[ ... 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!!]

[skyagain]

[ it's fine yamato was mean to kaoruko instead of rupert. ]

That's good. But I wonder why the lack of secrets? You'd think people feeling betrayed would be more entertaining than knowing it wasn't the killer's fault.

[agleam]

...I'm guessing from their perspective, it's just as fun to watch people get pushed into voting to execute their friends, despite the fact that they haven't done anything wrong.

[angy]

[skyagain]

... Like a twisted experiment to see if we would in the first place.

[ also angy ]

[agleam]

[upgrade: now angry and frowning]

Do you think that's what happening here?

[skyagain]

... Maybe. Seems like the kind of sick form of entertainment you'd expect.

[ but he has an anti-scientist bias ]

[agleam]

Probably as good a guess as any, yeah.

[skyagain]

Really wish they weren't guesses. Think we can dress up as staff and sneak into their stuff?

[agleam]

I mean, if you want to give it a shot, you know I'd come with you. It... Well, no, it probably can and will hurt, but if it works it would be worth it.

[skyagain]

If they weren't what they are, it might be worth a shot, but... What we'd need is a way to get their uniforms and their keys. Doubtful it could happen.

[agleam]

The uniforms are easy enough, I already have one of those. But... Yeah, the keys are going to be the harder part. You can persuade them to make deals if you justify it, but I doubt the keys are going to be included in that.

[skyagain]

[ a long pause ]

... Right, why do you have that uniform anyway? Was a task for you to do their job for them?
