[ He doesn't approach further then. ]

I guess I'm more used to texting than letter writing. Do you have to answer?

[mygod]

Yes. Every time I try to ignore them, the crow pecks at me worse.

[ so they've tried ]

[turbulency]

I guess I should put in more effort. [ Haha. ] Well, you saw the new island that showed up today, right?

Is that place also like the village? Created for the god the cult wants to summon?

[mygod]

No... I wouldn't say that. I think that the space if fluctuating and a new area opened, but it's not out of intentional manipulation of either we f—three or the cult.

[turbulency]

[ oh... that lil slip ]

I see. So those houses we're breaking into might really belong to someone.

[mygod]

They might.

But from what I heard, they do have showers and people are desperate.

[turbulency]

It's pretty great how much everyone is concerned with hygiene.

[mygod]

The stink is probably getting to them.

[turbulency]

Among other things.

[ tilts his head ]

Do you know where that... shop came from? With all the powerful items.

[mygod]

I wouldn't call it a shop, unless blood is a common currency where you're from.

[ maybe it is. no shame in that ]

But it's new. It's not from the cult or any intentional creation... I believe that the fluctuation of magic opened a rift and brought that space forward.

[turbulency]

It saw an opportunity for bloodshed and took it?

[ hm ]

The cult doesn't benefit from us killing one another, does it?

[mygod]

No, not particularly... but unless you all start dying en masse it's also not terribly inconvenient yet.

They summoned more of you than needed for the ritual, as a precaution.

[ like ordering in bulk ]

[turbulency]

[ they got their souls from costco? ]

... How smart of them. Are they worried that one of you has been killed?

[mygod]

No.

Considering the fact that we're fairly certain they're responsible.

[turbulency]

[ me like WHAT did i miss during trial ]

... Not one of us? Why would they do that?

[mygod]

Suspicion of betrayal.

[ dryly: ] Oh no.

[turbulency]

[ huh ]

So they were calling him a traitor.

[mygod]

Indeed.

So the three of us will need to exercise caution, it seems.

[turbulency]

Are we all not being subtle enough?

[mygod]

[ shrugs ]

Even if I were to give you direction, would the lot of you be able to follow it?

[turbulency]

That's kind of harsh. We carried out that ritual of yours over the weekend.

[ not me but everyone else ]

[mygod]

That's true.

Many of you were accusing an annoying child, though.

[turbulency]

[ me assuming this is about karma ]

Accusing the wrong person isn't necessarily disrupting the ritual.

[mygod]

It is not.

That also doesn't make it productive or useful.
