[ business time. she pulls out a notebook and pen. ]
First, I would like to request a lantern of sorts. [ a flashlight ] There's a room I'd like to delve further into, but it's quite dark.
Secondly— [ and now she'll nudge the thermos she brought forward, which has a small amount of despair gatorade ] I collected this from the room with all the pods, and I was wondering if you knew anything about it. I also wonder if you might help me make sense of what I encountered there.
[ okay she will just drink despair kool-aid later ]
I intend to look into the room with fixtures made of crystal. [ the ??? room, which is Dark ] It left me uneasy when I stayed there last week—as did the room with the pods. Had I had a light then, it may have allowed me to see something that has otherwise eluded me. The room went dark as I was investigating it.
If you kept the items you were provided upon arrival, there should be a light there... though I suppose I might also warn you now that you will find nothing of interest to you within that room, even should you delve deeper.
[ wow motherfuck i forgot about the blacklight, anyway it's game canon now that vira probably didn't dig through the bag after she accidentally touched a boob ball
she raises a brow ]
Ah, I'll have to check for it—though do you know what that room is at all?
I'm afraid they don't appear to be anything sensical to me. [ gbf tech is better than most ye oldes but this is still a lot. ] How are there... spare bodies?
There are processes by which multiple new bodies may be created, using material from an original body, with each being identical to the source. Several of you have been quite concerned about this.
Ah, yes... I considered if perhaps we could only see those bodies which are our own. But at one point, I also saw them all vanish, as though they were never there at all.
[ so what are they, really? ]
Sometimes it's difficult to discern reality from illusion here.
I encountered something in the room with the pods. When the bodies vanished—it felt distinctly as though I was being watched.
Then, again—the night that Tamaki was murdered. No one attests to being in the room with me, but it seemed as though someone was there, holding the skull we found as evidence that weekend. This may have been an illusion, but given that I found bone fragments... it seemed real to me.
Both these instances were accompanied by the same noises. [ the skittering sound. ] In one case, I even thought I... felt it pass by me.
[ she sits up straight, frowning. ]
I had considered, perhaps, that it was the work of another person here. Or something that came into existence, influenced by our presence. But even still, I wonder if we aren't alone.
If you find further reason for concern, then yes. Given that it was the first week, it is also possible that some things had not fully settled, and that the recalibration done has resolved the problem.

[what are your questions beyond the juice, vira.]
I would also ask where you intend to delve, that you need a light.

I have some idea, yes.
[they do not elaborate.]
no subject
An idea you won't tell me at this juncture, I presume.
[ she frowns, but not in a way that it seems she's surprised. ]
Then, can you tell me what I may have encountered in the room with the pods?
no subject
[sorry that they're like this.]
As for the pods, they are more or less what they appear to be.

no subject
[they sound negative amounts of concerned.]
no subject
It is unsettling to see—particularly since we don't know what these—our bodies are here for.

[ she looks down at their tea setting, pensive. ]
A related question—do you know if there's something else living here besides us and you all?

[they wave a clawed hand, idly, not quite lazily.]
Personally, I do not believe it requires close examination now, particularly if there has been no recurrence.
no subject
[ still, she doesn't look satisfied with the answer. ]
If it does reoccur, I hope you might delve into it with me then.
[ especially if it means another death. ]

What is this... recalibration you speak of? Is it sort of tuning of the system that reacts to our indulgences?
[ it sounds like something about this place had answered someone's desire to murder, for example. ]
no subject
[but they take a moment to consider, before answering.]
But I suppose that may be close enough, yes.
no subject
[ it's fine. ]
Is there anything else you might tell me about this system? Are the irregularities and 'illusions' we see some sort of malfunction?
