TAKSHAKA and AMALTHEA

[soulping]

The walls of the hedge maze close in around you. Before you is a single stone table covered in quill pens and several sheets of parchment. Even if you normally cannot read or write, for the time being, you find that you can.

You could say that again. I think the rest of my team would appreciate it, too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthemackerel]

Probably.

. . . You might see memories with me in them. Gull is from my world.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hopefullybetter]

Really? That's... kind of cool, actually.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthemackerel]

[ also worrisome ]

There's also someone on Dawon that we know.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hopefullybetter]

[no one's specifically told him about trauma games yet 8(]

There is? Who is it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthemackerel]

[ this is why your team sucks ]

His name is Sakura here. You'll know him as Rin in Gull's memories.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hopefullybetter]

[no most of them are new and also the oldest one looked like i had kicked her puppy for a bit]

Alright. I guess I'll keep an eye out for him, too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthemackerel]

[ well, that, too ]

Has your team told you much about games?

[ since... you've never been in them... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[hopefullybetter]

Not really, aside from them being how we get our memories and skills back.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthemackerel]

You weren't told about the trauma games or allies?

Re: DISCUSSION

[hopefullybetter]

... No? Nightingale said it's not always safe, but I just figured that's because of why we're even here in the first place.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthemackerel]

[ pauses ]

There are some games where people can be maimed or die as a part of the game mechanic or punishments after. There was a ban for a while, but it was recently broken.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hopefullybetter]

[. . . oh.]

[he pauses, trying to figure out how to process that, because—how do you process that?]

That's—That's good to know. I mean, it's not good, but. . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthemackerel]

It's good information to know. The last trauma game was set in a maze, so...

[ glancing around, that's why he's tense ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[hopefullybetter]

. . . That explains some things, then. The sooner we finish this up, the sooner we can get out of here.

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthemackerel]

It should be fine. I think.
