[preowned]

[ he is coming to check up on him.... hello. ]

Again...

[skyagain]

Again...

[ he has at least changed from bloody clothes to some kind of loose outfit that covers everything? yay? except the neck bite. that's just. healed over but visible. he leans his head against the wall a little tiredly ]

S'alright. Got all my limbs. [ this is apparently the line we are drawing ]

[preowned]

At least there's that...

How's the healing?

[skyagain]

Mmm... S'alright. Just. Shouldn't move too much.

[ he sounds a little put-off about it. how dare this inconvenience him!!! ]

[preowned]

You are staying with your friends tonight, right?

[skyagain]

Mm. Some...where. [ he genuinely looks like he has no idea where, because i, zia, never know where he'll end up. it's a fun surprise every week. ] Maybe I won't even die this time.

[ it's a HORRIBLE joke he says tiredly, and he blinks afterwards like that slipped out. oops. sometimes you go on a cyoa then die and now you go oh is this a thing? is this? ]

[preowned]

Ha ha ha.

You definitely won't.

[skyagain]

... Right.

[ a little sheepishly. sorry!! ]

[preowned]

... we will make it through to the morning.

[skyagain]

... [ not all of them! he doesn't say that, just nods a little ]

Right. [ he-- almost tilts his head but then his neck twinges and he stops ] Got a video.

[preowned]

Really? Sylvain's group did as well...

His was of the staff discussing a cannibal that broke out of a closet and is probably terrorizing our dead.

[skyagain]

... Ours is... a lot different.

[ he looks SO baffled at that description. im losing it. ]

Can show you?

[preowned]

[ like. there was other stuff in it. but that is more or less the summary.

but he nods. ]

[skyagain]

[ they go to the security room and play the tape! probably cloud ends up leaning on tsuru on the way. it's fine.

anyway tape ]

[preowned]

Ah.

[ a pause. ]

I think this confirms our theory. [ ... ] In the other video, Gemini changes their height.

[skyagain]

[ he says that and cloud makes a little noise of-- tired concern ]

... Mm. S'magic. [ frowns like he isn't sure he should even say that much but he's fucking tired. ] Nightman doesn't know about 'em, sounds like.

[preowned]

[ cloud it is fine to say it because he literally saw it with his own eyeballs ]

No. We shouldn't accuse them of anything. I was told that the Nightman is typically watching us, but not always... there's no way for us to know when 'not always' is though.

[skyagain]

[ is it fine to admit he knew, tsurumaru. is it. ]

Makes me feel better about all the double talk I did. [ deadpan. but he nods minutely ] ... Least we know we were right.

[ EAT SHIT DIMITRI ]

[preowned]

... in the other type, Virgo specifically said that the person in the closet was their responsibility. It seems like the dead knocked them out, stole a key, and unlocked the door which... let the apparently cannibal out.

But... you know, the other staff members would always mention that Virgo would eat you if you misbehave.

[ tsuru thought they were just joking but like

now he's :thonk: ]

[skyagain]

...

Did they... lock all of those ones... in closets?

[ or just

the cannibal ]

[preowned]

... maybe we should write to the dead and ask if there are any other closets where they are...?

[skyagain]

... Yeah.

[ cloud got mail today and i have no idea when he'd have had time to read it but: ]

Clem didn't know. For another round.

[ so there aren't secretly extra dead people around ]

[preowned]

[ he nods. ]

Clementine tried to send me my ticket back, and I sent it back, and she said thanks since they actually needed it but she felt bad.

[skyagain]

Yeah. Bucky said... tickets and ... [ he blinks ] First aid... alcohol that isn't wine?

[ their grocery list. ]

[preowned]

I guess we can buy a kit and send it over?
