[ zuriel has planted herself in the flower garden of the olive garden today. quite literally, given she's on the ground instead of at the tea clearing. she's near the koi pond and seemingly watching for any fish that might appear, but she turns her head when she hears footsteps. ]

... hey.

Hey.

[he watches her for a moment.]

... Hanging in there?
batterypack: (And washed it away down the kitchen sink)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-02 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ this is a good question. ]

Better than some, I suppose. I wasn't particularly close to either of them. [ a pause. ] But I am worried about the people who were. [ taair. jiaoqiu. etc. ]

... how are you?
kumeyuri: (78)

[out of all the convicted so far, uruha liked neverah the most, so this sucks a lot, but.]

I'm managing. Same as you.

[worried about the others.]

You've probably already been told, but I wanted to catch up on things going around here.
batterypack: (TV taught me how to feel)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-02 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ uruha :( managing, but still feeling bad. what a combo.

she sits up a little taller though and frowns a bit to that. ]


I think you underestimate how much people might tell me, actually. They may have told Gamaliel though. What sort of things?

[it's fine...]

The morse code message that Richie and the others got, and Jiaoqiu-san's dream.
batterypack: (And days are always making you blue)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-02 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yeah the look on her face says nobody has told her shit, my guy. ]

Suddenly Claude asking if God spoke to us in Morse makes more sense. [ please explain. ]
kumeyuri: (126)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-02 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Claude... what?

[CLAUDE??]

According to Richie, he and the others from Thursday each received a message last Sunday that, in Morse, said "knock knock." No indication of who the sender is.

And then Jiaoqiu-san had a dream where the people we lost here were standing in a red and gold hotel, talking to each other about how they were disappointed their phones had no reception. Healthy, and with their chao. Then, at the very end, Jing Yuan-san looked up at Jiaoqiu-san specifically, waved, and smiled.

Jiaoqiu-san noted it as weird because he doesn't normally dream.

After a certain point I really do just ignore why Claude asks things and let him ask.

[ but um. that's not cool. ]

Just "knock knock"? No punch line or anything? [ that's weird. ] Maybe a prank call from someone here. But that dream... doesn't sound like anywhere I've heard of. All of them? When did this happen?

[i'm warping time to now set this audience after the million other pcs i had today]

Jiaoqiu-san had the dream earlier this week, it sounds like?

As for the messages, last Sunday. And the four who disappeared Thursday this week received one today, as well. Each different this time, though.

[he will show zuriel the list of decoded messages on his phone:

SABER: THIS ENTIRE THING HAS BEEN SAN (cut off)
WIS'ADEL: WITH THE KNOWLEDGE ... BEING MANIPULATED
KOHARU: WHOS THERE? ... BOO
BASILIO: OPEN THE DOOR UNWARY OF ANY THREAT
]
batterypack: (Take note it's not impressive)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-03 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ you're so valid. ]

I'll have to ask him about the dream myself next time I see him. I'm curious about a few details he might be able to answer.

[ she is looking at the four messages, and she is frowning so deeply. ]

What in the world... who is being manipulated? Or what? [ also she's not exactly thrilled about the idea of opening doors for some reason, so she's just continuing to frown. ]

What have the others said about these ones? [ she means other people he's talked to, not exactly other angels or anything. ]
kumeyuri: (78)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-03 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
... Combined with Jiaoqiu-san's dream, Richie thinks these messages might be related to the lost souls.
batterypack: (And I'll find a way to scare you too)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-03 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Given who the starring roles are? It's... interesting. Why only those people, you think? Is it because what the first group experienced was from Jiaoqiu's memories? But that doesn't explain the second set either.
kumeyuri: (70)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-04 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
To be honest, I don't have the slightest idea. Do we even know why people are disappearing on Thursday anyway?
batterypack: (TV taught me how to feel)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-04 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
The first time I thought it was an error, but now that this has happened twice... maybe the interference has further reach than we anticipated. Not that it makes sense, and I can't figure out why it would, but... they always come back, too.

[ if you're going to torment someone, why bother sending them back? ]
kumeyuri: (126)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-04 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
They come back, but traumatized and not in one piece. Could be worse, but could definitely be better...
batterypack: (Don't do friends)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-04 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
The real question I have is are they going outside of heaven itself, or is it just a part we can't reach easily? The way they're able to slip in and out so easily is the disturbing part.

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-05 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[NVM GUESS ON TUESDAY WHICH I MIGHT JUST DO ICLY TOO IT'S SAD WE GOT IT MODS THIS DECODER LIED TO FRANCY]

I didn't even think about that... From what I know, though, the first one was based off Jiaoqiu-san and Jing Yuan-san's home, and while I don't know about the second one, someone said they had reason to think it was similar.
batterypack: (Better find another superstition)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-05 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ it sure did. ]

Did they have any speculations whose home it might have been?
kumeyuri: (13)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-05 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[realizes i didn't write that sentence properly ASSUME HE WOULD'VE TOLD ZURIEL]

No, they didn't say.
batterypack: (& maybe I bit off more than I could chew)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-05 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's fine it's fine.

anyway she's just frowning again. ]


It feels... similar to how things go on Sundays now, doesn't it? How things change to reflect places they know, and people they know, but it only affects the two of them.
kumeyuri: (16)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-03-05 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
... Yeah. You think it's the same thing behind both?
batterypack: (And from it she fled)

[personal profile] batterypack 2025-03-05 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm beginning to wonder. [ it's sunday, so. ] We're covering some more ground, but... hopefully we'll have some sort of news for you all tomorrow.
