... I did. I can maybe guess the person for the other three. We didn't have a lot of time to talk about it.
[ Based on their wounds and all? Only some, though. There's some relief that desperately tries to cloud something else. ]
Fortunately, I think they passed without having to kill them. Illusions or not... They felt very real and being forced to take a life of a friend will always be—heinous.
[dw didn't want me to have an answer, and taichi's also not sure he likes this answer because. haha! nier says something about taking the life of a friend and something in taichi's emotions flickers to...something a little like grief and something a little like anger and like exhaustion before it settles on curious and quiet.]
That's the thing about good illusions. They always feel real enough to make you the weakest. [it's bad.] But...you got past them. All of you. Was it any better after that?
[ wow ty losing my tags. Anyway, don't worry, Taichi! The other three didn't need to kill their illusions, maybe. ]
Mm... We were told that this guy's wits was on the moon, so we took a flaming chariot to a palace that was there. It was very pretty, but it was littered with. [ How does he say this. ] Lost items.
I think it showed us people we've lost, too. In a pile, I was lured in by a ribbon that looked like my sister's and I heard her voice—I saw her—then I realized a metal spike pierced my shoulder.
The spacesuits are to go to the moon, that's correct. [ Though... Nier doesn't know what space is really? Or what happens when you go there without a suit. ] My sister's ribbon was tied to the spire.
I believe at this point several items called to each one of us while what we were looking for was at the very top. I think Leo was the one resisting and climbing up to it, then Maya resisted and helped me.
[ Hence her wound. ]
... Tsuyukusa—the paladin that we were helping saved him. We eventually did get the wits and it ends like some kind of fairytale. Our reward was this.
[ Shows him this fucking paper. The half circle is cut out, by the way. Nier is pissed because WHAT IS THIS!!!!!!!!!! ]
[ Like wow. Sometimes you are just two seconds away from dying. ]
It's a shape. [ YEAH. ] Possibly. I do plan to talk to them tomorrow when I get the time... I'm not sure if we'll get to talk about it much with what waits for us ahead.
Maybe after the weekend then. I think it's important we figure out what we're working with, but I also don't think it's wrong for us to have other priorities to worry about right away.

Should've been someone else's job, but whatever. There's always trials. [frowning!!]
...what kind of trials did you guys have? Were people held hostage for you, too?
no subject
[ Nier doesn't like them, either. It spurs rage before it settles into mild irritation. ]
We were forced to fight them.

Did you have to fight Kainé? [nier was in kaine's pod during their adventure, so he thinks it would make sense if it was reversed.]

So it was a place to distract you enough to hurt you. Did you see where the spike came from? Were the spacesuits because of the moon?
no subject
[ So yeah, Taichi. You can use the imagination. ]
The spacesuits are to go to the moon, that's correct. [ Though... Nier doesn't know what space is really? Or what happens when you go there without a suit. ] My sister's ribbon was tied to the spire.
It seemed innocuous.

What the fuck is this. [YEAH.] The other group that was gone might have the other half. We should check with them later.

... I'm not looking forward to it. [ Weariness. ] Thank you for checking on me, Taichi.

...sure. I'll check in with you again another time. Or at least I'll let you know if I learn anything new.
