[ fridays are awful in these murder games. they're even worse when it's someone you know that loses their life.

shinobu cares enough that it's terrible no matter what. she is pacing the entire hotel. ]

I am sorry you had to find her.

[sageguidance]

[ he's so tired already ]

... You needn't apologize. 'Twas necessary that one of us did.

[wisterin]

[ that's a mood, alphi. ]

I am still sorry it has to happen at all even if we all know it had to happen. Now, the cycle starts again.

[sageguidance]

Yes... that it does.

It was inevitable that one were to lose their life, but I am torn wondering why it had to begin with her...

[wisterin]

[ because it's britt and she's a mod character

not that either of them know this... ]

We'll strive to find out why tomorrow. Unless someone has found something today.

[sageguidance]

I cannot say. Surely, there are others out and about who wish to investigate matters for themselves.

[wisterin]

I don't know how universal this is, but at the camp, sometimes, there were select individuals who were able to see some kind of clue while others could not.

For whatever reason, it was only visible to them and not anyone else who looked at where they saw said clue.

[sageguidance]

Hm... Mayhap so that there were not too many eyes on the clues ere the trial proper were to begin. 'Tis an advantage if there were.

You ought to seek others out if you wish to find out. Unfortunately, I can only tell you where we found Flayn.

[wisterin]

It will spread by word of mouth easily. I am already speaking to others and have already heard of one clue.

[ she does not know alphinaud's previous mg experiences because he has told her nothing, so she is only explaining in case he doesn't know.

shinobu is trying her best while trying to not let her anger and grief cloud her. ]

I do not want anyone to feel as if they must run to catch up.

w1; tuesday

[sageguidance]

[ we in the prism! and Alphinaud is at the library, skimming over the spines of books. ]

[wisterin]

[ what a nerd.

shinobu has a collection of books in her arms. they're mostly science. ]

Hello there. Are you looking for anything in particular?

[sageguidance]

—Hm? ... Oh!

[ he looks up, stares at her for a moment, then: ]

Why, I do believe I have found what I've been looking for. 'Tis well we are in a library... for the one I would like to check out is you.

[wisterin]

[ help

shinobu is a bit taken aback. ]

Pardon?

[sageguidance]

... But these novels suffice as well! I thought, since we are now given the opportunity, I might spend my free time doing a little light reading.

What have you there?

[wisterin]

I'm not sure if you meant to be smooth or obvious, but I'll let it go for now.

[ they can't take anything back, but that doesn't mean she can't spend a good time reading. ]

Seeing what the future holds.

[ she holds up a book. it's on modern medicine. ]

[sageguidance]

[ sweats. anyway. ]

Medicine... I see! Are you a medic?

[wisterin]

Of a sort. It's not the main responsibility I do at home, but I have some knowledge.

week 7, saturday

[wisterin]

[ hello, alphinaud, in this lobby area we can't leave. she smiles her greeting. ]

Is this a good enough ending for you, Alphinaud-san?

[sageguidance]

[ howdy ]

Just good enough, yes. But I cannot complain, can I?

[wisterin]

Oh, my, I think there is always room to complain, especially in a place like this.

[ she won't stop him, if he wants to go full nerd about it. ]

[sageguidance]

Oh, certainly. Though if I must speak true, I do not feel that I have it in me to do so. Not quite yet, at any rate.

[wisterin]

Alphinaud-san.... you were killed.

[ she thinks that's reason enough to complain about whatever? ]

[sageguidance]

... I was, yes, but I've exhausted myself enough thinking of it.

[wisterin]

[ well. if shinobu were murdered, she wouldn't care so much. she cares much more other people dying than herself.

but it is better to touch on more positive topics on this last night they'll spend here (hopefully). ]

Then, what will you do next? After we are freed.

[sageguidance]

[ he slips out a wry hah. ]

... Apologize to my sister, first and foremost. After that, I'm afraid we still have work ahead of us to finish.
