[ this is so funny with pesto being taller ]

This is energetic!

[mogger]

[ remember when maya did this to dimitri who is twice her size ]

Thought I'd try a creative way to get your attention.

[ seems like yuffie has... recovered....? ]

[mygod]

It definitely woke me up.

[ they will just

try to gently move her so that they are no longer kabedon'd ]

[mogger]

[ she allows it in an alphalike fashion ]

I got a mysterious piece of paper I want to show you. I'm sure you probably know what I'm talking about.... but, you know. As much as I really wanna know where it came from.... I know that's a secret for a reason, so I won't ask.

[ even though!! she really wants to!! ]

[mygod]

[ sooo alpha ]

Mmhm, feel free to show me then.

[mogger]

[ the most alpha, you can't stop her mom!!! ]

[ anyway shows pesto this thing: ]

"—ter what happened today, I don't think you could call this place safe by any stretch of the imagination. We've seen it react now in nearly a hostile way to our presence, and I don't know how long we can stay. Even so, the fact that it exists at all is beyond my expectation.

I suspect some of them want to reach out and make contact with the others, to ease their grief. I understand. But on the other hand, the cult realizing that this place exists—that there might be any space, no matter how small, that they cannot observe—would be catastrophic. What little safety and advantage we do have would be forfeit, and the cult is likely to wipe the slate clean and start over. And in truth, I have no proof that there's a way back.

So, is it worth hoping that they can keep a secret? Perhaps it is cruel, but I want to err on the side of caution."

[ they tilt their head. ]

That's interesting. Who got this, again?

[mogger]

Caelus, though he couldn't tell me where it came from. Kate couldn't tell me before when she showed me a mysterious piece of writing, either, so... I figure there's some reason to keep it a secret.

You think it's legit?

[mygod]

Possibly. At the very least, I think it's worth discussing with people about it.

[mogger]

Yeah, I showed it to the house and a few other people already and told them to be sneaky.

If, say, this were legit... hypothetically. Do you think there's a way for them to escape from there? Say, like, go home?

[mygod]

No idea. We don't really know anything about it, or what the conditions are like there, so I don't want to lie and get your hopes up.

[mogger]

Yeah, I get it. I don't know if I really want to believe in this, either. If it turns out to be fake, it'll feel like shit.

[ even more than it already does ]

Do you know of any areas that cult can't access? Is that a thing? Dead people aside.
