GRAVEYARD.

[guestservices]

GRAVEYARD

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today...

...to be super dead. No, did you think you were getting a funeral? Sorry.

When you wake up, no matter how you died, you'll find yourself all in one piece, inside of a fairly large box that upon further inspection may in fact be a coffin. However, throwing the lid off isn't too difficult, and as you step out of your own grave, you'll find yourself standing in a cemetery behind a large mansion, where an iron gate stands between you and the entrance. Thankfully, the moment you approach, dirty and tired as you are, the gate swings open, and you're allowed immediate entrance into the mansion.

The mansion itself is a little dusty, and the furnishings are vintage at best, but... hey, it's home. Why don't you explore a little?

★

FIRST FLOOR.

★ On the first floor is a parlor and sitting area. On one of the tables is a phone, which as of Week 3, Saturday has a dial tone and can be used to contact hotel staff. In addition to that is a kitchen stocked with food - not to mention a large wine cellar full to the bursting with every kind of wine you could imagine. Vintage!

★ Walking down a long hallway, you'll find a laundry room with a washbin and a washboard, a few closets full of dusty old clothes, a large library, and an ornate dining room with a crystal chandelier.

Of note, the dining room in particular has a very tall wall of what look like portraits to one side. If you walk closer, however, you may notice that the portraits are moving - and appear to actually be holding black and white images of your friends (and enemies?) back in the hotel, so you can monitor their activities. That's nice! There are record players set up beneath the portraits, which come with blank records set in there already; if you turn them on while the blank records are set there, you will be able to hear what is being said by the people in the portraits.

★ At the very end of the first floor hallway is another door - it is locked up tight with a padlock, and has a message painted on it.... Don't dead? Inside here is the basement that the dead locked Qi Rong into on Friday of Week 5. In theory you might be able to take the key from someone and go in, since it hasn't been returned to Virgo; inside here is a dark, dank basement illuminated by a lantern giving off a dim green glow. There are barrels of stale water and sour wine, boxes containing stale crackers, extremely questionable jerky, and other rotted foodstuffs, and... uh... there are some unpleasant-looking rats skittering around. Icky. In practice, why would you want to? Just keep it locked.

★

SECOND FLOOR.

★ On the second floor of the mansion is a series of bedrooms. Just like the hotel, you'll find a room already booked with your name on a nameplate on the door - and a portrait of yourself, as well as your hostage, hanging just above the nameplate. The inside of the rooms are simple - a bed with red covers, a desk with a typewriter, and a small bathroom with a toilet and a clawfoot tub. Provided that you didn't give your belongings away, you'll find all of them on your bed, waiting for you upon your arrival. This includes tickets (so long as they weren't looted from your body and used to pay for hints) and other things that may have been evidence in your case but belonged to you beforehand.

★ A dumbwaiter sits at the end of the hallway of bedrooms. Inside of it is a typewriter, and a space where there once sat a golden bell labeled as Virgo's; however, the bell is currently missing. An unlabeled bell sits to the side of it. A small sign above the dumbwaiter says: PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT STAFF BY LEAVING A MESSAGE. VIRGO MAY ALSO BE SENT A TIP AND RUNG. PULL THE LEVER TO PRESS SEND. - STAFF

It seems you can reach out to the hotel staff by leaving a message or ringing the bell, though your options are limited for the latter. Sure enough, a lever in the wall next to the dumbwaiter is currently set to the "down" position. Push it to "up" and watch your message disappear.

★ Beside the dumbwaiter is one last bedroom. This room is marked with a plaque that says "Dream Suite", and has several familiar constellations decorating the door. Occasionally, when you ring the bell by the dumbwaiter while thinking of a member of Hotel Staff on the living side, the corresponding constellation on the door will light up, and you'll feel as though you should walk in. Inside, there is a line of comfortable beds. Lie down in one, and you'll have a dreamlike "in person" audience with the NPC you had attempted to contact.

★

OUTDOORS.

