[voice] IS ♞ EVEN ON THE NETWORK'S CHARACTER MAP VII: we are at jascon 5

[beknightedheroine]

Hey guys.

Betting it's a Jason month this time.

Mostly 'cuz I woke up with a note pinned to my hand with a scalpel.

So if you were planning on anything that isn't the tower being more awful, sorry, you're gonna have to put that on hold.

That's pretty much all I got to say. Peace.

Probably. I mean... I'm not usually the strategist but I can help. Maybe I can get Chidori to help with it too, because of what her Persona can do.

[He's being careful of what he's saying about that in public... never know who's gonna be listening. :T]

[verismo]

Sayaka.

What happened.

[It's a little bit too late for that.]

[boxingemperor]

I guess you guys weren't joking. If that's true, they don't seem worried about preserving out lives at all. That or they don't know how to.

[beknightedheroine]

_{[Sayaka knows well enough how unsafe information on the network is. She'd flash a cheeky smile, but they're just talking over voice right now.]}

Whatever works. It's his move right now, but we'll be ready this time.

[miseris_socios]

Yeah. We'll make it through.

[beknightedheroine]

_{[Deep breath, Sayaka. You can explain things in a sane manner, right?]}

Okay, okay, I can explain this one!

Me and Rox and Ven thought, huh, might as well put some actual questions in the suggestion box, you know, see if we get anything, but it's sometimes different which one of them answers the box, so we didn't know who'd do it, and really this was just kinda bad luck--

_{[Looks like that's a no, she can't.]}

[miseris_socios]

... Why would be joke about that in a place like this?

[Seriously, Akihiko.]

voice;

[beknightedheroine]

Fine and dandy. I've had..

_{[Okay, Yu knows very well she's been through worse from this guy, and Sayaka revises what she's saying mid-sentence.]}

I've had worse mornings, if you'd believe it!

[voice]

[beknightedheroine]

..Damn. At least you're not both still bleeding or anything.

...

What'd your note say? D'you think he might've given us different answers?

_{[It's a weird question, but she's used to asking this sort of thing now, to try and ferret out whatever little information she can.]}

[starofpleiades]

Ehhhhh? So a really mean person will be in charge?

And he pinned a note to you?

[beknightedheroine]

I dunno. It uh, did get the job done.

Anyway, there's more to worry about now than me having a little scratch. We got a good game plan together last time things went sour. Now we're going to need a better one.

[voice] --> [text]

[forceless]

Nah. I'm no medic, but I know that much. [You can tell there's a smile in his voice; ever the optimist!]

It said... Ah, here--

[And then he switched to text, to type out the contents of the note.]

1. A side effect of bringing all of you here, as well as occasional native creatures.
2. Statistics.
3. Some information gathering works better under more stressful circumstances.
4. I'm afraid I'm the the one answering these this month.

I've stopped hoping for more then a one week break from this place being awful. [He crosses his arms.] Thank you for the heads up, though.

[A pause]

I don't think we have met yet, my name is Kidou Yuuto.

[voice]

[beknightedheroine]

<sub>[She scans the message as soon as Ven's sent it, first just skimming it to see if it's all different - and then giving it a close glare, to see if there's little, important differences.

There's nothing. It's the exact same as the paper she'd found, though the J was a little smudged by blood on her version.]</sub>

That's what mine said, word to word. Tch. Typical.

[verismo]

So your question was answered by a scalpel being stabbed into your hands?

[Oh.

He's not mad.

Just.

Sayaka why.]

/don't mind another threadjack...

[pitiedthefool]

Yeah. [...] Mostly because they can just bring us back in a day's time without revival magic.

[beknightedheroine]

He did, but I'll heal, and I didn't even feel most of it! I'm a heavy sleeper, so...

_{[..Ah shoot, Cross is most definitely freaking out. Gotta be, uh, a little less with the jaded-tower-vet.]}

...uh, I mean. I am mad. But I'm saving up the real mad for later.

<3

[boxingemperor]

These are the same people who fought the monsters?

[They can't all be bad, can they?]

voice;

[pitiedthefool]

I don't have to believe in order to know.

[...Yeah, don't mind him mentally flipping every goddamn table in this tower.]

Still, I'm glad to hear you're alright.

[beknightedheroine]

That's, kind of a thing he does. Jason does. <sub>With the scalpeling.

[in an abstract way sayaka can just see herself right now, with a shovel, digging a hole with every word.]</sub>

[pitiedthefool]

Yeah. ...They can have their moments.

[He'll acknowledge that much, but he remembers well the week Lucifer was kicking him in the spleen... literally.]

[back to voice!!]

[forceless]

We did ask the questions together, so he probably didn't bother to write separate notes.

[Siiiigh.]

voice

[keeps_count]

A scalpel? Pinned into your hand?!

[Displeased elf is very displeased.]

[boxingemperor]

It doesn't make sense. But I'll still keep my guard up.

[boxingemperor]

They saved us from that...thing! These are the same people?
