• someone has left out a bowl of cursed halloween candy in the Hotel Lobby! :) What a nice treat.
W3 Monday:
• as of today, the memshare effect is permanent! Any reflective surface can play out memories your memories at any time. Forever. Yay!
W4 Monday:
• there is a mailbox in The Lobby, next to the useless structure in the center of the room.
W4 Friday:
• several bottles of alcohol - including a couple osmanthus wine, specifically, but some good variety in general - have been added to the bar, with the note "From Gabriel - Z" added to the shelf they've been set on.
W5 Monday:
• there's now a small patch of freshly grown convallaria flowers in the corner of the meadow.
• everyone will find a handwritten invitation on their door to a party this Wednesday! It will be held in the hotel lobby, and food and drink will be provided. There is a formal dress code.
W5 Tuesday:
• there is now writing on the kindergarten chalk board in white chalk. It reads: "You must attend the party on Wednesday (that's tomorrow!) in formal wear, and complete at least two of the following: play a game, share a dance, or pay someone a genuine compliment." You do not feel compelled to obey, but intuitively know there may be consequences if you don't. (Please flag your mods if you did not do this!)
• Jiaoqiu's hotpot leftovers are in the kitchen freezer! There's a note with the received date on it (W5 Monday).
W5 Sunday:
• A few copies of compiled notes taken for the past infoshares so far have been placed on some of the tables in the cafeteria.
W6 Monday:
• there is now writing on the kindergarten chalk board in white chalk. It reads: "Send at least one gift to someone on the other side of Heaven that you made yourself, with actual effort and thought, in Write It Off." You do not feel compelled to obey, but intuitively know there may be consequences if you don't. (Please flag your mods if you did not do this by next Sunday!)
• There's a box of (cursed valentines day) chocolates in the hotel lobby with a note that says - From Shadowheart.
W6 Tuesday:
• While the goose is rampaging the hotel halls there are also like a hundred frogs jumping around like crazy. yippee
Now that you have your very own mailbox, you can send things to the living! This can be physical letters and/or objects! Over-sized mail can be left beside the mailbox and will be delivered all the same. But sometimes the mail chao do get a little over-enthusiastic and collect things you maybe didn't want to send... Oopsie.
On an unrelated note, Chipper seems to be a little glitchy lately. Sometimes it flings your messages over to the living side's Chipper as anonymous posts. And sometimes voice-to-text activates on its own, too! Crazy. So weird.
Use the appropriate weekly header and fill out a form to send some mail!
Day: W5 Sunday i am sorry for more Recipient: Gabriel Letter Content:
Gabriel,
I know what your type is, but have you kissed anyone here? With Shadowheart lightening her hair, is she... less "hot," but does this mean she is closer to your "league?"
Now that I think about it Claude fits the criteria. It's unfortunate that he's on this side. He seems non-committal, so perhaps it wouldn't be awkward if you gently solicit him. Treat him well if it passes your mind.
Hope you are doing well.

Do you usually solicit people? Recipient: Marcoh Letter Content:
Marcoh,
Damn. This weekend must have been shitty. I have nothing else to say. Proust is getting coddled and I want to spew chunks.
[What if he just like, stayed in the cage. What if he did that. He is truly just kind of catatonically in there for a bit but eventually he kicks the wholeass door off its hinges with a kind of robotic accuracy and drops down into the pool below, barely making a splash. Haha! More blood! Yay! GETS TO THE EDGE AND PULLS HIMSELF OUT OF THIS BLOOL and then just starts walking somewhere. Where is he going. Don't worry about it. There may be people here but he is not paying them any mind, gooby.
Chances are he will not be responding much initially so feel free to instead find him elsewhere later when he's less catatonic, at some point after he's found his things. Maybe in the cafeteria sippin' a juice box after a long weekend of dying and killing. My god.]
