week 2, post-trial

[slobjection]

[ wherever nie is...... phoenix is going looking for him. ]

Calmer now?

[unanswering]

I think I am, but I can't say much for anyone else...

[he has SO many feelings, god, also-]

I got punched twice and no one even hit me!

[slobjection]

There seems to be a lot of that going around.

[ everyone is so excitable. ]

Things worked out in your favor, though.

[unanswering]

I'm really not sure if they did, yet.

[he's alive For Now.]

[slobjection]

For the moment. Though I don't think you're in any more danger with this.

[ like, they're all in danger, but you know. ]

What happened with you and Stefano?

[unanswering]

I'm not sure miss Brilith won't kill me over it.

[she was mad, it was scary, he doesn't want to talk to her ever again.]

...what do you want to know?

[slobjection]

It's been a very trying trial. [ ha.... ] She probably just needs some time.

Anything you can tell me. Do you know why he went after you?

[unanswering]

I have no idea-! He was himself, there shouldn't have been any reason to, besides... besides the lack of sleep. But I don't really seem like a difficult target, I'm sure...

[slobjection]

If he was our horse killer from last week..... it seems as though he has his own reasons for killing.

[ he really doesn't. ]

The skull protected you, then?

week 3, post-exec

[slobjection]

[ wherever nhs is.... phoenix will come looking for him, at some point! with pudding. ]

Hi there. Doing okay?

[unanswering]

I'm well enough.

[he's in the art room! looking curiously at that pudding.]

What is that?

[slobjection]

[ excellent. ]

Pudding. A good snack for fueling artistic fire.... and no drugs involved.

[unanswering]

That was only once-! We knew what we were doing-- well, Beau did...

[he made informed decisions on getting high!!]

But we don't have that at home, I think.

[slobjection]

I'm only teasing....

[ don't do drugs, nhs. ]

I can't say it's a subject I'm an expert on, myself....

[unanswering]

Oh- no, I mean the food, not the... substances.

[they definitely have drugs! he just doesn't.. use them. except for now, apparently.]

There's so much here that young master Jin and I haven't seen.

[slobjection]

[ well, he is a pudding expert. ]

Not the best place to broaden your horizons.... but at least something good's coming out of this place.

[ get lit sang ]

You like to paint, though, right?

[unanswering]

I think a couple of good things have.

[that gets a slight smile out of him, which brightens a little more at the question.]

I do-! It's a shame we didn't have better supplies earlier on, but at least we've got an entire room for it now.

endgame week, monday

[slobjection]

[ here we go!!!! and phoenix is coming with another pudding. ]

Hi there. Mind if I ask you a few questions?

[ stop saying "hi there" every time they talk, phoenix. ]

[unanswering]

Of course not. How can I help, Master Wright?

[it's fine he can say whatever he wants. nhs is just here chilling!]

[slobjection]

You can just call me Phoenix, you know. Or Nick. [ sliding over some pudding ]

I heard you used the room of req-whatever... can you tell me what happened, and what you learned?

[unanswering]

Mm-- after the letter we wrote master Blue told us to look into the heart, I decided to go try to locate it... I asked the room to show me the heart, and it became an empty wooden room, with nothing inside save for me. I was trapped there for several hours-- with the sound of a heartbeat from every possible direction.

[a sigh, there.]

That's when I first thought the room was the heart, but we've learned since that it... wasn't a good idea to enter it at all.

[slobjection]

The heartbeat... that was Master Blue.

[ if he wasn't already aware. ]

It takes a toll. I heard.

[unanswering]

It takes a toll and gives this place some sort of advantage. We're... missing parts of our souls now, evidently.

[...and there his brow knits, concerned.]

She wasn't there when it drained me that badly, but Beau... she went with me twice, on other occasions. Maybe more. I don't know how much she...

[would be missing. less than him, probably, but surely some.]

[slobjection]

Did you two ask more of it, or no...? That seems to be the way it steals from you.

[ so if they didn't get locked in and get super tired they're probably fine... aside from what nhs has already lost ]

[unanswering]

No, we just... spent time there, and used what was already provided when we entered.

[they were getting high as fuck ANYWAY MOVING ON, because that's something of a relief-]

As far as I'm aware, the only ones of us that were drained in the same way I was would be... young master Jin, Agni, Akechi, Akira, and miss Luna. Unless anyone else has done the same.
