[ the puff is appeased by this greeting and sort of ripples inside nico's hood, and he's not at all surprised saya's another one that focuses on the baby first. he's used to it. ]

That's what I thought, too. After how little we've had since arriving here suddenly having access to all of this feels a little...[ the word is "overwhelming", but he doesn't want to use it. ] Busy. But if we're going to be here for a while longer I'll stick with being kind of grateful.

[squelching]

... Yeah. I'm not upset that we have more places to explore now.

[to her, it was getting a little claustrophobic.]

We still have a few more weeks until the competition ends, don't we?

[resumed]

Way too many if you ask me. I think like...five or six? Something like that. If we don't figure out a way to end it early. [ but mm...let him out anyway? please? ] I can only guess this is going to be a weekly thing, too.

[squelching]

Mm... We'll have been here for two entire months by then. [she huffs.] I think so, too. The prinnies finish repairing more areas at the start of every Monday. It's weirdly exact.

[resumed]

Just about. ...but you noticed too, huh? It's like clockwork. Everything here is weirdly scheduled and no matter what else happens the cycle starts again every single Monday. Like we're really just a part of someone else's schedule. I've been wondering what would happen if we stopped the prinnies somehow.

[squelching]

[she hums, considering this.]

Do you have any ideas how we could do that? Kidnapping them didn't work in the capsule hotel. More Prinnies just showed up to rescue them.

[resumed]

I wonder if they'd be open to new jobs. Like maybe if we said we wanted them to do something else and they're orders from the mayor, they might get distracted and focus on that instead.

[squelching]

Hmm... I doubt they'd take our word for it, though. They wouldn't clean up the mess in the capsule hotel at all until Snake asked them to.

[resumed]

[ hm... ]

Maybe we can get some of the leaders to ask? Not all at once so it doesn't draw attention, but a bit at a time.

[squelching]

I bet we could get Mouse to help us. Everyone else is too... responsible.

[resumed]

Mouse would definitely help. They'd probably think it's funny. Maybe Ox or Goat? If we explained what we were doing, maybe they'd understand. Fox, too, if Mouse and Goat are involved.

[squelching]

Hmm... You think so? I haven't spoken to Goat and Ox much, so I don't know what they'd let us get away with.

[rate our npcs on how many disruptions they'd allow.]

[resumed]

To be honest? I'm not sure Goat would have the energy to stop us. Ox might have some other ideas, too, if we asked the right questions.

[squelching]

[... she thinks for a moment.]

Hey, do you know how Ox's power works exactly? They told me a little about it, but...

[she's wondering if it could somehow be useful for this.]

[resumed]

[ hm... ]

I tried to ask, but...they kind of didn't really elaborate. They just said it was a good guess and they didn't seem like they wanted to talk about it so I didn't ask further.

[ but. ]

I guessed that fate detection was like the power of prophecy. But it doesn't sound like it's exactly it.

[squelching]

No, it didn't sound like that to me either. They said they could be in the right place at the right time — like a sixth sense. It's hard to picture how it works, though...

I wonder if they used it when Hanako tried to stab the mayor.

[resumed]

[ he hadn't thought of that. actually, he sort of forgot? we really just let hanako do whatever the hell he wants huh. ]

Like maybe they knew it was going to happen ahead of time, so they were able to be there to stop Hanako from going through with stabbing the mayor? Maybe. I hadn't thought about asking them how often they've had to use their power here.

[squelching]

[hanako was robbed...]

They were the first of the team leaders to react. So I've been wondering about it... If you end up asking them, will you let me know what they say?

[resumed]

[ looks at the week he had w2. but he does nod because he does not have the power of prophecy and doesn't know they will both cyoa soon. ]

Yeah. I can ask them for sure. It might give us an idea of what the leaders are doing to change things around the city in general, too.

[squelching]

[they should have kinned ox harder.]

Okay! Then I'll let you know if I discover anything new, too.