[ sometimes you're dead and you really just embrace nihility while your soul is healing. so fuck it! roller rink time!
should you venture into smoochin' blades at any point this week, you may come across majima performing a routine so practiced it seems as though it has been etched into his very being. he's very enthusiastic about it! almost like he's as close to being alive as he's been this whole game so far! (his chao is also here and dancing too, though it trips more often than not compared to majima's flawless rolling spins and leaps.)
[ more gifts have been gifted from charlie! she has once again tried to match aesthetics ]
Jacopo: A fancy tie Saber: Insulated little lunch bag with fruit pattern on the outside Yves: Durable leather gloves Lucas: Ribbons and accessories for hair
[At some point after the FROG AND GOOSE PLAGUES BEGIN, if you're walking outside, something rains down on you... Fortunately, not a gross something. It's flower petals! what da hael. Glancing up into the sky will reveal a... a blur just streaking on by? Hm? Oh! It's Lucas! He's just fucking running and leaping around out here, doing some wildass bullshit and getting crazy air about it! And he's wearing a cape!
Oh no, just kidding, that is not a cape. That is a wholeass Charlie who's just hanging off of him as they go sailing through the air and parkouring into the distance somewhere. Gooby.]
Hello, deadzos. Enjoying your day so far? Wherever you might be on this fine Wednesday, you will soon see Kiraman's face popping up on the many screens across the dead zone to address everyone.
KIRAMAN
"Beta testing complete. I could use your help with the rest. Meet me in the basement lab."
The connection goes out again shortly after. You don’t have to listen. You could really just ignore him entirely, but for those of you who make your way to the lab you’ll find both Kiraman and Lailah powering on several of the computers and setting aside what look like small VR headsets. On a separate table are snacks and drinks to keep you fueled up, along with a few printed how-to packets with instructions on how to use a computer (detailed and dumbed down to ye olde by Kiraman.) Once everyone has gathered, he begins to explain.
“We weren’t entirely sure until recently, but the post from Chipper last Sunday has led Lailah and I to believe that we’ve had a spy in our midst. I don’t want to hear it, she was hired at the same time we were, but we need the proof. That’s one part of your mission today. I think the answer is buried somewhere inside the code of the realm I built inside Heaven’s passageways.
Because of the mail exchange between us and the other side, we’ve managed to narrow down the exact path to get us back to their side. We will need to work in tandem with them to build up the bridge, but that’s going to be up to them. I already sent instructions to Gamaliel, along with a warning. Today, you’ll be porting it and testing your physical and mental reflexes to ensure your souls have rebuilt themselves to nearly full capacity. You’ll need to build your avatars and enter the game to run these tests. You’ve got a few options though, so try not to stick with one thing if you can help it.
Oh. And I’ve got some coordinates I can drop on your map once you’re in. There’s five keys we need to collect, along with a weird reading I keep getting. Think you can handle that?”
It should be easy. There are some books about RPGs for Dummies among the reference materials, along with some papers, pens and art supplies for you to create your own customized avatars. You can be a barbarian princess, a dashing rogue, or even a cute little kitty cat with wings. There’s no limit to what you look like, so long as you snap a picture with your phone and upload them to your computer when you’re ready! Once your avatar has been ported in, it’s time to slip on your headset and load into the realm beyond. Oh, and your chao are coming along as your special navigation buddies, too.
As the world unfolds before you, you’ll find yourself in a grassy valley with a wide-spread map of all sorts of areas, including an in-game camera to display the living side’s team-building event. You can venture forward to a rocky ravine, a winter-y mountain, a deep dark cave, a molten-lava river and more. The world is your oyster to exercise and test your skills and powers. Fight monsters around the setting (or each other, if you’re game!) to level up and earn mad EXP. You can also collect loot with each felled monster, but the prizes are in-game currency and monster parts. Great.
