[ yeah he just poured hot coffee into a box like fuck you guys

no, he's just chilling, greeting them with a nod. ]

Well, frankly, they could be better.

[ memshare memshare ]

I do not know if the stardust will affect us here, but in the interest of sparing you my memories, I will get to the point—may I ask if you recognize this?

[ pulls out my NEMESIS, a sheet of HANGMAN PAPER ]

[it's what they deserve.]

Unsurprising. [memshare memshare. anyway, so.]

Your memories can't be any worse than my own, man. But sure. What point?

[oh there is a paper. there is a paper, and they're staring at it.]

...huh. Can't say I really do. Is this something you guys found out there? I've been hearing people talk.

[ he gives them a concerned look, hoping that their memories aren't any worse, actually. ]

...Yes, we found it on one of our little Thursday excursions. It seemed out of place, given that it has the hotel logo and all.

[ in the middle of the otherworldly hellscape they went to ]

[they will ignore that look and instead they just kind of eyeball the paper.]

You're right, that seems extremely out of place. Have you gotten any ideas from it yet? Who've you asked so far?

[ time is a construct in this thread ]

Emet-Selch asked Gemini, at least. I have spoken to Virgo, Aquila, Orion, Vulpecula, Lepus, and yourself. I should reach out to Cetus, but... considering that none of you seem to know, I do not think it's likely to lead to any new leads.

[ what if this NONSENSE HANGMAN WORD is PLOT IMPORTANT, dimitri asks himself ]

Honestly, rather than the contents, I was most curious in who wrote it. I wonder if we might be... acquainted, somehow.

Ah, I see. You could ask. I doubt that Cetus would mind entertaining the thought and answering any questions you may have. I don't think it's so wrong to seek out answers either way.

[a tilt of their head.]

What makes you say that though?

[ cetus: actually i wrote both sides of the conversation on this paper because i was bored and lonely during orientation

he nods and resolves to do this when it isn't a thursday. if he survives. ]

Well, for one set of handwriting... I swear I have seen it someplace before, though I cannot put my finger on where.

[be nice to cetus.]

...yeah? [that's curious.] Maybe it just looks similar to something else you've seen before? Might not even be the same thing.

[ OR MAYBE AQUARIUS IS JUNPEI!!!!!!!!!!! but you're just going to thonk at me. what is the POINT ]

I cannot deny the possibility. But nothing of that sort comes to mind.

[hm...]

...let me ask you something. When you first saw this paper, what did you think? Was it obvious when you looked at it that it seemed familiar, or was it like...you had to look again to figure out that much?

[ hmmmmmm ]

It took a second glance, I suppose...? Why?

[...they shrug.]

Just wondering.

[but they hand the paper back for dimitri to do whatever he wants.]

I don't know. Maybe it'll come to you later, or maybe it really is just something you convinced yourself of.

Maybe so. It is a thin lead to work from.

[ stop gaslighting him. he rubs his face briefly, tired. ]

[someone please help dimitri. it probably won't be me, but someone please.]

Then maybe you'll get another lead later. Don't stress too hard about it.

[ why do you hurt me like this ]

It's difficult not to. Time is of the essence when lives are at stake.

[ it's hangman it's not that serious. anyway me remembering this was during memshare hehe. suddenly, there's a bunch of stardust!

it's this thread. ]

[stardust falls...and they pause for a very, very long time.]

...Dimitri...what the hell happened on that bus? Why. Why!
