[ she doesn't respond right away, maybe because today has her on-edge. but soon enough: ]

It was a message from Eleanor and Vlad. What about yours?

[shiftingwinds]

mine just said im ok please indulge

mineo received messages too advising him to look for other notes

is it ok if i tell him to check with you ?

[chevaleros]

[ ugh, talking to people after this mess with childe. but she's responsible enough to say, ]

Yes, I would be glad to.

In return, would you help me with Childe? I don't trust leaving him alone in the same room as Medb.

[shiftingwinds]

[vira is so valid]

of course
should i meet you there ?

[chevaleros]

Please do. I can tell you more of what I received as well.

[shiftingwinds]

[onward to medbay!!

shi qingxuan is looking at her phone while she waits, but like, that's probably normal at this point since they're on #textquest.]

[chevaleros]

[ vira just looks sort of tired when sqx arrives, but she bows her head politely all the same. ]

...I thought it best someone watch the room.

[shiftingwinds]

Watch the room...?

[is


is she acting as a lookout while vira murders a man in cold blood]

[chevaleros]

[ no, but wouldn't it be funny if i sprang that on you in a pc ]

As in, stand guard. I don't want Childe running off and doing as he pleases.

[ she doesn't seem offended by the implication, though. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[that would be the funniest fucking thing and the thing is i can see pixi agreeing to it]

Ah - of course. We don't know when he'll wake up, after all.

[chevaleros]

[ i, nu, am gazing directly into the middle distance. ]

Indeed. It does give us time to talk, though. Eleanor explained to me that this ship is being powered off of all of us—chiefly, it will use the dead as fuel first. She also said that a red-haired person may be important, and that the dead at times receive visions.

[shiftingwinds]

[i've just been staring into the distance about hisoka since getting this tag

but, hm. she pauses at that, her brow furrowing slightly.]

...so... ideally, we should end this before the dead are used as fuel. But - did she say what sort of visions? ...and what "red-haired person"...?

[chevaleros]

I think that may be why they're encouraging you to indulge. If we do that, perhaps they'll be spared somehow...

[ maybe they won't need to be used as fuel? ]

Unfortunately, she didn't clarify any more from there. But I wanted to ask—did you see anyone with red hair on your 'adventure?' We encountered a toy that looked like a red-haired jester, and I recognized him in one of the tanks.

[shiftingwinds]

...if that's the case, then I'll indulge as much as it takes.

[(me, closing my eyes: horny indulgences only from now on)]

No... we didn't see anyone like that. We saw the four people from here and people that we knew from home, but other than that - we didn't see any other people. Just a furry, beaked creature in the vents.

[chevaleros]

[ she nods, choosing to ignore the horny indulgences. ]

A furry... what?

[shiftingwinds]

[she makes a face]

A furry creature. It had demonic-looking eyes, and a beak that another beak came out of when it attacked us.

I think I might have preferred to see the red-haired jester.

[chevaleros]

[ she sighs. ]

These adventures feel so pointless.

[ just almost losing our people to furry beak creatures. ]

Though... that does remind me, do you happen to own a jade fan?

[shiftingwinds]

...I don't know that it was necessarily pointless - but there's quite a bit that happened that I don't understand yet. I mean to speak with the Avatars about it, but...

[with. the weekend. and everything. she's saving that for monday.]

A fan?

[she looks startled, and then pulls her fan out of her belt, unfolding it so that vira can see it.]

I have this, if that's what you mean.

[chevaleros]

We can compare notes afterward. It has been... an eventful weekend.

[ but she knows they're supposed to talk about them a bit, so eventually they can. ]

On one of the shelves in the many rooms on our adventure, there was a jade fan—I thought it might be connected to you somehow. There were a few objects I didn't understand in general.

[shiftingwinds]

...it certainly has been.

[just. big oof about this entire weekend.]

I see... well, I've had a fair number of jade artifacts in my time, and I always keep this fan with me... [but who knows?] ...what other sorts of objects did you see, if you don't mind my asking?

[chevaleros]

[ she has to think back on this one, wow how have i been alive so long ]

Mm, well, there was the jester. I saw him in one of the pods, and he seemed out of place there. Then there was the fan, and one of the monsters we encountered may have had a... passing resemblance to one of the participants here. There was also this sheet of paper.

[ she'll pull up a picture for her. it's pretty sparse. ]

Also, one of the Avatars knew one of the people we encountered. It leads me to believe that while these adventures may not mimic any of our worlds, they do borrow quite a lot of details from our memories.

[shiftingwinds]

[sqx can't read japanese so alas she has no idea what that says]

...mm. That would make an unfortunate amount of sense - if this ship is being powered from us as you said, then it stands to reason it could very easily tap into our memories that way.

[chevaleros]

It does seem that way... though I don't understand how we can both be here and in those pods.

[ if that's where their energy is being drained from, maybe? ]

May I ask who all you saw? I do not mean to pry, but at this point I wonder what any of the connections are.

[shiftingwinds]

It's not prying - I've shared what I've seen with plenty of others. I don't think there's any real use for secrecy at this point.

We saw Yuri, Harrow, White, and Childe - and then each of us saw someone that I believe is someone we knew from home. For me, it was... well, it was Ming-xiong, but I didn't recognize the other three. Each on of the others recognized one of them, though.

[chevaleros]

...Yes, we encountered something like that too. One for each of us. That seems to be common amongst these outings.

[ terrible. ]

I don't know if this brings us any closer to answers.
