[Well Yasusada's adventure was absolutely useless and he had to go be sad for a while, but eventually he'll make his way back to the cabin. He doesn't look cheerful anymore; he sits quietly on his bed, sword at his side.]

Are the rest of you alright?

[givethemhell]

[no he's rattled because his spring break fling is haunting them over the megaphone and his partner in roller rink crimes is fuckin deda BUT IT'S FINE.

He'll also plop himself down next to Yasusada on his bed because ???? all beds are everyone's beds, sure.]

In one piece and more disappointed than I'd expected, honestly. You?

[shortfornow]

[ Hmm. ]

Someone said they heard their ex on the loud speaker. Was he yours, too? Or did you recognize another voice?

[givethemhell]

[THEY'RE EXES NOW THAT HE'S GOT TO SUFFER THROUGH 15 YEAR OLD CHUUYA and knows he's in a monogamy apparently, but weren't at the time. Wow, messy. He just laughs a little...]

Yes, Taako and I both recognized the same voice. The first one. Some sort of trick, I'd be willing to bet.

[shortfornow]

[ He's in a relationship with the guy future him said Wei Wuxian is similar to. How weird is that? ]

Most likely. We had announcements, but they were usually at the start of the week and in unfamiliar voices. They usually gave a hint for what we would suffer that week until someone killed.

[givethemhell]

[THE LOGISTICS ARE TERRIBLE LET US NEVER GO THERE.]

Hah, what a tedious display. Were the voices unfamiliar each time?

[shortfornow]

Every time, and they were like short ghost stories or threats. We had one talking about how a woman didn't have any sleep, so we were cursed without sleep until someone died.

[ It was a headache ]

[okitactless]

["More disappointed than I'd expected" he says, and... yeah, maybe that's it. He nods.]

I think... I'm the same. [He's not very good at putting a name to everything he feels, honestly.

In general, then--]

There's nothing in the fog. Shinobu-kun and I checked, but we ended up back here.

[givethemhell]

[Yasusada gets a sympathetic look, and he reaches out to pat his fluffy head.]

He was one of your comrades, yes? [Wow swords and their collective terrible luck with murdergames...] ...We'll find out what happened to him, of course. And fetch him back from wherever he ends up.

[Over his fuckin deadass body and soul will they have to leave more people behind here.]

—In a loop, you mean? Walked out there and ended up where you started?

[okitactless]

[Oh, headpats... Yasusada smiles a little, but his heart's not really in it.

He thinks about Kanesada, about restating his faith in the saniwa, that even if they don't succeed here, his master will be able to remake them from nothing. But he doesn't really feel like doing that either. It rings hollow, somehow, even in his own head.

So he just focuses on answering the question.]

No, not quite. We walked into the fog, but it was too thick to see anything. We were lost for a little while, but when we found our way back, we were on the opposite side of the camp.

[IT'S A SIDE-SCROLLING WRAPAROUND ADVENTURE.]

[givethemhell]

[He'll give Yasusada headpats when things aren't so depresso, and pulls his hand back for now.]

Mm... Something like that, then. If we're right in our assumptions, the fog will recede as time goes on and we'll be able to see more of what's out there. That area is "off limits" for now, so I doubt our killer could access it.

[okitactless]

I suppose.

[He's not entirely convinced, because he came from a castle with magical doors and such, but it doesn't really matter right now. He didn't find anything, so it's best to move on.]

Lili-kun said that there footprints leading away from the Mess Hall. That's where Tsurumaru-san went last night, before the doors locked.

[shortfornow]

I'm in one piece, and I didn't know the victim.

[ He's plopping down on the edge of his own bed. ]

Ah, but I did recognize a couple of those voices.

[okitactless]

He's a tsukumogami, like me. I know him from home.

[They're not particularly close, but. Y'know.]

Who did you recognize?

[shortfornow]

[ Ah. He has no idea what to say to that so instead, he'll focus on the second part ]

Chuuya and the detective. The Chuuya on the announcement sounded a little older though.

[okitactless]

[He makes a face of INTENSE DISGUST at the mention of "the detective"

But moving on.]

I wonder why only some people could hear them clearly...

[shortfornow]

[ ... ]

Did you know another Akechi?

[okitactless]

Yes, at the castle. [...] The other Dazai-kun beat him up after he died. I helped.

[He does not sound at all bothered about this]

[shortforever]

[HE'S MAD. And mostly just hanging out in there and stewing in his own anger but he's so mad.]

Why is he even here?! Weird world-travel I can take, but there shouldn't be two of one person in the same place!

[Sorry, he's still stuck on this.]

[givethemhell]

[Fair mood honestly he'd probably be flippin a shit if he heard himself via speaker too.]

I doubt there is! It's probably some sort of vocal manipulation or trick.

[shortforever]

[The game cannot handle that much booty in one place.]

It better be! I don't want to see that guy here.

[Maybe if he acts angry and lashes out he can cover up his real thoughts on everything.]

[givethemhell]

[STOP NO BOOTY HERE. He gives Chuuya a look a that, though, like he's mildly amused - but it's only the barest ghost of amusement, since he's too fuckin IRRITATED about their SITUATION to manage much else.]

What, don't think it'd be interesting to meet your future self?

[shortforever]

'Interesting' is being charitable. He's either going to be cooler than me and make me look like an idiot, or he's going to be a loser and make me look like an idiot for growing up to be him. Why would I want to see any of that?

[He's deflecting right now.]

[okitactless]

Why would it make you look like an idiot to learn you're going to be cool?

[givethemhell]

[HE CAN TELL but he'll play along anyway because who wants to think of the tough things?? Not him!]

Who knows! Maybe you'd get along with him just fine, regardless of how he's turned out.
