[he doesn't find estinien intimidating at all i don't know how to explain it. aymeric is friend-shaped
but he'll smile a bit at that - he does like being relied upon, ultimately. it's not like roxana thought about cutting his hand off the other day or anything.]
... do you think that's something that's going to be in question, then? That soon people will stop being able to survive here?
buzen seems thoughtful about that, like he's thinking about something. his gaze turns a little sharper, just for a second, before he sighs and some of the edges smooth out again.]
... right. Humans will do a lot of things pretty rashly.
[ . . . ]
At least we can keep resources pretty plentiful. That should slow things a bit, until we can figure out how to get out.
Right? I can't tell you how relieved I was! I wasn't sure if Verdant and Shale-san could keep feeding everyone at the rate we were going...!
[he's so preoccupied with rations at all times]
I've been thinking about that - with the locations. If we end up getting the hot spring or something, it'd be really sad if it was dangerous... but I wouldn't be surprised if we'd have to clean it up first.
[though there is almost a pout in his voice. please. his hot spring,, he's gotten familiar with showers but it's not ideal,]
And I don't know how doing all this to make the Prism bigger will let us go home...
You Verdants would work yourselves until you expired.
[ She shakes her head. It's terrible how much they care. Do any of them know what a break is?
She laughs a little at the almost pout she hears in his voice. ]
I think the effort we put in over the past few days should be enough to give you a serviceable hot spring from the start. Everything we're doing is an activity to make our stay here better. Longer.
[ When suspicious tunnels don't make things questionable as hell. ]
That's probably true. Everyone else in there really works hard....
[he'll just agree with it.... it's the vibe in verdant to just want to help a lot.]
Even if it's not, I'll put in work to clean it up... Seriously Ro-san, I don't want to be here that long but as long as we are, I'll take a hot spring.
But I'd work about three times as hard if they'd just tell us how to leave.
Mm! [an affirmative nod] Our Citadel has something like that. It's a lot more comfortable, and way more relaxing.
.... I was wondering that too. I asked Shale-san about it... and they said that to them, it feels like normal forgetfulness. I didn't want to press too much but I was thinking... Is it even possible to know what you... don't know? [he tilts his head] Like if they were being tampered with, how could we even get through to them?
We'd have to take them out of what was tampering with them. The tunnel, for you. The Prism, for them.
[ That's her guess. She could be wrong, and it could be irreversible because memories are hard to quantify and qualify, but... that's one possible solution. ]
Maybe the shock will let them remember what once was. Memories are different for everyone.
I heard that from Shale as well, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. There's a first time for everything, and even if we're not the first, you don't need to be first to be successful.
[ She isn't sure how to find out more about the Prism yet either, but... ]
As long as we can take a step, that's a step in a direction.

She went from thinking about cutting his hand off, and now she's holding onto his arm and leaning on him a little as they walk. ]
I think in any situation where a number of people are gathered and can't leave, things can get volatile. It's human nature.
[ But it's also more ingrained in her to think the worst of people than the best. ]

It was a boon when the new accommodations came.
[ She'd expect the murder mystery to be more real, if things stayed awful. ]
We'll have to hope no one gets any more affected by prism effects. Who knows what the prism will introduce to us next?

[ Is that something common for swords? It's a little strange to think of it that way. ]
I'd do anything to find a way to leave. I have to wonder, if maybe once they did know how to leave, but they don't know anymore.

Shale-san that things don't tend to leave the Prism. Which brings us a little bit back to Step One, doesn't it?
