Right! I mean, I'm sure most people will be staying up late, right? [no]

We've got to think about having the energy we need for tasks, so I don't know. I'm gonna try and sleep earlier than usual.

[ she's gonna fail. ]

[I support her.]

That's true... I guess we don't know the details, either. They could summon us at three o'clock in the morning, for all we know.

I hadn't thought of that... They could do that, couldn't they...

They said five days, right? That means they'll probably be reaching out to us again soon.

I'm like... Impatient and nervous at the same time. Ugh.

But I hope it's at a reasonable hour at least. God.

I know what you mean. I'd like to have an idea of what they intend for us to do.

[If they're launched into an instant death match he might just lay down and let the earth take him]

Bonding exercise.

Supposedly.

With our teams, I assume? I suppose that's not a bad idea.

I figured Ruby was just joking with me when she said that, but... Now I've heard a couple people repeat it too, so. I don't know.

If multiple people are saying it, then it's likely true... but we'll have to wait and see.

[DID THEY BOND... THEY DID SOMETHING]

What's Ruby like? I haven't spoken to her yet.

She's nice. Easy to talk to.

That's good. I'll have to reach out to her soon. [I, pixi, have been SLACKIN]

[ you have time. unless you're dying soon in which case :beeguns: ]

... There are certain things she doesn't seem to want to talk about. But... like anyone has, right?

[(shifty eyes)]

Yes, I'd imagine so. [He certainly does, and Ruby seems so young, after all.] It's good that she's welcoming, though. I don't blame Kiichi for his demeanor, per se, but I don't think he's all that suited for this role.

[It's like putting Alhaitham in charge of commentating on an event... tch...]

[ :nyeh: ]

Yeahhhh, he doesn't seem to want to be doing it. But I guess a job's a job? [ how much do ANY of them want to be doing it? who knows ]

I asked if there were other options, but he didn't really give me an answer.

[ hmm. ]

Weird to think of what exists past... this.

I know. They said people who get "erased" will typically stay that way, but they clearly haven't been revived, so... what does that mean?

Right. There has to be all kinds of stuff we don't know about.

There has to be something in it for them. Even if it's just, like, pay... What do they need that pay for, you know?

[ heaven housing???? ]

Right! And they must stay somewhere. Surely they aren't confined to the same living situation we are.

Kiichi said they can buy groceries. So they must also have somewhere they can cook, too.

...You know, I'm a little surprised they gave us a restaurant. You'd think if they wanted to force us to survive, they would've made us figure out how to cook our own meals.

Maybe they don't trust us to not burn the place down.

Really? [He. Pauses. And thinks about Shenhe.] Oh.
