week 0, monday, ? room 12

[shaft]

[ So... here they are.

He stares at the pasta in front of him. ]

Feeling hungry, Sir Alphinaud?

[sageguidance]

[ He is staring at the snake. ]

—Hm? [ Oh, right. ] I, ah... suppose it would be rude to turn down the invitation.

[shaft]

[ ??? ]

You all right there?

[sageguidance]

[ In a whisper: ]

Should we be concerned about... them?

[shaft]

You mean the snake?

[sageguidance]

[ A nod, as he gives a sidelong glance to said snake just chowing down. ]

[shaft]

Do you have a weapon?

[sageguidance]

... Only if an eating utensil counts.

[shaft]

I suppose I could kill it for you.

[ the snake hisses at them to eat ]

week 1, monday, prism / petting zoo

[shaft]

[ Claude is here! With his wyvern, who is eyeing the lambs like she thinks they'd make a fine snack. ]

I've never seen animals like this...

[sageguidance]

[ Aww, dragon friend. ]

They are... more colorful than normal—unless this is supposed to be normal...?

[shaft]

Maybe in this world?

[ his wyvern is going for a chicken

she's going for it ]

[sageguidance]

[ OH ]

—Wait!!

[ the chicken!!! ]

[shaft]

[ claude does not seem bothered

the chicken furiously flees ]

It's just nature, Alphinaud.

[sageguidance]

That...

[ He can't deny, exactly. ]

... W- well, I suppose there is none around to be bothered by it. Still...

[shaft]

You're rather squeamish, hm?

[ there is loud squawking ]

w6; wednesday

[sageguidance]

[ Hewwo, Claude. While you're checking out the car in the garage, a silver carbuncle suddenly leaps up upon the hood, sniffing curiously at him. ]

[shaft]

[ oh! ]

Hello there. [ a friend! he'll let the carbuncle sniff. ] Curious about this machine?

[sageguidance]

[ The carbuncle only squeaks in response, for it cannot speak. A voice does come from behind Claude, though. ]

Mayhap more so you. Investigating a little?

[shaft]

Just a little.

[ it's so cute!! ]

I heard this car came in handy when dealing with the cannibal?

[sageguidance]

[ ... ]

Yes. They ran him over with it.

[shaft]

That's a pretty inspired way of dealing with someone...

[sageguidance]

Quite—I confess I would have not thought of it myself, but I suppose it is not unheard of for those who have such vehicles in their daily lives. And we could not have afforded to be any less than thorough.

[shaft]

[ he sighs ]

Have you been alright otherwise, Alphinaud?

[sageguidance]

—Me? Well, ghost problem aside, I can scarce complain. Honestly, I should be the one to ask you that.
