Look, I dunno! I guess this is how adults deal with stuff like this? [ pinches the bridge of his nose ] Like ... as long as you're okay, it's whatever.
[ She really wishes she could feel anything. A hug would be wonderful but pointless - well, for her, anyway. She fidgets. ]
We'll figure it out somehow. I'm gonna keep ringing all the bells over and over until I get some sort of fuckin' answer from them. [ She gestures at her box of bells that's chilling on the table. ] You don't have to do all this stuff on your own. We'll work together.
And we found that fur, too... did an animal get in here somehow? What kind of animal would leave marks like that? Based on the way she died, it must have been something venomous... that could bite her all over?? And that has fur???
I have no idea how anything could've gotten in, considering we've spent the last week trying to get out. [ A beat. ] Have you heard anything else? Like where people ended up last night?
I asked Lio to look, and he couldn't see it. [ Which is just concerning. ] He seemed to take me seriously enough when I said it was there. Just said he didn't see anything on the stairs.
... we know what's messing with us. [ Master Blue.
a sigh. ] Hopefully we would have noticed if someone else got as sick as that lady did.
... I wonder why she was the one who got attacked. How was she out and walking around before the rest of us in the first place? Did she manage to avoid getting locked in a room?
Phoenix wasn't in his room. He got locked out in the hallway, and he's still alive. I'm thinking she just ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe we would've been fucked if we'd been in our rooms.
[ She doesn't want to think he might have done it, though. He doesn't seem like the type. ] Her name was Haruka. The lady.
Earlier, when we found the fur and the blood... did you, like, feel weird about the fur? Like ... you could tell a lot of stuff about it for some reason?

[ Hm. She sets the bottle down on the pool table and sort of slumps. ] I'm alive. She's not, though. [ Should've done something. Anything. ]
no subject
Yeah. I know. This whole thing sucks. If I just had my powers...! [ fuckin
kicks the pool table ]
A death that traumatic would definitely leave a ghost behind, but I can't do a damn thing about it!

... yeah, I know. We're all gonna have to if we want to figure out what the heck happened back there.
The way she died was so insane... weren't those bite marks all over her? I wasn't imagining that, right??
no subject
It was probably when we were all locked up.
no subject
And we found that fur, too... did an animal get in here somehow? What kind of animal would leave marks like that? Based on the way she died, it must have been something venomous... that could bite her all over?? And that has fur???

no subject
The girls. I bet they could do it.
[ .... sigh. ]
Nah, I haven't spoken to anyone who wasn't in our group last night yet. But I'm gonna ask around and see what I can find out.
no subject
[ As for asking around, she nods. ] We should talk to the other group of people who went to investigate. Probably Michiru too.
You know - nobody but us could see the fur?
no subject
[ he can practically hear asch calling him an idiot from across time and space.
but that last question brings him up short, and he stares at her, one eyebrow sharply raised. ]
Are you serious? How do you know?

There's something really weird going on here, Beau. Blood that only we can see? Fur from some wild animal? A murder?
It all has to be connected. It has to be! But how?
no subject
Something's fucking with us. And I'm just hoping nobody else got infected.

Haruka... thanks. I didn't... [ know. a sigh. ]
Not to change the subject or anything, but can I ask you something, Beau?
no subject
Yeah, of course. Ask whatever you want.

[ her nature skill is like really low there's no way that was real ]

Pretty weird, right?

[ A beat. She has just like, the smallest amount of shame asking: ] You wanna toss me the bottle on the table?
no subject
... that gets a bit of an eyebrow raise, but he doesn't protest. He grabs it and holds it out to her. ]
no subject
[ Don't mind her she's just gonna take another swig of alcohol... sorry Issac. ]
