I have heard a little about the places that some of the others have come from... for the most part, there does seem to be a sort of pattern that our time at the camp followed. Although...
[she glances briefly at dimitri and shinobu.]
...this time there are others who have been through experiences that only lasted two weeks, as our time at the island did.
[ she nods. she hasn't gotten the shiptrap length from jason yet, but it's fine 2 weeks or six to eight.... all lengths still terrible. ]
Everyone's situations seemed to similar to either the island or the camp except.... I'm a bit surprised that there's some who weren't expecting the knives to be taken.
[ i'm making this after knife announcement now ]
Or that the knives could be taken at all. That's something new.
[ weren't the knives in crau taken in like an hour. ]
Is it like the camp again, where everyone is to some degree familiar with these wretched games? [ that's the impression he's gotten so far. ] They should've expected the knives to go first.
[ can't just assume they're magically stapled to the kitchen without checking. ]
[yea they were gone super fast and honestly that is part of why flayn is surprised it took a whole day for them all to vanish.]
I have not yet spoken with anyone who has never been in such a situation before. So - yes, I believe this to be akin to the camp... [her brow furrows.] Most I have spoken to seemed surprised to hear about the camp, and one person even told me that it was suspicious that I have been to three of these things. So, if the rest of you have not divulged that yet, perhaps it would be safer for you not to...?
I'm sure we've all reason to suspect each other, but no one would freely divulge the worst of their histories.
[ he doubts people are going to admit they murdered in their last games, or anything like that.
anyway, he's not surprised, on account of opening his jacket to show the shiny handle of a kitchen knife, too. way too dryly for a teen with a knife in his coat pocket, ]
Better to know where they ended up than not, I suppose.
[flayn does not seem at all bothered by dimitri and shinobu having knives. rather, she seems almost relieved? at least that's two knives she doesn't have to worry about.
her brow furrows a little in concern at tsurumaru, though.]
A thing against swords...?
[jason do NOT try to merc tsurumaru for tutorial!! do not do it!!]
[ at least that's 2 out of who knows how many knives for camp not again... 2. she frowns to hear that jason doesn't like swords, too. shinobu prioritizes human life over most, but her tsuru bias is terrible. ]
I'll admit if Tonbokiri were here, I would not let his self-esteem live, but it's not as if I am against all swords.
[honestly, both dimitri and shinobu have valid reasons to be mad at tonbo, so flayn is not even going to try to defend him. that's part of the consequences of being maf.]
Are you? But I do not find you to be annoying at all...
[hmm.]
The Jason that we knew at the camp was a good person. Even if this one has gone through different experiences that have changed him, I am sure that at his heart, he is a good person as well.

Well, no one's died.
[ so that's something. ]
no subject
Yet. It's definitely going to happen, right?
no subject
[she would love to believe that there will not be any murder at all.
but.]
no subject
[ she is not the optimistic sort. ]
no subject
he doesn't disagree, looking aggravated. ]
So what do we intend to do about it?
[ can they even make plans? ]
no subject
[ how shitty were their games ]

[ imagine a flame thrower with starlight hotel on it. aesthetique. ]
Who said it was suspicious? I've mentioned it to a few, and they seemed more sympathetic than anything.
no subject
If experience is a reason to target someone, then everyone here should feel unsafe.
[ it's a silly thing to be suspicious about, considering it looks like they've all been through one of these games already. ]
no subject
[ they all felt he needed it more... funny. ]
If it says anything about us, it's that our luck is worse than the others.
no subject
[her brow furrows]
He had come from a different sort of experience. It is natural for him to be on his guard, just as it is natural for any of us to be, I think.
no subject
It may be that he is alone in his unique experience here, so that gives him more reason to be on guard.
[ speaking of on guard, though, she takes out a kitchen knife from her suit jacket. ]
Because of our luck, I had to check.
no subject

[ apparently things happened!!! it's fine. tsuru just accepted it. ]
At the very least, if anyone is actually dangerous, I'm sure someone would say so.

Your comrade, Mikazuki—the two of you seem even-keeled. Hopefully he will see you mean no harm.
[ yams was definitely a threat, but dimitri didn't really mind him, either. he just makes a face at tonbo's name, though. ]
no subject
Hm... he is more likely to get a more positive opinion on Mikazuki. I am afraid that I am what they call... annoying.
[ please don't admit to it ]
But if Jason is anything like Dick and the others, it should probably be fine. I think. Probably.
no subject

[hmm.]

no subject
shinobu does think swords can mean harm because they're swords. she also thinks about something mikazuki has said to her. ]
You two can be annoying in your own way.
[ can you believe shinobu stans mikatsuru and she she says this? ]
I will keep an open mind. I don't think this Jason has a bad heart either.
no subject
On that note, Tsurumaru, did you tell someone that you wanted to see someone trip and fall on their face?
no subject
Yes, but the context for the story made it okay!
[ he would say this even if it didn't. ]
no subject
[tsuru :c ]
