WEEK 6

[lockdownmods]

[Week six comes like an ominous wave. If anything, the wall is more threatening that it's ever been. That sign from last week? Looks aged-- like it's far more than just a week old. But more than that, it feels like something is waiting to snap this week. What could possibly go wrong, after last week?

Said no one ever, at this point.

But still, if you look around this week, you might find out something. It's like someone has started leaving clues in places old and new. Take a look around.]

[Oh... the frail kind, huh. But either way, he definitely understands what it's like to not want to turn to the Admins for anything. After a pause, he answers:]

...Makes sense. Not like they've given a reason for anyone to trust 'em.

[Hm.]

But anyways, if that's the case, I've got bandages and everything too. Take whatever you want.

[buriedearth]

...Poly?

[ Nevermind, he just moves on.

He's listening to what Shirou's saying...picking up one of the lectures printed out. ]

It's been dark for five years? As in...nobody lives there anymore or do you think it just means something else?

[ ... ]

Besides that, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this H guy?

[buriedearth]

[ Hm, that's... interesting. ]

Can't be located? Did he say anymore about that or was that all?

[lovedanime]

Ah... This is so generous of you...!

[He's taking out his tablet and taking a couple notes—]

We don't have to get them right away, I can visit your room later after all...

By the way, what's your own reason for coming here?

[throwabookatit]

I don't...believe so. [ She's flipping through the notebook more, frowning. ] I talked to him about this when I couldn't take detailed notes. The senses week. So I...

[ She thinks for a few moments then shakes her head. ] That's all. He mentioned it offhand, in conjunction with how they were pulling in people from other worlds to have a wider chance of finding more people with an immunity.

[lovedanime]

[gives terra a glance... hopefully these ideas don't stress him out too much]

I think "darkness" most often refers to so little infrastructure for electricity that there's not light pollution at night anymore.

H meanwhile... if I recall correctly, an authority figure, giving notes to other members of the administration?

[devotingly]

Connor had told me some things about Hale when he talked to me privately. Although I'm guessing a lot of it is already known by you guys.

[buriedearth]

I understand.

[ In that he's been able to find some good things about the people he's met here--so there are times where he's been glad as well. It's slightly different but... he gets that, at least. ]

...I'd like to think it would've been--if we hadn't met in a situation like this or had to have been put through what we had...

[ ... ]

But it's something I wondered about a lot, which wouldn't change anything. So, there's really no point in spending any more time dwelling on it.

[swordsinternally]

In military lingo, going dark usually means that they cut off communication with the rest of the world. Probably due to the epidemic spread.

Also, since I did say I was gonna teachー a poly relationship is basically one where you're dating or having sex with two other people or more.

[buriedearth]

[ Hopefully that'll change, but who knows? ]

Yeah. I'm also hoping that it'd be either a nice room or one of them would be where we'd be able to find more information about this place.

[unhalting]

[Wow don't you call him out on his everything okay depends, is Terra going to playact it

Even with the frustration and despair of the past few weeks (and honestly, beyond that as well), at least moving around would busy him a little. Orga's never been the type to run away from his problems, but for now... he needs to clear his head before he thinks about next steps.

He nods and starts taking off his blazer and shirt, but while he does that:]

So, there any kind of prize for the winner?

[unhalting]

[He seems a little taken aback by Mitarai's gratitude??]

It isn't a big deal. [He totally just looted them from the Nurse's office to begin with, after all.] But yeah, come by whenever you want.

[As for his question--]

Didn't really have a reason, to be honest. Just thought I'd look around, but I don't have a clue what to start with in this place.

[devotingly]

It'd be worse if it was something boring. But it's not like this is too hard either.

[ he sighs, playing almost mechanically. he's definitely been playing this for a while. ]

I got to about level 30 a while earlier, actually. It only gets more difficult because the game gradually speeds up, but the maze stays the same. So all you need to do is keep up, I guess.

[unhalting]

["Maybe" is still better than "no fuckin way" so he'll take what he can get. Besides, Akira looks like he knows what he's doing, nothing could go wrong.]

Oh yeah? So what's it supposed to be? [Impress him with your chemistry knowledge...!]

[buriedearth]

[ ... Now that makes sense. It's still concerning, but not in the way he thought it might've been. ]

Thanks for explaining that to me.

[ At least he knows what light pollution is. ]

Well, I've found out that apparently this guy apparently knows a lot about what Han's been doing here, and that he has his eye on him. So, that's something to keep in mind.

[devotingly]

Agh-!! Why did you have to do that!?

[ if waver was a cat, then he definitely would have jumped to the ceiling in surprise.

angrily, he turns, arms crossed ]

Why would you even want to give us a check up anyways?

[reshoot]

[Max looks over and smiles. Ah, Ryota Mitarai. So sweet, so pure.]

Hey, Ryota.

Yeah. Video games should be an escape.

[buriedearth]

[ That also makes sense--with both explanations he's able to put it together, and then part of that's not something he was expecting to hear at all.

Well, he did ask. Even so, he's a little embarrassed. ]

Oh. Well, uh...thanks for the lesson.

[ The more you know. ]

[whatsmytalentagain]

Yep. Quite a few of us happen to be from there right?

[He hates this too.]

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Tap, tap. Rantaro's trying to ask ya something.]

You think they might have something to do with the hacker from last night?

[lovedanime]

[DETERMINED]

This is a terrible loss, but we have our spirit! We have to believe there's a way for them to rebuild!

[lockdownmods]

H...E...W...I...L...L...B...R...T

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Rantaro clearly approves of this determination. Can't you tell by the nods?]

[swordsinternally]

You're welcome.

[ He honestly, earnestly sincerely means that. ]

[swordsinternally]

Well, none of the other chapters talked about anything on this scale of erasure for the other countries, at least.
