[ktiseos]

This is no time for poor jokes.

[shaft]

[ laughter is the best medicine, emet... ]

Okay. Then do you mind running over where it was you went today?

[ktiseos]

...a hole, apparently.

[shaft]

Yeah, I got that much from Dimitri.

I'll cut to the chase: did you get any information about this place?

[ktiseos]

No. There was a paper with the hotel's emblem, but it was--

[a huff.]

Nothing of use.

[shaft]

How do you know?

[ktiseos]

It was simply- some sort of game, I think, scribbled onto it.

[he doesn't have a pen and there are none in here though, help.]

[shaft]

Can you describe it?

[ktiseos]

...I shall see if it may be properly reproduced, later.

[shaft]

[ sighs ]

That's it?

[ktiseos]

That was all we returned with, save for--

[...he makes a face, before pulling out three things. one is a polaroid photo of emet-selch scrabbling at the edge of a pit in a dank, dim, rainy place, as a makeshift bridge falls away beneath him. the second thing is a little YOU TRIED star sticker. the third is a cd in a paper sleeve labeled DREAM☆KINOKO.]

[shaft]

... Okay.

[ What the heck. ]

Could you provide a little more context as to what happened?

[ktiseos]

I do not know how much the context will help. Very little of that place made sense-- I obtained a video at one point of a man turning a city into a mushroom.

[just so claude knows that is what we are working with here.]

We were separated for much of it, as well.

[shaft]

[ ... He just sighs. ]

Okay, yeah, that doesn't make much sense.

[ktiseos]

Much of it did not.

[with another huff of a breath, he mutters:]

At least Dimitri and I are no longer linked, either. Presumably.

[shaft]

[ ??? ]

Linked?

[ktiseos]

We were-- bound, by some manner of ceremony.

[shaft]

... Married?

[ ??? ]

[unrecked]

You all come back with that?

[He nods at the CD with his chin.]

[ktiseos]

It is something originating from that place-- I had obtained a copy before we left.

[unrecked]

I saw Yoo had one. Is it a souvenir, or are you supposed to do something with it?

[ktiseos]

I am uncertain. I've not yet attempted to play it.

[is there even a cd player in the hotel]

[unrecked]

[cd player doko]

Guess you could ask the staff later.

[ktiseos]

I may do so. There simply was not time.

[unrecked]

Yeah, I get it.

How's your arm looking?
