[ Why does she not let people realize she cares? Hm. A mystery. One that isn't going to be touched on if no one comments on it, so talking shop it is. The dragon crashes through the barrier and she smooths her expression. ]
... Spontaneously, or was there a spark?
[ Did they... short something out by accident. ]
No one else was there, I assume, but did it look recently used?
Without having seen it myself I can't say what might or might not have happened... "Magic" is an answer I dislike relying on unless there's no other explanation. It's possible that the entire setup was rigged somehow to self-destruct if the power was ever cut or interrupted, just to make sure no one could bring anything out of the building, but that's just speculation. I apologize I cannot do more to clarify what occurred.
[ or it could have been not-deliberately but still poorly rigged electrical wiring. malice or incompetence? the eternal question. ]
But our voyeur is a messy sort, hm? Does it seem they left in a hurry? And... That dizziness, is that inclusive of our Directors, actually?
[ because leaving a piece of paper seems... careless. she won't reach for it immediately because she's polite, but it's definitely got her curiosity piqued. ]
You don't have to be sorry for something that was my fault.
[ Well, partly her fault. It's not the whole picture of what happened, but she can accept responsibility for helping to cause the cabin to erupt in flame. ]
I do think it is because it wasn't supposed to be brought out of whatever setup it was in. There wasn't any sign of a hasty exit or anything of the sort, and I don't know yet if the dizziness includes the Directors. Tomioka-san was going to see what they knew.
[ ........... Ara is this what I oocly think this is
but she stares at the paper for as long as she can, hoping it'll rearrange itself into making some sort of sense before sighing and closing her eyes. ]
That's... rather abstract, but I suppose the general sentiment it's supposed to convey is clear.
[ there is a lot of bad in a vaguely swirly circle shape. and not enough good. ]
Should I ask him myself for anything that he may be able to glean from them, then, or would that be overstepping my bounds?
[ mauyn i don't know what you think it is because i oocly have no fucking clue. that is directly what we were linked. ]
I would certainly like to know what exactly it's deeming bad or good and in what context. Please feel free to talk to him yourself, but I apologize if talking to him is like pulling teeth. He needs to talk to more people.
[ hhhhhhh then i won't say anything but i am going to cry at mods. also how bad is the disorientation/how long does it last. ]
Likewise. I suppose we'll have to wait for him to report... Or bother him into talking to people. Failing that, figure out what structure, or entity, or... anything, really, that image is supposed to represent.
[ Really wish they had a lot more lighter things to talk about tbh. ]
Not necessarily like a child's. Anyone can leave things like empty bottles lying around.
[ Some adults behave like children. ]
You might be better to pinpoint if it were a child or not by the diet. [ Does Shinobu know 45 is a robot? No. The UMP45 was made after her time. ] I have no frame of reference. There were... snack foods, if what others have said is enough to go by. There were canned drinks in the refrigerator.

The fire started after I tried to remove the computer.

But I do think so.

[ She doesn't know modern technology, 45. Help a girl out. ]
Yes, it looked recently used. There were no cobwebs or anything of the sort, but it did need to be cleaned. There were things left around.
[ She holds out a piece of paper but doesn't hand it over yet. ]
Anyone who looks at this has gotten dizzy or had their vision blur form looking at it too long.
[ By mod decree. ]

Where exactly in the cabin was this located?
no subject
Date: 2020-06-23 06:56 pm (UTC)[ Shinobu didn’t know at the time of this pc, but she knows the answer to the question now, haha. ]
When you first entered the cabin, there was a table in the middle of the room that had scattered doodles and drawing supplies on it.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-23 07:42 pm (UTC)[ not that there is much of the sort to speak of, regarding their time here, but. ]
... scattered doodles and drawing supplies... like a child's?

[ some adults absolutely behave like children. ]
Hmm. Pardon me a moment, but...
[ she's going to rummage through her bag for a second, after which she pulls out-
board game scoreboards and a pencil. ]
If it wouldn't be too much of a problem, could you illustrate the rough layout of the space you were in? Were there any oddities about it?
[ was it too heckin big for the building it was in, etc etc. ]
