[there's a lopsided sort of grin.]

I've been better. It's...kinda felt like things really aren't gonna give us a break anytime soon.

[arcsplainist]

Hah... I understand. Truly, I do.

Though it may not feel like it now... we are on track. We will end this, sooner or later.

[goalsides]

You think so? [that's a nice sentiment, though he sounds a little skeptical.] I kinda wish we had more proof to it.

[arcsplainist]

[ He smiles, a bit. ]

I had been assured so by Sally. Or—perhaps I should say more accurately, by Annie.

[goalsides]

Oh yeah? [wild.] What'd she have to say?

[arcsplainist]

We hadn't long to speak, unfortunately, for it lasted but a moment. But—hm, let's see... Her words were, 'you are doing well to figure things out'.

'Tis a good thing, aye? So you needn't be disheartened.

[goalsides]

...[...he just...kind of stares at him.]

...okay? [he just kind of seems confused about that actually.]

[arcsplainist]

[ ... ]

Have I misspoken?

[goalsides]

[he blinks suddenly, shaking his head as if to clear it.]

No. No, that's great to hear, Alphinaud. It's a good thing to keep in mind.

[arcsplainist]

—Are you certain? I mind not elaborating if need be. Have I wrongly assumed you were aware of the situation regarding the dormitory leaders...?

[goalsides]

No I'm aware...but now I'm kinda wondering what you know about their situation?

[it's a little hard to focus but he is giving it his best shot.]

[arcsplainist]

We may speak more on the matter, if you wish, but more importantly... Do you need a moment to sit?

[goalsides]

No, it's fine. [he's standing outside in a short-sleeved shirt and injured to hell and back but now he's more curious what alphinaud's talking about. whatever else is going on doesn't matter as much in the moment.]

Go ahead.

[arcsplainist]

[ Well, he wouldn't be the first that's just "lol whatever" at the cold :/// ]

If you are certain... Well, anyroad, about the leads—you have seen the news of the cast list, correct? And that the names they have introduced to us as are not who they really are?

[goalsides]

Yeah, I've heard about it. It matches the other documents I've seen which isn't that promising. But for now they really do think those names are theirs.

[arcsplainist]

That they believe it is not quite right. 'Twould be more accurate to say they have had false personalities implanted into them somehow, that they must now act out against their wills. But they are aware, deep down inside, that is not who they really are.

[goalsides]

Like I said. For now, they really do think those names are theirs. [when they're being controlled and their fake personas are at the forefront of stuff, they really don't know much outside of that.]

We just need to keep giving them vouchers to give them more leverage. Right?
