Ellie Carter "Alright, alright. I don't wanna gossip about him 'cus I like the guy, buuut," and then she continues into the gossip, "He's got some family issues or something? It was a big family graveyard. Also it was goth as fuck."
Kaoru Naito “This ain’t gossip! Yer just… tellin’ me facts! It ain’t my fault th’ wardens shooed my ass away fer real fer once!” His nosy ass is trying to intrude on a lot of projections, he has nothing better to do— and he literally likes Vincent (right now). “Goth family graveyard, a’right. Hereditary gothness. I follow.”
Ellie Carter "Naww, I actually asked him if he had some weird Addams family shit going on and his family isn't even goth like that. It's just his haunted mind. Anyway, ummmm, there was a ghost woman in the vision but I don't wanna just assume that means she's his victim, ya knoooow." She's really trying not to say it looks like he killed his wife.
Kaoru Naito “A ghost woman? Like, what’d she do? She’s hauntin’ a graveyard? Don’t ghosts belong there?”
Ellie Carter "She was real pink and floating about and doing fuck all! And, I stabbed her. Like, I got possessed by a knife and stabbed her."
Kaoru Naito “Fact check, she wasn’t real, LOL………” Heheheh. This takes priority over his real reaction.
Ellie Carter Ellie laughs. "Okay, well, I still stabbed her real good. Like, seven times or something.."
Ellie Carter "Nah, and I guess I was like stabbing her grave? But she was floating above me all bleeding. And then she just faded away ghost-style."
Kaoru Naito “‘kay.” He starts counting on his fingers. Then pursing his lips to one side and trying to count on his other fingers. “… Uhh, how many zeroes’ that ‘gain? That convert t’ like, a million handjobs?”
Ellie Carter She laughs. "Am I paying you to give you a handjob? You know, honestly, for a hundred-K I thought I'd be gettin' more than handjobs."
Kaoru Naito “Y’ know so little ‘bout this world. If you ain’t gonna give me more deets, c’mon, tell me ‘bout Hikaru’s shit now!”
Ellie Carter "Alright, but this one is gonna cost more than handjobs. Hikaru's… okay, I think he killed a politician. There was a hotel room and some note from some guy who was like… the Attorney General of Japan or something. And there was some really strong wine. I was at this one with Akemi and Bow-wow, who was acting weird as fuck and fell off the balcony. Oh, maybe Hikaru killed the victim that way!"
Ellie Carter She reads his mind. "Yeah, that's literally it. No one even pushed him. He just, like, vanished apparently? I dunno, I was leaving the room 'cus he started calling me Mom."
Kaoru Naito “I’m guessin’ not Akemi, y’ mean Bow-wow? Y’know, ya kinda go through these details fast as fuck.”
Ellie Carter She laughs, cackling at that. "Ohhhh, I've been told that before! Can ya believe it? Yeah, no, the fucking dog."
Kaoru Naito “Dog was callin’ you mom?” He feels like she’s playing him on some level by making him say these sentences. “Like, why?”
