[A bit later.]

Don't talk about the creature.

[headmt]

[w]

why
you allright ? ?

[bonetiddies]

🚪

[headmt]

[immediately just heading for her room? knocking? hello?]

[bonetiddies]

[Letting him in, and just immediately.]

Let's go over some of the basic rules of spelling. These things can be inconsistent, but it will help you to learn once you've picked them up. For example, heard when you mean ears is spelled with an 'ea'. Also -

[She's just going to go on like this for a solid few minutes about spelling and punctuation rules.]

Anyway, be careful who you talk to about it. Someone I just asked - [She'll glance at the ceiling] - panicked a little; it may be dangerous. Apparently, we should consider whether we may be overheard.

[headmt]

[oh my god he literally wants to DIE until the very moment when he figures out what she's doing, and he perks up a bit.]

Yes yes, fine, you say that but the I before E thing so rarely makes any sense when you could use just one or the other because who exactly panicked and for what reason? Overheard by prying ears or creature ears? And I'll never learn the difference between who and whom, I refuse to do it. Fuck that.

[bonetiddies]

That's fine, I doubt Gu Yun knows, either. Prying. [Ceiling glance again.]

Just be careful.

[headmt]

I'll be very cautious when using commas and semi-colons.

[bonetiddies]

Besides this, the security office had a list of names - all but those four were blacked out, but Sasazuka recognized one of them, and Yuri another.

[headmt]

Surely it's just fucking with us then, correct? The list of places in the ... air place had several recognizable ones.

This place clearly knows the names that we know. It showed me visions of friends of mine from back home as well, during the kidnapping. Beauregard. Yasha.

[bonetiddies]

[Squinting.]

Well, perhaps. Perhaps not. That's what we're trying to decide. It was thirty two - I think enough for it to be one person from each of our worlds. Considering overlap.

[headmt]

Overlap? Oh-- You mean like Shi Qingxuan and Ming Yi?

[bonetiddies]

Correct. Pairs from the same worlds. Thirty two in total I think, counting the extra red haired man.

[headmt]

So, Qingxuan and Ming Yi, Gojou and Mahito, Takeru and Mineo, then. Oh-- Medb and Douman I believe are also familiar with one another.

[well he's not very good at math either so his tail just swishes while he's like well okay if harrow says it that seems right then]

[bonetiddies]

[Squinting! What the fuck.]

Whereas you and I both came here alone?

[headmt]

[squinting right back because harrow doesn't usually ask such obvious questions?]

Unless there's something you aren't telling me ... ?

[bonetiddies]

[Yikes! Haha! What the fuck! Harrow's expression is just blank though she doesn't give off a vibe like she's panicking or anything. She just. Is.]

No, it's all right. I invoke the rock, I think. I'm not certain exactly what it is, so I'm going to ask you a few questions.

[headmt]

[well he looks like he was sort of the verge of maybe panicking a little but he respects the sanctity of the Pass Phrase and just. Forces whatever it was back down. Running a hand down his face, then just nodding.]

[bonetiddies]

. . . Earlier you mentioned illusions of Beauregard and Yasha, didn't you? When did those happen?

[headmt]

In that hotel. Yasha was possessed or something. Showed her killing Beauregard.

[bonetiddies]

Did either of them say anything to you?

[headmt]

[His brow knits and he just shakes his head.]

Not-- exactly no. Spit up blood on me while she was dying. [...] Is this important?

[bonetiddies]

Unfortunately, I need to ask a few more invasive things. Try not to think about it, just answer.

[Awkwardly reaching to pat his hand. Change of subject.]

What are the names of your friends? The, er, the Nein ones. Tell me what they're like.

[headmt]

Alright.

[Trying not to think about it too hard then!]

Nott, ah, short and green, got her Vlad's gold watch. Likes shiny stuff like that, though if I could get my hands on one of Zixi's fancy crossbows, she'd probably like that even more. Caleb, Frumpkin's owner, wizard type, told you about him before. Giving him your recipe for the Bone ... stuff. Don't know if he'll use it, but might get a kick out of it. Fjord. Big and green. Sailor-type. Haven't found a good gift for him yet. Got to have that nautical theme so everyone will think it's a bit funny, right? Fuck.

Um.

Jester. Like me, but blue. Giving her that game machine once I've used it. Think she'll get a kick out of it. Did I tell you-- Did I tell you I think I saw one of her memories? I don't know that it's important just ... Anyway. Beauregard. Haven't got a gift for her either yet. Bit of a [waves hand.] trash person, but you'd probably like her. Your type. Punches things and drinks things. Was going to grab some of that tequila stuff. Think she'd get a kick out of it, and it might make her puke her guts out which would be a little bit funny.

Yasha. Flowers. I've told you about Yasha.

[bonetiddies]

Shouldn't there be nine.

[But there's no one obviously missing from the list, of people she's heard him mention. Anyway, okay. The only obvious flaw here remains the obvious flaw, but she'd like to test some of the boundaries of it before she decides what to do.]

What's your wish?
