How are your wounds?

[ Are you looking a little less crispy? ]

[senjinrouha]

[ he looks just as crispy as before except it's been bandaged. ]

Still there, still hurting.

[malewife]

[ Crispy crispy. ]

You can ask the Watchers to heal you once half of them have situated themselves. [ thinking ] If they would even do that.

[senjinrouha]

They shouldn't have an issue with it. But... I'll heal. They should be keeping an eye on themselves for the moment.

[malewife]

... The Celestials seem to be the self-sacrificing and suffering sort.

[ insults them, but anyway: ]

Did you learn anything useful on your trip?

[senjinrouha]

[ the watchers can hear you. ]

That something messed up this world bad enough the people living here ran underground to avoid it, and now they’re slowly running out of time and space to hide in as humans turned monsters hunt them down?

We found a weird plaque as well, like a grave? [ pretend yuri is saying this: ]

[malewife]

[ Yeah? And he will keep talking shit?

Huh... Weird. ]

This is the only grave that was different?

[senjinrouha]

We didn't see any others. It was like an alcove in a tunnel, and this plaque was there.

[malewife]

I see...

Anything else you found strange?

[senjinrouha]

The monsters that looked like humans until we looked at them through memory glass, and exploded into fire when we killed them?

[malewife]

Only some humans turned into those monsters? While this isn't the first time we see a group damned and another spared, I wonder what they've done to deserve such punishment.

[senjinrouha]

Only some, yeah.

I wish I knew. There was something on a note the group last week had, but whatever they did was obscured.

[malewife]

You mean the one Tsurumaru found around Krankaz? It sounded like they were punished for their hubris.

[senjinrouha]

Sounded like. We don't know for sure.

[malewife]

[ He sighs... ]

The truth will be unveiled as long as we have eternity.

[ I guess. ]

Maybe we will gather together again to talk about our findings.

[senjinrouha]

I don’t think we do. At most, assuming people killed one person a week, we had five months give or take. But now we’ve apparently decided to escalate to three people, so that means even less time.

If we’re after the truth we’re going to have to get it by the neck and shake it loose.

[ … ]

Better than keeping it to ourselves.

[malewife]

... They have the dead somewhere, so there's a possibility this can keep going as many times as these deities wish to see the end of their dispute.

[ The most morbid possibility. Mm.. ]

We'll see.

[ runs to w3 ]