★ Outside of the mansion is a small garage. The ground here is worn down and thin, and you can almost make out what look like railroad tracks embedded in the dirt. Inside of the garage is a rattly old car that moves along those little railroad tracks, from the garage to the mansion front, and then back all the way around to the cemetery.

★ On the grounds, there is a garden full of flowers. There are also the remnants of gardening supplies and supplies to package and send bouquets, but none of these supplies are in useable condition now.

★ A "bumper cars" rink has been made by clearing out all of the rocks, weeds and grass in a sizeable area. There are some small slopes and dips, and a bumper barrier along the outside of the rink which was made by piling up compacted dead leaves from the graveyard. There are two "cars": laundry baskets that have rudimentary jar lid wheels with ladle axles and nails stolen from a dining room chair. They have been padded with some old clothing, like that will save anyone. Since we don't have electricity in hell, each "car" has one paddle made from tree branches broken down into the appropriate size, presumably used to push the cars around.

★ The cemetery where you first awaken is a direct copy of the cemetery outside of the hotel - right down to the placement of statues, mausoleums, and the creepy atmosphere. Your grave remains after you wake up in it, in case you want to take a dirt nap.

LETTERS.

[guestservices]

[there is a box that has "LETTERS" hastily scrawled on the side in messy handwriting. in theory, they will get sent to somewhere on the living side. in practice... who knows?

either way, put any letters your character would send here (and please note the week/day in your header!) but keep in mind that they would be written on the typewriter rather than handwritten.]

W5, MONDAY AM

[callalilies]

[ tch... paperwork. anyways, very sneakily slid into the letter box when this green goblin stinky bastard isn't around because we need this box intact please ]

TO: HUA CHENG

Queue WRong, the green lantern is obnoxiously bright here.

Things are moving quickly, afraid we've found ourselves in a jam. Doing our best. Hope this makes its way to you un-tampered with, but I'm sure you can figure it out if it does.

TO: DILUC RAGNVINDR

Some honeymoon. But I'm fine. Don't do anything stupid, I know I've said it before, but again. Ask if Crane knows a young man with a pet pig, pretty please? I love you.

TO: SYLVAIN JOSE GAUTIER

Put your lips to work elsewhere and start talking to the Staff. Find out what you can. Report back. I'm putting you to work now so don't you forget it and don't die on me, or I'll truly start haunting your ass. Check on Virgo, as they're no longer here with us. And send them my apologies if possible.

TO: ESTELLISE SIDOS HEURASSEIN

We're getting by down here. Ran into some trouble, but we'll figure it out. I hope you are well despite it all. If possible, we could use some first aid supplies, but no more than what you might be able to spare. Stay safe, dear.

W5, MONDAY AM

[cuedoves]

[ also sneakily sent when goblin isn't around ]

TO: ESTELLISE SIDOS HEURASSEIN

Stay strong, Estelle. I know this is hard. But you'll get through it. We're okay down here, just dealing with a mess we got ourselves into. Check on Virgo.

TO: SEBASTIAN DEBESTE

You're doing fine. Keep going. We're okay here, don't worry about us.

TO: SHEILA HAMMOND

I'm glad you're okay.

[decaptych]

TO: Harrowhark Nonagesimus

TO: Bradley Bain

hooraay yyou did it. everyone is doing okay except we set loose an ass hole from the basement and we gotta catch him, no i can't explain what the fuck that means because i don't know either. trying not get eaten by him, check in with the staf f for me thanks

yoohoo

[dms]

to Rin:

(4) You're amazing, RinRin! We've been waiting for you guys to find the mail room! I'm so glad everything got through.

They're not wrong about the eating thing. No idea how to change that yet. -333

[agleam]

to harrow

Aikawa told me what happened.

I'll look forward to getting that explanation.

- Rupert

to lup

I love you, too, and I miss you so much already. It's been about six weeks, so it should only be around two weeks until I can see you again. I'm looking forward to it. I'm saving a hug for you! Tell Jason thanks for watching him, and thanks for helping out, too.

