[ if he minded being bullied he'd have zero friends. he has like. three of them. but still!!! easy easy, though more serious now, he sets a hand to his chin.]

Mm. Kiruko asked the owl toy a question about surviving all this, surviving Death - apparently it answered a question truthfully. And the owl said...

[ wrinkling his nose as he recites: ] There is no surviving against Death, only beating it at its own game unexpectedly. Death comes for all, but the turnabout begins when all is whole and the alarm goes off.

So, that's what we were knocking our heads together about before... all of this. [ before sims. ] Where the alarm could be, and what it meant to have 'all whole'.
