[ well, this is happening. hope's expression mirrors claude's for a moment before a more cautious one replaces it. ]
...Yeah. Keep your eyes open for anything that looks even the smallest bit off. [ he takes a couple of steps further into the room, then casts a glance over his shoulder. ] I probably don't need to tell you to stay on your guard.

[ raises an eyebrow at "the board game"... ]
You've already explored one of these rooms?

Who knows, indeed.
[ he starts to walk towards a wall to try and inspect it, but it's then that his vision begins to dim. he stumbles a little, lightly bumping into claude as he takes a step back. ]
Ah—sorry, I just... got a little dizzy for a second. I think I'll be okay, though.

[ RUDE? it's true that hope is tougher than he was when he was a kid, but damb, a punch is a punch. he recoils and holds a hand up to his cheek, now red, with a look of bewilderment on his face. ]
Have you lost control of your body?

Nothing that would be lasting damage, though we may need to account for this on Saturday.
[ a beat passes as he frowns, hard. ]
Ugh, I'm already assuming the worst is going to happen...

Interesting. For all the similarities these games may have, I shouldn't be surprised they aren't completely uniform.
Where were you thinking?

Yeah, you don't have to—
[ he's cut off before he can say anything else, because for hope, it all goes at once. his sight and his hearing go out, and he is surrounded by a void. if claude retains his senses, he'll watch hope flail around in desperation, trying in vain to find anything to ground him in this all-encompassing nothingness. he can't hear himself yell, can't hear his voice start to break. ]
Claude? Claude! I don't—Light? [ yea surprise i'm playing misa who gained shapeshifting powers in a psl i did with her i'm sorry you had to learn this way! jk im just fuckin with you, it's very clear hope is not referring to mr yagami; there's genuine, deep-seated panic in his voice as he tries to reach out, to fight his way out of the darkness. ] Please, don't do anything to her. Lightning, I'm sorry—

I have no objections with that.
Should I be expecting anyone else to join us?

[ he's going to ignore the first line. ]
I personally don't have anyone in mind...
[ there's a pause before the text on his end continues: ]
Lup, Harrowhark, and Mollymauk will be staying together. I've informed them of our plans, as well.

I haven't had the chance to speak with Mollymauk yet.
Like Dimitri, he isn't the same one we know, right?