- Rupert

to sheila

It isn't your fault. Well, assuming it was a shadow, but I can't imagine why you'd decide to do something like that on your own, so... Either way! You don't need to be sorry. I get the feeling you would have done it differently than that if you could have. And I'm really glad you're okay.

I'll let them know. Can you remind everyone of the same thing?

- Rupert

to bradley

Not sure which of the two options you mentioned it is yet. We're still working on finding more out. We need more tickets really badly, if there's any way to send a couple it would help... People have been going on field trips and we need tickets to heal them. I don't know if sending them will work, but it would be good to try. Maybe just one to start in case it doesn't work? I don't want you to waste a bunch.

- Rupert

to tsurumaru

Are you the one who sent the letter about being the worst surprise? Please sign your letters if so! If it was you, is there a specific reason you think it's going to get more dangerous? Things have been alright here. There's some guy here and he sucks but we're dealing with it. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

- Rupert

to yuri

I got your letter, so you aren't shouting into the void! Thanks for writing. You don't have to be sorry, it wasn't your fault. I'm glad you slept through it and didn't get wrapped up in all that... And with any luck, I'll be back with you guys in just a few weeks. Looking forward to it!

- Rupert

W5, Wednesday

[stillnot]

Tsurumaru
it's okay. thanks for the ticket we really appreciate it. passed on what you said we'll see what we can get out of him.

Harrow
no idea what's with the items in our graves. or our missing bodies. weapons here wouldn't hurt to have but i don't know.

Cloud
didn't know about there being other rounds but maybe someone else on this side did. good to know. been talking to gemini but it's hard. anyway why do you guys get a nice party and we just get a yelling cannibal?
ps: is lup doing okay?

WK5 - WEDNESDAY.

[decaptych]

TO: Harrowhark Nonagesimus

someone before me wrote that letter i'm sure. we all crawled out of coffins and graves when we woke up here though. basically.

i don't need an apology, because if what you did kills the other person who's here because of me, there's no way in hell i'd forgive you anyway.

- a

TO: Bradley Bain

ok but did you have any trouble realising it's me????no? that's right i fukn thought so. anyway some of us sent flowrrs cusmail wasn't reaching so a couple guys like kazuu tried sending something called flower messages, cutout letters aren't us as far as i know

also if you find out anything about OUR BODIES BEING FCKN GONE can you let me know

- a

TO: Lup

course! we've been cooking. by the time we see each other i might be good enough to impress your highn mighty palate >:)

it's okay, i don't mind. but if we can't get out of here, if you see a blonde chick named nikaido over there, help her out for me will you?

- a

[dms]

Estelle:

(5) Yeah, I sent you a bouquet! And a couple of other people, too. We can't send any more, though; someone messed up the bouquet stuff. So it really is good you found the mail room! -333

Sebastian:

(4) Still working on getting virgin star back, but we're okay for now. Wish us luck! (And you look totally snazzy! I'm totes jelly you guys get a fun party like that without us!) -333

week 5 weds

[illomened]

Tsurumaru Kuninaga-san,
Thank you very much for your letter! We would send more flowers but we have a very big rat here right now who is causing a lot of problems, as I've heard you have been told. We are dealing with it. I hope that you are doing well in the meantime. Please enjoy the festivities for us! We all said hello and waved back! You are very kind, thank you!

w5, wednesday

[frostythehitman]

Cloud,
Nice outfit. It suits you.
See if you can send us some booze that isn't wine. Oh, and tickets and first aid kits. We can get injured here and don't have much to heal with.
Keep holding the fort down.
-uhhhhh
oh shit, not this again
damn it, okay, whatever you know who I am already anyway


Estelle,
Two weeks ago, did you find any golden eggs? I'm up goose creek until I find out.
Hope you had a nice night.
-metal arm guy

Week 5: Thursday

[ercnerd]

Sheila

Don't worry about it. I relayed your request. Get lots of rest and remember to eat; it's not good to skip meals.

