We weren't around for that Fridays.

[ rip to mikazuki's roast but the furries were different. they got roasted in private, as fox deserved. ]

... So maybe if we're lucky, we'll have something to start us off tomorrow. A few people getting hints.

[LEAVE FOX ALONE]

We shall see which way the pendulum of fortune shall sway. [where are their HINTS]

Though I do expect to see the staff tomorrow, at the very least.

[ pspspspsps hints ]

Some of them, maybe. Doubt we'll get all eight at once.

Were you able to retrieve any striking information from them?

No. From what I can tell, they can't say much. Somehow, I get the feeling they're not staff here normally, though.

They tell you anything?

Only that the person who would best be able to answer our questions is the owner of this location, but they are not able to be reached through the typewriter - and therefore, not at all for the moment.

So whoever made us sign those "contracts", probably. Doubt we'll see them anytime soon, either.

Indeed. And so the staff are unable to answer our questions on the matter of the contracts, because they are not the ones who offered them to us. Similarly, they cannot enlighten us on the definition of "entertainment" or the fine details of our agreement.

Which is hazy in all of our own memories. Ha ha ha.

[stop laughing]

... It's hard to tell how much of it is that they can't say, and how much of it is that they don't know. They seem pretty intent on answering in the vaguest fashion possible.

[ jiji please stop laughing cloud just looks more tired ]

They do, they do.

At the very least, I do not particularly see a reason to distrust them for the time being. After all, were we not in their shoes just some time ago?

They likely have their reasons, whatever they may be, for their vagueness and distance.

Yeah. I'm not distrusting them just yet. But that doesn't mean I'll trust them, either.

Neutrality...

[he hums thoughtfully]

... I find myself often wondering what I would do, had we access to all of our previous abilities.

... Pretty sure our hands would be just as tied as before if we had those abilities still. Kind of the trade-off.

[ he looks at his own hand ]

Knowledge for the ability to do anything about it.

[ . . . ]

I suppose it brings me to ask again - is it worth it, for us to finally be able to impose our will upon these matters?

Even knowing we too may stumble and make mistakes.

... I don't know about you, but I think I made plenty of mistakes back there already. At least this time, if we mess up, we're not dragging an entire group with us.
