[ WELL MAYBE THIS WILL BE BETTER THAN THEIR FIRST MEETING

but there is one tsun who is sitting in the common room, with a laptop in front of him. he does not look happy. ]

[bonetiddies]

[She's also in the common room. She sees that rude bastard who tried to feed her an cupcake. But she is curious about his laptop, at least.]

Is that your item?

[dotcom]

[ the weird skull girl....

he doesn't look up, but he'll nod. ]

It is.

[bonetiddies]

Are you actually able to do anything with it, or are you just trying to look busy?

[dotcom]

I'm trying to figure out what these people did to it.

[bonetiddies]

They damaged your item?

[Hmm. Bad.]

If any harm was done to the wards on my sword. . .

[dotcom]

[ he actually glances at her. ]

Wards?

[bonetiddies]

Yes, the wards. My sword is well protected from harm and decay - or it should be. And I can't check them now.

[dotcom]

[ cool, more weird power shit? life is easier when you're a normie. ]

The... nerf, or whatever it is, is stopping you?

[bonetiddies]

Correct. I've been cut off from any source of thanergy, so I can't see whether my wards are still intact.

[dotcom]

[ THANERGY ]

Is being cut off from it something that's possible, normally?

[bonetiddies]

Yes, but not to this degree. For example, during space travel, there's no thanergy to draw on, but typically I'd still be able to do some minor necromancy with these.

[Gesturing to her bone accessories.]

Here, I can't even muster that much.

[dotcom]

[ these sure are words that she is saying, but he will ignore how ridiculous it is to think it over. ]

So, something that they have here is powerful enough to severe it more entirely.

[bonetiddies]

Which is a considerable amount of power indeed.

[dotcom]

Especially since it's not only you, but others as well...

Well, that's good to know, at least.

[bonetiddies]

It is.

[Sigh. He's grouchy, but clearly smart and trying to solve things. Maybe it was a mistake to think he's just a mad cupcake poisoner? He almost reminds her of someone, but she can't quite place it.]

Have you learned anything about what occurred in the elevator?

[dotcom]

[ it's okay, he may be smart, but he's still a rude bitch ]

No. No one seems to know, or if someone does they're not saying anything.

[bonetiddies]

I haven't noticed anyone missing. Someone else, then? The authors of that letter?

[dotcom]

Like they tried to show themselves and instead got stuck?

[ that's hilarious he hopes that's what happened ]

[bonetiddies]

[It would be really funny if true.]

Yes. Or tried to travel to a different floor and bit off more than they could chew.

[dotcom]

[ he glances up at the ceiling. ]

I wonder what floor we're on?

[bonetiddies]

It sounded as though the screams came from above us, though I couldn't say for certain.

[dotcom]

I guess the real question is why exactly were they screaming, too...

[ was it just from getting caught in the elevator? or something else? ]

[bonetiddies]

I wonder if there's more here than us and the hosts. If there isn't something else we have to be afraid of.

The last time I was in a place like this, there was a Revenant hunting us.

[dotcom]

[ that's a valid thought, but ]

Revanant?
