w4, monday

[silicone]

[ there's a group text! wow! it's first thing in the morning!

it's a picture of a small, non-descript box. inside of it, is a very dark, shiny stone. not unlike what yakumo would always wear. ]

someone left this outside our warehouse.

[captainry]

[ can this morning CHILL. wenzhou is actually fucking awake for once, don't ask, it's not important. ]

Wasn't that the stone that disappeared last?

[metacognition]

[ oh... weh ]

Is it his...? Was there a tag?

[silicone]

[ he waits for both of them to enter the chat before answering: ]

it was yakumo's
the stone he wore was actually embedded in his body
each of them has one as part of their contract as a clan member

[captainry]

So it was just
There?
Did you get a knock or anything if there's no tag?

[metacognition]

I'd ask the Reapers about it.

[silicone]

no knock no tag no name nothing
i came out and it was there in a [ mod voice ] weird mystery box

i was going to actually ask them, yeah
but i figured i'd just
let you guys know

bc if it doesn't end up being from them
then who?

the stone is really special. i have to give it back to him or
just stuff will happen
he might not be able to use his hearing in that ear

[ yakumo's dead and probably is fine anyways bc ug magic but w/e this is a genuine worry for him ]

[silicone]

i have your answer by the way
to what we talked about the other day.

A THOUSAND WRITHING SNAKES FOR HAIR AND SOMETHING THAT ONE LIVES WITH LIKE AN ALBATROSS ROUND THE NECK. I CAN SMELL IT THROUGH WRITHING PINK CONVULSIONS OF FLESH. CIRCLES THAT ARE NOT CIRCLES. THE RAIN OF FROGS ENDED AND THE RAIN OF BLOOD COMES DOWN. HEHASRISEN ASCENDING DESCENSION. FOR THE FIRST TIME, I SEE WE ARE BEING CONSUMED. TECHNO-LIQUID SCREAMING MEAT. A DYING GOD COMING INTO HUMAN FLESH. BLOOD FLOWS WITHIN THE WALLS. CAN YOU HEAR IT?

[ holds his phone up to his face like welt hsr ]

What cursed fucking chainmail are you two getting???

That second one there is
A lot, actually.
Something out of one of our bureau's serial murders, really, and that's not a compliment.

[silicone]

i really really really hate this

i hate this so much i have no clue what the fuck this is

[metacognition]

...

Is that first one Yang Guifei?

[metacognition]

It's like a bad weibo post...
This is the sort of thing that should give you computer viruses.

At any rate.

Yo, President. Tough time for ya. Looks like you should take up smoking like the rest if ‘em since the drinking seems to be dry. Or do you pay ta get yours from a bootlegger?

from user TREASUREHUNTER:
"touch grass" is not an insult towards gamers, rather it is advice for them. When participating in intense periods of gaming, the human hand has a tendency to get sweaty. The sweat causes the hand to become slick, and it b becomes more difficult to retain a grip on the gamers gaming mouse, thus making it more difficult to perform well in intense gaming moments. By touching grass with the gamers hand, the grass will impart a layer of particulate onto the gamers hand, the particulate can be made of a variety of dusts, dirts and other natural matter. This particulate will then act in a similar form to climbers chalk, absorbing the sweat and drying out the gamers hand. With dry hands, the gamer can now perform to their maximum when gaming. This is why when an enemy or teammate tells you to touch grass, they are simply trying to assist you in performing better.

weird names

[captainry]

Hear me out, after that double dead bullshit.
TREASUREHUNTER - Shenhe, maybe? She went running after the treasure in the basement last Wednesday.

[captainry]

Kazuki got some, too.
I've asked him to forward them to me. He gave me a summary.

There's this weird theme of weddings or horror stories? One of them was going on about a cheater, another said their fiancee's missing, mine was asking about music recs for the party afterward. There were others too, but they don't make a ton of sense?

A couple of them looked like they went together, too but it's still incomplete - the one talking about the missing fiancee. It's like - there are trials, but there's hope. Then it cuts off, and the other one picks up with telling us to persevere and we'll find...

Something. It cuts off mid-sentence, just like the other one.

[metacognition]

Ask him about the usernames.

[silicone]

this is super weird but

i'm down to figure out even more about this now
this means so many things. for all of us.

a little later

[metacognition]

Nahri got two.
Usernames are "gorgeous" and "saintpetronilla" respectively.

Her first message was

You don't really need to read it. I'll protect her privacy in this case, but we can put it safely in the category of chain letters. However, the first line of it was: "A girl....and a gamer?"
It matches with mine.

The second was sweeter and more simple. Like my first.

[silicone]

huh

wasnt there another saint too in the last batch of messages?

saintmochelloc

[captainry]

Yeah, there was, to TBD.

[captainry]

These are too many usernames for how many people have died. Multiple "accounts," maybe? Thematic for who they're being sent to and what the contents are?

[metacognition]

Maybe.

wife, huxian, god, edwardcullen, sweetie, bigbaby, motherelmo, saintmochelloc, gorgeous, saintpetronilla, windroars, solostage, treasurehunter.

Saint Petronilla's message was relatively normal. Gorgeous was the one that was odd.
My own from 'momvibes' was fairly normal. I wonder if they're in pairs.
