week zero, tuesday.

[squelching]

[they are at (throws dart) the university library! for some reason. saya is going through the research materials, frowning.]

There's not a lot about the city...

[unsync]

[ We love being n*rds! ]

Oh! Saya, hi. I didn't expect to see you here.

[ This is not a read on her, he would be surprised to run into anyone. ]

You're trying to read up on Oceanside?

[squelching]

[ryuki is just out there surprised to exist... i see...

she nods, glancing at him for a second before scooting over a little so he can look at the research materials with her. most of it is just about the weather.]

It's weird. I thought I could find out more about Oceanside's history, or the fight that happened before we were brought here, but...

[unsync]

[ Sometimes you just forget to exist is all. He will politely scooch closer so he can peer at the papers. ]

But... you can't find any? Do you think they're considered something like classified material that we need to get special archive access for?

[squelching]

I don't know. But why would basic information like that be classified? [it's history??? she hums.] I wonder if we could get away with sitting in on a university lesson...

[unsync]

...Sometimes, if a place wants to rebrand from something that happened in the past, that information might be sealed away so nobody can have those preconceived notions.

It's like wiping the slate blank...

[ Which sounds ominous at best for their city. ]

...A university lesson could be fun!

[squelching]

[HELP. the whiplash between how ominous that sounds and then yay university!]

If we sit in on a history lesson, we might get a better idea of what's going on. [...] But is it really possible for a whole city to wipe the slate clean like that?

[unsync]

[ An average conversation with Ryuki honestly. Or any AINI character. ]

It's been done before, or at least attempted. A lot of places and people have nasty pasts that they want to hide, and if they have the power or resources to do it, then they just might.

...Lies can't stay covered up forever, though. Where there's a lie, there's always an inconsistency.
