Robert snuck down under his desk, and then started to barrel roll away. He inched closer, and closer, to Mimsy's leg, humming the Mission Impossible theme.

Okay the Dice have deemed Ami TRUSTWORTHY even if she was a Lifer.
"Yeah, sounds good." Otto got up. Ami, quick! Take him away. What was he thinking trying to talk to MORE THAN ONE PERSON.
Kill him now.
...what was Robert doing.

Kostya nodded at Polish-Fellow, repressing his flinch at the shoulder clap. It was acceptable, because that was part of fitting in, and Polish-Fellow was far less intimidating than Robert.
"Could do," he said carefully, eyeballing the group of people then turning back to Mimsy and Polish-Fellow. "Am open to vhatever you vish." After all, he'd just arrived. It was polite to defer.

Seeing that his work here was done he just turned around and slunk on out in that quiet unnerving way that he had when he didn't really feel like talking to anyone at the moment.
He had things to do.
...Like beat Deryk to the coffee machine.
...With that in mind Jude suddenly started running.

"I need one of the archives opened ... it needs a Death key ..." She cocked an eyebrow at the mischief going on under the table, and gave the entire group a judgmental stare. "Who the ******** are they?"
And why was her poor, sweet, innocent baby Otto with them?

"Right.. I'll help." His gaze shifted to the others, shrugging listlessly. "There was a bunch of people, and I needed info. I was takin' advantage of an opportunity."
But now he'd learned investigations were best left as quiet, one on one or behind the scenes. This was the dumbest idea he'd ever had. Now he was paranoid and becoming delusional.
Damn did he need a nap.

Ami totally got a friendly big happy wave from Ofelia.
She needed to return the books to her, but for now Ofelia was still eating all the cookies. All of them.

Ami frowned. It was a death's job to gather intellect, that was true, but Otto didn't look so good. A little antsy. "Yes, well, let's go to the archive, and I'll let you return to your duties?"
She stood on her tiptoes and put a hand on Otto's forehead. "Mmm, you don't feel warm," she said under her breath. She shrugged and pointed Otto in the direction of the room. "After you."
Ofelia's waves were noticed, but Ami ignored them. She didn't do that "socializing" thing.

That's okay Ami, Ofelia likes you for you, just the way you are. Though she was getting a little thirsty, was there something to drink around her? Also why were people speaking weird languages and why was there a guy rolling around on the floor?
It was funny the amount of things she just now was noticing when she stopped shoveling food into her mouth.

STILL not done? Jerry was scooted out of the Artifact Study area with sharp words about patience for the amount he had paid. He still felt he had paid plenty and the thing should be done by now... with a grunt, he realized he had a text message... from Otto? He was delighted to hear news from the teen, but his expression darkened. Well, he didn't know much about what had happened with the council but... well, if the guy wanted t talk- Quote: Text from Jerry: On my way! It seemed there was a crowd already, a lot of familiar faces, and some new ones to him- He hovered at the back, fidgeting with his guitar strap. "Is this all over... er.. what happened?"

Otto raised a brow as the small woman checked his forehead. "M'not sick." He mumbled, grumbling. "Yeah.. let's go in a sec, okay?" He hoped Ami would stick close, sure the woman would help him escape if need be, because he was about to confront...
Jerry.
"Hi dude.." Otto grumbled as he approached the tall man. "Nothin, I was just wondering what everyone else knew about the council's murder, since I know jack squat. Seems everyone else knows the same." Or not. Those creepy, suspicious bastards. Lucky and Robert were some sort of puppet pawns, clearly guilty of something.
"Um.. I'm about to hep Ami with somethin' but do ya know anythin'?"

"Oh! Well, er.. I don't know any details, really... Just how we've been asked to fill in gaps, you know?" He drummed his fingers on his guitar strap, brightening up, as h straightened his glasses, "When you're done with Ami, maybe you'd like to have a jam session? I could have sworn I saw Molly, she could get her violin!"

Band band band, this guy was just...
just....
The most suspricous one of them ALL.
Okay... so Jerry was a murderer now. Yeah... yeah Otto needed a nap. "Maybe later, dude.." He murmured, fear in his eyes. Did he just want to get him alone all this time to kill him? Silence him? Was he asking too many questions? WAS HE NEXT TO BE ASSASSINATED!?
Wait... it made sense. Otto discovered the bodies... most of the Lifers here were suspicious.. H sent him on this dumb mission... and a Sun was the... was the...
Oh Dear Lord.
"Ami... Ami I'm gunna be sick..." He tugged on the girl's sleeve, face paling suddenly.

Occasionally, Mimsy entertained a theory: while working on her Masters, she'd snapped, murdered her mentor, and was now in a mental institution for the criminally insane that happened to constantly humor its patients.
Today offered very solid evidence that this was more than just a theory.
She halted her conversation with Kostya to try and place the familiar song someone was humming.
"Do you hear that?" she asked, fearing that she'd begun to hear things.

Ami waited patiently by the door, not saying or interrupting Otto's talk with Jerry. If Otto had some last minute work to compile, she wasn't going to stop him. Just watch from afar.
When Otto finally turned back to her, he looked absolutely abysmal. She quickly shrugged an arm under his shoulder and offered what little support a girl half a foot shorter could.
She also gave Jerry a death glare, one that said, I will be back to kill you.
"I'm right here shh. You can open the archive later. I'm taking you to your room," she murmured, still glaring at Jerry, even as she walked away.
[ exiting w/ Otto~ ]
