I wasn't totally sure, but... I think so, now. I think every single one of these stupid scraps we've found are real. And I think they're not as simple as they seem.
... I don't think so. The other person on the paper was arguing it's "not a real word". I don't think anything we can think of will fit. It's less about what's on them and more... who's actually responsible for these.
You see the notes Shinobu and the others got last week?
Futaba has a third, but Tsurumaru's getting that one for me. [ i made francia do this. ] At first I thought... it might only be "Aquarius". [ with. finger quotes. ] Their journal, their little notes. But they're not exactly the religious type, and there's that one about praying.
If I think the journal doesn't fit who it has to fit by virtue of process of elimination, then... Who actually wrote that one? I thought maybe there was an extra. Sitting back, watching. But if it's all of them...
[ he crosses his arms ]
The staff... it's like they're all playing a role. And I couldn't figure out why, outside of messing with them. Adding difficulty to their job. But what if they're just the understudies? And they're filling in?
[ this actor metaphor is going to be SO FUNNY when harrow is like: what the fuck is an understudy ]
The diary does say 'fifth verse,' though...I'm not certain that means five rounds. Rin seemed to think it did. But it is written from a newcomer's perspective.
Mmm. That was my reading as well - something similar before, but not this specifically. But it is a theory those from the religious one are throwing around.
I don't think it's happened this many times, the way it did in the Realm. That doesn't track. [ he thinks so, anyway? ] But-- that staff was there. Their round was starting. Unless they got a cast change last minute...

Perhaps we must try to solve the hangman.

[but she squints.]
What is an understudy...?
no subject
[ dubiously muttered, anyway; ]
It's... someone who steps in to take over for an actor when they're unable to play the part.

So then the originals might be incapacitated somehow? [...] Unless they are simply busy elsewhere.

... I don't think it means verse here, necessarily. Tsurumaru's on his third round, technically speaking.

[bad.]
You don't think it's possible...the diary mentions infiltration.

It's possible I'm mistaken, but that's what I'm trying to get at.
