[wtfox]

That would be frustrating... they're all strong enough not to need people to do that.

[...]

They should go pull a bunch of pranks on the other dorms. Show them that they're still in this and don't need to be coddled. You can tell them I said that!

[departea]

Mm, alright! But I think so too.

It's a little insulting otherwise, isn't it?

[wtfox]

Oh, for sure! I definitely wouldn't be putting up with it if I was still there.

[departea]

Right.

What are you all doing over there?

[wtfox]

Waiting, I guess. Looking for Principal Bear's keys so we can get out of here. Oh, we had to do macaroni art, but the macaroni kept biting us, so Lan Wangji crushed it and turned it into paint.

What have you been up to?

[departea]

I... what?

[ ???? ]

Oh. Mostly just running around and trying to help people. Always busy. Everyone always has questions.

[wtfox]

Yeah, it didn't make sense to me while it was happening either.

[SIGHS.]

That's not surprising... everyone had a bunch of questions before I got expelled too. They're bound to keep having them, since the whole... murder thing... keeps happening...

[departea]

... unfortunately, yeah.

I wish it would stop.

[wtfox]

Would've been nice if it hadn't started in the first place!

[lila is :c so sad :c about murder :c ]

...are you holding up okay, though? It must be really tough for you, since people keep asking you guys questions.

[departea]

... I wouldn't really say that's the tough part, exactly.

It's the not really having answers that is,

[wtfox]

Well, yeah, but... people asking so many questions makes not having the answers feel harder, right? Because you have to keep admitting you don't know... it just seems rough.

[departea]

It's just something I'd have to get used to.

But, I shouldn't really complain to you.

[wtfox]

Please complain to me. Your complaints are probably the most interesting thing I'm hearing since I got put into daycare. I'm so bored, Sally.

[departea]

What is... even there...?

[wtfox]

A bunch of toys I haven't played with since I was, like, three years old.

[departea]

Ah... I'm not sure why I asked. It's a daycare.

What did Principal Bear say?

[wtfox]

That we're, like, stuck here because we were expelled.

[...]

And also that he lost his keys?

[departea]

That's-- oh!

Was the marquee you guys?

[wtfox]

Yeah, that was us. At the time, he couldn't find any of the keys at all, so we were just stuck in the one room.

...he found one of the keys since, so they're probably here somewhere, but. We thought it was a good idea just in case he dropped one on campus when he was at the trial the first week!

[departea]

Hm, well... I'll keep a look out on this side, especially if there's more than one that's missing.

[wtfox]

Thanks! I'm already starting to feel really cooped up here, and if there are more expulsions, it's only gonna get more and more crowded...

[departea]

... I hope there aren't.

[ although her tone says that she's a little resigned on that topic. ]

Um. I'm going to try to see if I can somehow get over there.

[wtfox]

Oh! If you're able to make it here, bring boba! We can hang out together like we were going to before everything, uh...

[went to hell.]

[departea]

Oh, yeah! I can see if I can bring anything else, too, especially if there's such a limited offering over there...

[wtfox]

That would be really great! There's mostly, like, food you'd find at a daycare here, so it leaves a bit to be desired.
