Found a stick that was whittled down to a point at one end. Any of you want to cop to making this and then leaving it behind, or should I assume it was made by some other group of kidnapping victims who passed through here at some point?

Volume's off, btw. Text or bust.

Me, too. This is the first thing that doesn't seem like random flotsam, though.

What did you find?

[trialbyliar]

a six-pack of beer!

[No one could be blamed for assuming that's a lie.]

[cactusy]

[YEAH, EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS]

Don't drink it.

[trialbyliar]

ehhh??
aww why not
i don't even like booze but i'd rather drink something sealed in a can than dirty river water
oooh, you think someone poisoned it??

[cactusy]

Alcohol is dehydrating.

You can't have alcohol.

[ He doesn't actually give a shit if you have alcohol, but he has to look like he gives a shit or his cover is blown.

In real life, Kokichi gets a light smack upside the head and Lalo tells him, "Don't tell everyone you're drinking beer, dipshit. You're still sixteen. Some of the hardasses here are gonna have a problem with it." ]

[trialbyliar]

meanie! tyrant!! who do you think you're bossing around, huh?

[ irl kokichi sticks his tongue out at lalo and only sips at it a little anyway, making faces at the taste every time. ]

[salamanca]

[ Lalo just laughs, loudly, at every dainty sip. "You'll get used to it!" he assures Kokichi, in response to the stinkface. "It'll put hair on your chest!"

He slaps his own chest in demonstration. ]

[trialbyliar]

[The oversized jacket with no shirt underneath already shows off plenty of his scrawny hairless chest, but he gives Lalo the flattest look possible and tugs the jacket open a little as if to say no amount of booze will do that.]

[salamanca]

[ That gets a decent belly laugh out of Lalo, who sets his half-drank beer down. He grins.

Better move fast, Kokichi. If you don't, you will find Lalo, with surprising speed and deliberateness, yanking you in close for a noogie. ]
