[meanwhile, despite the weather, Akira is filling up like his tenth cup of slushie juice. why, Akira]

. . . 45?

Are you okay?

[recrypt]

[ why indeed. it looks like she's going for the extra insulated cups and thermoses too. multiple ones. why is she getting so many. ]

Hm...? Oh. Unless you happen to be pouring some antifreeze into your cup there, there's nothing you can do about it. So focus on anything that's more important instead, all right?

[survivaltricks]

[. . . . . .]

Did you sleep outside last night?

[slurps his slushie]

[recrypt]

Minako wanted to go into the forest. It was all I could do to get the both of us into the cabin by the lake instead before curfew.

[ ... ]

This isn't the effect, by the way. So now she has what I'm fairly certain is a very real case of mild hypothermia.

[ hence

why the warm beverages, maybe ]

What about you.

[survivaltricks]

. . . it's the snowman thing, isn't it?

[lifts a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, sighing. he spoke to Minako earlier so he is aware of that case of hypothermia and he is trying very hard in another thread to make sure she gets warmed up]

I stayed in the mess hall with Dick, Steph, Ash, Yin Yu, and Flayn. Sanji and Yasusada were in the kitchen, but we were able to see them and I'm pretty sure they got the same effect as us.

[MORE SLUSHIE SLURPING]

[recrypt]

Yup.

[ popping the p. ]

I can defrost myself with enough time and effort, considering I've worked in subzero blizzard conditions before. Her, on the other hand. [ why are humans. ] But anyway, the two in the kitchen should have the same effect as you, yes. Sanji and I spent the night in the mess hall and kitchen respectively that first week, and we shared an effect then as well.

[ ... ]

Let me guess. No matter how much you intake, you don't feel satisfied?

[survivaltricks]

[just]

[gives her a dead-eyed stare]

[and slurps the slushie again]

[recrypt]

[ cool. great.

she's just going to down one of those hot chocolates she's gathering right now herself.

we're doing amazing, gang. ]

[survivaltricks]

[WE SURE ARE]

For the record, it isn't just slushies. It's any drink with sugar in it.

And only drinks, too.

[recrypt]

Don't go crashing on all of us right when trial starts. It's inconvenient enough when a doll does it, but at least we usually can be rebooted in short order.

Speaking of ... thought you'd want to know, but someone spraypainted the number 3 on the bottom left corners of the directors' doors. In blue.

[ this is tiring. ]

[survivaltricks]

[wh]

The number-- just the number three?

[recrypt]

Just the number, on all three doors.

What that means I couldn't even begin to tell you.

[ someone is having fun with colors, maybe. ]

[survivaltricks]

[HA HA. . . HA]

You saw the banner that was hung up on the bulletin board earlier this week, right?

[ 3 / 3 = 1 ]

[recrypt]

Yes.

I'm still deciding what I think of it.

[ other than that the author has no sense of color. ]

[survivaltricks]

Yeeeeeah, I've got nothing.

[ABSOLUTELY NOTHING]

[recrypt]

Hmmmm.

[ it's a long, drawn out sound.

... eventually, she'll rummage through her bag, pull out something that was wrapped in- something- and end up tossing it over to him.

it's one of those water tubey things with glitter in them. it looks like this. catch, akira. ]

[survivaltricks]

[hello??? he has no depth perception?? he tries to catch but it bounces off his wrist and onto the gorund]

[???]

Huh?

. . . what's this?

[bending down to pick it up]

[recrypt]

Supposedly, it'll answer one question. You squeeze it, and the glitter will spell out an answer. I'd think hard about what kind of question it is you want answered, whether or not it won't be something you learn the answer to in a day or two anyway, and word it specifically even then, but.

[ ... ]

And yes, I know what this means. You can use it in front of other people for all I care, maybe that way you won't have to explain how or why you know something. Just so long as you don't go telling people who it came from.

[survivaltricks]

[he looks]

[completely and utterly floored by this gift, mouth falling open as his gaze snaps up to her, one eye blinking rapidly]

This is-- [. . .] You're just. . . giving it to me?

[. . .]

[it's pink, so does that mean this is. . .]

[recrypt]

People generally like you more, and you're known to be a busybody anyway. It's only sound logic.

[ what

she can't hear you

her ears have frozen ]

[survivaltricks]

[HAVE THEY]

[but. . . for now, his grip tightens around the squishy toy slightly, before he nods]

. . . okay.

I'll make sure I don't waste the question, then. [. . .] Can I ask what the bracelet did?

[recrypt]

... Fifteen minutes' nullification of negative effects or curses, just once.

I said it was harmless, not useless.

[ haha, ]

[survivaltricks]

[I NOTICED THAT!! AKIRA DID NOT]

Hah.

. . . your secret is safe with me. I promise.

[recrypt]

Haha. It better.

[ IMAGINE, ITEMS YOU CAN'T USE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL EITHER WITCHHUNT OR YOU'LL GET YOUR ARM BEAT OFF BY A BASEBALL BAT ]

[survivaltricks]

[THAT'S JUST THE KIND OF PLACE THIS CAMP IS, AND YOU KNOW WHAT?? IT SUCKS!!!]

Think it'll tell me who our killers are if I ask nicely>

[would it be that helpful???]
