Right!

And you'll have to join.

[guestservices]

Since when was that a part of the deal?

[preowned]

Since right now.

[guestservices]

[boo.]

We'll see. No promises? The staff is usually pretty busy during the week.

[preowned]

Okay, okay! I'm pleased with just the possibility then.

[guestservices]

We'll see what we can do. It might take a few days but that'll give everyone some time to cool off after what just happened, too.

[preowned]

Right.

[ a pause ]

And it may help if people expand outside their social circles a little more.

[guestservices]

You think? That...wouldn't be so bad. I get that a lot of you showed up with groups of people you already knew, but if you're here, you're gonna have to learn to get along and everything. So something more fun and less murder-y could be good for that.

[preowned]

Exactly. Plus, if we know each other a little more, it might make dealing with trials easier. It's harder to figure things out when you don't know someone well...

[guestservices]

You're probably right. Knowing more never hurts, especially if people won't always say everything they should.

[pondering...]

Let me see what we can do. We'll come up with some ideas and try to make it work.

[i.e. wait for later this week because mods already had this planned, hilarious.]

[preowned]

[ me 🤝 mods

but tsuru just nods, and gives them a thumbs up. ]

Great! So, now that is out of the way... how are you?

[guestservices]

[party! happy for your thumbs up tsuru.]

...could be better, could be worse. This week's been kind of a roller coaster for most of us, I think. It almost feels like we're still waiting for the other shoe to drop but what's even left?

[preowned]

That may be jinxing it

But I understand. You really never know what to expect.

[guestservices]

If there's a jinx in place I doubt it's only my fault.

Makes it difficult to prepare but it does kinda look like we're falling into a pattern.

[preowned]

Do you know anything about the shadow that they're saying is appearing in front of them?

[guestservices]

In terms of...where it came from or?

[preowned]

Both. Is it the actual person who brought us here? Or something else that's just aiding in its goal?

[guestservices]

I'm not totally sure. It's hard to track that kind of thing, especially when there's all kinds of shadows in the hotel to begin with.

[preowned]

But the others don't really go into your body and compel you...



Probably?

[guestservices]

...probably. [...] Sounds a little creepy when you put it that way, Tsurumaru.

[not that possession isn't creepy, but still.]

[preowned]

[ he laughs.

also, i just realized, can i ask this. who is taller. ]

It is, yes. It's pretty invasive.

[guestservices]

[tsuru is!]

But it's kind of similar to what happened to you guys in that village you and Mikazuki came from, right?

[preowned]

Yes. Although there, once you were compelled you were likely to continue to do so unless you were caught... I am not sure if that would be the case here? If you are only really required to do it once.

[guestservices]

...I'm not sure either. You guys have caught all of the people the shadows have approached.

[preowned]

And hopefully that streak will continue!

... however, if there are multiple kills in the future per week, that'll be harder.
