[ he wants so badly to say no, but he is in fact aware that he has to work with someone to find the one responsible for breaking tsuru a second time. so while he doesn't look at all happy about it, ookurikara still his sword and straightens to face 45. ]

What.

The doors to the mess hall and kitchen were barricaded last night with the foldable tables and chairs. I know this because Sanji and I spent our hour setting it up before we were put to sleep.

[ yeah. ]

So, whatever was going on with those footprints... if they came from the mess hall, then either whoever did it has a way to disregard any such obstacles, or the camp itself moved things out of the way to facilitate them.

[ ...well, fuck. that's bad. ]

We don't know much about the abilities they've granted us yet. One of them could be something like that, allowing them to get past barriers.

[recrypt]

Like a ghost of some sort?

[ hm. bad. isn't one of the titles... ]

Anyway, he's aware that I'm telling you this, so we don't want for there to be any misunderstandings about me trying to cast the blame off onto him, or something.

[unfriendliest]

Stranger things have happened.

[ kara wouldn't put it past their npcs to do that while still insisting!! it's all for fun!! no murder!! ]

Sanji, you mean?

[recrypt]

Sanji, yes. The chef who keeps shouting for people to not steal the kitchen knives. Has a baby tiger?

[ she watches him for a moment longer before leaning back against some form of support. ]

You... I might have heard wrong, or misremembering something overheard on the bus, but was your group one that had powers allotted you?

[unfriendliest]

Ah. I've seen him around.

[ the question makes him pause, but he nods. ]

Yeah. But it was different than what we were given here.

[recrypt]

Can I ask how?

It might be useful to know what kinds of things to expect. Our group didn't have anything like it.

[unfriendliest]

We were given two types of magic - one element, and one other ability associated with it. Mine were fire, and meteors. They've only given us the one ability this time, but it is like our old ones in that it can only be used once each week.

[recrypt]

... interesting. I know at least one power must have been used this week, and if it really is just once a week, then I suppose it's a good thing they won't have it available for tomorrow.

[unfriendliest]

[ his eyes turn sharp. ]

Was it involved in what happened to Tsuru?

[recrypt]

Not that I can confirm for sure. It might be a distraction; it might be unrelated, just someone picking a very bad time to test a power.

But it didn't involve him at all, as far as I know. You should ask Akira for the details.

[unfriendliest]

Akira... his power, then?

[ kara kind of deflates a little... he was hoping for a lead of some sort. ]

...Well, one ruled out is better than none, anyway.

[recrypt]

It... might not be his power. Someone used something to affect him, but I don't know who.

[ 45 would like to think Akira isn't reckless enough to just be throwing powers at himself, but I, knowing what happened in Subd, just close my eyes. ]

I'm not sure if he does either, but I didn't ask- which is why I suggested you go to him.

[unfriendliest]

[ amazing when two threads give the same info within a minute of each other ]

...Alright. I'll talk to him, when I get the chance.

[recrypt]

[ lmao ]

... Anyway, that's all I had to say. Take care.

[ because she's really actually tired and just going to. take a nap forever, thanks. ]