For those of you looking for more of a quest route, you will find five pins dropped by Kiraman across the map. One is in an underwater domain, one is in a jungle, one is in a fire-y canyon, one is in a stormy valley and one is buried deep in the mountains. These pins will lead you to the location of special keys needed to lock in and stabilize the bridge. When you reach these pins, after fighting your way across the world, you will find that each key is guarded by a puzzle! Some of these will involve teamwork (such as a dangerous domain full of traps, pitfalls, and monsters), while others require a bit of critical thinking (such as solving the riddles of a sphinx.) Some of these obstacles may even be remnant of things you’ve experienced from home, quest givers and NPCs sporting familiar faces. Try not to fall for their traps, and focus on collecting your items.
And for those of you who prefer a bit of hands-on creation, you can stick around near the home base and put your focus into the Forge, where you’ll be given blueprints to follow and items to alchemize and create new weapons, artifacts and more. These can be created to help your fellow gamemates boost their stats, or they could help you create modes of transportation, or they could even be small items based on things from home.
Most importantly, every player will be given a quest at the top of their map: find Ariel. You aren’t sure what this may mean, but you do know that it will take all of you working together and rejuvenating your souls to unearth the proof you seek. Fight onward and upward, warriors. Let’s secure our route back.
Welcome to your gy mini-event! Characters will have the opportunity to embark on an epic quest and customize their own avatar, weapons, and flex their skills while actively working to fuel the bridged path to the living side. Feel free to make up your own monsters, encounters, and puzzles, but if you need ideas you may ping your mod team!
If you would like to work on the key-gathering prompts, please reply to the sub-TL comment to alert your gamemates which ones are taken and which still need to be addressed.
Additionally, if you are fighting each other please be sure to communicate with one another! Try not to attack someone who isn't doing a fighting prompt, basically, unless you've already spoken to them.
To receive rewards for this mini event, your mods would like to see a contribution of 5-10 comments beyond a top level. Threadjack, shitpost, etc. Please turn in your mini event participation HERE by Friday at 3pm EST/ 12pm PST
After a long day's work, the path is finally clear. You've done all you can to open up the bridge between the Healing Center and the rest of Heaven. All you can do now is trust that they'll make progress on their side to meet your efforts halfway. But faith in your friends tells you it won't be long now before you can see them again.
In the meantime: that wasn't your only goal. With all of your combined efforts, the group of you were able to complete that mystery quest: Find Ariel.
The reward for this quest is buried data, hidden deep within the game's code. It was clearly meant to be scrubbed away, never to be found... But now you have it. With some work to decrypt what you've found, you now have an additional Guardian Angel's Profile. Except. Well. You've never seen her before? Her profile is available in the Principal's Office, tucked into the same folder all the other Guardian Angels' are.
Along with this profile, there was also a trace of some correspondence... Most of it was corrupted, but you're able to get a snippet: Replacing their hire and forging the contract was so easy it almost makes this boring. I even kept the same code name for simplicity's sake. That aside, I've opened a path already, so I'll leave limiting their ability for contact to you. I'll update you once things get moving. I will be lying low until then.
Also. Mary is no longer available for Audiences. Seems as though she never came back from her little visit to the other side! Weird!
[ Out comes tumbling Adolphe in some clothes, except it has holes, cuts, and just general clothing damage. There are bloodstains on them all over the fabric, a claw wound dragged diagonally across his face that partially got his eye, the other eye being blood red as in literally blood red--there's blood in his eye--and so many pierce wounds on his back and a huge bruise that it's a miracle that he's still alive. He's bleeding tons out of those injuries, but at least it's getting mixed with saltwater, so it'll be easier to clean, right? Haha. No, everything hurts like a bitch. Literal salt in his wounds.
He groans like a zombie, struggling to get up on the laundromat floor to crawl. Sorry, he's trekking water and blood everywhere. The more he moves, the more he bleeds out from the numerous wounds. There's even a puncture in the center of his torso where the liver should be.
