sengokus | childe gets to bully now

[HELLO MINEO... for healing timing purposes this is before healing, and through the magic of PCs they are either away from everyone else or everyone else is just deaf. IT'S FINE.

More importantly, he smiles at Mineo, looking very tired. He will at least be sitting down!]

I will once it's closer to the time we're meant to sleep. [...Also no he will not ignore it?] Are you alright?

Hm? Oh, yeah. I was just doing something before this...

[don't worry about it!!]

If you say so... Do you need anything else for your injuries until then? Painkillers?

[Were you watching The Notebook, Mineo

Actually, though, he sighs, leaning his head back.]

That would probably be a good idea, now that you mention it. [He intends to be asleep through the healing process, but still. He isn't totally impervious to pain.]

[he nods]

At least to numb it a bit - that looks pretty bad... but hopefully you'll at least be able to keep it from getting infected in the pod.

[that's his hope!! he doesn't want to deal with cauterizing it. but at least as he goes through his stuff he'll pull out two painkiller pills and hand them to childe]

Can I ask what happened...?

Mm. If nothing else, I'll beg a favor off our hosts. [He doesn't know what they could do to fix him, exactly, but if the healing pods don't work, that's the next best step.] I enjoy a challenge, but this is a bit much to work with, even for me.

[Especially when he's fucking nerfed and can't just cheat with his Vision.

But as for that question... he shrugs, a little helplessly.]

I'm happy to tell you, but in all honesty, I'm not sure how much of it I understood myself.

Ah.... Yeah. Well - let me know if I can help out at all. I don't know what I can do but... it is pretty rough.

[to say! the least!]

But... well, whatever you could make sense of then? I feel bad asking right after you got out of that situation but...

[well.

thursday.]

[THURSDAY. But it's fine, really. Childe's pretty confident that the whole thing was an illusion, so he doubts any of this will be useful anyway.]

Have you ever heard of "Hexagon Island"?

[ . . . . . . WHAT.]

... uh.

Actually.... yeah?

[WHAT?????]

[??????????

He clearly wasn't actually expecting a yes, and he looks very surprised?!]

...Do you know anything about a goat?

I... Uh. Nothing in that detail.

[he's shaking his head as if trying to clear it because he just looks - confused?]

... sorry. Someone here... is way more familiar with Hexagon Island. They mentioned it to me like it's a place they lived.

So you were there? There was a goat...?

[Childe stares at him for a minute, then hums slightly, shifting in his seat. Presumably his leg is at least bandaged by now? Who knows.]

I imagine if you were willing to share the name, you would've done so, so I won't press. But if that's the case, it likely had a connection to them.

[Which, yikes! If so.]

Yes--we were granted power, but had to return it to the goat in order to return here. Something didn't want us to, hence--

[He just fuckin. Lifts his handless arm slightly.]

[ . . . he looks thoughtful about it.]

If you don't find them yourselves first, I'm gonna talk to them after this. And if they say it's fine to give you their name, I will. But for right now... it seems like such a weird connection I don't want to draw suspicion to them if it's just a trick of this place.

[it's more because it's not his news to spread exactly that he won't give a name. fucking weird. hello?]

.... you had to fight that something? Is that what Primrose-san was talking about...?

Well, if it's someone amongst us, I have a couple of ideas. But if they're unwilling to speak to me, that's fine too.

[Given one of his guesses isn't someone he's personally close to. But that's an interesting theory--he'll have to see what happens tomorrow before he dwells on it too much.]

Yes, among other things. There weren't many instances where we weren't fighting--at least in my case. We were separated a few times.

[ . . . he blinks.]

What were you fighting...? Was it all just stuff on the path to get to the goat?

Dogs, skeletons, and someone from home, to name a few things.

[Hm.]

And yes, I suppose so. I believe it was also a person? [HM.] As I said, it was a bit difficult to understand what was happening.

Someone from home? Your home?

And - a person....?!

[THIS SOUNDS SO

SCATTERED]

[IT WAS. A TIME.]

Yes, and yes.

[Okay but Childe could be like a little more helpful, even with all the blood loss,]

Actually, it involved two people I know from home. I'm not pleased with that, I have to say.

[He had a great time with all the fighting but if this place could stay out of his head he'd appreciate it, thanks!! It's been a very long week for him!!!!]

[that's. hm.]

That's... Yeah. That sucks. I'm sorry, Childe-san. These illusions really hit hard.

[his brow furrows]

Did you talk to anyone from last week's group at all...? I don't know if they gave you more details to see if you could figure out any commonalities between what happened...

Mm.

[A noncommittal sound, to the first.

To the second--]

Sheila, Harrow, and the other two, you mean? I heard some of the details, but the only thing seems to be these objects we brought back. [Nodding towards the fucking. Porn book. I hate this.] Even then, we only had one strange hat.

[So it's not much of a connection, but it's about all he's got, for a starting basis. He isn't in much of a state to be investigating tonight, even if he did have time to do so before the doors locked.]

I have a feeling the Marquis and Miss Primrose will do exactly that, though, so I'll discuss it with them when we're in slightly better shape.

[

Vlad just gets left out, wow]

Hm.... Well - maybe look through the items and I heard that the Avatars can tell you... some things? Even if it's not everything. You'd know better questions to ask about your experience than I would.

[he tilts his head and only briefly glances to the porn book. yikes.]

.... erm, and Vlad-san...?

[THEY DON'T KNOW HE'S DEAD YET STOP]

[He just raises a very pointed eyebrow.]

Vlad had a meaningful connection with Sasazuka?

[Considering the other three were women, and we all know how the women in this game feel about Vlad.]

[ . . . . . . ]

He did?

[HE SOUNDS SHOCKED MORE IN THE SENSE OF

SOMEONE CAN HAVE A MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION WITH SASAZUKA?]

[MINEO HE WAS ASKING YOU. ...Okay more like pointing out how ridiculous a scenario that is.]

I think that reaction is enough explanation for why I didn't include him.

[WHO IN GROUP 1 WOULD HAVE TOLD VLAD CYOA DEETS. NO ONE.]

Still, if he cares, we'll inform him when we find out more. [They will not actually because he's DEAD!!]

[hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

I figure he probably cares... He hates being left out of stuff.

[mineo's concern extends to the incel who technically still hasn't done anything wrong? what even happened here]
