FRIDAY, w3 post-investigations;

[recrypt]

[ wow mess hall. five bodies, a lot. love it.

as she makes her way into the mess hall, it's kind of immediately apparent how slowly and stiffly she's moving? hm.

anyway, she makes her way over to ... they better have hot chocolate available because that's what she's making, even if she looks very oddly distracted, like she has half a mind to go back outside right this instant. ]

[vigilantics]

[ there is hot chocolate, yeah



granted, steph is drinking a slushie, which is a terrible winter drink. but when she sees 45 she waves. ]

... you okay?

[recrypt]

Don't sleep in the cabin by the lake in the snow. It's got a most dreadful draft~

[ ah. ]

I'll be fine. The idiot who wanted to spend the night in the forest, and who I only managed to drag into the lakeside cabin instead before curfew hit, on the other hand.

[ warm drinks are something to apply to cases of hypothermia, right. ]

[vigilantics]

[ oh my god ]

Who were you with?

[recrypt]

Minako.

[ why are persona protags. ]

Anyway, she's running a mild case of hypothermia now. Great, isn't it?

[vigilantics]

They're going to yell at you tomorrow.

[recrypt]

I tried. We were too far from any proper residences by the time I realized what she intended.

[vigilantics]

Well... at least it turned out okay.

[ minako getting sick not included, but it's better than her freezing to death ]

[recrypt]

Apologies that I can't exactly overheat on demand when we're knocked out by means unknown overnight.

[ she's rated for performance in this weather, she's done search and rescue in blizzard conditions, come on. ]

Anyway, the path back from the lake has a couple extra snowmen friends as decoration now.

[vigilantics]

I thank you for your snowmen duty.

[recrypt]

Danke, danke.

There's also three 3s painted onto the bottom corners of the directors' doors in blue.

[ continues collecting warm drinks. ]

[vigilantics]

Just... why.

[recrypt]

You're asking the wrong doll for answers.

[ she knows nothing. ]

Speaking of, care to explain what that was yesterday?

[vigilantics]

We broke into a cabin, it was terrible for everyone, but now we can play video games so you're welcome.

[recrypt]

... Nothing important otherwise?

[ glad they're all having a great time on these breakins. ]

[vigilantics]

[ she shakes her head. ]

We didn't learn anything new from it.

[recrypt]

Seems more common than not... I take it you all had a wonderful time bonding, then.

[vigilantics]

[ in the most tired voice ]

We definitely know each other a lot better now.

[recrypt]

Hmm, at least you have that much going for you. Care to offer any details on what the fun theme was this time?

[ did they larp five nights at Freddie's. ]

[vigilantics]

We had to solve a murder.

[ SHE SOUNDS SO FUCKING TIRED ]

[recrypt]

... The way the group that broke into the arts and crafts cabin had to, or...

[ what the hell is this, murderception ]

[vigilantics]

I’m not sure how theirs went. But basically there were hallucinations of people we knew from our old games there, and one of them got murdered. We had to figure out who did it by questioning all of the witnesses.

[recrypt]

Oh, so you weren't just speedrunning a warped amalgamate of your previous games, then.

[ or did they. ]

That sounds ... almost tame, for this place?

[vigilantics]

Yup. It was pretty lowkey.

[ haha ]

We didn’t solve that murder either, so it was pretty accurate to our experience here.

[recrypt]

And here I thought unlocking these places required us to be marginally successful at solving whatever puzzles they put in front of us.

[ but then again, from the sound of things, the mansion-redux fucked up all their trials too? ]
