Catch-All: Escha

[i'll figure out something to put here eventually]

[applechemist]

[ Yeah that... Is an unfortunate reminder of the stuff the voice has said... Escha pauses for a long moment, glancing over to the sticky notes on the wall. ]

... I guess... Because they expect the number to go down.

[airshipped]

[He follows her gaze and frowns.]

... We made it two days without losing anybody. I wish that voice wasn't so distorted. We could've learned more about what happened here. [And with that knowledge avoided whatever ended with them all dying.]

[applechemist]

I'm sure we'll learn more. We just have to do our best to get into those locked rooms and stay focused!

And whatever mistakes we hear about from any new recordings... We can't repeat them! [ That was something the voice had said, today, after all. Find his mistakes and don't repeat them. ]

[airshipped]

It's a matter of learning everything in time. It's too bad the voice over didn't say how long they were in this place for.

[Because it's possible that they just won't.]

[applechemist]

... Not today. But the one that Junpei heard before said that it had been four weeks.

In four weeks, they went from 33 people down to 12. [ And that's the part that matters. ]

[airshipped]

They lost more than half of the group in a month?

I don't think that's natural.

[applechemist]

This place isn't just... Weird. It's dangerous, too.

[airshipped]

It sounds that way. That means we have to do whatever we can to minimize the dangers.

[ok but how]

[applechemist]

I wonder what sort of precautions we can take, besides just staying together?

[airshipped]

Maybe learn more about each other? There was something that pretended it was one of us. Just because whatever it is has our physical information doesn't mean it'll know everything about us.

[applechemist]

We should definitely learn about each other...

But Junpei thinks that there might be some kind of memory loss or... Possibly time travel. That they might not have been pretending.

[airshipped]

Memory loss or time travel? [Its very strange to take all of this seriously. But it is what it is, and he has to.] Like... they're the future versions of us?

[applechemist]

[ Escha has a hard time wrapping her head around it too, but given everything weird about this place she can't completely rule it out. Sometimes... You just have to accept... That maybe a wizard did it. ]

Or past versions. After all, you're... [ From the past. ]

[airshipped]

[There is at least one wizard in this place. Sometimes... magic is the only answer.]

Right. Since we're from... different times. It's not impossible that those... doubles? Are also us.

[applechemist]

It's only one theory, but it's something to keep in mind.

[ She nods to the sticky note with the full list of theories. ]

[airshipped]

There's nothing we can rule out at this point, but maybe we'll learn more as we go along.

[He'll go look at the full list.]

[applechemist]

[ Here's the fuckin... google doc of their sticky note wall. SO FAR. I'm so mad I was tricked into having a brain cell. Kill me. ]

Junpei and Nightwing said the same thing, though. That we should do our best to get to know everyone, and to observe them.

[ He fucking introduced himself as Nightwing and she knows his name is Dick from the profiles but she respects whatever he says! SO!!! Nightwing it is I guess!!! ]

[airshipped]

[Plead to the rest of the game because Logy can't do it.

It's okay, one day she'll probably die. Maybe. We hope.]

Huh? Who's Nightwing?

[applechemist]

[ Coward!!!!!!

And fuck by that logic she probably also would go with Richard as 2nd. This is the worst. They share a bed and she does not know what to call him!! ]

Oh - I mean Richard. He said his name was Nightwing when we met... I guess it's a nickname?

[airshipped]

[Richard, man of many names.]

Oh, alright. I'll keep that in mind the next time we talk.

I wonder where he got it from.

[applechemist]

I don't know. But when he introduced himself he was wearing a strange outfit and said that he's a "Super Hero."

[ Whatever that means. She knows the words independently, but...? ]

[airshipped]

I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.

[what's a comics]

[applechemist]

I think it means he does something similar to us, actually. He said he gets people out of trouble.

[ And that's kind of like when they have to go survey areas that are having problems, or craft a lot of provisions and stuff?? ]

[airshipped]

[this is a wild interpretation of superhero, but also it sure makes sense to him.]

Maybe he does most of his work at night?

[applechemist]

That would explain why he doesn't sleep enough!
