weekend 0, saturday, gate area

[damp]

[ Hi Maya! Rin is seated in the gate area... Staring into the void outside. Processing.

He'll smile weakly when he sees her. ]

It's nice to stretch our legs a little, at least.

[feytality]

[ she bounces over with a big grin herself ]

And get some real food!

[ he can probably smell a bit of that delicious steak smell on her ]

[damp]

[ Smiling a little more genuinely. ]

Seems like you got to sample it already.

[feytality]

This totally makes up for yesterday! I love a good steak, I've got a separate stomach just for steak.

[damp]

I really like steak too. [ hehe ] Where'd you get it from?

[feytality]

Wanna go grab some with me?

I went to a restaurant called Congratulations.

[damp]

You already want more? [ He shouldn't be surprised. ] But okay, I think that'd be nice.

[feytality]

This baby can fit so much steak in it.

[ pats her lil tum tum ]

Shall we?

[damp]

[ Laughs a little and then follows her. ]

Let's go. [ They go! ] This place is nice, but I hope we get rooms or something too.

[feytality]

We will in a few days, once team stuff gets sorted out, according to them.

[ hops off to the steak restaurant excitedly, yay food ]

[damp]

[ Eep ]

It's a little nerve wracking to have teams assigned to us instead of picking ourselves.

[feytality]

You got to pick last time...?

[damp]

Yeah. It was still stressful when you didn't know most people there, but I still preferred it.

[feytality]

They did say the team stuff is separate from murder stuff....

[ if that eases his mind at all ]

[damp]

I guess. I'm don't know if I believe it...

Or that I expect the "auditors" to be upfront about the rules.

[feytality]

[ damp and squirt in my inbox one right after another.... smh ]

Mmmhmm. But our hosts are, so I think they'll tell us whatever gets passed onto them.

[damp]

[ hehe ]

But they don't know everything either.

[feytality]

Right, but... I feel better knowing that they're on our side, and that they're not brainwashed.

[ long story ]

We just have to get through this, right?

[damp]

That's what they're saying, anyway.

[ Maybe one of them is secretly planning to blow them all up. ]

But... yeah. At least we're not going in as blind as the first time around.

[feytality]

Well, if it helps, it'd be pretty obvious if they were brainwashed.

[ blowing up a game who would do that.... ]

Right. And you have friends from your murder bonanza you can count on, right?

[ don't call it a murder bonanza.... ]

[damp]

Yeah... I do.

[ Looking at her. ]

What was it like at the school? Do you have to earn school credits to escape?

[feytality]

So you can get through this, no problem!

Nah, we had to literally fight the story. It got kinda meta.... but I'm used to that. [ if she?? ] When there weren't murders happening, it wasn't so bad. We could take classes, but the classes were all sorts of things. Not real classes, stuff like.... writing fanfiction, or making paper airplanes. Things like that.

[damp]

You had to fight the story...?

[ Blinks rapidly. ]

How did you do that?

[feytality]

Well, we started off by rebelling against our roles... then we ended up using a plot hole... then, we started writing it and gaining back control over it, finishing it. Which is what it wanted.. to be finished.

And some people manifested it into a person so they could... take revenge.

[ she seems pretty put out about that last bit ]

[damp]

[ He doesn't really know how to visualize this so he's just imagining them fighting a book. ]

How'd you realize you were in a story in the first place?
