week 6, monday

[unsaid]

[the invitees will be getting a typewriter message]

Dear trusted friends,

Shall we meet in this old man's garden today? Do bring some treats for the koi, if you would.

Yours,
Mikazuki Munechika

[at which point mikazuki will be found in the village, in the garden! if you didn't know how to get here, sorry. he didn't give directions. he's also currently wearing his old lune robe, which is long and black and has the hood up with a moon embroidered on the side of it

that said it's still obviously jiji because he's sipping tea and laughing]

Very good, very good. Let us begin.

[unsaid]

On this day, I have invited a new face. It would be most suitable if we are able to ensure that information is shared, no? If there are more you would like to invite, you may simply say the word and we can discuss it.

[that said, he will begin again with his list. he will pull out a few letters from his sleeve, and count off on his fingers as he enumerates them]

First, some confirmations from the departed. Two to three tickets are necessary in order to receive their healing, and three will be enough to heal an entire group that has gone an excursion. They have received the tickets sent, and everything small enough to fit into an envelope.

Second, they are located in a mansion that includes a 'garage' as well as a graveyard that is identical to that belonging on this side. They do not yet know how larger items might be sent to us, but have suggested perhaps burying them in a coffin or some equal venture to have them sent. It is unclear if that will work exactly, but it is worth trying.

Third, I have received a letter that says they are 'delighted to make my acquaintance', which evokes a memory of a letter suggesting that there are more individuals here than the staff and guests. It would appear that that includes more than our dear cannibal from the closet, as this letter written was very pleasant indeed. Unfortunately I could not make out the name of the signee. Perhaps if you write to them and address them as 'additional departed occupant' or some such, they will be able to receive your letter.

Fourth, a letter from Kazunari Miyoshi suggested that there are more flowers that he would have liked to send to me, but they are censored out. It is odd - I cannot imagine what great importance this would hold.

Fifth, the departed themselves are also making a list of transactions in terms of tickets being sent to them, however it is worth noting indeed that there appears to be a delay in the letters sent. I do not know if their tally will make it to us by trial time.

[he looks upon his hand, and laughs faintly]

I do believe that shall be all from me today.

[because swords can only count up to five,]

[preowned]

[ this is all neat and all but ]

Did you go looking for your old outfit?

[technocool]

[ i have the memory of a koi and this emotional whiplash from jiji in his old robes probably is tripping up taba so oops if this is old info ]

Kazu said in his latest letter tha one of the people in the graveyard was there before any of them, not including our mysterious cannibal. But said vore also gone now so here's hoping that's a done problem.

[wisterin]

If I wanted to request your presence for a private conversation, what would I have to do?

[ since he's in his npc outfit and everything. ]

I received a letter that confirmed that the note about there being more occupants than staff and guests referred to where the dead are.

This morning, something new and unusual was next to me on my bed when I woke.

[ she holds up a YOU TRIED sticker. ]

I have no idea what this may mean.

week 6, tuesday

[unsaid]

[it's just grouptext time because jiji wants everyone to have a copy of this]

Dear trusted friends,

It would appear that those departed were able to fix whatever it was the cannibal broke that impeded them from sending flowers. Today, I am pleased to say that I have received a new bouquet.

Monkshead: Danger is Near, A Deadly Foe is Near, Beware, Chivalry
Blue Violet: Youthful Innocence, Watchfulness, Hope, Calming, Love, I'll Always Be True, Watchful & Faithful Always
Anemone: Sincerity, Symbol of Love; sometimes Abandonment
Freesia: Innocence, Trust, Thoughtfulness
Deep Pink Rose: Thankfulness, Gratitude

Shall we discuss? Should you hear of any other such delivery, I would be pleased to know.

Yours,
Mikazuki Munechika

[ hewwo. a little bit after cloud and jason did their meeting, they will all receive a message from tsuru. ]

please come to the courtyard!

[ anyway, once they are there, tsuru waves. his clothes are somewhat burnt and he is bleeding but he waves. ]

Can one of you look me over so I do not get scapegoated in trial? Anyway, I received a letter. I am not quite sure why, but it basically implied that the next time we [ he makes a vague gesture. what does this mean. he clearly does not want to say it out loud. ] someone should go into the doors.

[unsaid]

[his lune robes are just. tucked over his arm. they're clearly burnt. help

like he is also burnt and currently bleeding.]

It is where we went off to this afternoon. [during the meeting,] Ha ha ha.

[technocool]

[ REFRESHES AND SCREAMS AT THE BOTH OF THEM
guess who tippy tappys in pure agitation!!!!!!! because hello?? hello!!!! HER GRANDPA(s) ]

What did you two do!? [ show her the damage so she can fight someone if they try anything. ]

[wisterin]

[ ....

she sighs and waves him (them?) over. ]

Please let me see. Even if you did not find anything worthwhile, you made an attempt.

It's still good to know for the future.

[unsaid]

[the way i set my audience with cetus so that he could show up bloody and burnt as rule of funny but it also means i can just recycle this post and not make a new meeting

but at some point after getting checked over, jiji will lift his hotel keychain. it has two lights now]

In addition, I now possess Research and Preparation, if you would all like to be witness to my usage of it.

[skyagain]

[ oh. sits here to witness it while i go shower ]

[technocool]

[ plops herself down to observe ig. show me a trick!!! ]

[preowned]

[ drinks tea that i just decided he has here ]

[wisterin]

[ she applauds.

she will witness him. ]

week 6, thursday

[wisterin]

[ it takes a little while, but shinobu regains her composure enough to send everyone a message pre-curfew. ]

Please meet me in Security.

[ how did she get here with a fractured leg? don't worry about it. i'm not thinking about it.

when they all gather, she will play a tape. it's dated for monday. when it's finished playing and she speaks, she sounds fine, albeit a little too serious, grumpy and blunt. ]

Their hurting will be mended, when you return to end it. Your hurting will be mended, when they return to end it.

Those were the two messages that bookended the excursion.

[technocool]

[ she's just gonna sit here with her face in her hands bc lbr, this is a lot for her to take in even on a good day ]

[wisterin]

[ it's fine. take your time, futaba. you are in this hotel, so it's information you should know, too. ]

[preowned]

[ he fuckin piggybacked her. who knows. ]

... well, at least they don't seem to think it's a lost cause.

[wisterin]

[ he's allowed. carry her everywhere this weekend, tsuru (no). ]

... Dare we hope?

[skyagain]

[ at least she is not crying anymore... ]

... I don't know about that tape, but that message seems to imply us trying is the right track. But.

[ should they trust

cyoas ]

[wisterin]

... It was a lot about choices that we had to make.

[ ... ]

It fit, in a way, with the story they talk about in the tape. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not.

[unsaid]

[ . . . hm.

mikazuki listens closely and then:]

So that is the tale.

In our excursion, it concluded as in the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice. Aikawa and I.... We were met with our hostages, and had to proceed onward, trusting that they followed - even when we could no longer hear them.

[wisterin]

Does that mean they're connected?

[ ... ]

That it is something to trust?

w7, monday

[technocool]

[ after all the excitement that already occurred, and everyone has probably retreated to their rooms... ping! comes a message ]

@ everyone: late night meeting.
got a update about floor man. meet me in front of you know where

[ given the late hour futaba will just throw the important parts of the letter at everyone inside a door. yay speed run. ]

if you see that daruma again, do not touch it. leave it where it is, or keep it separate from the body.

do not reunite them. do not destroy it unless you're certain you can destroy what's contained within it. whoever luo binghe is, whatever threat that estelle would warn us of, the part of him that's in that doll was put there for a reason, and unleashing it is against our best interests.
