[ they do not reply right away. thinking... ]

Are the other three okay?

[fried]

They are. Basilio and Wis'adel are resting, and I haven't seen to Koharu yet, but so many people ushered her away that I can't imagine she's doing poorly either.

[rippled]

That's good. I don't even know what all of their injuries are.

[fried]

No? Were the four of you separated?

[rippled]

At times. I started out with Basilio, and then I was on my own, and then we were together as a group.

[fried]

Mm. What happened, if you don't mind my asking? The most I've gathered is the four of you have had memory problems.

[rippled]

We were looking for some kind of item. I assume it was the case for all of us, I don't know for sure, but I didn't have any memory of who I was. I just knew I needed to find it.

We went through a few trials to reach it, but then the item turned out to be a person that we were told to kill. [ ... ] Well, the person was set free, and then we arrived back here.

[fried]

[ ah, ]

I see. [ he figures there were probably consequences for that last choice there, but he doesn't pick at it just yet. ] I wonder if this was someone's life, as well.

[rippled]

It feels a little rude to ask and find out.

[fried]

Doesn't it? [ slightly amused. ] Until someone tells your life story to you with no previous knowledge, and then it's simply awkward.

Not to say what you've gone through today was my experience, to be clear.

[rippled]

I don't know who this could have been.

[ and giving out too many specifics seems not polite, considering. ]

We all made it back in one piece, more or less. So that's what matters.

[fried]

Mm.

[ a sigh. ]

You are all alive... I will do my best to keep you that way. I only wish there was some way to prevent these trips from happening in the first place.

[rippled]

Tying us all up to the wall.

[ this is clearly a joke, but it would be funny if it worked. ]

[fried]

[ okay but he does laugh at this ]

Ah, yes. Maybe I'll tape all of you to the wall to avoid any trolleys passing through.

[rippled]

[ it takes several seconds too long, but, ]

Oh. Yes, the trolley...

[fried]

Haha, sorry. Sometimes my jokes don't land the way they should.

[rippled]

... no, it was fine. It's just a little...

[ brain. fuzzy. ]

[fried]

You're having trouble with your head as well, I see. [ hum.... ] Will you allow me to make you some food? I have an idea on how to help clear that fog.

[rippled]

[ i can't believe saber lived through a cyoa to just go and die from spice right after ]

... sure.
