Does it... do anything?

[evocationary]

Other than taste like processed garbage? No, I don't think so.

[recrowns]

Or the bag - it doesn't do anything?

[evocationary]

Nope. Just a regular bag with a lollipop and star stickers in it. I am - honestly not sure why they gave it to us.

[recrowns]

I see.

[he thinks this is dumb but he's too polite to say so]

Shiro received something as well - so he may also be on Wolf's team. Wouldn't tell me what it was though.

[evocationary]

[ she also thinks it's dumb but she thinks it goes without saying ]

Can I not, like, have one person I like on my team? [ whiiine. ] Did you get - actually, did you do the little... nova thing, the nova collection thing on Wednesday?

[recrowns]

Oh - well it's not confirmed. I don't know if the top three teams maybe get something?

[he tilts his head]

The thing where I killed a shark?

[HIS 20 DICE ROLL]

[evocationary]

You - did what.

[ WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU KILLED A SHARK ]

[recrowns]

I was with Chad [not his name] and we went to the Virtual Room and had to capture a shark. He was riding it like a wild horse and needed help, so I threw a harpoon.

[evocationary]

[ definitely his name ]

That is the raddest thing I've ever heard. [ SHATTLE...... 2 also she just grabs his face with her cold hands ] I'm so proud of you.

[recrowns]

[oh

HE SMILES AT THAT]

Thanks! It was fun. Never got to do that before.

[evocationary]

Don't, uh, don't do it again, because I can only take so many times of you like, nearly dying, but really. Rad.

[ anyway ] I forgot what I was going to ask you, you blinded me with the shark news.

[recrowns]

Was it about the stone I got?

[HE'LL HELP]

[evocationary]

[ THANKS BRO ]

Oh - yeah. What does it do?

[recrowns]

Put someone in debilitating pain for up to two hours.

[which

super fucking sucks]

[evocationary]

[ oh. wow, that's real rude ]

Huh. Mine makes someone a "great coward" for like, twenty-four hours. Talk about wildly different.

[recrowns]

[he nods at that]

... people might lie about what theirs do in the future. It could prove difficult.

[evocationary]

Oh, for sure, I wouldn't be surprised. Someone's going to use them for murder.

[recrowns]

Time to work quickly and see if we can learn what enough of them do so that if it comes to that, it's easier to find them.

[a beat]

I wonder if the rocks break upon use? We should ask.

[evocationary]

I'll add that to the list of questions I have for Wolf. They're gonna be sick of me.

I'll ask around, but I think, uh - I think our circle sort of overlaps.

[recrowns]

[he offers up a smile]

Where are our gaps? I'll look into it.

[he

thinks he can get along with everyone]

[evocationary]

[ she squints. ]

Uhh - well, I don't do super well with the wibbly sad protagonist kids. [ so like, hikaru, ochako, maybe homura idk ] The tsunderes and dumbass old men are more my forte.

[recrowns]

Hansa can ask Hikaru if she won't tell me.

[he's going to use his fucking circle or god help him]

Ochako may be... difficult, but I will try to close the gap between us anyway - there's something I need to speak with her about.

Does Usagi count? Usagi will tell me most anything I ask. At the very least, the types that you don't get along with seem to be the ones who would be honest anyway.

[evocationary]

Usagi pushed me in a river. [ she did not stop telling people that ] So you can have her.

[ ... ] Don't push yourself too hard with Ochako.

[recrowns]

Did she?

[that doesn't

sound like usagi?

but he'll just offer up a smile]

... it's alright. We need to chat - I'm worried she's blaming herself over me.