Oh, and he's extremely pale and cold. White as a freshly laundered bedsheet. Must be all the blood loss. His eyes can't focus if he can open them at all. In fact, he looks absolutely disoriented. Adolphe coughs violently and there's still some water coming out of his mouth too. Maybe he's trying to expel water out of his system? But it makes the choking worse. ]
Where's... the kid...
[ He manages to croak that out. His voice is terrible. ]
[ behind him stumbles hawke, or, some white boy who just happens to be here. there's an answering wet cough, a metric fuckton of water sloshing up and out.
he sways once before quickly slumping to the floor, blood running down in rivets. it's hard to say where exactly he's bleeding from but the number certainly hangs in the numerous.
oh. and of course we can't forget the hasty rag wrapped around his head. wonder what's up with that!!
otherwise he leans against the nearest surface and simply doesn't reply ]
[ Are you in the the Meadow? A girl just materialized. She's in a different outfit than her usual. It looks burnt, ripped apart, and also, somehow, soaked through with red. There's hardly any green to it at all anymore.
Firefly seems aware of where she is, hauling herself up under her own strength and beginning to walk, though it's a slow process to get anywhere with these injuries.
Getting a good look at her, it's obvious there are burns, and with the way she's moving, at least her ribs and arms are broken.
Not any of those injuries are stopping her from moving. ]
Oh! For context, I had a spare Dream Diary and sent a dream over to Shadowheart since it gets there a little sooner than mail. Some others got dreams too, I think, and they compared notes about what we learned.
We asked for her to look after Gabriel since it seems like he hasn't been doing well this week, and we tried to get more information about the transition between old god and new god. If you're willing to share what Gabriel wrote on that, I think it could be helpful since that's a point of uncertainty that only he can clear up.
Even though I'd hope that he not get swarmed this week or anything...
[ In the kindergarten cafeteria, there will be trays of food and... a lot more than usual. It's called the Saber accommodation.
There's fresh and cool vegetable soup, fried chicken, some songlotus cakes, baked potato casserole and more! Slices of fruits and vegetables are available too.
For drinks, there's water, milk, chocolate milk, soda, big baby rootbeer, rootbeer (yes the rootbeers are cursed. No, Adolphe didn't know), and... strawberry milkshakes! It's sweet and creamy. Yum. There's enough for everyone.
The screen shows the trial room as always. What will unfold today?
Oh, and Adolphe isn't coming. Don't try to find him. Peace out. ]
[BACK AGAIN... There are too many people here who won't head-grip Adolphe, goodbye foolish friend.
Viktor is just chilling to himself again while watching, this time with a strawberry milkshake. The purple chao is here, too, with a little scrapped together mini train from useless parts.]
[ execution watch: the finale! zhongli has set up the cafeteria again with plenty of food - lighter things like cut fruits and fresh veggies with dips, along with his signature slow-cooked bamboo shoot soup (enough for seconds and thirds) - as well as the usual drink spread. juices, milks, teas, water, etc etc. he's set it up so that the food is closer to the entrance than the screens, so that anyone who is just swinging by to get food doesn't have to linger too long at the execution watch.
zhongli is here, as always! standing with his arms folded behind his back, the lovely scarf that charlie made him looped once around his neck and then draped down his shoulders as he keeps his eyes on the screens. ]
Anyway, there's just so much happening at once. Between the swing of a cage, a collision into the blools below and this wet cat is just
booking it AWAY. Sorry if you were expecting anything different, come catch him if you want. I say but you might have to catch them in PCs because they aren't stopping for ANYTHING. ]
[ good afternoon. once siffrin has had time to settle, everyone will receive a text from kiraman asking to gather in the cafeteria.
as you enter, you will find kiraman and lailah seated at a table at the head of the cafeteria. there is a large projection displaying a picture of the ever-present structure that’s been depowered since your arrival. it spins in a slow 360, showing off all sides as little threads of light attach to the model to show a slow charging bar.
as everyone settles in, kiraman will begin to speak. ]
Hey. So between everything you guys tackled Wednesday and the final run of my script… our gate’s finally powering on. Lailah and I checked this morning, and it looks like it’s connecting to our ticket out of here.
