I left the camp with an item that would allow me to visit the people I had met there, yes.

[...]

Were you sent home with something similar?

[shaft]

No. Though some of us were allowed to create their own world.

[fishingforcompliments]

[oh...]

I am sorry... it must have been difficult to part ways with the friends you made there.

[she's pretty sure claude made friends? he's a friendly guy, from what she remembers of her time at garreg mach.]

[shaft]

Oh, sorry. That was misleading— there was no object, but we have access to a train to visit each other.

Though honestly I wasn't expecting anything.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh! That is much better, then.

[shaft]

Yeah, it's not that ba—

[ He glances at the portraits again, going suddenly silent. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[


oh. that god bad.]

...do not look at them. It will only serve to cause you pain.

[shaft]

[ His jaw clenches, glancing away and looking toward her. ]

What's the point of this?

[fishingforcompliments]

Cruelty for cruelty's sake, perhaps. Is that not the way of these places?

[she is so tired of murdergames.




also *that got bad GOD I CANNOT TYPE]

[shaft]

You're probably right.

I think it might also be a warning. Of who else might end up like this.

[fishingforcompliments]

[that


puts a spark of fury into her expression]

If anyone so much as thinks about involving any of them in this sort of thing, I shall tear them apart myself.

[shaft]

[ oh damn ]

... I don't doubt you will. I've found these places place more and more on our shoulders hoping we'll buckle, but I've only ever seen people succeed.

Mostly out of spite.

[fishingforcompliments]

...do you believe that will be the case here, then?

[shaft]

I think so. I'm feeling pretty spiteful.

And I know the others from the school are relentlessly determined.

[fishingforcompliments]

If everyone here is equally determined, whether that determination comes from spite or something else... I think things will turn out alright.

[shaft]

Here's hoping.

[ Anyway, he whips out a dagger and tears up a portrait. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[honestly claude is so valid



flayn is watching him to see if HOOLIGAN appears on his forehead. it does not.]

[shaft]

[ because he's valid ]

That felt pretty good.

[fishingforcompliments]

It would be nice if we could do that to other parts of the hotel.

[shaft]

We can't?

[fishingforcompliments]

The walls do not break as easily as the portraits.

[it is spoken in a very matter of fact way that implies she has tried.]
