[Now, Junpei is fairly certain they're all here for some kind of fucked up death game, because why wouldn't the third time be the charm!!— but until some mysterious costumed weirdo starts getting on all the screens and making announcements, there's not that much to go on. He can skulk around town glowering suspiciously at things for long so long.

Sooooo.]

if anybody wants my vote, it's t minus however the hell long before we all start killing each other. would love to be wrong, but if i live long enough to say i told you so, yknow. yippee.

so.

why do *you* think we're here? wrong answers only. top 3 by popular vote get a prize.

[Does he have a prize to hand out... No, no he does not. He will find some cheap garbage in one of the shops and write a 1ST/2ND/3RD PLACE on it, no problem. Eventually. Maybe even a sticker.]

and what do you guys think about picking code names? you know, just in case.

dunno. maybe you're someone important?

we're two students and the most important thing i was doing was putting off writing a paper so i'm not sure how important we'd be in the grand scheme of things. seems just as likely to be boredom and whoever was easy to grab.

[coolerjunpei]

shit, i hope i'm not important. that's the worst thing to be in these places.

you're definitely here because you skipped out on homework, though. then again, i dropped out... it's starting to make sense.

[laidtocrest]

i'd say you're onto something but my friend's a diligent student to a fault. though we were standing pretty close to each other before it happened so maybe that's why: collateral damage, they went to take me for my education crimes and grabbed him in the process.

🐻

[coolerjunpei]

nah, that's not going to be it, or the other 9 people i was with would be here too. but it's just me.

me forgetting to change the default burns, it BURNS, I picked an icon I swear, etc, I blame the bear

[laidtocrest]

yeah, guess not, i'm definitely not the most likely person to end up with dimitri if we're talking about just standing around someone. but it's a nice thought? well maybe not nice but it would explain a lot if it was just you and the five closest people and that's why us.

why those 9 people?

the bear is guilty of many crimes...

[coolerjunpei]

why 5? you have 5 friends?

and they're the 9 people i could have reached out and touched with minimal effort...? there's something else, but it's... complicated. i just mean they would have come with me if they knew.

I'd use bear puns but this isn't a just claws

[laidtocrest]

i got more than 5 friends. it's a number i just came up with. what are you a knight of seiros?

[What is this interrogation?]

i guess it was usually me, two other friends, dimitri, and his friend so that's why? if i had to guess why i thought of 5?

[Why is he- anyway.]

and putting it like that makes it sound like you were in a cult or something or had some kind of 'end up in a city together' pact.

[coolerjunpei]

well, i was making a joke, but thanks for the whole dissertation on it anyway.

i'm not in a cult. i just have a weird group of friends. some of them are friends, anyway.

[laidtocrest]

uh huh. so what are the not friends?

[coolerjunpei]

some dork and his girlfriend.

[Apologies to Eric and Mira, formally, but yeah.]

it's nothing huge...
