Well, I suppose that begs the question... do these things only happen to you in the house? Or have you experienced bad luck elsewhere too?

It seems most concentrated in the house.
However, I have experienced, on occasion, poor luck in town.

I might need some examples to further assist you.

Do you think I'm stupid?
You don't need to know specifics.

I can ask your adoring fans instead, if you prefer that.

I'll call your bluff.
The second you step outside your fans will swarm you. You'll be overwhelmed before you get to mine.

Is that some kind of backhanded compliment...?

When have I ever given compliments in such a way? That's not how I operate.
I'm only stating an obvious flaw in your plan.

I'm not so sure. I've gotten quite adept at placating my fans so they'll let me go about my business.
Besides that, though... there's a significant overlap between our groups of fans.

I can't deny that. It baffles me, frankly. Given how different we are, and the people we attract due to that, they should be far more divided.

I don't know. From the literature I've seen around the convention, they seem to enjoy the concept of opposites attracting...

To be clear, there's not literature like that about us! Not that I've seen, anyway. I'd hope not.

I would put nothing past these creatures. If one is shown to you, don't pay it any attention. They thrive on your praise. If you don't give it, they'll likely stop.
Or so I hope.

I don't give them praise for any of the things they draw! Some of what I've seen...
Well, it's better if we don't talk about it.

Big

And oh, it lands in such a way that it starts a video call. Incredible. Wonderful.

Fuck the glass, fuck the video call - he hangs up and texts. ]
I'm cleaning this up and going to bed.
I'll let you know when I get to the bottom of this.

Maruki's too stunned by the sudden video call for Akechi to hear him laugh before it ends–
But he'll hear it burst from upstairs a few moments later.

No, I'll come help you. See you in a minute.

Whatever

The laughter? Rolls off him because he's a calm man who doesn't let minor agitations to get him. Ever.
He might be thinking about it the entire time they clean up, but hey. Thoughts aren't actions.
Except for when he 'accidentally' flicks a tiny glass shard to Maruki. Ah well. That's how these things go. ]
