I doubt Caleb's coming back tonight. Futaba-chan keeps crying. Everybody else is slowly losing their minds. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do for them.
[it's...difficult.]
Supposedly we'll get to leave in another four weeks, but I don't know how bad it's gonna get before then. Or if that's even true. It doesn't feel like we're closer but we have to be somehow. [a beat.] If it's been like any other week, the dorm heads might have more documents delivered to them we can buy.
[ mmm... his brows pinch, sympathetic. ] ...That was us, last week. Just - I did my best to be there for everybody. We sat around together like a big pile after we were done talking to Rupert and Kon and I cooked. Half of us didn't say anything to each other, but we just hung out. It helped. I can't give that good of advice, but they'll be glad to have you around.
[ for the second part, though! ] I can help with the new info, though, cause I know the answer. There will be. Vi told me - I got to talk to Iris for a little bit, the other day. Every new week, we can get another piece, but it has to be requested by a different person in the dorm, each time.
That's what we did Thursday night when we got back. Everybody slept down in the common room. Luke, too. I don't know if the mood's the same for tonight but I'll just have to try to as many of them as I can.
[he perks up slightly.] That's how? I wasn't sure how it all worked. I bought the first documents from Chad right before I switched, and Yamato had bought them from Luke before I could even tell him I knew they existed. I'll have to talk to Fall to see who's buying this week.
[...hm.] Did you get anything else out of Iris when you spoke to her?
Always gotta try, yeah? Sometimes that's all you can do.
[ is try your best. he has a feeling taichi'll get that. protagonists be like.
but, yeah. the info bit has him nodding. ] Yeah. We gotta collaborate, in case the info we get is different. She told me to make sure we're verifying everything we can, and... most importantly, that our enemy here isn't each other. It's whatever bigger powers are in play. I'm tryin to keep that in mind, even when I get pissed and I find out the dude I play baseball with murdered someone who really fucking matters to a lot of people.
[ .... ugh. he's close to beau, close to caleb; molly's loss hurt. ichiro shakes his head. ]
I didn't use a mind control spell or anything to talk to her - it just happened when I traded some vouchers, and I got lucky. It was only for maybe half a minute. Have you gotten to talk to any of the others?
...that sounds a lot like what our culprits have been trying to tell us without really being able to say. [so yes. sometimes all you can do is try and then run in circles screaming.] It's hard to verify things when we don't have people who can verify the truth. What happened to Caiman though just kind of confirms that we really are having our hands forced here.
[there's a slow nod.]
Lalli told us that Luke--Riku--was able to regain control of himself a little bit, but on Wednesday our dorm used a mind control thing and also a potion I think to keep him around longer. We weren't able to learn much, but just having him back was nice.
[a pause.] I'm pretty sure the place we went on Thursday was directly related to him though. I recognized those weird white monsters, plus that was the same boy we saw in another memory. And our swords are similar to the one he has in his room.
