week 5 - ichigo - monday

[completelycrazy]

[It's late, but Newt is hanging around in the McDonald's, picking halfheartedly at a McFlurry that does not taste like victory and is therefore melting in its cup. He should've spent his rips on the real ice cream place this week.

He's also sporting a new outfit seeing as uhhhhhh Izaya trashed his old one. Thanks, asshole.]

[Newt snorts.] Unlikely.

[But he'll leave it at that.]

I don't think it is either, not anymore. Or, I don't know, maybe I always knew there was more to it than that. But I wanted to, uh, bring the Player win within reach should we fail at solving the larger mysteries and have to rely on the backup plan.

[And then, mm. Newt grits his teeth. He's so sick of this.]

I didn't torture him. What Kaiba failed to mention about the truth serum I used is that it's primarily an anesthetic. The goal was to get him talking, yes, but the drug did the job. I only cut off his fingers because I couldn't get his damn ring off. He'd already tried to shoot me with his psych once. I couldn't take that chance again.

[He takes a breath, his eyes dropping to the side.]

The second dose was to knock him out before I slit his throat.
