On the other hand, nobody else is here to be a witness. [ considering he just came off a case that centered around poisoning... kind of hard not to think about it. but also, i'm here to shitpost so shut up apollo. ]
But yeah. Bad business when we were invited in the first place.
[ he figures it's like this. if these are all out here, they probably aren't too bad off. also, if he does it with someone else, it at least means having a witness. so there's a nod. ]
Works for me. Probably better to know what these are anyway. Ready?
[ floating just makes her taller and he's not having it. ]
I don't think "cute" was the goal here. [ he is downright adorable as a lil mushroom... even if he's walking up to the table to try and stretch and grab her. get down here. ] How long do you think this lasts?
[ leashed by mushroom!!! except for the part where he's a small mushroom, so soon he finds himself being pulled up because she's floating. no!!! he's kicking his feet wildly to try and stay on the ground. ]
Forever is definitely off the table! [ how is anyone supposed to take him seriously like this? ] I haven't either. Just the moles and sometimes cheese...? But they don't seem too bothered by that.
[ i think it's funnier if they just aimlessly float around the market, so there they go!! ]
I think "odd" is putting it lightly. But yeah, I can't always tell either. For one thing, miles shouldn't be this big. And potions shouldn't cause this. [ gestures to his mushroom self and her floating self. ]
I did, it only affected him. The good news is that he didn't sound like me, so all you have to do is get the person to speak, but it's easy to get up to no good silently...
Yeah. If you keep your mouth shut, you can easily fool someone into believing they're talking to the wrong person. And that's not great when we don't even know each other to begin with.
I don't even know half of these people's names. [ and he doesn't do anything about that for the most part because he's busy figuring things out. ] But they could be. Maybe someone's so good at it they're actually involved with whoever brought us here to start with. You know. Like somebody hiding among us.
[ good morning. she can probably catch him dipping in and out of a conference room getting some things organized and adjusting the sign on the door, but he seems pretty focused? also a little agitated. but that happens when you are ankle-deep in corpses, he guesses. but he at least notices another person is here, so he stops long enough to acknowledge her. ]
[ assumes she knows he's the one who put it up, so he nods. ]
That's... that doesn't even begin to cover it. The first time, I could've bought that it was just a freak accident. Two people in the wrong place at the wrong time. The second time... [ ...he sort of skips over that with a wave of his hand. We don't really know what happened to that woman found at the golf course, and Miyu... with how all four of them came back, it wasn't surprising we lost one of them.
I didn't mean to end up there. [ sometimes you just kind of are lost in thought and wander somewhere and then get stuck. ] But how do you get stuck outside?
[ That seems like the least likely. ]
It's about as suspicious as us falling asleep right before that explosion that brought us here. [ so. pretty sus. ]
Yeah. If we had, I would've realized two of my colleagues and my boss were here, but nobody seemed to notice until we got to the city. Whoever brought us here enticed us with a vacation, but purposefully separated us. And I want to find out why.

she hands him a potion. ]
no subject
So... what is it?
no subject
[ nods. ]
no subject
If they're just out here, they're probably not too bad...?
no subject
I think not. It would be bad business if you poison your guests.
[ later on, loop and geto die, but this pc is set before that happens. ]
no subject
But yeah. Bad business when we were invited in the first place.
no subject
Want to try them with me? We can go at the same time.
no subject
Works for me. Probably better to know what these are anyway. Ready?

[ chug chug chug ]

becomes mushroom. ]
This was a terrible idea. [ AH. ]
no subject
she tries to grab onto a table so she does not float too far. ]
Oh! You are so cute.
no subject
I don't think "cute" was the goal here. [ he is downright adorable as a lil mushroom... even if he's walking up to the table to try and stretch and grab her. get down here. ] How long do you think this lasts?
no subject
Perhaps forever? [ ... ] Well, maybe not long. I have not seen a herd of mushrooms running amok, at least.
no subject
Forever is definitely off the table! [ how is anyone supposed to take him seriously like this? ] I haven't either. Just the moles and sometimes cheese...? But they don't seem too bothered by that.
no subject
[ they're just going to float together now... this is fine... ]
I'm never quite sure what I am looking at.
no subject
I think "odd" is putting it lightly. But yeah, I can't always tell either. For one thing, miles shouldn't be this big. And potions shouldn't cause this. [ gestures to his mushroom self and her floating self. ]
no subject
[ their info SUCKS!! ]
Earlier, someone's appearance changed to look just like me as well... isn't that dangerous?
no subject
I figure we're not on earth, at least. It's a start of an answer. How did their appearance change? Did you also still look like yourself?
no subject
no subject
no subject
anyway ]
Right, for all we know someone here may be an amazing actor.
no subject
I don't even know half of these people's names. [ and he doesn't do anything about that for the most part because he's busy figuring things out. ] But they could be. Maybe someone's so good at it they're actually involved with whoever brought us here to start with. You know. Like somebody hiding among us.
week 1, friday
... anybody tell you the news yet?
no subject
[ she does not know he is the one who put it up. ]
What a week!
no subject
That's... that doesn't even begin to cover it. The first time, I could've bought that it was just a freak accident. Two people in the wrong place at the wrong time. The second time... [ ...he sort of skips over that with a wave of his hand. We don't really know what happened to that woman found at the golf course, and Miyu... with how all four of them came back, it wasn't surprising we lost one of them.
But this feels different.
no subject
[ if anything, that's what really standing out the most more than anything else. ]
no subject
A handful of people ended up in one of the spas. Didn't seem to be a way out after a point, and then everyone fell asleep. Including Vi.
no subject
It's strange for that to have happened right before the deaths that appear the most suspect, yes?
no subject
I didn't mean to end up there. [ sometimes you just kind of are lost in thought and wander somewhere and then get stuck. ] But how do you get stuck outside?
[ That seems like the least likely. ]
It's about as suspicious as us falling asleep right before that explosion that brought us here. [ so. pretty sus. ]
no subject
[ SO. YOU KNOW. SUSPICIOUS. ]
The explosion we still have no answers for. I wouldn't be surprised if people did actually die.
[ SINCE THAT'S SO NORMAL. ]
no subject
Do you think more people should have been here than all of us who actually showed up then? [ that would actually explain some things. ]
no subject
And we didn't get to speak to each other on the train.
