[He doesn't know if she'll tell him, but he's curious. He hands the two of them the paper so one of them can take it for them to read. He slips behind them both where they meet, draping one arm over Cloud and one over Lup.
So he can like look between their heads at the letter.] What do you think?
Do you know what I miss the most about the other side? The joy of everyone's company. Seeing you all gathered together warms my heart.
But I would propose that you could make these parties more enjoyable by adding an activity of sorts. On this side, we intend to do something quite exciting and thrilling -- if I may offer a suggestion, the doors are exhilarating, aren't they?
There is the possibility that having an activity is distracting, as someone might be drawn to the more entertaining activity and ignore the rest, but I believe it will be gratifying all the same.
Yuri got something really similar to this, actually.
[she says, settling against jason carefully.]
Emet-Selch's said there remain no birds in the sky, as much as he'd like to see them, and the atmosphere is the same, if quieter. [a pause.] He was dating someone named Vax'ildan in his game. As an aside.
Mikazuki got one mentioning the doors too, but it implied we'd need to go through one of them to unlock one of those locked ones. Like you did for the penthouse.
[ he also settles against Jason ]
We can keep an eye on doors, but I think it might just a heads up a little late.
[He frowns a bit at Lup.] So they're not...? [There??? He's not sure what to assume, but he really doesn't like assuming that. BAD?
He rests the side of his head against Lup's so he can glance at Cloud.]
I thought so too. I had to go through one of the shitty doors in the hallway to get inside the penthouse. [For Lup.] It was a pain in the ass. But maybe we keep the doors in mind. We thought the cemetery was the connection, and maybe it is, but... what if it's the doors? That let us go through the hotel in different ways.
I don't know, that's just my interpretation. But that's what it seemed like it was saying.
[she does not seem to mind jason resting his head against hers.]
It might be a little late, but it's good information to have anyway? If you got into the penthouse that way, you're right - you might be able to get different places through the doors. Stuff buried in the cemetery manages to make it back to the lobby, too. Maybe we should try with something else to see if that's a coincidence.
You said you went through a portal at the end of that door. I think they might have managed to leave one of those open for us?
[ he's guessing. he has no idea. ]
We can keep an eye on it, but all Tsurumaru and Mikazuki got going through one was injuries same as usual. So I'd rather not encourage people to go through 'em for no reason.
[He looks thoughtful and hums in his throat. Hmmm.]
Don't really think it's a great idea to go in them either. I never found anything when I did, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to use it as an option if we have nothing else. Wonder why no one has stuck a body in one...?
We'd never get anything done... [a beat.] Oh - Harrow got a cipher, too, from Hope? But it got censored, so there's no way we're going to figure it out.
The rest of the letter was just like, sorry, I probably can't use the code again from before. I got a letter from him too but I don't know if it had anything useful in it. He just told me not to burn out.
[ jason just. reading that. okay. this might as well happen. ]
... Well, we know Virgo was hanging around down there for a bit. There was someone new answering letters that seemed nice and polite, and Estelle was worried it might have been Orion. [ original flavors for both. ] If there's been more than one and it was a bad idea...? Might be those two. They seemed the worst of the bunch.
[Stop. He's a Bat... let him be smart one (1) time.]
If Emet-Selch really was hinting at not seeing... the person he'd be looking for, then maybe it meant one from over here went over there, and doing it was a bad idea?
Maybe Virgo had to go for the cannibal situation, or because they were messing around with stuff. I don't know.
Wouldn't say he had anything to apologize for anymore than she did anyway. [ there's a pause, like he's thinking of something, and he adds incredibly awkwardly; ] ...Babe.
That would be why I said he doesn't have to apologize.
[she says, first, and then the babe registers, and she blinks at him. there is the tiniest of grins on her face. god, she desperately wants to make fun of this, but she can't or he'll never do it again...]
Babe. [she says in return, after a moment, biting her lip.]
[ IGNORING THE REACTIONS LIKE HIM SAYING BABE IS TOTALLY NORMAL ]
Just talk to Harrow [ there's another pause like he's thinking so hard about this and he kind of finishes with a very weak: ...honey? [ QUICKLY MOVES ON; ] I doubt she's holding a grudge, and if she is she'll be glad for the info.

Nothing that stood out to me, either. Just Hope saying thanks for sharing information out loud when we could.

No.

[a pause.] You should tell Harrow you decoded her secret message.

I… don’t know about all that. Didn’t exactly have a great conversation last.

[she says, ear flicking.] You don't have to apologize, but the two of you can't not talk. We have to work together.
