[ she nods ]

Very well. [ ... ] May I ask what exactly happened in there?

[soba]

Well... we got in. Jin Ling kind of blew up the door with dynamite. But we ended up in some place with a lot of snows and trees? There was a sled that was attached to some magical dogs, and we started riding it until we reached a cliff with a bridge.

[ he grimaces. this is where everything goes Wrong ]

Jin Ling, one of the dogs, and I fell off the cliff and into a river. We ran into a shark but somehow managed to handle that? But... since we were separated from the others, I'm not entirely sure what they were doing. When we finally caught up to them, they were in the middle of this huge battle near a castle. We tried to regroup with them, but right as we made it to where they were... Anya was stabbed by a soldier.

[ ... ]

She was too badly injured. We couldn't do anything.

[cluedin]

[ there is definitely a moment where it looks like she's going "why the fuck was there a magical snow place in a CLOSET" but she lets toi talk without interrupting, lips pursed in thought ]

I see... That is unfortunate. [ like. an understatement, but she sounds like she means it, at least? ] At least you managed to bring the body back.

[soba]

Yeah... we had to go on a chase for it though. Some monster grabbed her body and flew away?

[ TOI NEVER RECEIVED THE WAR PLOT HE HAS NO IDEA WHO THE FUCK THAT WAS ]

[cluedin]

[ what the fuck ]

It ... flew away with her? Why? [ what the fuc ] How did you catch up to it?

[soba]

The dogs. We also kind of, shot her down?

[ ... ]

Because it turned out the monster turned into a woman? I seriously have no idea what the backstory there was.

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

I'm afraid I do not have the slightest clue.

[ she has never sounded more baffled ]

[soba]

So, nothing like this happened during previous stays?

[ this is bullshit ]

[cluedin]

No. I can't say it has. [ she pauses, hesitating, but: ] I believe some of the differences may be do to something specific to your group.

[soba]

Something specific to us...?

I know we're a bigger group than usual, or is it something else?

[cluedin]

[ she shakes her head ]

Yes, I believe the size of your group influences a lot of the things happening at this time.

[soba]

Huh... I wonder why that would matter?

[ the number of people makes a difference...... hm hmm ]

[cluedin]

[ softly; ]

An excellent question. [ but she shakes her head ] Still, I would advise against breaking into a locked room again.

[soba]

... I don't think I'll be much good in them.

[ he

he is very injured ]

[cluedin]

Your usefulness is not what I am concerned about in that case, sir.

[ stop breaking into rooms ]

[soba]

Sorry about the mess?

[cluedin]

It is nothing I can't handle.

[ there have been ... worse messes... ]

[soba]

... but I think that as long as there are locked rooms, people are going to break in.

Even with what happened to us.

[cluedin]

Even knowing how dangerous they are?

[soba]

When people want answers, they'll do a lot of stupid and dangerous things.

[cluedin]

Is that why your group went in? For answers?

[soba]

Mm. Other people found useful items, too, so...

[ he does not know if it was worth it ]

[cluedin]

So you made a choice to go in.

[ she won't ask if that choice paid off! considering! ]

[soba]

... yeah.

I was expecting to be like... a room. Not that.

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

Understandable. I was surprised when guests did not see the rooms as they were last week, as well. I believe it doubtful anyone will reach where you were again.
