.: Shinohara :.
Shinohara snapped towards Jasper's comment, abruptly turning to shout after Jasper "Touch one hair on his head and I'll see to it you're in a body bag!" grinding his teeth as he shouted, he sighed soon after, knowing better than to just lose his temper, but that Jasper character was really pushing it.
Shinohara shook his head, coming back to his senses as quickly told Evan that it would be fine to meet in the kitchen, then he went onto disagreeing with the blonde detective as he replied softly
"He won't, my son might look like some crazy maniac... and hey, half of the time he is, but he won't hurt her.. if anything, he'll scare Charles off, can you trust me on this?" Shinohara kept his voice nice and fatherly, wanting Saionji to believe him, and also wanting to try to calm Yuki's nerves as he reassured them that things would be just fine.
Now addressing his decreased group, Shinohara smiled as he knew they had to meet up in the kitchen anyway, so figured it would help to get everyone's minds off of the bad stuff, and perhaps relax for even just a moment before they would be raiding wherever the captives were being kept.
"Now! I don't know about everyone else, but my stomach is grumbling.. and you know what they say, when hungry, you should eat honey!" Shinohara cracked one of his signature terrible jokes, that perhaps didn't even make sense unless one had watched Winnie the pooh when they were younger, then taking Saionji and Yuki's hands, the man started for the kitchen.
"I'll trust you to follow, and let you know if you do run... I'll catch you just as quickly." Shinohara gave a stern warning to Z, making sure she knew that she would have to follow them to the kitchen as well, then continued to make his way down the hall.
.: Charles :.
Charles leisurely made his way as he balanced the scythe on his shoulder, admiring the art on his manor walls as he went on down the halls and even dared to reach out to trace a finger against the wallpaper, grunting in dismay as speckles of dust wiped off onto his fingertip as he did so, The old man didn't have time to get someone to properly clean since this game became just a week or so ago, although Charles was horrible with time, so it could of even been longer than that.
No matter, Charles would be leaving this mansion very soon, he just had to exterminate a few more rodents that snuck in and he would be done with it. once the officials were gone, he could leave without a trace as he usually always did and the murders would be framed on Koizumi and Suzuya, they already believed they were servants of this mansion, and would no doubt defend that statement when more authorities came rushing in to save the investigators. it was a perfect little trap, and no one would know that Charles was the real mastermind of this all, he would even go as far to possibly get a name change so it held no meaning.
This was all mindless thoughts though, and were easily interrupted as he heard Jasper calling out in dismay, and someone suspiciously asking if anyone were there, and it just so happened at that very moment, Charles stepped into view, cackling as he eyed Jasper complaining about a fake injury on the floor, and someone he presumed to be one of the many investigators that entered this mansion.
Charles leered down the hallway at them, blocking their path as a eerie smirk graced his features as he once again balanced the scythe on his shoulders, his eyes holding delight as he slowly asked a simple question.
"Oh my... are you one of those investigators I've been hearing so much about?"
.: Suzuya :.
It was unclear how many hours passed until the Albino started to awake, his eyes slowly opening as he blinked and tried to take in his surroundings, they felt familiar and yet somehow not quite right and he just couldn't piece together why.
"mm.." Suzuya mumbled, gingerly rubbing his eyes as he helped himself up to look around, and the Albino almost instantly froze as he caught sight of just who was in the chair beside him.
It was his torturer, Komaeda was just sleeping in the chair beside the stitched boy without any fear that Suzuya could take him down, and something about how relaxed the other looked irked Suzuya, his blood boiling as he narrowed his eyes towards the other, hating how defenseless he thought the stitched boy to be, when Suzuya was easily capable of murder.
Suzuya could already feel his heart starting to race as the adrenaline filled his bones and his hands started to shake as he pulled himself up into a crouch on the bed, the stitched boy was known to act on instinct and now was no different, so within mere minutes despite the pain Suzuya felt wrecking his body, the Albino lunged and tackled Komaeda, taking both the ultimate luckster and the chair down as he tried desperately to loop his arms around the other's neck so perhaps he could snap it in the fall.