[ a swipe of the hand, and soon an image of a grayscale, endless void appears. at the end of the void is a train, patiently waiting for them to board. ]
It should be fully charged by tomorrow morning. Then it’s just a matter of boarding the train and getting back to their side. We were able to head through and take a look ourselves. Train’s already running, but… it’s locked. [ which. why. who the hell locks a train and leaves it running? thoughtshare aside… ] One of you has a solution to that though, I believe.
So here’s our new plan. I’m going to run one more biometric scan on all of you to make sure you’re stable and ready to go back and won’t immediately fall apart when we get there. Once you’re cleared, Lailah will help make sure you and your belongings get through the gate to head for the train. Once it’s unlocked and we’re sure everybody’s aboard, we’re out of here.
If there’s anything you want to pack beforehand, now’s the time to do it. Once we arrive, there’s no coming back. We will have a week on the other side with them before Judgment Day. Do not blow things in the last few days. If any of you act out, cause damage, or attempt to hurt or kill each other, I will put you in time out and possibly end you myself. Are we clear?
[ …speaking of clear though. ]
While you guys are here? Might not be a bad idea to talk about what’s been going on, too. Go in with a plan and everything. So… we’ll be here for whatever you need. And we’ll meet you at the transportation gate tomorrow.

there's a stranger(?) in the graveyard all of a sudden! although you might recognize the logo on his chest from brimstone's ghost form.
He's hovering a few feet in the air, hair and cape both fluttering, looking at his newly-beefed hands and arms. ]
Is this...? ...yes! Yes! Finally! Free from that puny clone body!
[ triumphant maniacal cackling!
he sounds like this now, ftr. ]

should you venture into smoochin' blades at any point this week, you may come across majima performing a routine so practiced it seems as though it has been etched into his very being. he's very enthusiastic about it! almost like he's as close to being alive as he's been this whole game so far! (his chao is also here and dancing too, though it trips more often than not compared to majima's flawless rolling spins and leaps.)
and while he isn't doing any kissing (please don't do that to him he just wants to skate), he may also just be showing up in the background! skating by and celebrating as two other people kiss!! wow love wins!!! ]

MINI-EVENT
Hello, deadzos. Enjoying your day so far? Wherever you might be on this fine Wednesday, you will soon see Kiraman's face popping up on the many screens across the dead zone to address everyone.
The connection goes out again shortly after. You don’t have to listen. You could really just ignore him entirely, but for those of you who make your way to the lab you’ll find both Kiraman and Lailah powering on several of the computers and setting aside what look like small VR headsets. On a separate table are snacks and drinks to keep you fueled up, along with a few printed how-to packets with instructions on how to use a computer (detailed and dumbed down to ye olde by Kiraman.) Once everyone has gathered, he begins to explain.
“We weren’t entirely sure until recently, but the post from Chipper last Sunday has led Lailah and I to believe that we’ve had a spy in our midst. I don’t want to hear it, she was hired at the same time we were, but we need the proof. That’s one part of your mission today. I think the answer is buried somewhere inside the code of the realm I built inside Heaven’s passageways.
Because of the mail exchange between us and the other side, we’ve managed to narrow down the exact path to get us back to their side. We will need to work in tandem with them to build up the bridge, but that’s going to be up to them. I already sent instructions to Gamaliel, along with a warning. Today, you’ll be porting it and testing your physical and mental reflexes to ensure your souls have rebuilt themselves to nearly full capacity. You’ll need to build your avatars and enter the game to run these tests. You’ve got a few options though, so try not to stick with one thing if you can help it.
Oh. And I’ve got some coordinates I can drop on your map once you’re in. There’s five keys we need to collect, along with a weird reading I keep getting. Think you can handle that?”
