disingenuous | kashuu catchall

[SHE COMES SO SOON THAT KASHUU'S STILL IN THE COMMUNAL AREA COVERED IN SLIME. It's okay though, there are more important things to deal with. He'll immediately make his way over to her. There's a nasty slimed piece of paper in his hand.]

Roxana! Vin and me-- we went looking around again this week. To the pillow fort, this time. We found stuff in the ceiling...

[He hesitates, then. It's not emotionshare week anymore, but he's already seen how hard it is for Roxana to hope for things. His expression is a little difficult to parse, too; fretful, uncertain, but there's something a little hopeful there.]

[ Well, Roxana is back so soon because I have just found out she is ALSO covered in slime. help us. ]

She has a piece of paper in her hand, too. ]

.... I was in the mountains. What did you find?

[THIS IS SO FUNNY I HATE IT HERE. There's a little blip of recognition on Kashuu's face, but he'll hold his paper out.]

...It might be from Malik.

[By which he means it's definitely from Malik, if the letters are real at all. The paper, which is nasty with slime, reads:

I hope you don't think any less of me because of what happened. I wouldn't blame you if you did. I suppose, in the end, I got what I deserved, didn't I? The world balanced itself out.
Now it's time we start to tip the balance in our favor. Chaos comes from somewhere, but so does order.
May we meet again.
Chinatsu wanted to say hi.]

We found something from Buzen, too. He mentioned you, if you wanna see it.

[He's already getting his phone out to show her the picture, though, unless she for some reason is like I REFUSE TO PERCEIVE.]

It reads like him. This is more confirmation.

[ Scales like metal shimmer across her skin.

She will perceive whatever it says. ]

Let me see it.

[oh yeah speaking of scales, it looks like he's wearing gloves! Except they're just fingertip-to-elbow black scales. Elegant.

He'll hold his phone out for her to read the picture of Buzen's letter, though. It says:

Yasu-san: you don’t need to dream about Aruji looking for me again, because I’m still here. Repaired, just somewhere else. We’re going to find a way back and get out of the Prism. Tell everyone I’m sorry for being a little too quick, and I miss them. We get all your letters. I’ve gone ahead to scout a different area, but we’ll meet again. Stay focused on the mission - we protect everyone, and get out of here. Buzen.
Why won’t it let me write more than two notes tell Hot-san and Ro-san and Meric-san I tried : (]

...Sounds like him, too.

[ She closes her eyes for a brief moment. ]

It does. ... I suppose I can have a little hope.

[ She holds up her own letter:

oherts here. Mama N MOMO Gaohst, rɘwɘmqe, Brɘamɘr.█████████ tf t t r y 1 m g too lɘaf. Omg eye hat3 2day!!!! S0ry r0 rozam NO roxana-son. n1igt be like a qrism? Well kɘɘp try1nq. qlɘace talk to ohtres. m0rɘ iɘttɘrs. - k c h i ]

[WHY DID THIS ONE SHOW UP WEIRD AS HELL. He'll read it over with a furrowed brow...]

Huh... [WHAT IS MAMA N MOMO GAOHST.] Kchi? --Mind if I take a pic?

I think it's from Chinatsu. Go ahead.

[ anyway, roxana might be getting phone notifs right now and is checking her messages.

she closes her eyes. ]

... I think... they had a similar issue last week when we couldn't read.

[He will take a picture! And then immediately just look up toward the sky at that like DEADASS WHY DO THESE THINGS HAPPEN.]

Oh. ...So even though they're somewhere else entirely and we can't get to 'em, they still gotta deal with some of the same stuff?

[RIP to them but also kind of hilarious.]

It seems like it. There is no reprieve even in death.

[ Sucks for them tbh. Roxana doesn't envy this. ]

But at least.... that does mean they're somewhere that's affected by the Prism.

Geez...

[He also does not envy this. Truly there's just no rest or respite in this hell.]

--But yeah, seems like it. Which makes sense, since I don't even think the Dreamer ever got outta here, right? They've just been in an in-between part, or some different part.

If we can believe my letter, the Dreamer may be with the dead. Or is close enough to where they are.

[ She doesn't know if that's a great thing or not, but it is what it is. ]

[A beat as he looks at the letter again.]

...Who's "mama and momo ghost" and "rewenge" supposed to be...

[ There goes another notif on her phone, and she looks at her phone again. ]

Revenge.... seems to be someone like the Dreamer or the Thinker.

[ she's got nothing for the other part because i got nothing. ]

[Just nodding... Mama and momo ghost will remain a mystery.]

So they're all probably in some other place together, or at least close enough that it might as well be. ...Geez. I wonder if there's anything we can do from this side to help 'em over.

I don't know. This might be something we'll have to discuss with a group to see. I don't know how many letters have been sent to whom.

There might be some more information hinting in how.

Yeah... Hopefully they spread out their info since they only get to write two notes each. I'm gonna try to compile as many as I can - I'll text you what I find, 'kay? That way we can get a little bit of a head start before our next meeting.

I've seen the letters Aymeric, Clarte, Hot Pants, Jiuqing, and Clarte have received.

[ So he doesn't have to send her those. ]

I'll try and find what I can, too, and if anyone else has anything blocked off in their letters.

Mm, 'kay. Thanks, Roxana.

[A LITTLE HUFF. ...And then:]

You can use the shower first.

[He hates it here but at least he's used to having to deal with being covered in nasty shit for periods of time thanks to being a War Sword.]

[ whether or not she's used to be covered in nasty shit, she doesn't need to be told twice. she smiles her thanks and then goes to get clean.

see you on the clean side, kashuu. ]
