A wise choice. I will be doing little else but taking my meals and spending time with you and few others, truthfully. As few interactions with this place, the better, at this point. Two weeks of all of this already...
[ picking a bit of half-melted cheese off to put in her mouth, unhappy. ]
Two weeks, and with nothing to show for it but more death.
[ grumbling. his butt hurts so he just sits down to avoid getting kicked by phantom ghosts. this is a stupid day. but anyway i set this after another pc so i can have some lore for you ]
-- Speaking of. Spent a bit of time with Kiruko this morning, found out what her owl did. Apparently it answers a question, any question, so she asked it how we survive against death. And it said...
"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."
[ she moves easily when he sits, going to drop down and lean against his back so that they've got eyes in all directions. she's still eating, but she does finish that while she listens to him talk, one ear giving a twitch. ]
... 'tis forboding indeed. All is whole? Alarms? [ frowning, and it's in her voice. ] Kiruko introduced me to devices called cameras, and asked in my help putting them on the robots yesterday - it will allow us to see the recorded images of where they go, when they take our dead. Much as I would prefer to not lose more in this supposed game that is being played, we will at least be prepared to learn more.
[ and we got that answer plus three fucking bodies on monday so handwaves her circling back to this after she and kiruko talk about it.
should a body appear, they can check out its path! except it’s sort of weird, because you can see the robot going toward the edge of the city and seemingly just blipping out of existence? like it’s disappeared right through some sort of invisible barrier and it glitches out of sight. the camera feed appears underwater then…but you no longer see the body it was holding, and then everything goes black. when the feed reappears, the robot is back in the city almost as if nothing happened.

No, I'm staying as far away from that place as possible, so long as I can help it. I'd rather not have any repeats of the weekend.
[ please he does not want to be cheesed. ] Must've...run into something, I guess. [ he did not ] Odd morning.
