W0, Deathday Friday

[divineimpulse]

Are you safe?

[shaft]

Apparently. And you? Were you in your dorm last night?

[divineimpulse]

We didn't have a choice.

Did you hear anything?

[shaft]

Yeah, a yell and a thump. Sounded like it was coming from the third floor.

Did you see anything?

[divineimpulse]

Nothing. We tried.

Catra shredded our door with her claws and it didn't open.

[shaft]

Sounds about right. I threw a table at one of the windows and it didn't so much as leave a dent.

But I haven't heard of any attacks inside the dorms. I wonder if there was something outside that we weren't meant to see.

[divineimpulse]

I haven't found anything so far.

[she's investigating!]

It can't be a coincidence that we all heard something.

[shaft]

You're right. It could be some kind of trick or...

[ Remembering something Maya said: ] A clue.

[divineimpulse]

[...]

I'll let you know what I find.

[shaft]

[ what? ]

What do you mean? Where are you?

[divineimpulse]

[there's a loooooong pause while corpse-turned-sieg stuff happens before she messages back.]

I'll explain in a moment.

[shaft]

Teach?

[divineimpulse]

I'm fine.

We found Sieghart unconscious in the river.

[shaft]

Sieghart? I was with him last night. Was he hurt?

[divineimpulse]

Not gravely.

It seems to be mostly scratches, like small bites from something.

[shaft]

Bites? [ did he bite sieghart in his sleep... ]

... Don't tell me they're goose bites.

[divineimpulse]

[this is why femblems need their own room, they bite]

If they are, that's not all. There's two types of bitemark.

[shaft]

Did he get into a fight...? What did he say?

[divineimpulse]

He said he didn't remember leaving the dormitory.

We're trying to figure out the bites.

[...

it's a stupid question that she already knows the answer to, but,]

Have you heard from Dimitri?

[shaft]

No.

You haven't either?

[ great ]

[divineimpulse]

No.

[...

she types something, then backspaces, and retypes.]

Will you help me locate him?

[shaft]

Yeah. Divide and conquer? Where do you want to look?

[divineimpulse]

He's not at his usual spot.

[what do you mean his usual spot]

He won't be indoors. Somewhere outside.

If you check around the buildings, I'll check the forests.

[shaft]

Not that I doubt you, but is that safe?

[ aren't the forests like haunted or something ]

[divineimpulse]

All the more reason to look there.

[full of rats]
