[she's like, healed now, at least! she's just scarred as fuck. she'll take saya to the casino penthouse, probably, because that's the safest place she can think of. by this point she's also not little anymore she's her usual girl shape, but she does have ace's hat on, so. she's not taking it off.

i'm assigning them sitting on the bed and nimona koala clinging saya into her lap, but she leaves room for saya to move away if she wants.]

Yeah. [she says, quietly.] I think they're still somewhere. I made Ace promise to show us a sign.

[squelching]

[nah, she wouldn't move away. she is just sitting on nimona's lap forever now.]

... I think so, too.

[it may be the only thing keeping her sane right now. losing reigen and ace both in one fell swoop is too much to bear if she can't cling to the notion that they're still around in some shape or form.]

Do you... want to write to Addy? See if one of them gets to respond.

[sharkgirl]

[yeah, nimona too. both reigen and ace being gone feels like having a hole punched out of her that she doesn't know what to do with. she keeps having wild thoughts of just - doing something stupid. something reckless.

she rests her head against saya's, eyes closed.]

Yeah. I tried, once. The fountain exploder one was me. [...] Maybe you can think of something less obvious.

[squelching]

[mood. the urge to go out there and do something awful is there. but she is... also making an effort to not flip out. not while nimona is still alive.]

... I don't know about less obvious. But I've been thinking of asking Addy for advice on how to perform a seance.

[like a cheeky way to ask if they're talking to dead people.]

[sharkgirl]

[there are like two things that are stopping her from killing everybody and it's nico and saya, frankly, which is very funny. maybe hanako a little bit which is the funniest.]

Oh. That's a good idea. [she absently pets saya's hair.] I don't think Reigen could ever resist that one.

[...]

Let's do that. As soon as we can. I need to know.

[squelching]

[the murder teens are out here in a baby leash ouroboros. each one keeping the other from tpking the rest of the game. god.]

Mm, okay. I'll send a letter tonight. If we're lucky, they'll include it in tomorrow's newspaper. But if it isn't... we'll have to wait until Friday again.

[and so many things could happen before then.]

[sharkgirl]

[she nods a little at that, and then:]

I'm going to try to find a way to talk to them. There has to be a way other than just - this way. Someone has to know. [...] Reigen gave you the keys to this place, right?

I live here most of the time, so - I don't care if you hang around.

[squelching]

[she nods because, yes. there has to be a better way to talk to the dead than sending a letter and getting a response not even within the week. like, come on...]

Yeah, he did. [...] I might... spend a little more time here, if you really don't mind. Robin's nice, but — it's not the same. Not without Reigen and Whisper.

[sharkgirl]

Of course I don't mind. [it gets lonely up here sometimes anyway, even with all the rest of the penthouse crew coming in and out.] ... I don't want you to be on your own, anyway. Even with Robin around.
