[Their sweet, sweet normies...]

Mm. [A beat, and then:] Did you talk to him a lot? Atsushi.

[9mon]

Pretty much every week. We're roommates.

He really is a kind person.

[He doesn't think this refraction is Atsushi's fault.]

[slashay]

[Kashuu doesn't, either. The vibe for the refracted is sympathy, more than anything.]

This musta been a pretty rough one, then. I mean - they all are.

[9mon]

[A tired sigh filled with apprehension... What's gonna happen tomorrow?]

It's never easy.

[slashay]

[Goatman........ 2!!!!]

Nah, it never is. ...Keep an eye out for anyone acting weird tonight, okay?

[9mon]

[nomoregoatman]

I will. You too. Be careful?

[slashay]

[Yeah it'll be a new Lisa Frank abomination.]

Mm, I will. ...Thanks, though. Let's do our best tomorrow, too.

[9mon]

[To do what? Not faint?]

Right.

[Pauses.]

Um... also, you said something about a whale?

[Which he's never heard of?]

[slashay]

[Yeah to not faint GOOD LUCK KUMON.]

--Oh, right. [THE WHALE.] Basically, if you spend enough tokens on the gumball thingy, you'll getthis whale icon on your phone. You gotta go talk to a resident after that and once they unlock it, you can trade coins for stuff from home.

[9mon]

[rolls a 3. well i guess he's gonna be curled up and not looking at whatever battle is about to take place.]

Huh... That's a round about way to do something like that. I don't have any powers back home, maybe that's why I haven't seen it.

[slashay]

[SWEET LAD AND HIS BAD TIMES.]

Maybe, yeah? But it can be other stuff, too. Like, that's how I got my sword back.

[9mon]

[resolutely looks away from the fight]

I'm glad you were able to get it back.

[slashay]

--Yeah, me too.

[Though there's a little flicker of guilt, because this had happened before he knew there were potentially life-saving gumballs to be had.]

It's something to keep in mind, anyway. That it's there as an option.

[9mon]

I will.

Thanks for letting me know.

[slashay]

No problem. S'better if we're all on the same page, right?

[9mon]

Yeah, definitely. We know more together than apart.

[slashay]

Mm, exactly! We're all basically just one big team, right?

[9mon]

Yeah. We all wanna know what's happening around here.

[slashay]

Mm... I think we're doing pretty good at keeping important information circulating, at least.

[9mon]

Yeah. That big group discussion this week helped a bunch.

[slashay]

I'm glad we can finally start to talk about stuff a little more openly, too. Like, I couldn't talk about that weird task thing on my phone after that first dream for weeks.

[9mon]

Are you still getting weird tasks?

[slashay]

Nope. They go hand-in-hand with the tattoos. If anyone's getting tasks outside of those, then I haven't heard about it.

[9mon]

The cute little piggy ones?

[slashay]

Nah... I thought it was just the piggies at first, but I think it's all of 'em.
