... Without knowing what happened to you, I can't say for sure one way or another. Do you think your killer was acting on someone else's influence?
ercnerd: (13)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-01 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's the same on my end.

[He can't say for sure one way or another.]

But I thought the kid's behavior was strange.
ercnerd: (14)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-01 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
I was accused of Rupert and Otome's sin. There was no proof to back the claim, but the kid was convinced that my death would be the end of everything.
inaccordant: (13. surprised)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-01 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's... definitely weird.
ercnerd: (21)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-01 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
So what do you think? It doesn't sound like assimilation. Rupert doesn't recall seeing the name on his list, either.
inaccordant: (22. art. neutral)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-01 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It probably isn't assimilation, though it's not out of question that this world might have played some kind of part, just of a different nature. However, it's also not impossible that your assailant was attacking of their own will and was merely deluded.

I can't say for certain.
ercnerd: (16)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-01 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope it was nothing more than a delusion, or we'll have another problem on our hands.
inaccordant: (7. hope2)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-01 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
... Well, it might be best to operate according to the worst-case scenario nevertheless, which is that it might be a repeat incident.
ercnerd: (13)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-02 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Should we be doing anything different?
inaccordant: (5. dawn)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-02 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think we have enough info to say decisively how you should be proceeding. Just stay alert for any other signs of it.
ercnerd: (14)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-02 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He sighs.]

That's about what we figured here. All right. We'll just have to wait.
inaccordant: (22. art. neutral)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-02 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
... Mm. We'll find a way to resolve this. [...] The others have put together a gift box, in your memory.
ercnerd: (11)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-02 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
My memory? I'm not dead anymore . . .
inaccordant: (8. hydrangea)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-02 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Then consider it a gift for your return.
ercnerd: (12)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-02 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, they didn't have to do that . . . What's in it?
inaccordant: (1.)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-03 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Mostly treats, alcohol, and crafts.
ercnerd: (02)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-03 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
They know what's good.

Is there anything perishable, though? If so, you should help yourself to it.
inaccordant: (10. exasperated)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-04 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to eat your gifts. Besides, nothing's immediately perishable. I'll store it elsewhere once the weather gets warmer.
ercnerd: (02)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-04 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'll just have to come back sooner than later.

Tell the others to remember to eat, won't you? And the same goes for you. Don't overwork yourself or we'll all be in trouble.
inaccordant: (8. hydrangea)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-04 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be fine. [a beat] But if I can pass on the message, I will.
ercnerd: (24)

[personal profile] ercnerd 2021-07-04 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

You must have your hands full, so I'll end it here. Unless something happens, I'll check in with you next week.
inaccordant: (7. hope2)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-07-04 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
All right. Next week, then.
