...You think that's what's going to happen?

[Bad!! After a few moments, though, she hands everything back to him.]

As expected, I got nothing.

[Into his pockets it goes.]

...have you talked to Dick yet? About what happened yesterday. We weren't sure which of us was going to run into you first.

[After a moment, she nods.]

Hard to look him in the eyes knowing it might be there... Right?

[A nod.] Take something like that into account, plus the things we saw and heard, and that little announcement on Monday.

It's too much evidence to only be coincidental, don't you think?

Maybe. Okay, probably, but...

[She sighs.]

It's just... hard to think about. The recording on Monday said something about not making the mistakes they did, right? So - maybe we'll be able to stop that from happening in the first place.

The recording also said everyone started turning on each other after the first week. We're starting to run out of time.

[Ah. The real reason he isn't outright trusting everyone.] I'm all for stopping bodily possession and mind control, but...we don't really know how yet. Unless sex is the answer somehow. [There's a smirk.] Like if the body's already busy, it can't take the time to be possessed or something.

Just because they did, doesn't mean we have to. And... I get the feeling that'll be tougher if we don't at least try to trust each other.

[She pauses for a moment, surprised, before she laughs

and her nose starts bleeding. It doesn't look like she's noticed yet.]

Right, yeah. The obvious solution. You're a real romantic.

You don't have to be romantic-- [He's about to say something on the subject of trust and sex and all of the in between but uh. Hm. Problem?]

Uh. Beck? You...[He motions to her face as if that's going to clarify she's bleeding.]

[She blinks, touching her face once she notices that gesture, and pauses once she pulls her hand away and sees the blood on her fingers.]

...Okay, so that's happening.

[He'll just try to find something to stop the bleeding? He guesses? Uhhhh.

Yeah he hands her a sticky note from his pocket. Oops.]

You wanna tell me what's going on and what happened this morning? [Does he assume they're connected? Yes.]

[That's fine. She'll just hold this sticky note up to her nose.]

It's not like I was avoiding telling you...

[Anyways.]

I got one of those messages to go to the break room. We had to play strip blackjack.

[Well hopefully that helps, sorry about your nose Beck. But. Hm.]

...do you even know how to play? [There's almost a grin in his tone because Beck doesn't seem like the gambling type.] Who was on your team?

Even if I didn’t, there were rules there.

[Just keeping it nice and vague. She has to take out her clamshell, because she didn’t get their names, oops.]

Um, Edelgard and Kanesada.

[He's only briefly spoken to Edelgard, but his eyebrows lift a bit at Kanesada's name.]

Okay...so strip Blackjack with three players. Who won?

[There’s a short pause, before she shakes her head.]

...Four players. There was - someone else in there dealing. He won, I think, but - we got something anyways.

[...he'll come back to that.]

What'd you get?

...Pretty sure it was a water gun shaped like a dildo.

[She hates it, thanks.]

....[Sorry, he just busts up laughing bye. It's not even that funny? It's just a little funny because everything is so stupid.]

[She grins despite herself, reaching out to shove at him.]

Shut up.

[No!! He's working on getting the laughter under control even when she shoves him. ] Wait so it's actually a gun shaped like a dick that sprays liquid. Does anybody else think maybe this game wasn't worth it?

[...but anyway. ] The lack of subtlety continues. You mentioned a fourth player though. You saw someone else?

It definitely wasn’t worth it.

[Ugh.]

...Yeah. It was a lot different than the person I saw in the recording studio. Everyone could see him, and he didn’t disappear after a second.

...what'd he look like? [This sounds Weird.]

It’s weird. I couldn’t actually see, for some reason he was really shadowy... But I felt like it was someone I knew. But that’s... impossible.

What makes it so impossible? Have you looked at where we are? [A wave of his hand.] This place seems to excel at being impossible.

No, I... think it must have been some kind of illusion, or a vision of something that wasn’t really there. Not really him.
