[and it's straight back to steely resolve, eyes narrowing]

He has to be somewhere. I won't rest until we find him.

[midnight: haha!]

[unfriendliest]

We'll find him. He has to know we'll be looking for him, after what happened last time.

[coastal]

[ . . . she'll turn away from the others, just so only kara can really catch her expression, voice lowering]

... he has to, doesn't he? So why is he putting us through this stupid farce? I'm really not going to forgive him.

[unfriendliest]

He's probably just trying to find a way to surprise us.

[ i'm gonna have to take francy out for making me say that when tsuru is tutorial AGAIN ]

He didn't have to do this last time, so it's probably not on purpose.

[coastal]

He should have more sense than this....

[ . . . . ugh. she's getting irritated, but there's no use talking about him. it doesn't help them find him. but after glancing at the others, hearing their talks of them being the ones in a difficult position still being awake,

she'll claim his less dominant hand with hers]

... I trust you.

[to do whatever needs to be done]

[unfriendliest]

He should, but he lets himself get distracted sometimes. You know that.

[ when she takes his hand, kara glances at the others and lowers his voice. ]

If someone is corrupted, I'll do whatever I can to stop them.

[coastal]

[even if she DOES know that she can still HATE IT and KNOCK TSURU OUT TOMORROW

but.]

... mm. I know. And if you're corrupted, I'll do whatever I can to be the one to stop you.

[no one gets to break kara but lili]

However, if Yin Yu was awake in his cabin - I wonder if it's possible for all of us to be suffering the same fate, unless his roommates will be turning on him. [NOT IMPOSSIBLE BUT] It's a bit uncanny, right?

[unfriendliest]

I know you will. And Tsuru will help, when we find him.

[ that is something to consider, though... why was yin yu awake? why did the doors lock? and this many targets...? kara shakes head. ]

It's too many at once. The corruption's never gone this far before.

[coastal]

Right. So while I think we can stand to be prepared [and as a result, she's more or less going to be at kara's side for the rest of the night] I don't think that it's immediately a death sentence.

Still, we should be cautious moving forward. Something is happening.

But if we're awake, it means we can do something about it.

[unfriendliest]

As long as it doesn't happen somewhere inside. We'll definitely help, if we can.

[fishingforcompliments]

[Oh - Flayn's eyes widen somewhat at the sound of Yin Yu's name, and she lets out a small sigh of relief. At least he's safely indoors.

But Tsurumaru being nowhere to be found is deeply concerning, and she nods.]

We will find him. He cannot have gone far.

[coastal]

That idiot really might've been trying to scare someone, or he just really wanted more of those inane snacks of his.

[she's SIGHING]

I'm surprised he's not making some kind of racket...

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[she cups her hands around her mouth and calls out]

TSURUMARU! IF YOU ARE OUT HERE, SAY SO AT ONCE! WE WILL BE INCREDIBLY SURPRISED IF YOU DO!

[chaoticlootral]

Oh yes just yell and let the murderers know exactly where we are! Hasten death that much more quickly! Love it.

[fishingforcompliments]

[



this is the face of someone who didn't even consider that]

[chaoticlootral]

I suppose it doesn't matter . . . They always seem to end up finding you anyway!

[fishingforcompliments]

[lili is covering her mouth no so this comes out sort of muffled]

M'sry...

[chaoticlootral]

[Well, he feels a little guilty if he freaked her out now--]

Listen, Magnus is really good with that axe, but don't tell him I said that.

[He's standing like right there.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[now not no... why can't i type



Lili has released her mouth so she can talk again. Flayn lowers her voice to a whisper.]

Your secret is safe with me, Chef Taako.

[coastal]

[



lili takes out her fabric gloves from the fanny pack she wears like a satchel and

claps her hand over flayn's mouth]

Maybe don't.

[fishingforcompliments]

Mmph—!

[SILENCED.

but from the look on her face she realizes she fucked up.]

[coastal]

[lili waits a few beats pass, like she's listening for anything. she looks toward magnus, kara, and dimitri as if to watch them for what they'll do -

and then lets out a breath, removing her hand]

Be more cautious. Stay close to me. I'll protect you.

[fishingforcompliments]

No! If anyone finds us, it will be because I was careless, so... I shall protect you, Lili.

[flayn will absolutely throw herself in front of lili if push comes to shove]

I am sorry.

[coastal]

[she rolls her eyes at that]

Don't apologize - only do what you can to keep yourself safe. You didn't bring a weapon with you, right?

So you have to keep yourself close to the rest of us.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[she nods]

You are correct, I did not - but I have been practicing disarming techniques this week. If anyone approaches us with a weapon, please leave it to me.
