...Before you fell asleep? How strange! Was it there when you got locked in?

[commedia]

Yes. But it was...odd! Odd, indeed! So very odd! It would cover the surfaces, and then disappear, and then reappear somewhere else...

[fisherwoman]

But I've been in the kitchen, and I didn't see any blood there...

[She frowns.]

How bizarre.

[commedia]

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.
