You think it's one of those things were... if you came to them at the right time, they'd mention them? Since other groups had a schedule for these sorts of things, apparently.

[ the realm sort of had a schedule but it was at random and horrible just to make sure you guys suffered ]

[unrecked]

[STOP]

Probably? I don't think any of us could remember much about the contract, but they kept saying we'd signed it when we'd ask questions. So naturally, we'd be curious to see it. They were likely banking on that.

[skyagain]

Yeah. Probably. Makes you wonder if there's anything else they're banking on us asking.

[unrecked]

...Probably. Didn't you tell me they wouldn't give out hints for free? That just means we have to be annoying by questioning them about literally everything.

[He sighs.]

Maybe they won't be so vague now.

[skyagain]

I wouldn't count on it. My luck's been too shitty in this place to hope for that much. [ and then sunday it gets worse. it's fine. ] But we've got no choice but to keep annoying them until we get results. Not like we've got any other clue right now.

[ a beat ]

I'm not counting that hangman.

[unrecked]

Hey, I don't know if I would call coming back to life shitty. [Thinks about himself waking up in a coffin. Looks at Cloud.] Actually, nevermind. I can vouch it's shitty.

Now we match. Twinning.

[(cloud voice) joy]

If the staff don't know anything about it, maybe we have to see if the rest of it turns up somewhere.

[skyagain]

... I'd say at least I didn't have to wake up in a grave, but you're "twinning" others on that one. Maybe you're the bad luck.

[ but he's clearly joking. also anna. go to bed. ]

If the rest of it turns up anywhere, it'll be on another one of those deadly excursions next week. So let's hope some of the staff knows.

[unrecked]

[STOP I WENT AFTER THAT ONE]

Hey. [He does not sound riled up.] Don’t blame me.

[Blame him, he has middle child syndrome.]

Let’s hope, but I’m the pessimist here, so I’m going to say that we’ll probably get more answers going on some kind of adventure.

[skyagain]

... From what I know, it's a one time only deal, so try not to be the one caught in the next one.

[ he says it knowing very well Jason has no say in the matter ]

[unrecked]

[Does this mean Cloud cares................. tch. Jason absolutely has no say over this at all which is very funny for both of them actually.]

Sure. I'll try not to mysterious get swept away to a second murder hotel, as if the first one isn't annoying enough.

[skyagain]

[ it was part a real sentiment and part this; ]

You're the one who keeps blaming me for getting swept up and then murdered. I'm just warning you. You get stuck in one, I'm never letting you hear the end of it.

[unrecked]

Sheesh. I thought you, of all people, would be the one who would actually cut me a break.

[JASON KEEPS GETTING BULLIED.]

Just make sure at least one person has a first aid kit if about four of us come stumbling back out.

[skyagain]

Of all people?

[ he shouldn't sound so mildly amused. ]

I was thinking of buying one myself. Haven't done much first aid, but I owe Estelle and Shinobu both.

[ and Sylvain but he's ignoring that one until later ]

[unrecked]

[HE DOES NOT ANSWER THE FIRST PART. Or comment on it.]

I considered it before I bought the dice. But I wasn't sure if they'd run out. I guess it wouldn't matter if I had one hoarded, but...

[TSUNDERE SHRUG.]

[skyagain]

You bought those?

[ Jason mentioned it in trial but please don't expect him to remember anything from that. ]

What do they do, anyway?

[unrecked]

Yeah. I wanted to know what the hell they were. We couldn't buy shit at the island either. I'm learning all kinds of surprises.

[Ah yes, the first generations of murdergames.]

I give 'em a roll, and they let parry a simple attack.

[skyagain]

We didn't have any kind of shopping in the Realm, either. [ don't worry jason you are not alone in your first generation of murdergames! i'm ignoring that i added shopping to reapsody. redacted is different. ] Mm... Not the worst, but kind of expensive for a luck based parry.

[unrecked]

[THE REAPSODY SHOPPING]

I'm shocked. [Everyone here has been so "MEH, YEAH" about things being the same, he can't believe there's a few of them without stuff. Or, like, the station. No roles.] Yeah. Had to take the chance to see what it did, though.

Molly, Harrow, and Lup pooled tickets. They got the rabbit's foot.

[skyagain]

Would've considered the same if I had the tickets.

[ he's poor!!! ]

Yeah, I think I heard them say something about that. [ pooling tickets, he means. ] Estelle was thinking of doing the same to know what it did. They end up telling you?

[unrecked]

Smart girl.

[But way too nice, Jason thinks. Way too sweet.]

Lup did. She'll probably tell you if you bat your baby blues at her nicely. You even have a leg up. She likes you.

[skyagain]

[ cloud agrees but is immediately distracted ]

Baby blues? [ muttered in offense. jason also has blue eyes? shut up? ] Don't tell me you guys are still fighting.

[unrecked]

[Yeah. Maybe the blue eyes is how he found out...]

What? Fighting? [He sounds offended.] We weren't ever fighting.

[He

looks away when he says this though.]

[skyagain]

Am I supposed to believe that...?

[ judging. but also. amused ]

[unrecked]

Yeah. She lectured me, I guess.

[He looks sidelong at Cloud.]

Why, did she say we were fighting?

[skyagain]

Might have called you a stubborn piece of shit at least once. [ he raises his empty glass so that jason forever wonders if he was quoting or making fun of him ] Mostly she admitted she lectured you. I can put two and two together.
