[ lewd eavesdropping.... goat...... she expected better of you ]

Why? Just to keep an eye on us...?

[retellers]

It is part of your connection with us.

[ it wasn't their choice and in fact some of the leaders would probably be much happier if they didn't have to listen to y'all all the time ]

[chanteuser]

[ wow, she's riveting. ]

So, it's a side effect rather than a conscious choice. Does it work the same for knowing where we are?

[retellers]

[ they nod. ]

Though as I said, it's difficult to keep track of everything.

[retellers]

Mmhm. Would you like to come inside? I can't show you all of it, but you can come in.

[chanteuser]

[ !!!! castle lore ]

I'd love to.

[retellers]

Let's go. [ they will walk through the front entrance, which leads to a lobby-like area that has six doors. rabbit ignore them, though, and instead head for stairs. ] We need to be quiet so we don't run into anyone.

[chanteuser]

[ she just nods, rather than verbally respond. she's being very, very quiet. ]

[retellers]

[ they will walk down a few hallways until rabbit finally opens a door! it leads to a bedroom. it's fairly girly, with pastels and stuffed animals on the bed. there's also a desk and a closet. it's all very neat. ]

[chanteuser]

[ ... ! ]

Oh!

Is this your room, Bunny?

[retellers]

It is, please make yourself comfortable. [ she gestures at the bed and desk. pick. ]

[chanteuser]

It's so cute...

[ she will take a seat over at the desk! ]

[retellers]

Thank you! [ she's happy... ] Um, okay. What else do you want to talk about?

[chanteuser]

[ ah. well. ]

There were two... bigger things, I guess?

What is nova splintering, and I wanted to ask more about something I found the other week. I don’t mind which one you want to answer first.

[retellers]

Ask me about the other thing first. Splintering may take longer to explain. [ watch the other thing be something more complicated ]

[chanteuser]

[ yeah francy, explain string theory to alex. ]

[ she holds up her hand, the one with the ribbon and the bracelets on, and taps the silver bracelet. ]

I found this the other week - when Sora and I ended up in that weird other place. I think I know what it might do, but it's missing a gem from the bracelet itself. I was wondering if you guys knew anything about these other places we went to the other week, or if there's something important about what the bracelet's missing.

[retellers]

I don't know anything about the bracelet. But that place... I guess it's best described as a concentration of nova. Kind of like the assignments you do every week, except the memories in these places are a lot more powerful. It's why they're dangerous.

[chanteuser]

[ well she tried ]

And it just... pulls people in? It seemed like we were just suddenly there, without even knowing what was happening.

week 3, wednesday

[retellers]

[ Alex will receive a text message that reads simply "outside"! Once she steps out, there Wolf be. Standing there. ]

Hey. Something you wanted?

[chanteuser]

[ she waves the coin in her hand. ]

I got a request from Rufus, something about finding people to ask questions?

[retellers]

... Right. Is that all he said?

[ hrm ]

[chanteuser]

He said it was like a bonding exercise?

[ is she about to drop her voice like she's mimicking rufus? yes. ]

"All you have to do is ask questions and learn about the other party."

... and to give you this coin before Thursday.

[retellers]

... Right. What do you want to know?

[chanteuser]

[ ... why are both of you like this. ]

Mmm. Favourite colour?

[retellers]

[ ... uh... ]

Red, I think. [ they don't sound super sure? ]
