[So. Today was certainly a thing, wasn't it – busy day and all that.

It's late in the evening when he goes to talk to Yeager that night; it's not so late that he's outside the boundaries of when Yeager would reasonably be awake, but it's enough so that there won't be a lot of people around. The knocking on the door isn't quite as urgent or incessant as it usually is, either; it's loud, because he still hasn't quite gotten a decent grasp on how restraint works, but it's more broadly-spaced, more patient-seeming if Yeager doesn't respond right away.

There are signs in his appearance that something's off; he's disregarding the usual black jacket for now, and there are some bloodstains on the cuffs of his sleeves that he either hasn't noticed or doesn't care about – they're just traces, in fairness, not terribly eye-catching but showing dark against the very edges of the white fabric regardless. He's also seeming to have difficulty standing still; it's not in a fidgety way, per se, more like he's tempted to pace but doesn't want to wander too far from the door.

You in, Yeager?]

[There are a few things that Top Dollar has been perfectly content not discussing with anyone; weirdly enough, the secret as outlined in the motive wasn't anything he's been trying to conceal, it's just something that's come up maybe once during a room search, accidentally.

Unfortunately, something that wasn't the secret as outlined in the motive came up in this room search, and it's probably something that actually needs to be discussed with the person that found it, if no one else.

So Duke will get a note under his door sometime after the trial and Rean's...that; it's simple and scrawled-out in Top Dollar's usual handwriting.]


Room 807. Figure there's something you need to know.
- Jason


[Show up or don't; it's your call.]
devilsnight: (WHAT † fuckin' musicians am i right)
[It looks like this morning is seeing the return of that incessant, rapid-fire knocking that's indicating that Top Dollar wants to talk and he wants to talk right fucking now; it's loud despite the gloves (because as always, this man doesn't really understand restraint), but as usual it's also not accompanied with shouting or anything, so it's not...completely and alarmingly urgent.

It's also not five in the morning. Thankfully. It's seven? Which is unusual. But at least it's not five.

You'd better be awake, Yeager, given that you seem to think six is an acceptable hour of the morning to be up.]
devilsnight: (ASSURE † for a ghost you bleed just fine)
[It's usually a bad sign when Top Dollar is up before nine; it's one thing when it's because Yeager woke him up, but it's another when it's on his own – that usually implies that something's gone wrong, either in his head or otherwise, because if nothing else he appreciates being left to sleep in as long as he damn well pleases here.

It's a bad thing when he's up before nine; five in the morning is something else entirely. God only knows what; either way, it's at five in the morning when the pounding on Yeager's door starts. It's rapid and incessant but at least it isn't accompanied by any yelling or anything; just...constant banging on the door until something happens. His gloves aren't doing anything to mute the sound, so he's presumably really hitting the damn thing – but then, it's not like he's ever been good with restraint, either.

Wake the fuck up, Yeager. There's company.]
devilsnight: (WHAT † fuckin' musicians am i right)
[It's well after the strip search has concluded that Top Dollar returns to Yeager's room; he'd been agitated during the actual incident, and he's no less agitated now, and it's one of those things where he should probably stop himself from seeing anyone because god knows nothing good is going to come of it.

But at the same time, Yeager's...that had raised more questions than it answered (and in all fairness, it had answered some); he'll knock, then, the sound sharp and abrupt – a lot like pretty much everything else he does, really.

You there, or...]
devilsnight: (STUDY † let's try that again shall we)
[So, everything today has been shit, everything Wednesday has been shit, and Top Dollar does not exactly foresee this getting a lot better, given how we all tend to spend the weekend around here; at the same time, Duke will be getting a note under his door at some point on Thursday night, a good while after the meeting regarding What In The Good Fuck Are We Doing With Hazama (And Other Fun Discussions About Torture).]

Room 307. Got something to discuss with you.

[The note is written in the same ungodly rushed scrawl from earlier in the day, on the notes pinned up everywhere; show up or don't, either way. It's your call.]

[...So that was a shitshow and a half, for a lot of reasons; if Top Dollar were a better person he'd probably be having a reaction to this that isn't mild mania and "well, that was interesting", but the fact remains that he isn't and so here he...sort of is, a brief while after the fact, trying to work out what in the good hell he should be doing with himself and in the meantime just staying in his room, sorting his useless crap into piles because it's something to do with his hands.

He'll move back out into the relative open after a while, though, after he's come across some things that he'd shoved into the damn drawer before bed. He's vaguely aware that Kevin is nearby, rooming-wise, and the guy had seemed upset, and again, were Top Dollar a better person he'd probably be concerned; however, the fact of the matter is that he-

...

......

...he...has no idea what his brain thinks it's doing but 'concern' is probably close enough, and that's confusing and sort of annoying the longer he thinks about it, so he's going to just kind of pause in the hallway until he stops having feelings again and can just move on with his damn life.

(Congratulations, Kevin, you may have graduated to having a whole half a fuck given about you.)

Jut. Let him knock and see if Kevin's in and still, y'know, in one piece, yeah?]
devilsnight: (ENTER † came down with a case of death)
[Well, will you look at that; we're a surprising fucklot of people down and we're just ending our second week here. Maybe this place won't suck as badly as he'd thought after all.

He'd told Yeager to send Hazama at him, assuming Hazama wanted his shit back, but you know what, he's bored off his ass and there's time before sleep happens, and he's not precisely in the mood to deal with his shellshocked teenaged roommate. So. He'll be playing a fun game of Where In The World Is Fucking Hazama before eventually finding the guy; once he's verified that There In The World Is Fucking Hazama, he has absolutely no shame in approaching.]


Got something for you, if you've got the time.

[Well, that sure as hell was a thing, wasn't it.

Yeager seemed cheerful enough about the whole thing, not like Top Dollar can blame him – after all, the guy didn't die, he sort of deserves the victory lap. That's not going to stop him from approaching him as soon as he gets the opportunity; he's got something that's half-business to discuss, after all.]


Hey. Real nice job on not dying; I've got something for you upstairs.