S

Bradley

I write what I mean. I don't know how similar the conditions are to those of the school. We saw the missing bodies, but we don't know the cause.

We're still here. Hang in there.

S

Estelle

Don't worry. Just believe in me! You're not alone, so don't even think for a second that you are.

TO: YOO JOONGHYUK

I'm well aware and had my reasons. I know you won't do the same.

- Kaeya

TO: HUA CHENG

Working on the garden. Thank you for the suggestions. We're taking care of the pest down here. Recommendations on rat poison?

Thank you for taking care of him. My eternal gratitude and a few games of dice in your den when we're done with this.

- Kaeya

TO: YURI LECLERC

Believe me, I don't need to cause trouble, it's already here.

I know that it's not the easiest, but that's why I think you can manage it. I hope you and yours are well. I'm glad Sheila's returned to you all, it's best that she isn't here at the moment, that's for sure.

Take care, mockingbird.

- Kaeya

TO: ESTELLISE SIDOS HEURASSEIN

We could use a couple of tickets if you have any to spare, just in case as they were used before for healing mostly. Working on something right now that will hopefully turn things back to some semblance of normal down here as we've found some trouble.

You all looked very lovely last night. I was so happy to see you all.

- Kaeya

FROM: h.estheim
TO:   c.vonriegan

Claude, please read this first letter of mine very carefully.
All is well here, though there are some days I regret leaving my Wiwaldi keepsake behind.
Never thought I would say this, but...
Not having it here makes me feel like... a part of me is missing.
I'm kidding.
But I felt like you would appreciate the laugh.
Anyway, could you please confer with Harrowhark? She's been getting a lot of our correspondences.
Lup as well. Thank you. Be safe.

harrow

FROM: h.estheim
TO:   h.nonagesimus

Hello, Harrowhark. It's Thursday.
Early, maybe, I'm sorry--but I couldn't help myself.
Regardless, thank you for sending that letter. It meant more to me than you know.
Everything is fine here--as fine as they can be in death, of course.

Knowledge is a precious commodity; I'm sure you're aware.
Even so, we must be careful with what we choose to share. Please read this first letter of mine very carefully.
Edits to our letters are very likely, so we've been trying to be careful and splitting the burden.
Please confer with Claude and Lup once you receive this... and stay safe, all of you.

lup

FROM: h.estheim
TO:   l.lastname

Very nice to hear from you, but...
I never stopped to consider your "full name" before this. It's a little distracting?
Regardless, thank you for checking in on me.
Good to know you've located the mail room. Please read this first letter of mine very carefully.
Our correspondences should be more frequent now, even if they may be censored or edited in some way.

Something easier said than done, but... stay safe tonight.
A futile request for the most part, I know, but I still feel like it's an appreciated sentiment nonetheless.
For the record, please check in with Harrowhark and Claude before nightfall, if you can.
Every day is a challenge, but I refuse to give up or give in. I hope you feel the same.

Marie:

(3) You've got nothing to apologize for, Maririn! I'm glad you guys can write us now, too! We've got some trouble here, but we're working on it. Not sure if our new guest is our host's friend or not, but don't worry about us! Some really talented people are here, so we'll be fine. -333

Futaba:

(3) It was boring until we got our newest guest stop. Don't think you'd know them stop. They're kind of mean and scary but it'll be boring again soon for sure stop. I'm jelly you guys had a party without us and you looked soooooo cute stop. Did you win stop. -333

Sebastian:

(5) Look up flower language - each one has a different meaning, but we can't send any more. Our newest guest is rude and wrecked the stuff for it. They're looking for GoGo so don't let them come back yet. IDK if that will go through but we're doing what we can over here.

