[ she's fucking

squinting ]

... were you with Shinobu?

[fishingforcompliments]

[yep. turnips.

she keeps glancing out the cabin in the direction of the farmlands, a little fidgety, like she doesn't feel like she should be sitting still]

Yes, Shinobu and I were together.

[vigilantics]

Ah.

[ makes sense. ]

I was at the lake.

[fishingforcompliments]

[another glance in the direction of the farmlands]

...how are you feeling? Last week, I was feverish after being by the bonfire... I hope being by the lake did not cause you to catch a chill.

[vigilantics]

[ she shakes her head. ]

There's this annoying song stuck in my head. Something definitely happened at the lake.

[fishingforcompliments]

[oh. hmm, that's worrying.



flayn sincerely hopes that yu didn't drown out there! drowned bodies are gross.]

What does the song sound like...?

[vigilantics]

A sailor went to sea, to see what he could see, but all that he could see, was at the bottom of the deep blue sea...

There's also something in the water.

[recrypt]

... Was the same song in the heads of anyone else who woke up there?

[vigilantics]

[ she nods. ]

... I mean, I guess it might be easy to fake knowing such a simple a song, but at the very least everyone seemed to know it.

[recrypt]

Could try singing only one line at a time next time and seeing if the others can pick up from where you left off, I suppose, but that's not necessarily foolproof...

One thing we did try one time was not saying anything to each other anything after waking and just. Writing down what we thought was the effect, and all of us turning in what we wrote to compare and confirm?

[ not that it stopped her from being suspected anyway if they were watching today's trial, but. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[hmm...]

Something in the water...? Will it be safe to retrieve it?

[there's, uh, there's a shark after all! and as we all learned from lili sharks are bad]

[vigilantics]

I don't think the shark that's there will try to do anything to us. Nurse sharks are pretty peaceful.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she looks a little worried, but she nods.

......and then she glances in the general direction of the farmland again, turning one of the turnips over in her hand.]

[menially]

Great.

Who wants to take bets on them needing a strong swimmer at some point for evidence at the bottom of the lake?

[vigilantics]

Hopefully what's actually down there is easy to bring back up...

[recrypt]

[ jabs a thumb at the both of them. ]

Me or her, and why, exactly?

[vigilantics]

[ gestures at flayn ]

Shinobu also had a collection with her.

[ of the harvest ]

[recrypt]

... Well, I suppose that's an interesting side effect...

[ did they just... sleep in the mud... the hoed fields... ]

[vigilantics]

I am very curious about how it's going to fit in.

[recrypt]

I mean, they don't always have to have something to do with the case, but I suppose you can't necessarily discount anything just yet?

[vigilantics]

Huh... well, that's good to know.

[recrypt]

It's just logistics. Not every place can have a side-effect that relates, especially if they didn't have anything to do with the scene... even sometimes when they do.

I suppose whatever force out there it is that keeps making us go through these thinks it would be too easy for us otherwise.

[vigilantics]

That's true... I was actually thinking that this seemed like a really good hint mechanic? I was jealous.

But knowing it's not actually helpful makes more sense.

[i'm putting it here so there's timestamps that i CALLED IT if this turns out to be true:




if the murderer "planted" body parts in the farmlands im going to shit myself]

[vigilantics]

[ i hate you ]
