I've spoken to Pickles on the matter. He was determined to avoid the contract at all costs, so we can likely rule his death out to being because of the link.
[ Which means someone made the conscious decision to kill a dog, which fucking sucks. ]
I don't suppose you've heard anything on the matter from Mr. Akabane and Mr. Kasuga either?
Mr. Akabane was really skeptical of the entire supernatural portion of everything. More or less sounded like he thought it was stupid. I'm inclined to think that he didn't link with anyone... but I can't say that for certain.
[ But considering the other corpse is Ichiban, he does think it's probably VERY unlikely. ]
No, it's fine. I'd rather have these sorts of things to worry about.
[ No Mathis fuckin' pulled a knife on someone he's actually very stressed out about this, he is hanging on by a thread. But he'd rather hear that Mathis has recovered and is doing better than think and mull much longer on these dead bodies. Small wins. ]
[ Because he doesn't know that it's a curse, Mathis!!! He was told ICly that affliction effects can include heightened aggression so he's always on edge. Tuesday was fucking awful because of this. ]
That's good. Just want to be sure the effects are temporary, and not anything worse.
It's not a lot of time to be able to observe symptoms, but... still have to try.
I have. Looks like you two went through whatever temporary effect myself and Mr. Geto did, so... and I feel perfectly fine about him now, and in general. Well, beyond the other unrelated symptoms.
[ Of fuckin' death, distress, and depression. ]
So I hope it stays that way. These additional influences are really unnecessary.
They're still willing to help us, even if it's just because they hate the situation more than they like us. Even if they're not social, it speaks to values.