I miss you, too, Bestie! But try to take it easy this weekend, okay? You've had a rough week! So you deserve rest, too. -333

[agleam]

to jason

I'm alright. I wish I was still there with you guys, but it's not so bad here. Definitely better than daycare! Tell Porridge I miss him, and that he has permission to bite you if you say anything hurtful

That was a joke and it would have been obvious if this wasn't typed out

Anyways, I'm all better now, so you don't have to worry too much. I even got my eye back! We're still working on a way to make it out of here, but I know I'll see you before this is all over. I'm looking forward to it.

P.S. Tell everyone to sign their letters

- Rupert

to shinobu

I haven't given up, either, and neither has anyone else here. I'm really looking forward to seeing you and the others again, so I definitely won't lose hope.

I don't think they reach us. At least, I haven't heard if anybody has received the things on their grave, and if there's anything on mine I haven't gotten it. I obviously got your letter, though! And hearing from you again is the most important thing I could want.

It isn't about your side.

If you didn't want to say whatever it was in your first letter, could I hear about it in your second? You can be honest, whatever it is, even if I do end up disagreeing.

Either way, you're a really great friend, Shinobu. Stay safe over there. I don't want to see you again until this is all over.

- Rupert

w5, thursday

[frostythehitman]

Sebastian-
Yes, it was. I didn't know what it would actually result in, if anything, and I couldn't tell from here. It's supposed to be a "present" but no idea how. Is it helpful? Y/N, don't give me details.

He didn't tell me, I learned from his victim once I got here. Just wanted to remind you to keep your focus on the right target. Sounds like you're doing a good job of it.
-metal arm guy


Sylvain-
AGAIN????

[dms]

Estelle:

There was a guy who tried to attack them, but don't worry! That guy's gone now and the door is locked again. A couple of people did get hurt, but otherwise we're all safe, and GoGo came back after the trial ended, too!

I'm glad you're okay, but try to take it easy! You should get plenty of rest after how rough this week has been. We'll take care of the others once they get here. -333

W5 SUNDAY AM

[callalilies]

Dear Diluc,

There's something to be said about how a week already feels like an eternity away from you.

I know that you've been having difficulties... but, I saw you on Wednesday night, and couldn't think of a single thing I wanted more than to return to you. I'm glad Hua Cheng saw to your dancing. You're too beautiful to stay pressed up against the wall, unless. You know. I'm the one doing that.

In any case. Know that you are, as always, not only the love of my life, but my best friend, my partner in all adversity. You're at the end of my string. Please remain as you are, stand strong. I don't want to see you down here. As I've stated before: if you do, then I'm refusing to let you in. You survive.

Give my dear Canopus both mine and Pol's love.

Shine true, firefly.

Love,
Kae

Dear Hua Cheng,

All is well and the rat problem has been extinguished, how delightful. Overall, I am just grateful that you are still safe, as are Dokja, Joonghyuk, Rin, and Diluc. As Dragonspine endures in fits of frost and storm, I do plan to endure regardless of whatever is thrown at us. I'll see you all in the end, even if I have to claw through dirt myself.

Pour one out on my grave for me. It's no celebration, just a bid for you to speak with me as we used to. I believe, amaranthus and locus would be fitting flowers to plant in a garden for the two of us.

The black roses are lovely. Thank you.

Yours,
Kaeya

Dear Mikazuki,

Thank you for the beautiful letter and the reminder of the trees on the living side. I'll treasure it closely. I'm glad that Hua Cheng has joined you in your endeavors. He has an eye for arrangements indeed.

I hold SOME contempt... but I think that's natural when certain things occur. I don't know if this portion of my letter will remain whole. Regardless, I will see to it that he is well taken care of. I still care.

As for Diluc, he is upset, but his fire will burn a little stronger as the days pass. I appreciate you bringing me news about him. I miss him more than words can say. But it will take more than this to break him. Do you know the story of the phoenix, Mikazuki? He is not unlike this.

Ah, and one last thing. We will do our best on our side to make certain that the transactions between living and dead are recorded in our letters, but we're very late in this game. All the same - is there anything noticeably different about the stationary upon which our letters arrive? Any sort of stamps or marks to differentiate it besides the redactions?