It should be easy. There are some books about RPGs for Dummies among the reference materials, along with some papers, pens and art supplies for you to create your own customized avatars. You can be a barbarian princess, a dashing rogue, or even a cute little kitty cat with wings. There’s no limit to what you look like, so long as you snap a picture with your phone and upload them to your computer when you’re ready! Once your avatar has been ported in, it’s time to slip on your headset and load into the realm beyond. Oh, and your chao are coming along as your special navigation buddies, too.
As the world unfolds before you, you’ll find yourself in a grassy valley with a wide-spread map of all sorts of areas, including an in-game camera to display the living side’s team-building event. You can venture forward to a rocky ravine, a winter-y mountain, a deep dark cave, a molten-lava river and more. The world is your oyster to exercise and test your skills and powers. Fight monsters around the setting (or each other, if you’re game!) to level up and earn mad EXP. You can also collect loot with each felled monster, but the prizes are in-game currency and monster parts. Great.
For those of you looking for more of a quest route, you will find five pins dropped by Kiraman across the map. One is in an underwater domain, one is in a jungle, one is in a fire-y canyon, one is in a stormy valley and one is buried deep in the mountains. These pins will lead you to the location of special keys needed to lock in and stabilize the bridge. When you reach these pins, after fighting your way across the world, you will find that each key is guarded by a puzzle! Some of these will involve teamwork (such as a dangerous domain full of traps, pitfalls, and monsters), while others require a bit of critical thinking (such as solving the riddles of a sphinx.) Some of these obstacles may even be remnant of things you’ve experienced from home, quest givers and NPCs sporting familiar faces. Try not to fall for their traps, and focus on collecting your items.
And for those of you who prefer a bit of hands-on creation, you can stick around near the home base and put your focus into the Forge, where you’ll be given blueprints to follow and items to alchemize and create new weapons, artifacts and more. These can be created to help your fellow gamemates boost their stats, or they could help you create modes of transportation, or they could even be small items based on things from home.
Most importantly, every player will be given a quest at the top of their map: find Ariel. You aren’t sure what this may mean, but you do know that it will take all of you working together and rejuvenating your souls to unearth the proof you seek. Fight onward and upward, warriors. Let’s secure our route back.

After a long day's work, the path is finally clear. You've done all you can to open up the bridge between the Healing Center and the rest of Heaven. All you can do now is trust that they'll make progress on their side to meet your efforts halfway. But faith in your friends tells you it won't be long now before you can see them again.
In the meantime: that wasn't your only goal. With all of your combined efforts, the group of you were able to complete that mystery quest: Find Ariel.
The reward for this quest is buried data, hidden deep within the game's code. It was clearly meant to be scrubbed away, never to be found... But now you have it. With some work to decrypt what you've found, you now have an additional Guardian Angel's Profile. Except. Well. You've never seen her before? Her profile is available in the Principal's Office, tucked into the same folder all the other Guardian Angels' are.
Along with this profile, there was also a trace of some correspondence... Most of it was corrupted, but you're able to get a snippet: Replacing their hire and forging the contract was so easy it almost makes this boring. I even kept the same code name for simplicity's sake. That aside, I've opened a path already, so I'll leave limiting their ability for contact to you. I'll update you once things get moving. I will be lying low until then.
Also. Mary is no longer available for Audiences. Seems as though she never came back from her little visit to the other side! Weird!
1/???
He groans like a zombie, struggling to get up on the laundromat floor to crawl. Sorry, he's trekking water and blood everywhere. The more he moves, the more he bleeds out from the numerous wounds. There's even a puncture in the center of his torso where the liver should be.
Oh, and he's extremely pale and cold. White as a freshly laundered bedsheet. Must be all the blood loss. His eyes can't focus if he can open them at all. In fact, he looks absolutely disoriented. Adolphe coughs violently and there's still some water coming out of his mouth too. Maybe he's trying to expel water out of his system? But it makes the choking worse. ]
Where's... the kid...
