When were you in the kitchen? Today? There was no blood there when we awoke, so...I'm not surprised.

[fisherwoman]

I wonder if the simulations spread just beyond that room, honestly... That seems like an easy way to explain it.

[commedia]

Perhaps, but...

[GESTURES AT THEMSELVES???]

This is no simulation.

[fisherwoman]

I guess not.

[She frowns.]

Still, for that much blood to come from one person...

[commedia]

Maybe it wasn't a person? Sometimes one could sacrifice an animal to get the same effect. But ahhh...who knows! This is all rather upside-down. We've been thrown into quite the chaos, haven't we?

[fisherwoman]

Sacrificing an animal? What a strange indulgence.

[She nods, though, frowning.]

It would be one thing if the Avatars would talk to us... But conveniently, they won't answer.

[commedia]

Ah, they seem quite flippant about all of this. Possibly they were just biding their time until something like this would happen. There wasn't any concern in those messages, did you notice?

[fisherwoman]

They did seem pretty playful! I wonder if they're pleased this happened.

W0 SATURDAY POST TRIAL

[commedia]

Mmmm. How troublesome, how troublesome...

[Someone seems to be murmuring to themselves as they head to ??? room.]

...Endorsi? [They stop when they realize she's there already.] Ah. What brings you here, hm?

aaaaaa i never hit enter

[fisherwoman]

[She glances their way as she puts her hands on her hips, sighing.]

I guess it’s too much to ask for, but I wondered if I’d see anything related to what Vira mentioned. With the creature holding the skull.

[commedia]

The skull? Ah, yes. That was an odd point. And something that was never quite resolved.

[A curious look.]

Have you seen anything?

[fisherwoman]

[She shakes her head.]

I haven't... I guess that would be too easy. Ahh, how frustrating!

[fisherwoman]

Hm? Well, humans have a similar lifespan where I'm from... You're right that I'm not, though.

[She nods, but:]

It's nothing I'm not capable of.

[commedia]

[Humans living for that long? My, how wonderful other worlds are.]

You sound very confident. And with that strength, you should be!

[commedia]

It is...alas.

[And a hum.]

I wonder if it was a spell or ritual that went on last night. A skull being used for such a thing would make sense.

[fisherwoman]

It could be! Honestly, there are two main possibilities I can think of... One is that the skull was used to get into her room and take that staff of hers to frame her. The other is that it compelled her to do all this, and then made her forget about it.

[She sighs.]

I doubt the Avatars will tell us either way. I'll still ask, though.

[fisherwoman]

[She laughs.]

Being shy or modest is pointless, don't you think?

[commedia]

[A huff.]

Well, it might have its strengths...but enough about me, enough about me! Tell me what other feats you can do!

[commedia]

What, the skull compelled her? Mmmm. I can't say that isn't a bad theory, if the skull itself was possessed...

[But oh well. Theories upon theories upon theories...]

I will ask, as well. By the by...which Avatar is yours?

W2 DAY 3

[commedia]

[Hey, Endorsi! Hi! Nice to see you! The clown is not having a good day! This is judging by how they're...well, slumped over the counter of the kitchen?]

[They're clearly not dead, because they just let out a pitiful groan.]

I want this all to end...

[fisherwoman]

[...She just watches for a long moment, deciding if she cares enough to ask, before:]

Nobody stabbed you or anything, right?

[commedia]

No.

[And a grumble.]

Though I think I would prefer that to this, hm!

[fisherwoman]

Oh? Would you like me to accommodate that?

[She's teasing, at least.]

[commedia]

I like a little pain as much as anyone, but...

[Mmmm, no.]

What are you doing here? Don't you know about this abysmal curse we're under?

[fisherwoman]

[She sighs.]

I still have things to do, you know! I can't just not eat.
