[he puts his pinky behind his back

how about now]

[dotcom]

You're such a child...

[ he rubs his temple ]

I'll try not to die. It's not something I'm really jumping to do.

[sengokus]

[ :/ him pinky promise

but he supposes he'd rather have the osaka one, because it's contingent on so many other things - like surviving this, and winning, and being able to see each other again.

it's more long term.]

Then I'll believe in that.

[dotcom]

Mm.

Who are you staying with, anyway? White?

[sengokus]

Yeah. Endorsi wanted to tag along this week too. We're probably headed to the library - Vira-san is going to the dog park with Yuel-san. So we're just trying to cover more ground this week.

[he really does logistically know it's important to split up]

[dotcom]

Mm.

[ he knew about vira, but the rest isn't that surprising. ]

Have a fun sleepover with your play dates.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he looks away at that, contemplative.]

.... well, it'll probably be fine.

Ah - but they did tell me that they went to investigate around when we did. They went to the airport terminal, and Endorsi told me that when they looked at the arrivals and departures, the times were scrambled so they couldn't tell anything about it. But all the locations were from Earth.

Not sure what it means.

[dotcom]

Well, if each floor is based on a different Avatar, then I'd assume that this one is from Earth.

[sengokus]

Yeah, but I mean the whole time scramble thing. It seemed a lot more mundane than what we went through last week to be honest...

Or even what we found with the Research Room.

[fucking freaky flubber]

[dotcom]

I kind of think the research room might not go with the Avatar because of what we found on the computer. Like... it's actually part of this place, like the control room.

[ ... ]

Oh. Gluttony said that Mahito misunderstood and that there weren't other races before us? I'm waiting for Despair to text me back so I can actually confirm whether that's true or not.

[sengokus]

[ . . . ? ]

Mahito-san sounded so confident about it though.... He said that he thinks the Avatars are looking for something they haven't found yet but - well, I'll admit that's his conjecture. But it sounded like he'd been talking with a few of them about it...

[weird. he tilts his head. though he also goes back to the earlier point]

But I think so too - about the research room. I think each floor might have one room that doesn't go with the Avatar - I think last week's might've been cargo, so we might need to circle back to it if Vira-san and Grace-san don't beat us to it.

[dotcom]

Gluttony just said he was making assumptions from different conversations, and that I should double check to be sure. So, I don't know. I trust Gluttony about as far as I can throw them, but they sounded pretty sure that if I asked around I'd get different answers than Mahito did.

[ so, he doesn't know but he'll poke around. ]

But alright. I... [ hm. ] Have you looked through the crates at all?

[sengokus]

[hmmmm mineo nods.]

Huh. That's the second time that I've been told to be corrected - Gu-san gave me something that Greed-san didn't think was entirely true. I'll try seeing what else needs to be fact-checked.

[damn people get your lore straight]

I haven't yet, no. Have you?

[dotcom]

Mm. I found the collar.

I couldn't take it out of the room with me that.

[sengokus]

[a beat because what]

The - Hoshino's?

[dotcom]

The very same.

There's a good chance it was just some sort of illusion, but it definitely took me by surprise.

[sengokus]

.... I'll go looking and tell you if I find anything.

[he tilts his head]

Did you get an item for indulging yet? White said he got something just this week, so there's a couple of late ones.

[dotcom]

[ HE JUST

LOOKS ANNOYED ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he looks to the ceiling briefly

and then looks back at takeru]

We'll try again next week.

[his neck...........................]

[dotcom]

[ ...

he's so disgruntled ]

Fine...

[sengokus]

[ . . . he'll just reach out to pat takeru's shoulder once]

Nothing here's easy, right? We'll figure it out so you get what you want.

["fuck those adonis bitches" - mineo enomoto, probably]

[dotcom]

[ he sighs. ]

It must be nice to have no shame like so many others here.

[sengokus]

[ ? ]

What do you mean?

[TAKERU KEEPS DUNKING ON MINEO WHEN HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DONE]

[dotcom]

Hm... no, just think about it.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . ? ]

Are you trying to make fun of me for indulging when all I do is sleep?
