I was having trouble sleeping, so I went to that strange, crystalline room to be by myself for a while. [ the ??? room. ] While I was there, I saw... something toying with a skull in the darkness.
You heard that scratching noise, along with something hollow, didn't you?
...I think I may have been. [ she'd considered that maybe everyone saw some sign of this strange creature during the night, but now that seems less likely. ] But it hadn't made a move to attack me.
Fair enough. Though if it was that... beast that killed him, I wonder why it chose him and not me.
[ not in the sense that she feels guilty for surviving, because she doesn't, and she doesn't sound it. but was it just the beast's preference? was it restricted in some way? it's all quite strange. ]
It must've been related to that video. [ but grace offers vira a wry smile ] It was never going to be, but I didn't think it'd be something as bad as this.
[ it was hard to imagine that things would get as bad as a broken down skeleton, yeah. ]
Well, I wouldn't have been surprised if someone here killed another person. [ just casually throwing that out there ] But the possibly magical monster stalking us is certainly a surprise.
Right. I thought it'd be someone from Wrath going overboard, not... whatever happened last night. Everything failing, the lack of any sign of a struggle... That's not normal.

Where were you? And what else did you see?

Yeah. Right before we passed out. [ ... ] Were you alone in there? With that thing?

no subject
That seems likely to me, yes.
[ that skittering noise was too familiar to ignore. ]
no subject
What did it look like? Could you see it properly?
no subject
No, unfortunately I couldn't make it out. Just that it seemed to be playing with a skull.
[ gross. ]
And I found no sign of it or the skull in the morning, just these bones.
no subject
[ curfew effect: tamaki's bones ]
no subject
I wouldn't rule out the possibility until we find his body. If we find it.
no subject
[ nom nom nom tamaki ]
no subject
[ she doesn't look that fazed, just a little surprised. grace what kind of life did you have on that train. ]
no subject
Only about as dark as him being killed at all.
no subject

no subject
I don't know. Why only him at all, even? We were all passed out.
no subject
Not to mention how strange it is that we could all be knocked out so easily.
[ she sighs into her coffee. ]
I suppose it couldn't be as easy as 'indulge.'

no subject
[ what is an optimism ]
no subject
Yuel told me she saw blood in the elevator, so perhaps there is more out there to find... but I can't see it myself.
[ just to add to the strangeness of the situation. ]
no subject
This place is messing with our heads. I don't like it.
no subject
[ they'd experienced that firsthand. ]
Did you receive some sort of... 'congwatulations' message as well? [ the timing of which was. not appropriate considering that tamaki is dead. ]
no subject
no subject
[ she sounds tired. as though murder wasn't enough? hello? ]
no subject
I didn't get anything that bad. Why? What did you get?
