. Welp.]
Ah— I'm sorry! I didn't mean to startle you.
[She would, maybe, benefit from being a little less sneaky. Opening her mouth, she... closes it a moment later, her eyebrows furrowed. After a moment:]
I'm Yoshizawa.

I'm Yoshizawa.
It's fine. Someone got murdered, or dead, whatever, we're all a little spooked. [ a beat. she saw that brief pause... ]
... You sure about that?
... You sure about that?
Uh huh. And I'm the queen of New Elfington.
Anyway. Guess we're on the lookout for a horrible killer.

Oh. Poor Tsukino-san... I wonder if I should offer to lend her a hand the next time I catch her in the kitchen. [Or, in another one that doesn't reveal Lup as a tattler, anyway.] ... Well, if it makes you feel better, I believe we're all in the same boat. This place is really strange.
But Yoshizawa really is my name...
[That said, uh. Her eyes widen, expression paling.]
You think a person did it?

[ lup is just chilling here in the lobby, staring at the ceiling. what a bad day huh. ]
[It sure was bad! She's mostly sniffling by the time she gets to the lobby, intent of making a beeline for the kitchen, but she pauses when she spots her.]
... Lup-san, are you okay?
[Probably not, but. Them votes.]
... Lup-san, are you okay?
[Probably not, but. Them votes.]
I have been better!
[ she says, sprawled out on the couch. ] But that's not news, huh? It's fine, I just shook an innocent kid down for his valuables and then sent him to his death.

... You didn't send him to his death. [Firmly. Or, as firmly as she can when she keeps sniffling.] Everyone came to their own conclusions, and voted accordingly. It isn't any individual person's fault.
[ she peers over. ]
Do you actually believe that?
Do you actually believe that?
Okay. [ she says after a minute. ] Good.
I'm not gonna sit here and wallow in it, so you shouldn't either.

[She shakes her head.]
I'm not... wallowing. [She may be wallowing. Just a little. After a beat.] ... Um. You enjoy cooking, right?