Yours,
Kaeya

Dear Yuri,

Trial was quite the whirlwind. I know that it couldn't have been easy to work through it all. Please take care of yourself... we'll keep an eye out for them down here. I'll make certain they write you as well.

Make certain you keep your chin up. Let those around you support you, alright?

Sending you my love. I wish I had more to give you besides that at the moment.

Yours,
Kaeya

[illomened]

To Mikazuki Munechika,

I will start, then, by introducing myself properly. My name is Okita Souji and I have been here from before Sieghart-san's arrival. Though I cannot remember much of use about those moments before I awoke on this side, I can at least promise that I will do everything in my capabilities to ensure the safe return of those here.

Your letters have gotten through intact, and notice to sign them has been passed along. Please know that the tickets some sent through with their letters also arrived safely. Your flower petals did, too; they are very lovely, thank you.

To answer your questions: we are in another location. It is separate from the hotel. It is a two-floor mansion on a small property that includes a garage, as well as a cemetery that is an exact duplicate of the one on your side. It takes two to three tickets for Virgo-san to fully heal one group of people returning from an excursion, so another set of three would be appreciated, as we still have two weeks after this. Unfortunately, as far as we are aware, there is currently no other way to deliver larger items to us, or alternate methods of delivery. You could try to bury things in the cemetery? Either in the dirt itself or left in a coffin.

I am delighted to make your proper acquaintance; please tell Tsurumaru-san that I said hello, as well! I look forward to speaking with you both. Please let me know if there is anything that I could do for any of you, and I will do my best to fulfill your requests.

With sincerity,
Okita Souji

[dms]

Rin:

When I said that they weren't wrong about the eating thing, I didn't mean the rat that Yaya mentioned. It's something different. We don't know a ton about it yet, but we aren't in any immediate danger, I think.

Are you taking care of Bestie? It looks like he's having a rough time. I'm worried about you both.

You looked supes adorbs at the dance, though! I got some pics, but they aren't that good. Totes jelly that we missed it, so maybe we'll have to have a party of our own! Or maybe we can have another, better one once we're all back?

Miss you guys! Stay safe over there! -333

Futaba:

Not just K & R stop. One was here before any of us, the other just got out last week stop. The second one is gone now so no worries stop! Glad you're okay too stop. Monster Hunter Alitaba stop! Love the art too stop! -333

Harrow:

Someone here's really hung up on whatever happened to our bodies. Is it okay to tell us? I know you said it isn't relevant, but it might help them relax if they know. I don't know how else to help move on from that?

Also FTR, healing over here costs at least 2 tickets, 3 for more comprehensive healing. We don't have any way of earning more here, so it's just what we're left with after death or what's sent to us.

Take care of your peeps! We don't want a ton more people over here if we can help it. -333

Mikazuki:

Thanks for writing, Mikka~! Your letter came in totes uncensored, at least for me. I think for all of us?

I haven't forgotten what you said before, and I'm doing my best. I'm trying to help however I can over here, even if it's just sending letters and having a medkit ready, just in case. And we're all cheering you guys on from over here!

But you know, even if you did start out as an object, you're way more than just that. So I don't think it's that strange for you to start to treasure those around you, and anyone you miss. It does make me wish we could find a way back a little faster, though; I really hate to keep you guys waiting for so long!

Those flowers for Stella weren't from me, but it's not exactly "sweet dreams." More the opposite, for someone whose hand is forced. Dreams can only happen in the dark, you know? We can't send flowers anymore, though. Everything was wrecked this past week, so unless we can fix it, we're stuck with only the letters now. But if I could send more, I'd send you monkshead, blue violet, anemone, freesia, and deep pink roses. I tried to find ones in your colors, but this would be pretty, too, wouldn't it?

