[ She doesn't know he's Mr. Cloak and Shadow? She just knows he's Mr. Ninja Cat. ]

Good.

[ ... ]

I have a coupon for a communication item. What does that mean?

[ SHE DOESN'T KNOW THE SCOPE. PHONES ARE NEW TO HER? All she knows is snail mail. HELP ME, ANNA. ]

[darksubverted]

[I'M LOSING IT. Post-apocalyptic Nier world, please get some fucking phones. Luke looks wryly amused, not because she doesn't know, but because of her getting that kind of coupon.]

It's for whatever your imagination can think of that falls under communication. It's you and someone, or something else, communicating.

[overshaded]

[ She's thinking, maybe thinking harder than the her simple braincell can process. ]

Is it a one time communication? Can it still work when we're locked in our dorms?

[ When their phones don't work? ]

[darksubverted]

[ARA, BE NICE TO HER.]

You can keep on you until you decide to use it, but once you do, it's one time. It lasts for about an hour.

You can use it in your dorms if you want. What are you going to say? "I'm locked in"? "Me, too"?

[ Her battle strategies 75% of the time are hit it until it dies. Then, she's really battle smart the other 25% of the time.

Can't believe Luke really wants to be Nier's little brother. He's inheriting the gene of saying something that makes Kainé want to hit you. ]

Shut up. Do you know why the phones don't work when we're shut in?

[darksubverted]

[LOOK, he does need to be punched one real good time, but also, he's just saying.]

No. I thought it was a coincidence at first. Maybe the service went out. But now... [Anyway,] I don't know why.

[overshaded]

[ Next week, Kainé will punch him if he's Nier adjacent in all the right ways (or all the wrong ways?).

She sighs. ]

There are too many goddamn mysteries at this school.

[darksubverted]

[I can't even say BE NICE because he should get punched.]

I've never seen as many problems as I have this year.

[overshaded]

Are we just special?

[ Special in all the worst ways. ]

[darksubverted]

[He frowns a bit.]

The Dorm Wars is something new, but... none of this was ever meant to be a part of the Dorm Wars at all.

[overshaded]

So we are just that special. Great!

[ She frowns a bit, too. ]

I guess we're all gonna be in it for however the fuck long.

[darksubverted]

A year.

[It sounds like he's trying to will himself to believe this.]

When you graduate, you're finished.

[overshaded]

[ Yeah, she's not sure they'll be let go even after their supposed graduation date. Where is the guarantee when everything else wasn't according to plan? ]

You can hope.

[darksubverted]

I believe that.

[Why would anything be different?! (looks away from everything currently happening)]

If not, I'll make it happen.
