[Well. You’re all in some kind of. State. A rather chagrined voice mutters on the wind;]

That isn’t quite how I envisioned it going…

[At any rate! There are new stars in the sky in ginger goldenrod, thyme apple and senna terracotta.

Well how are you all doing?]

I don't know, I think it's a penalty??

[desirestruth]

A what.

[SHE'S GONNA YEET A FUCKING VAMPIRE.]

[bowtiedbones]

There were some incorrect guesses.

[desirestruth]

Guesse--Eliza, I wasn't at the trial. What happened?

[bowtiedbones]

[sticks her face under Naeva's shirt collar, making herself very small. can't see anybody can't see me.]

We played with our own teams. We picked from a list of traits to describe ourselves. We got a set of items and tried to figure out which matched which of the other teams.

[desirestruth]

...And incorrect guesses did...something like this?

[She's alarmed--deeply so--for Senna. For Licorice. She knows Lucien wasn't at this game for...reasons.]

Not good.

[bowtiedbones]

I don't know. This didn't happen until the game ended. It— was fine until then? It was normal?

[desirestruth]

I'm gonna end up dunking another one of these jackasses in the ocean.

[THAT'S ALL SHE HAS TO SAY ABOUT THAT.]

Do you want me to take you somewhere safer, or...?

[bowtiedbones]

Thyme has a doggie door, so if you can just get me onto the train I'll be fine from there.

[desirestruth]

Thyme has a--[THAT IS ADORABLE?

But she will start to head to the train, and pause.]

I propped Senna's door open so Estelle could go in and out, if you think that's closer.

[bowtiedbones]

Um... I don't want to say she isn't a good girl, but don't jackals eat lizards?

[desirestruth]

Really? I never thought they tasted any good.

[Well.]

Thyme it is, then.

[bowtiedbones]

I think I'm from a different region too, but... Thanks.

[desirestruth]

I'm not sure the regions would match anyway.

[DOOT DOOT DOOT headed to Thyme!]

Was anyone else from your team with you?

[bowtiedbones]

Cat was.



[in a small voice, only audible for being curled up right next to Naeva's ear]

The rest of our team is gone.

[desirestruth]

[...She is quiet, for a very long time.]

There's only three people on Senna.

[A much longer pause--and she changes directions?]

C'mon. There's somewhere in Senna Estelle isn't allowed into.

[bowtiedbones]

[lifts her head, tiny tiny tongue flicks]

Oh— okay.

[desirestruth]

You don't want to be alone right now, right? As soon as I find Kashuu and Elaine, I'll send them back.

[Taking Eliza...INTO THE SECRET LOUNGE. They haven't bought books or fish yet but it's pretty fucking comfy in here, dang.]

[bowtiedbones]

[!!! INCREASED TONGUE FLICKS]

Has this always been back here?
