[It's later, after the trial, after everyone's gone back to their cabins. Everyone's gone to sleep. Everyone normal, anyway. Probably including Phoenix. But assuming he's not a super sound sleeper, he'll be woken up by a voice.]
Wright. Are you asleep? [It's dark, but Ogata is definitely hanging off the side of the bed, like some sort of horrible upsidedown goblin.]
[The whats up makes Ogata think he can disregard that first statement, so he will. And he disappears for a moment, only to, presumably, drop down to the floor with a soft swish of fabric, landing with a soft thump like a cat.
[What would even happen if you murdered someone on Saturday, really. That wouldn't be uninteresting to try.
But no he's not here for murder. Yet. At the question, he cants his head slightly to the side, as if thinking about it.]
No, I was just thinking. Everyone has been through this before, but it seems like some people have managed to not adjust at all. But you seemed calm the whole time.
That's not why I'm awake. [Immediately. He wants that to be clear. Then there's that little tic of his, where he smoothes his hair back, the motion probably familiar by now, even through the darkness.]
I'd say yes to the second question but I doubt you'd really offer it so freely.
[Well... the idea of food being some sort of remedy isn't completely absurd to Ogata, but generally he's only heard of them solving physical problems, illness and such. SO he's dubious.]
[ well at least he can keep ogata occupied so he doesn't wake up the other kids. phoenix will carefully head out, too, as not to wake them, and definitely heading to the kitchen. ]
Ogata is quiet the whole way there, and when he's told to prepare himself, he perks up a bit, attentive. Does he really think this pudding stuff is going to be what Phoenix has claimed? Not really.

Week 0, Saturday night (or possibly technically Sunday morning? Late.)
Wright. Are you asleep?
[It's dark, but Ogata is definitely hanging off the side of the bed, like some sort of horrible upsidedown goblin.]
no subject
You know... I desperately need my beauty sleep.
[ clearly. ]
But what's up?
no subject
And he drops to a crouch next to Phoenix's bed.]
Which of the places were you in before?
no subject
Murder mansion. With the possessions.
Had some kind of midnight revelation?
no subject
But no he's not here for murder. Yet. At the question, he cants his head slightly to the side, as if thinking about it.]
No, I was just thinking. Everyone has been through this before, but it seems like some people have managed to not adjust at all. But you seemed calm the whole time.
no subject
[ ok phoenix ]
Is it keeping you up at night? Do you want to know my secret?
no subject
[Immediately. He wants that to be clear. Then there's that little tic of his, where he smoothes his hair back, the motion probably familiar by now, even through the darkness.]
I'd say yes to the second question but I doubt you'd really offer it so freely.
no subject
[ why is he awake then... clearly it's to gossip about boys. ]
Pudding.
[ shut up phoenix ]
no subject
.... Pudding?
[He sounds very confused. It's possible he doesn't even know what pudding is.]
no subject
[ oh boy ]
no subject
[Squinting. By that phrasing he can make an educated guess;]
It's some sort of food?
no subject
Often used for a natural remedy for all sorts of afflictions and feelings.
no subject
You're making that up.
no subject
[ clearly they should go to the kitchen right now ]
no subject
Whether I believe you or not, it's not like there's anything to do about it now, in the middle of the night.
no subject
Didn't think you were planning on going back to sleep so quickly.
no subject
I’m not. But I thought you were.
[With your claim of needing beauty sleep.]
no subject
Hmm... well, maybe I need some beauty pudding too.
no subject
Fine then.
[And he heads out of the cabin. Possible to the kitchen? He certainly isn't going to ask for Phoenix's pudding secrets properly.]
no subject
[ well at least he can keep ogata occupied so he doesn't wake up the other kids. phoenix will carefully head out, too, as not to wake them, and definitely heading to the kitchen. ]
Prepare yourself.
no subject
Ogata is quiet the whole way there, and when he's told to prepare himself, he perks up a bit, attentive. Does he really think this pudding stuff is going to be what Phoenix has claimed? Not really.
But he's curious.]
What exactly is this supposed to cure, again?
no subject
Everything. Just keep your mind open, and your appetite healthy.
no subject
If this is just some elaborate con to poison me, I'll make sure to find a way to haunt you, Wright.
[He can't not give this disclaimer.]
no subject
I would never sacrifice an innocent pudding to poison you. I'd use jello, instead.
[ hard to say if he's joking or not... ]
no subject
What the hell is jello?
no subject
A deadly weapon, in the right man's hands.
no subject
... Aren't we talking about food?
no subject
[ anyway it's time for pudding ]
no subject
[He would know.]
no subject
[ time to start rummaging around for pudding.... ]
no subject
[It's not HIS fault it's the TIMELINES fault!!!]
no subject
[ pudding hunt continues ]
no subject
[Is that the soft noise of a tummy rumble? Cat wants a midnight snack.]
