w2, friday.

[here they are in the void! specifically a place in the void that is somewhere between the cemetery and the rooms, as he makes his way back towards that area. he's covered in dirt and he looks a little bit dead inside but it's fine. people keep picking the mean option so here we are.

as soon as he sees cloud it's clear enough from his expression that he was hoping to make it to his room before anyone could witness this, so he just kind of pauses, awkwardly.]

...Hey.

[skyagain]

[ ???????? ]

Rupert? The hell happened to you?

[ henwo? he could put it together better if someone wasn't dead when people mentioned the grave stuff the first time ]

[agleam]

Uh. I woke up in the cemetery. Or, like, below the cemetery, if we're being more specific.

[there are so many ways he could explain this]

[skyagain]

... The buried in a coffin thing? [ hm. bad. ] Where did you start the night?

[agleam]

The library.

[...]

Yuri told me already who's gone, and - Alphinaud was there with us, last night.

[skyagain]

... So it's not like last week. [ no one who was in the room with cloud got buried! ] We got the dream in the simulation room.

[agleam]

[he blinks.]

What was the dream?

[skyagain]

Murdered while getting a haircut. Hairdresser also sold meat pies?

[ yeah ]

[agleam]

...So, even weirder than the mountain one, that's cool.

[it is not cool.]

[skyagain]

I don't know what it was like last week. [ they sort of discussed it after he came back but like. most of that trial! gone to his brain. he was so fucked up. ] But most of these are pretty metaphorical anyway. Could be the important part was the scissors and that's it.

[agleam]

...I guess we'll see after someone looks at his body tomorrow.

[skyagain]

[ ... he sighs ]

I don't like that getting buried keeps happening. Clementine wasn't responsible for it last week, so what's doing it?

[agleam]

Yeah, I can't say I'm a huge fan of it, myself.

[it's a little dry, but he does look thoughtful for a moment.]

Back in the school, there'd be the choice of three people to target, and the two who weren't chosen would wake up in a random location outside. I wonder if it's something like that.

[skyagain]

If that's the case, whoever's choosing isn't the murderer.

[ don't imply clem was mean :/ ]

[agleam]

No, I don't think so, either. I don't think they're in control of a lot when it happens.

[shadow monsters are rude]

[skyagain]

Not that them being in control would make this shit that much easier, but...

[ it still. sucks. ]

[agleam]

...I get it. It just makes it hard in a different way.

[skyagain]

It started after the cemetery opened, but... no one else was moved, either.

[agleam]

Yeah. I don't really know what it might mean... It might be one of those things we have to wait to learn about.

[skyagain]

Getting real tired of having to wait for it.

[agleam]

Just about five more weeks after this one, right?

[he sighs, though.]

I'm getting pretty impatient, too.

[skyagain]

... Doesn't help that we haven't exactly found out anything useful yet.

[ >:T ]

[agleam]

We found out the shadow thing pretty early... I mean, that doesn't tell us what to do about it, but back at the school, we couldn't tell anyone why we were doing what we were doing until the very end.

[skyagain]

That probably didn't go over well.

[ he's thinking of how. it did not. for the people in the realm ]

[agleam]

Not really, but... Most people were kind to me, even when I couldn't tell them much.

[except alphinaud but he's absolutely not going to say that now!!]
