[it takes a couple jumps through mental hoops for Badou to figure out what the hell Hiruma's even talking about, but it's straightforward once he realises they've been (of course) looking into the same goddamn thing]
[he's been researching "Tessa," but he hasn't gotten too far -- only that she's not on the contact lists, doesn't have a home in Holly Heights, and that she used to be a newscaster, but now was the owner of some dumb spa you needed -- and here we go -- exclusive passes to get into]
aquifolia ?
u think thats where they are ?

Fuck if I know, but Tessa's directly linked to the Landlord, she was at his Easter dinner.
In March, earlier this year, everyone wound up there.
I didn't get a chance to speak with her, but it looks like I didn't need to, now that she's shown herself again.
I want in there.
I'm getting one of those fucking passes.

Assuming people will get them in their mailboxes the usual Lessor snail-mail way.
I'm gonna go for a run and check them, see if I can lift a few.
Highly likely that'll fall through, I'll bribe the fuck out of the people who've got them.
If you find out anyone in possession, offer them everything I've got, I'll cover your expenses, if it means nabbing one.

It seems that way, but he's shirking responsibility for it.
Could be that, could be actual murders.
I think it's a fucking ruse to create as much drama as possible; we all know what month it is.
Not the murders, despite the quality of the handheld cameras being absolute shit.
My guess is random selection, people to place the blame on.
Then these fuckwits will ignore the Landlord and start pointing fingers.
Paranoia's an ugly thing.
But.
People die and come back, the people who were murdered will come back.
Every single one of those victims, and others that may come, will be returned to us.
Like the castaways on the boat, like the islands you guys were sent away to.
I am going to fuck his shit up.

[it's a relief, Badou suddenly realises, to talk to Hiruma]
i already got accused
i guess u saw it
even if he did blackmail or bribe
residents 2 do the killing
its still his fault
the how dont matter as much
ive wanted 2 kill him since i got here
[but for all that, for all their grim purpose -- doubt, and the basic facts of mortality Badou has had to live with -- slips in]
how do u know theyll come back

[hiruma knows full well that badou sees him as a shores to wash up on.
so he's vowed to be at the other end of the line for him, for anyone who needs a wake-up call, as long as he's able to be; when things get too surreal, when people seem too cozy. it's the least he can do for someone who alleviates the significant weight on his shoulders, if only a little. to rely on least one person who hasn't fallen hook, line and sinker for this paradise.
—badou understands the urge to rip the throat out of anyone who tries to anchor him.]
Call someplace a paradise, and it's not going to last.
They're beginning to understand that now, even the ones who've tried to remain blissfully unaware.
They're beginning to associate the Lessor with the bad things that've been happening.
All they'll need is a couple more shoves in the right direction.
Despite that wishful thinking, some idiots here are gullible as fuck.
You have a gun, so I don't need to remind you to take it with you if you're going to go investigate.
We all need to keep our wits about us.
I only know it's a matter of time before they're given back, because I was killed here in the past.
I'm alive and well; they'll return, too, right as goddamn rain.
At that time, you can tell them how stupid they looked, sleeping while you were finding a way out of this shithole.
How's that for an I told you so.

Nill's here.
[he sounds tired, irritable, distracted -- it's like every other day, really, but the context makes it worse (and maybe the knowledge that he's been seeking someone who's probably dead every day since he got here)]
Heine was, but he fucked off yesterday.

[there's the tone that tells him badou has no idea where heine fucked off to]
Alright.
[a brief pause]
I'm going to assume you aren't in the house. Listen, neither of us likes this business of being looked after and having someone look after us - but Carol's worried, and you're right if you're thinking I'm using her as an excuse to put this out to you. Check in every few hours and don't do anything rash. It's dangerous outside but not to the point of panicking about it, so keep alert about anyone or anything suspicious.
Got it?

[normally, the authoritative tone would make him rankle, but there's a mix of exhaustion, stress, and -- and whatever it is he feels towards Hijikata now, ever since that one day -- that stops him from snapping back]
[he just informs him dully]
I cut a guy yesterday. It's fine, though.
[a pause, and then he adds]
There's no fucking killers on the street. It's the same as always. The only people givin' me a hard time are the ones who -- that fucking Fukawa talked to --
[bites off the rest of that sentence; he won't agree or disagree verbally to the parameters Hijikata's told him, but he'll likely follow them just fine]

Who and why.
[it only makes sense for hijikata to ask; "it's fine" won't cut it]
--no there aren't, I'm fully aware that the Landlord might have a hand in al this, but planting a seed of doubt into the community makes everyone act fucking stupid about it. Are you hiding?

This asshole, an' because he put a sword to my throat like a shithead an' I didn't want it there. How'm I s'posed to find [him] anything if I'm in hiding?
[short, sharp, but easily given -- this is the information Badou has, and it's as cheap as free (for Hijikata)]

If your life was being threatened you have a right to defend yourself. Who was this man? If he's acting out over the murders it's one thing, but if he's responsible for any of them, then...
[hrmph] If you find out anything, let me know. Got that? Try not to get any more hurt in the process.

I don't snitch. I dunno if he did any.
[it's very rare that Badou will explain his actions towards others; it's even rarer that he'll clarify another person's actions towards him]
If you find stuff out, you'll tell me too, right.
[there's a fragile note of questioning that, at a later date, Badou may remember, and will definitely rue (Dave didn't tell him all the pieces, never, not even when there were monsters at their door)]
[(Badou's still not sure if it would have helped)]
