[If it had been mentioned before
it's my bad and not Dylas', so we'll just say he didn't catch on until now. Sh.]Then...how the hell do you think it was me?! I don't own a blade, I just have my claws. Doesn't something seem wrong about this to you? I don't...if it were me...they'd have been slashed, or...or they'd be missing something.
[He has a sick feeling in his gut about something, though. There's one more thing that isn't adding up to him.]
no subject
[Perhaps a confirmation that Dylas wasn't totally himself during the attack. Ales knows that look on Dylas' face. He knows what it's like when he's tired of showing compassion and sympathy. To put this much energy into worrying tells a lot.
He hopes this fellow non-human isn't the type to do something stupid like murder for fun.]
Could you stab someone with them? If you weren't in full control, say, if someone who wasn't used to your body tried to figure out how claws worked, would it be possible?
...And what to you mean "missing something"?
no subject
[But that's not something he wants to hear. They don't crystallize, do they? The natives. That's...two people dead who will never come back to life. If it was him, was he controlled? Or was it his own limit break?
How is he supposed to figure that out?]
My claws aren't that long. [Quietly, he admits that, and then he lifts his hand. His fingers look slightly off, like someone stretched them to be just one millimeter towards "too long," but aside from that and the claws they look like...claws, about an inch or an inch and a half long. They're slightly darker in color, but...it looks like he'd have to use a lot of force to stab someone with them, and it wouldn't be clean.] And claws aren't complicated, they're...hell, I don't know. They're not hard to figure out. They don't look like a blade, that's all I know.
[He's ignoring that last question for now because it would have been obvious if any of them were missing the thing he was speaking about. But if the murder fits his elements...ice, inhuman ears, limit break...but it doesn't match his claws, what does it mean? That's what he wants to know.]
no subject
[Sparks says that out loud, but he doesn't even sound convinced of it. The idea of mind control left too many what-ifs.]
Ice... Coulda been some kinda icicle attack, maybe. Somethin' that stabbed the victims, then melted. No weapon left behind.
[It was far-fetched, but a lot of things were possible with magic.]
no subject
[Koporo looks a little unsure. His Limit Break does involve ice magic, not just making his hands cold, and he'll explain that to the investigators. Dylas seems to be growing increasingly nervous and a little desperate.]
If...if it were me, how would anyone know? I don't need to be mind-controlled to kill people. My limit break puts me in a berserk state, right? I still don't understand what the hell that means, and it's annoying.
[Koporo looks nervous, too, but Dylas continues, speaking to...himself, more than anyone.]
I've been on rampages before. Back...where I come from. It's because I'm a Wendigo. So, if it were me, how would you know which it was? Was someone controlling me, or...or did I lose control? What if this is all my fault, dammit?!
[That cup of coffee? Dylas backhands it, sending it to shatter against the wall. He seems like he's ready to blame himself for this—is there anything about the crime scene that can tell which is more likely, him losing control or him being controlled?]
no subject
[Ales sounds out that unfamiliar word. In a world with no humans, Wendigos were not a known legend. They had their own horror stories about cannibalism, but this one flies over Ales' head. Figuratively, in this case.]
Maybe both? We don't know if someone prodded you into breaking or if they tried to control your powers, but....
[IS Dylas even listening? Ales glares at the spot where the coffee mug hit the wall in disdain. There really is no need to be upset about mind control. What was so bad about killing some people you didn't know?]
Either way, you're no more than partially to blame.
[No one should have let Ales talk to someone in emotional distress.]
no subject
Sparks looks to Ales, thinking something over.]
There's gotta be a way to set off someone's limit break. Right? A spell, a potion, a Job ability...
[More notes are shuffled through. He's got the scoop on some Jobs from the labs in here.]
no subject
[But where did the blade come from? He looks down at his hands. If he'd attacked three people, they'd be slashed up, probably even bitten, but no one's mentioned that. He's still not 100% sure he's the culprit, he just needs to know how he could have summoned a blade.]
I thought I was done. I thought I was done with all of this.
no subject
It's taking a lot for Ales to hold back on the snark. He has theories on how Dylas got hold of a blade: mastermind handed it to him, he dropped it into the sewers...there's a lot that mind control wipes out.]
Look, Dylas. Would you mind explaining what you mean by being done? Is there something we have to keep in mind?
no subject
Being a vampire, they don't make a sound.]
...It doesn't matter. I did it. I killed them.
no subject
[Hang on, is he confessing now?]
Wait, what? Just like that?
no subject
[His head hurts. His head really hurts. But it doesn't matter, because he's convinced he's guilty just because of his guilt complex, because of all the people he's killed. But the evidence is there. Ice, a blade, he doesn't know. He doesn't know, but he does.]
Who else could it have been!? I...dammit, there were ice burns, right? And my hands...
no subject
The 'wendigo' is a legendary monster, supposedly native to America and Canada. It was believed that they evolved out of people who resorted to cannibalism, and they were often associated with greed, winter, famine, starvation...things like that. The stories originated with the Native American populace. Some people did develop what they called 'wendigo psychosis.' There were quite a few famous cases about it, too.
[But she shouldn't derail the conversation too much. If there was ice, and if Dylas became such a creature for his limit break, then they're that much closer to cracking the case. She turns back to Dylas, and her expression softens.]
There are other forces at play here, Dylas. It's likely that people are being controlled and used as weapons. There would be no way for you to reach your Limit Break on your own otherwise.
[She takes one of those 'hands' and squeezes it gently.]
Anything you can remember might help. And if you were being used, we need to make sure you're protected from the person who's using you. Relax, and try to remember that night.
