I don't know where Kaeya was last night. But Rupert was with us in the casino.

[ he frowns. the shoulder g r i p is noticed, and maybe pretty deep down appreciated, but it's gay wrath month now so he just feels ticked. ]

Nothing like that to emphasise how useless we all are in the grand scheme.

[skyagain]

... Happens every week. Nothing we can do to wake up to stop it from happening.

[ cloud, who died week one, knows perfectly well, ]

[ashenvaliant]

I know. Selfishly though, it matters more when you care a lot about the people involved. [ blunt… ]

It hadn’t happened here yet. I’m… angry the first time was Rupert, of all people.

[skyagain]

Wouldn't call it selfish to be angrier when it's people you like. That's just how it is.

[ he gets biases? he gets them. ]

... I wish it hadn't been. Kid didn't deserve that.

[ashenvaliant]

[ looks at trial and that’s what makes you hahaha starts blasting from my boombox ]

He especially didn’t, no. But if it was possession then… [ he shrugs. ] Possession doesn’t care.

[skyagain]

...No, it doesn't.

[ what makes you hahaha but it's about clem because he cant see the future :( ]

[ashenvaliant]

... Weirdly, I miss when people were killing just because they wanted to. Made it easier to sympathise, or hate, without everything being so complicated.

[skyagain]

Didn't really have that in the Realm.[ he can say that because all the for fun murderers were on his team. ] But it's always easier when there's a clear "us" against "them".

[ashenvaliant]

... Yes, well. Without one, people will create their own.

[skyagain]

... Yeah. Only thing we can hope for is they don't turn on each other.

[ yea ]

[ashenvaliant]

…

I hope so. It’s complicated, when pockets and groups form, although I can’t really say much given there’s quite a few people from my own scenario here.

[ and then the chasmas and rings went to war in trial so that was fun. ]

[skyagain]

... Pockets and groups have already probably formed, we just haven't seen it be as big of a problem yet.

[ YET [the nextday] ]

[ashenvaliant]

I wonder if we need to spread information around more, if we have it. We did that a lot back on the station, gathering to discuss information we had and what it could mean.

[ haha... ]

[skyagain]

I've been trying to share, but... I don't know how much of what we're getting is that useful.

[ashenvaliant]

I'm afraid I don't have a lot to be sharing. Other than I broke into one of the staff's rooms last week, but that seems to have been a not-so isolated incident.

[skyagain]

You too? [ hm ] Pretty sure all eight keys have been distributed, it's just a matter of... which sixteen of us went, I guess. Most people dragged someone else with them anyway.

[ashenvaliant]

I was the one dragged, technically. Sebastian grabbed me, he had the key. I’ve heard about the room Lup investigated, but other than that…

[ he tilts his head. ]

Did you explore one as well? I feel like this is something we need to discuss, but at the same time do we want to be publicly admitting to breaking and entering their personal spaces?

[skyagain]

I was dragged with Estelle. [ rooms! wowie. ] I think so long as we keep the ... personal stuff we found in those quiet, there's no harm discussing that it happened. If sixteen people went, that's most of the hotel aware it happened already.

[ashenvaliant]

Seems fair. I’m fine saying I’m pretty sure we found Vulpecula’s room, but…

[ he trails off. ]

That’s about all I want to say, information about what we found aside.

[skyagain]

... I went in Gemini's. I think that's all we need to share, specifics-wise.

[ he shakes his head ]

Not everything in there fits, right?

[ashenvaliant]

... Right. There was a lot of very obvious stuff. Pink, posters, a computer and some files on it, but then some things didn't add up. Different styles of clothing, different eras of make-up.

[ ... ]

Given how elusive they're being, I wonder if they're hiding who they are on multiple levels.

[skyagain]

... They definitely are. And I think it's part of their contracts with the big man. But the question is... to what end? And why show us proof?

[ashenvaliant]

[ he closes his eyes and rubs a hand under his eyes. ]

Do we know how people got the keys in the first place?

[skyagain]

[ yuri this is such a fuckin mood ]

From what I can tell, those keys were in housekeeping when that was first unlocked, but they vanished before they could touch them. Then they just showed up in people's rooms at random on two different Sundays, but they were unlabeled until after the second one.

[ashenvaliant]

[ yells directly into the mods houses ]

So, we don't know where they appeared from, just that they were in Housekeeping -- I remember Claude mentioning it too, and then they vanished. They reappeared mysteriously, and we don't know why, but we've been able to access the staff's rooms with them.

...

You don't think the staff are the ones who distributed them, do you?
