Is this place actually a torture chamber? Is that what this is?

[ everything looks delicious but they shouldn't have any? this is torture ]

[kumeyuri]

[saber...]

I'm pretty sure no one has had that thought but you.

[rippled]

But that has to be the case... why else would this be built?

[ TO TORTURE SABER SPECIFICALLY... ]

[kumeyuri]

[SABER...]

I think this is probably just based off some kind of fairy tale for children or something like that. That's the impression I get.

[rippled]

How twisted...

[ they reach over to grab a cookie and munch on it. ]

[kumeyuri]

[watches as saber really continues to eat from this place anyway. they can't be stopped.]

[rippled]

[ it really was just an automatic movement without them even thinking about it. ]

This truly is a ploy against me...

[kumeyuri]

... I really hope your stomach's strong to deal with the stuff you're putting in it.

[rippled]

Everything about me is very strong.

[ they pat their tummy. ]

[kumeyuri]

And yet you left Anders to eat the days old corndog.

[joking.]

[rippled]

I would never eat potentially valuable evidence!

[ lmao ]

[kumeyuri]

Uh-huh.

[a pause]

By the way, have you heard about the dreams people have been having? Well, saying it like that implies more than a few, but still.

[rippled]

Hm, no...

[ well yves tells saber about his but that happens icly after this thread. ]

What are they like?

[kumeyuri]

[me also realizing that i screwed up my timelines so uruha doesn't know about yves's yet so i don't know why he brought this up now icly but anyway]

Jiaoqiu-san had a dream a few weeks ago—he noted it as odd because he rarely dreams, let alone vividly. But it was about the lost souls, looking alive and well with their chao and complaining about how their phones didn't get reception.

Then Jing Yuan-san smiled and waved at Jiaoqiu-san, if I recall correctly? Then he woke up.

[ MODS DON'T WORRY ABOUT THIS MODS ]

I see... I know there are items that do give people dreams, so I am not sure if maybe this is that?

[kumeyuri]

Are there items like that? [blinks] Guess it could be one of those, although it's kind of a weirdly specific dream to give Jiaoqiu-san if they wanted to cheer him up or something.

[rippled]

There are, yes. I have one. [ a pause. ] I have not used it yet though.

But I have no idea if that is what this is or not though. Just that it may be someone trying to be nice.

[kumeyuri]

You guys are really just finding items everywhere, huh...

[a hum]

Yeah. It's just the part where the lost souls were specifically talking about how they can't get in touch with us that seems weird. If that was meant to comfort him, it seems a little cruel to just give him false hope instead.

[rippled]

Well, I didn't say it was a good attempt at it.

[ they can understand the logic even if it's a bit misplaced. ]

I can always try to use mine and we can see if it's anything similar.

[kumeyuri]

Might as well, if you can't think of any better use for it...

[rippled]

Well, if I got attacked I thought it might be a good way to send some sort of hint. But I have to physically write the dream out, so I am not sure how much time I would have if I'm in the process of being murdered...

[kumeyuri]

... Yeah, unless you're a speedy writer, I feel like that would effort better spent just trying to strike back at or outrun your assailant...

[rippled]

[ they sigh. ]

Yeah... ah, well. I will let you know how it goes if I try to experiment.

[kumeyuri]

Thanks. [peace sign.] I haven't gotten anything besides that scroll I found with Marcoh, so I don't really know how these items work.

[rippled]

Oh... I got that the same way those people got those trial items, I think. This is just infinitely less helpful.
