Plurk paste

ZELOS: one of the rounder pieces of candy begins to roll to the centre of the room
HINATA: ???
TAKAO: the candy begins bouncing in place
HINATA: Do you see that? / FAIZE: I...do, yes but...how is that... / ALISHA: A spirit...? / POLAND: Should we capture it for questioning? / ROXY: It probs was jelly of all the kissing games.
YOUKO: the candy doesn't go beyond the boundaries of an area close in size to that of an A4 page
FAIZE: ???
POLAND: Wait- wait. I have a plan. ...never have I ever been a ghost.
HINATA: Poland!
ALISHA: I think it's too small to be drinking legally!!
INABA: But the ghost is fucking dead.
HINATA: ...I think like, half of us are underage already, you know!
POLAND: We're in fake Lithuania where the drinking age is none so-- when in fake Lithuania do as the fake Lithuanians do!
HINATA: Someone, uh... check for wires or something.
FAIZE: Well there aren't wires of any kind that I can find. So it would seem as though Alisha's assumption may be correct. It may be some manner of spirit...
YOUKO: あ　い　う　え　お
HINATA: Wait, hang on... A, I, U, E, O -- That's Japanese, that's the first five letters of the alphabet.
INABA: Why the fuck is it in Japanese?!
POLAND: Well. It's a hotel. People from all over stay in hotels. And die in hotels apparently.
HINATA: Why and when would a Japanese person come to... somewhere like this, though? That's quite a trip. Or why would someone from here know Japanese and try to communicate with us in it?
POLAND: Ooh oh! Maybe it's one of our dead people!
TAKAO: [YEAH]
FAIZE: Is that...perhaps meant to be a nod?
TAKAO: [YEAH]
FAIZE: 8O
INABA: That would mean that it would either be Takao, Makise, and Mikazuki for sure... maybe Kaguya.
ALISHA: ... Can you spell out your name?
HINATA: Can you spell out your name? In hiragana or katakana, I think kanji might be hard to read like this.
YOUKO: A L L
INABA: Guys... it's saying that it's everyone.
POLAND: Oh snap.
CLOVER: Holy crap?! If one of you is screwing with us it's seriously not funny!
HINATA: Wait, how is this even possible? Are you in the room with us?
TAKAO: [YEAH]
INABA: I do wonder if we can communicate with it... do you think if I drew an ouji board, that would work?
TAKAO: [YEAH]
INABA: That's definitely a yes. Just. Give me a second. There. Now you can roll the candy onto the letters instead of writing it out.
YOUKO: T H A N K Y O U
INABA: You're... welcome?
YOUKO: T A K E S E N E R G Y
HINATA: Then... what's most important for us to know? For you to tell us?
YOUKO: Y N Q S 1 S T /// E A S I E R /// S A V E E N E R G Y
ALISHA: ... Yes or no... questions? ... Are you here to warn us about something?
TAKAO: [unsure]
FAIZE: Is there something you need us to do then, perhaps?
ZELOS: [sheepish candy] W E H A V E I N F O R M A T I O N
FAIZE: Ah. Does it pertain to why we are here? Or is it about this town itself?
TAKAO: YES
HINATA: Then... is there a way to stop this "game" before only seven people are left?
TAKAO: ?
HINATA: Then... has something like this ever happened before?
[NO ANSWER]
HINATA: Can you... go into anyone's room, or just mine?
POLAND: Hinata-- don't waste questions on being a weenie, who knows how many we get!
YOUKO: E V E R Y W H E R E
POLAND: Stay out of my bathroom! VEGETA.
HINATA: What was that about wasting questions on being a weenie?
POLAND: That's not a question. That's an order.
VEGETA: G O T O H E L L
HINATA: ...I guess that confirms it's Vegeta, at least.
POLAND: ^_^
CLOVER: Oh my god, screw off! Can you put literally anyone else in charge of the candy?!
ZELOS: [about to write an insult - then, after a brief struggle] S I S U C A G O N E
CLOVER: The hell do you mean, gone? Are you out of people to babysit you?
HINATA: What?! G-gone where? What do you mean?
MORRIGAN: W O R M S
HINATA: D:
ALISHA: Could it be... because her manner of death wasn't caused by someone brought here? You've never seen her spirit?
MARISA: D A N G E R O U S H E R E
CLOVER: —oh. ...How much worse off can you get from dead?
POLAND: Oh great. There's more to look forward to.
ZELOS: H A L F D E A D B S
FAIZE: How can you possibly be only "half dead"? That's impossible.
CLOVER: Half dead...? But those were, like, definitely corpses. I know what a dead person looks like. Oh my god, I'm not sober enough for this.
INABA: Maybe it's because their spirits are still here, or something like that.
[inaba + clover: http://hopefragment.dreamwidth.org/5549.html?thread=188333#cmt188333]

INABA: Have you guys been watching this whole thing from the beginning?
TAKAO: N I C E C A K E
INABA: You should thank Lucy and Clover for that.
CLOVER: That was us! We made the cookies and stuff too!
INABA: By the way... Is it possible for us to summon you guys again or is this a one time thing?
KAWARA: L A T E R T I R E D

ALISHA: Is... is there a way to save you?
MORRIGAN: UNSURE
ALISHA: Are you still in danger?
ZELOS: UNSURE
ALISHA: Have you had any contact with the woman who came to get Lady Morrigan? Or--
KAWARA: L A T E R T I R E D
ALISHA: ...Understood. But rest assured, we will get to the bottom of this.

MARISA: N O T J U S T U S
HINATA: Huh?! Do you mean... the people in the town? Are they there with you?
KAWARA: O T H E R S B 4 U S
HINATA: People who've been trapped in this game before?! Were they able to... did seven of them actually get to go home in the end?
TAKAO: N O G A M E
HINATA: Well, yeah, I mean, it's not a real game by anyone sane's standards, but... Unless you mean... are there people who were killed and ended up trapped here because of something else?
KAWARA: YES
HINATA: ...Don't tell me this is like the plot from a horror movie where a bunch of ghosts are lonely and kill people just to get company... right? Are these "others" the ones who organized this game?
TAKAO: NO!!!
FAIZE: So they're "on our side" then, I suppose? [Hm.] You never answered whether or not the others were the previous inhabitants of this town or not, unless I am simply misunderstanding. Is Marta there with you?
TAKAO: NO.
FAIZE: This would be so much easier if you could speak through one of us instead of a piece of candy. Or at least use a pen. But alright, if they are neither inhabitants of the town, members of a "game" similar to ours, nor the ones who organized this game, then...who does that leave? The woman who took Morrigan away?
KAWARA: [pause] 1 S T K I D N A P P E D
FAIZE: Just to be certain...do you mean they were kidnapped in the same manner as us? They weren't forced into one of these "games" as we have been, but they were still brought here from other universes?
KAWARA: L A T E R T I R E D
FAIZE: Right, you said communicating in this way can be drainingy. Well, it isn't as though you don't know where to find us later. Rest well.
HINATA: Hey... if you can't say anything more for now, that's fine, but... We'll figure something out. None of us deserved to be in this kind of situation, so... we'll solve the mystery of this place and... find a way for us all to get out. Take care of yourselves, okay?
TAKAO: O YA SU MI
