[ it's wholly unfair that alphinaud is just taking it in stride because izumo will take a half step back and does her best not to scream at them from embarrassment. she will, though, turn a lovely shade a red, cross her arms, and look away. ]
Wh... Who.. What does it matter to you!? We—th, there are important things to talk about.
After the first time it happened, we knew these places were based on someone's memories, we just didn't know for sure if they were ours or not. But they most likely are.
[ hm. ]
No one else spoke to me about this particular one though. I've only heard small bits and pieces, but nothing in detail about what they saw.
That particular thing, no... but I do know I went to some school that was uh, probably not normal.
[ probably. they haven't really remembered enough to say definitely. ]
It does make everyone talking about how the Realm is coming up with these torture dungeons real awkward though? Like, wow, sorry that my supposed memories are kind of fucked up?
It may be drawing from your memories, but it could very well be twisting them to suit its own purposes, as well. There's no saying that they are entirely true to what you had once lived.
Well, what I think that's most important to take from those things is if there's any similarities between them and what people may have gotten out of them, rather than the content itself.
[ they glance back at the yearbook then back to them. ]
[ why. why must her life be like this? either way, she'll take the book back to hold, i guess, if alphi didn't take it. she was already holding onto it before what's another round... ]
Hey, I haven't been asking around enough, but do you know anything about this supposed monster that's out there siphoning the nova? From my understanding we're losing as much as we gain.
Honestly, it's not even like... here. From what we can tell, it's going to places the Realm is connected to and is taking nova. I don't think it even knows where we are, or else it would head directly to us.
I know at the beginning some people were wondering why we stayed in this specific town all the time. It's because there's a layer of protection over this area that helps us be undetected. It's just not... you know, completely perfect, like how our protection over your memories aren't perfect and things are still slipping through. But so far, it seems to haven't noticed us yet.
[ but hmmm ]
I think it'll find us eventually though, especially as we keep getting more nova. There's no way it would miss it all coming here for too long. And... hopefully we can beat it in a fight if it comes to that.
Hopefully. Do mind some of us would be at a disadvantage.
[ his magiiiiiic ]
Though, I too have been curious about this monster. You say it has not noticed us? I had been under the assumption it has known we are out there somewhere for some time now, but as luck would have it, it has yet to locate us. Unless the one I had heard of from both Sora and Alex were a different being entirely...
[ izumo thinks of her familiars as well and some people have it really lucky and others maybe not so much. ]
But we've gotten to the point where we want it to notice us, aren't we? Obviously neither of us have any idea of what kind of monster we're dealing with and likely are only referencing what we know ourselves but—if this is the issue, why not bait it out?
Isn't a battle better when there are more bodies at your disposal than less?
I think it's more like it should probably be aware that there's someone out there trying to get in its way, but I don't think it would have any more specific details considering how many defenses we've had to put up.
[ they shake their head. ]
The problem is that if this space we're in falls apart because of an attack, then everyone here is going to immediately get K.O'd before a fight can even start. As of right now, I don't think it can handle a direct attack like that.
Aye, I concur, especially considering we know so little of this monster... Traditional methods may not even be effective against an entity so unknown to us.
Though, it does pose the question of how we could come to learn more of it.
No one wishes to be hurt, but unearthing the answers in which we seek does require throwing caution into the wind, at times. [ He'll give Izumo a sidelong glance; remember that time you wandered into the mines??? ] ... Nevertheless, when it comes to a thing such as a nova devouring beast, I for one would not wish to so blindly tackle such a problem.

week 4, thursday
they'll see tiger sitting at one of the tables of the dining room. ]
no subject
A pleasure to see you again so soon, Tiger.
no subject
Yeah, hi, again.
no subject
Are you two dating?
no subject
—Ahem. We are come for naught related to that.
[ He isn't denying it tho. ]
no subject
Wh... Who.. What does it matter to you!? We—th, there are important things to talk about.
[ she is also not denying it. ]
no subject
there's a shrug. ]
Oh, just curious. It's good to keep up with the gossip.
no subject
Oh, I hardly think so. Now then, if you'll allow us... Or shall I say, allow Izumo.
[ He cants his head her way. ]
no subject
First things first, I was told to bring this to you for you to help me understand what it is.
[ presenting the bloodied yearbook that she received from rufus during his cyoa with dorothy because he is her actual tuxedo mask meme. ]
It has to do with your memories, right?
no subject
there's a pause as they pick the yearbook up. give them a moment to flip through it. ]
I guess... no one has actually shown me this thing.
no subject
no subject
[ people die. sometimes you get attacked by a monkey...... ]
Does it really not look familiar to you?
no subject
After the first time it happened, we knew these places were based on someone's memories, we just didn't know for sure if they were ours or not. But they most likely are.
[ hm. ]

no subject
[ He turns toward Izumo. ]
Unless you have gotten more?
no subject
I'm not sure if he mentioned it, but when I spoke to Rufus he said that there was a priest that doubled as a teacher...
Does that help with anything? I have an impression that some of you might be remembering things here and there.
no subject
[ probably. they haven't really remembered enough to say definitely. ]

no subject
[ tiger might make fun of her but...she'll give them a bone. ]
I guess it matters now what this all means. It's a good thing that you all are getting your memories back as far as I can tell, right?
no subject
[ ... ]
Well, what I think that's most important to take from those things is if there's any similarities between them and what people may have gotten out of them, rather than the content itself.
[ they glance back at the yearbook then back to them. ]
no subject
[ Alphinaud likewise looks down at the yearbook, though it alone means little to him. ]
Now, 'tis a matter of putting the pieces together—should we have enough of them to do so.
no subject
[ why. why must her life be like this? either way, she'll take the book back to hold, i guess, if alphi didn't take it. she was already holding onto it before what's another round... ]

no subject
It may know not where we are, but it has to be aware we are around at all. Correct?
no subject
[ not that she's suggesting to invite it over but. uh... kind of? ]
no subject
[ but hmmm ]
I think it'll find us eventually though, especially as we keep getting more nova. There's no way it would miss it all coming here for too long. And... hopefully we can beat it in a fight if it comes to that.

rude skipping me jk it's fine.
Isn't the idea to not do as many stupid stuff? I mean, some people might be excited about hurting themselves, but if I don't have to, I don't want to.
[ oocly i realize this is a lie but... ]
... i. i sure did skip you, didn't i. closes eyes.

But we'll see.
