week 4, tuesday

[preowned]

[ anyway. when tsuru has presumably kidnapped jiji before he could go reunite with his one true love, jason todd ]

So, a few things. The first is that those flowers are indeed from the dead. They have tried to send us letters, but they haven't gone through-- Virgo didn't deliver them. Either they can't yet, or they can't at all.

Second, I'm the one who wrote the note about not robbing the dead. It turns out they actually need the tickets where they are. It's some kind of mansion... but apparently they end up on dangerous things there too. Robbing their corpses meant that we left them dangerously injured with no way to heal.

Third, I found out who the person who was here before the rest of us is. Okita Souji. I spoke to him on the phone yesterday. He seems nice!

[unsaid]

[i see.

mikazuki's expression twitches for a moment as he processes all this, before it evens back out]

.... very well, very well. I had thought it a gift from our mutual friend from the village as neither Rupert nor Cloud Strife received anything yesterday, but it appears as though this is truly the form of communication they can manage. I shall leave new flowers upon their gravestones to let them know it has been received.

But I shall do my best to support you, my love. [bringing tsuru's hand up to jiji's mouth for a kissy]

And Okita Souji is a rather good individual. [thinks about how jiji apparently appears as a cat in bakuten rerun to let souji go to kondou-san] So I cannot say I find that surprising... but we ought retrieve him just as swiftly.

[preowned]

[ kissy ]

Okita Souji was one of the people asleep at the camp. I do wonder what happened there, though... he didn't even remember anything. I asked him if he was the first person here, he said he wasn't sure, but since he was the only person there who hadn't gotten to the hotel at the same time as the rest of us, it has to be him.

[ hm... ]

... I will say that he did not sound confident that we will be able to revive them. That said, they are still trying to get information over there. Hopefully we can communicate with them again or they figure out the letters.

[unsaid]

[a tilt of his head]

I suppose we are but halfway through elapsed in our time here.... and so some of the most pressing information will be left until now. Regardless, I believe in their efforts.

Does dear Virgo know that you are aware of this?

[preowned]

I will find out everything I can from them. I should also add that our dear host is aware of these roles, although they are not always listening in.

[ a pause ]

We should really find out if anyone else received flowers. I got some as well.

[unsaid]

Aware... Is this also some matter of providing entertainment? [jeeze,]

Would you mind telling me which flowers you received? At present, those that we were sharing information with have not received any, nor have Bradley Bain, Rupert, or Cloud. Admittedly they are not particular people I would expect to understand flower language...

Perhaps I might inquire with Estelle.

[preowned]

Oh. Hold on.

[ i did not set a location so they are conveniently in tsuru's room now. but he will wave him over to a corner where he tucked the flowers to-- agrimony, basil flowers, bells of ireland, and chamomile flowers. ]

[1/2]

[unsaid]

[sure,]

Agrimony for gratitude. Basil flowers for good wishes and good luck. Bells of ireland additional good luck and gratitude. Chamomile for energy in overcoming adversity.

Lovely, lovely.

[unsaid]

[wait]

They certainly sent me a far more treacherous arrangement.

[preowned]

Ha ha ha!

Yeah. Mine seem nice.

[unsaid]

[he just laughs as well, his fingers slipping to the back of tsuru's neck to guide him closer for a kiss]

Well, you are working very hard.

[preowned]

Well, I would be at more of a loss without help.

[ trying to figure out how to spread info is fucking hard ]

[unsaid]

Oh, I am sure you could manage regardless. You are quite resourceful after all.

[tsuru did so well in the subd graveyard in terms of just yeeting out info. mikazuki will nonetheless press more kisses to both of his cheeks, affectionate. what a week]

But would you rather I not mention your flowers? Given their meaning. Or perhaps you could suggest that you received a bouquet identical to mine.

[preowned]

It's difficult... if people assume they are meant for everyone, that would be better, but if they assume it was only directed to me...

[ hm... ]

[unsaid]

[he nods....]

But it would be odd if only I received flowers thus far...

[a thoughtful hum]

Well, I suppose I can only mention the flower meaning of 'Thoughts of the Departed' moving forward.

Shall we pretend that you did not receive any then? If any are invited to your room and ask of your bouquet, you may just say that I prepared it for you.

[preowned]

... hm. I can mention mine. Maybe I won't mention every flower, so it feels less... grateful...

[ and in that case less weird [

[unsaid]

[help]

Ha ha ha, very well. I have not been naming each flower either, but the most pertinent meanings.

[because dana can't remember all the flowers]

[preowned]

As long as people believe it's a message intended for all of us, it should be fine.

[unsaid]

[he nods at that]

Then let us continue to share our flowers. I might suggest that others begin to read up on the art as well.

Splendid, splendid....

[jiji just

likes flowers]

[preowned]

Also, we really are going to have to make sure everyone takes the no robbing the dead thing seriously.

[unsaid]

[he nods]

Let us spread the word early this week so that opposition is slim come this weekend.

[preowned]

If they don't have a more direct way to speak to us by next week, we can also try to think of more questions to ask them if I can call again...

[unsaid]

[a tilt of his head]

Mm... That would be helpful. Did it appear as one of your typical phone call options?

[preowned]

There was a new line.

Apparently, something changed-- but I believe it was the dead's doing. Okita Souji said they were working on fixing a phone on their side.

[unsaid]

[nodding]

Was there only a limited time you could speak to them? I am glad that you could use your words...

[thinks about charades]
