[She had enough fear last night, thanks. Though - it's easier to be brave in the light of day, after you've avoided death, than it is in the darkness when you don't know how it may come or from where.]
Whomever is responsible for this... I want to know why they did it.
[Pretty horrible, yeah. Flayn doesn't like thinking about it.]
...yes. Until today, I did not have much reason to distrust... well, most of the people I have met thus far. [...] Did people trust each other, where you were?
Not even a little. Everybody turned on each other, hard! We got told that one of the factions was killing us on purpose and were basically. Evil immortal reapers intent on killing us? And everything just spiraled from there.
And then the evil reapers were just like. A bunch of teens who were being blackmailed into it.
Oh! [Yeah, the, uh, immortal thing. Oops.] No, for that, I was just joking. The first week there, I really got to like these two girls, and they both died. Except it turned out their deaths were faked and they were running the show.
I was just saying you were being nice, and pretending that was suspicious.

Could also be restrictions on how many people can die.

[She looks a little uncomfortable, and brings a hand up to wipe at her brow. Ugh, why does it feel hot out? It's raining.]
...the restriction should have been zero. No one was meant to die.

[He's hot and flushed too, but he's too pissed off to particularly notice it.]
How are you holding up? It's not easy, being back someplace like this.
no subject
[Feverish and angry.]
no subject
[He wasn't expecting that, exactly, from her. But it's good to see.]
They want us beaten down and scared. Let's stay pissed off instead.

What is it about this place...?
[She drops her gaze to the scrunchie on her wrist.]
If there is some kind of inherent danger in our being here that these keep at bay... could that have something to do with what happened last night?
no subject
So my money is on some kinda demons or corruption. That would make sense with the scrunchie thing.

If there were others like that where everyone else came from... I hope that none of them are here.
no subject
[That. Sounds horrible.]
You all seem to mostly trust each other here, don't you?

...is that why you asked if I was a secret mastermind, when we met?

I was just saying you were being nice, and pretending that was suspicious.
no subject
Well... I can assure you that I am nothing of the sort.

I dunno. I've met some pretty cute demons.

I suppose I have never met a demon either... merely read about them. But, evil is not cute.