Oh, and since Tsururun asked, it's 2-3 tickets for healing here! 3 means they can do more to help. Say hi to him for me, too! We supes appreciate all he's doing for us, and we totes waved back!

Stay safe! I do want to see you again, but not over here, 'kay? I don't think this place really suits your style, anyway! -333

Sebastian:

Hey, Bestie. You've had it really rough lately, haven't you? Make sure to take it easy, okay? Get some rest when you can. This late in the game, things are going to start ramping up even more, so you'll need it.

We watched the meeting. Me and Bucky... we're a little worried about you! Please don't be too hard on Luca... I could have been in his position just as easily as anyone else. I was, in the prism. We can talk about that later.

As for tickets, we need at least 2 for healing. 3 is for more extensive heals. We don't have to do tasks for it here, it's just the tickets. Oh, and Stella's RSVP and Jay's tickets made it through, so tell them thanks for us!

Anyway! I miss you, you know? I really wish I could see you in person, just not on this side. So no more adventures for you, okay? Stay safe or I might have to get mad! (JK, you know I could never!)

Keep doing your best, but don't forget to rest! (Hehe, look, I'm a poet!) -333

W5 SUN

[illomened]

To Tsurumaru Kuninaga,
We see you every time you wave and we always wave back! It seems we get our letters at different times though, perhaps? I am writing this just after your meeting; I received your letter after it was over.
In any case, we heard everything and we had a discussion of our own. I believe other matters of importance have been brought up in letters to different people, and I can't think of anything left to ask, but I will send you notice if anything new were to come up.

I very much appreciate you trying to let others know, though. It really does mean very much to me. You are quite a champion over here, you know! You brighten people's moods simply by giving us a way to feel remembered. Thank you.

Ah - and could you pass on to Mikazuki-san that while the hotel and this place are separate, it is still part of the "hotel property"? Perhaps it is on an undisclosed floor in the hotel itself. We are not actually sure where we are in specific relation to the rest of you.

Please take care. We will send more flowers if we are able!

With sincerity,
Okita Souji

to estelle-
I suppose I shall miss you as well. It was, at the least, a relief not to have spent the last of my time alone, but I know you shall do what you are able over there. Keep yourself safe. I will attempt to send you anything I learn. Both RSVPs here as well- tell me if you think you may need one there. -H.

to molly-
I had no intention of informing anyone, but I suppose you've taken care of it yourself, haven't you? Be careful. There seemed to be few enough of you willing to actually speak up, and I do not exactly wish to see you dead too.

You may consider your apology accepted as well. Not for being influenced in the first place, but I will accept it for being your target regardless. Should anything happen to him as a result, though, you shall owe both of us. -E-S.

to cloud-
Good luck keeping them all in hand; you shall need it, I think. I will let you know if there is aught we learn which you may find of use, but Estelle should hear of it as well. -E-S.

to harrow-
I cannot blame you. I expected it.

Evidently, lack of relevance will not stop others from focusing upon the missing corpses, so do expect to keep hearing about it. Deal with what you can over there; we shall be doing the same. -E-S.

to lup-
I knew what would happen, when it was him. I could not simply give up and die, but neither did I exactly wish him to. I hold no ill will-- unless this all turns out poorly for us in the end, but I should think that excusable. -H.

Tsurumaru,

I am writing to you on Sunday evening. I do have the candy still, as does Claude. If you all use the third one, please do so in public so we might see how it functions. Otherwise, I can attempt to send mine to you, as I hope it is small enough to do so.

There is one strange individual here, though I believe you know of him already. The dead did indeed attack Virgo and release a cannibal, though it seems to have been resolved. Should I see sign of anyone else, I will let you know posthaste. For your calculations, healing here costs 2-3 tickets, and Sylvain and I have 8 between us already.

Give Mikazuki my regards, until my next missive, for which I will save sentimentalities. I thought it best to respond promptly this time. And please look after her. I know I was unkind. Thank you always for your kindness, for which I am ever unworthy.

Good luck,

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
