WEEK 1 - SUNDAY / KAITO (evening, post-execution, lounge)
[ If this keeps up, he's going to develop some kind of alcohol addiction.
This isn't the first time that he's found himself in the lounge nursing a drink of some sort. But after the events of this morning's execution (although Seto privately thinks that it was more of a torture session than anything), he finds that he needs it more than ever.
He's not one to subscribe to the idea of luck, either, but there's just a feeling about this place that gives him the impression that from here on out, it's only going to get worse.
If he wants to survive this and get out of here alive, he'll need all the help that he can get.
Which is why he slides into the seat opposite Kaito Kuroba with a practiced nonchalance - he's found that if you act like nothing is wrong, people are less likely to poke into your business and/or overhear whatever you are actually talking about.
It's a useful skill, especially considering the conversation that he intends to have with Kaito. ]
Your cards. Are you up for a game?
[ Then again, a card game is also a good enough cover as any, he supposes. No one would suspect an alliance to be forged under the cover of a card game. ]

[ It's curt, but it's not meant to be rude. He understands, on a certain level, where Kaito is coming from. He's condemned people to death for far worse, and after Atem had... crushed his mind, for lack of a better word, sometimes the fact that he did it and how he was responsible for their deaths still plagues him, no matter how he tries to tune it out.
He pushes the draw pile closer towards Kaito. ]
Own it. Use the fact that you were responsible, in part, for Hana Song's death. Know, for a fact, that you can and will seek justice even if it means killing a culprit.
[ His gaze is sharp. There's another challenge in there. Will you, Kaito? Seto's waiting for an answer, mostly because he needs to know if you're an alliance worth pursuing. ]
no subject
[both eyebrows shoot up at the sharpness of that gaze, of the harshness of those words. his grip on his cards tightens, and he can feel his heart leap into his throat]
[he's not a killer. he's not. he's not. not after his father's murder. that was his code, and he wanted to stick to it]
[but. . .]
. . . I'll be damned if I let the person who killed Jason and framed Hana get away with it.
[he says, voice low, as his gaze drops again and he picks up another card from the draw pile]
[he's not a killer. but Jason and Hana didn't deserve what happened to them, and he wasn't about to let the Ghost roam free for their crimes]