[ He manages to croak that out. His voice is terrible. ]
2/2
he sways once before quickly slumping to the floor, blood running down in rivets. it's hard to say where exactly he's bleeding from but the number certainly hangs in the numerous.
oh. and of course we can't forget the hasty rag wrapped around his head. wonder what's up with that!!
otherwise he leans against the nearest surface and simply doesn't reply ]

Firefly seems aware of where she is, hauling herself up under her own strength and beginning to walk, though it's a slow process to get anywhere with these injuries.
Getting a good look at her, it's obvious there are burns, and with the way she's moving, at least her ribs and arms are broken.
Not any of those injuries are stopping her from moving. ]

MAIL TIME - W6 FRIDAY
no subject
Oh! For context, I had a spare Dream Diary and sent a dream over to Shadowheart since it gets there a little sooner than mail. Some others got dreams too, I think, and they compared notes about what we learned.
We asked for her to look after Gabriel since it seems like he hasn't been doing well this week, and we tried to get more information about the transition between old god and new god. If you're willing to share what Gabriel wrote on that, I think it could be helpful since that's a point of uncertainty that only he can clear up.
Even though I'd hope that he not get swarmed this week or anything...

W6 trial watch
There's fresh and cool vegetable soup, fried chicken, some songlotus cakes, baked potato casserole and more! Slices of fruits and vegetables are available too.
For drinks, there's water, milk, chocolate milk, soda, big baby rootbeer, rootbeer (yes the rootbeers are cursed. No, Adolphe didn't know), and... strawberry milkshakes! It's sweet and creamy. Yum. There's enough for everyone.
The screen shows the trial room as always. What will unfold today?
Oh, and Adolphe isn't coming. Don't try to find him. Peace out. ]

Viktor is just chilling to himself again while watching, this time with a strawberry milkshake. The purple chao is here, too, with a little scrapped together mini train from useless parts.]

w6, sunday
Anyway, there's just so much happening at once. Between the swing of a cage, a collision into the blools below and this wet cat is just
booking it AWAY. Sorry if you were expecting anything different, come catch him if you want. I say but you might have to catch them in PCs because they aren't stopping for ANYTHING. ]

week 6, sunday
as you enter, you will find kiraman and lailah seated at a table at the head of the cafeteria. there is a large projection displaying a picture of the ever-present structure that’s been depowered since your arrival. it spins in a slow 360, showing off all sides as little threads of light attach to the model to show a slow charging bar.
as everyone settles in, kiraman will begin to speak. ]
Hey. So between everything you guys tackled Wednesday and the final run of my script… our gate’s finally powering on. Lailah and I checked this morning, and it looks like it’s connecting to our ticket out of here.
[ a swipe of the hand, and soon an image of a grayscale, endless void appears. at the end of the void is a train, patiently waiting for them to board. ]
It should be fully charged by tomorrow morning. Then it’s just a matter of boarding the train and getting back to their side. We were able to head through and take a look ourselves. Train’s already running, but… it’s locked. [ which. why. who the hell locks a train and leaves it running? thoughtshare aside… ] One of you has a solution to that though, I believe.
So here’s our new plan. I’m going to run one more biometric scan on all of you to make sure you’re stable and ready to go back and won’t immediately fall apart when we get there. Once you’re cleared, Lailah will help make sure you and your belongings get through the gate to head for the train. Once it’s unlocked and we’re sure everybody’s aboard, we’re out of here.
If there’s anything you want to pack beforehand, now’s the time to do it. Once we arrive, there’s no coming back. We will have a week on the other side with them before Judgment Day. Do not blow things in the last few days. If any of you act out, cause damage, or attempt to hurt or kill each other, I will put you in time out and possibly end you myself. Are we clear?
[ …speaking of clear though. ]
While you guys are here? Might not be a bad idea to talk about what’s been going on, too. Go in with a plan and everything. So… we’ll be here for whatever you need. And we’ll meet you at the transportation gate tomorrow.
