[They could have guessed, she thinks - they all had every reason to heavily suspect it - but... he's correct that until this moment, it wasn't confirmed.]

Yes. [She looks down at the ground.] ...how are you feeling this morning? Physically, I mean. Do you feel ill in any way?

[givethemhell]

I don't, no - but I know some of the people who ended up caught outside feel feverish right now.

[He's assuming it's a game mechanic but like WHO EVEN KNOWS!! He sighs, shaking his head.]

Could be an ability too, but I doubt it since it's affecting multiple people, apparently.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[well, about that.]

That is why I was asking. I am feeling a bit feverish, myself.

[givethemhell]

[FLAYN PLEASE. He blinks, brow furrowing a little.]

Were you among the people caught outside of your cabin last night?

[fishingforcompliments]

[Flayn nods once.]

Yes, I was.

[givethemhell]

[HM. He drums his fingers against his chin, considering.]

Were you out with the rest of the group that ended up out there? Or somewhere else?

[fishingforcompliments]

Unless there was another group of us out there... yes.

With whom did you speak?

[givethemhell]

Taako told me that a number of you ended up outside... Magnus, Lili, Ookurikara - some others, I believe? I'm assuming you stuck together after you bumped into each other, anyway. It's possible that fever is a "punishment" for being outside of your cabin after curfew.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, that was us. Dimitri was with us as well... we were together until we were made to sleep.

[...]

That very well may be the case. Which is a little unfair, if you ask me; I do not recall any rule that we were to stay in our cabins.

[givethemhell]

They also didn't say murder would be part of the game until one of us was killed.

[They clearly don't play by what's fair which ISN'T SURPRISING, bastards.]

I can't imagine that would be someone's power, anyway - I can only guess it's a mechanic of how this particular place works.

[fishingforcompliments]

The wording makes it sound as thought it was not meant to be, originally. But that may be deliberate.

[She sighs.]

...perhaps it is not. But that does leave me wondering what sorts of things would be a result of someone's power.

[givethemhell]

Hah... Well, my opinion isn't very generous toward them, right now.

[So she can probably guess what he thinks about that wording. As for that:]

Did you see Damian earlier? He can't stop crying and it started sometime this morning. That might be the work of someone's ability, but he also fell asleep outside of the residential cabins, so it might be something like that too.

[fishingforcompliments]

I did... I spoke with him.

[She bites her lip.]

There is a way to confirm whether or not it was a consequence of where he was or of someone's power, but he said not to do it, and in any event anyone who attempted it would need to wait a week...

[givethemhell]

Mm... Seems like such a bizarre thing to use a power on, in any case. Why target Damian of all people?

[A little huff of a sigh. But he looks curious at that!]

Is it someone else's power?

[fishingforcompliments]

I am not sure, but - if one was to spend the night there next week, and the same thing happened to them... we would know for sure, would we not?

[givethemhell]

Ah - I can see why he'd say not to do it, then.

[FLAYN HE IS TIRED.]

Staying out there alone on a Thursday night now that we know it'll be dangerous - can't say I agree with that idea.

[fishingforcompliments]

But if nothing happened, then we would know that what he went through was a result of someone else's power.

[givethemhell]

We could just wait to see if anyone else was seized by a bout of particularly strong emotion, couldn't we?

[fishingforcompliments]

We could. But if it is the result of a power, we cannot guarantee that it will be used again, and that would still leave us not knowing whether it was a power or the cabin.

[givethemhell]

[WELL, SHE'S NOT WRONG... He hesitates for a second and then fuckin sighs.]

If you decide you want to stay in that cabin to test it out, let me stay with you, alright? Two is still a measly number, but it's better than one.

[fishingforcompliments]

But it may be dangerous. You should not have to put yourself at risk...

[flayn, please shut up



anyway we're doing this next week unless someone starts showing damian's symptoms I GUESS.]

[givethemhell]

[WE SURE ARE time to tell his whole cabin he's going to be conducting an experiment with Flayn on death night.]

Everything in camp is dangerous on Thursday nights now, unfortunately. Might as well do something useful while I'm in danger.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[wow i hope wwx ends up dying that night and flayn gets scapegoated because his cabinmates knew he was going somewhere with her]

I will not be able to change your mind, will I?

[givethemhell]

[THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNY but also no death for you]

I can't very well let you go off and try something like this on your own now that I know it's on your mind, you know?

[fishingforcompliments]

[AAAAAAAAA LET ME INTO THE GRAVEYARD]

...oh! What do you know, I have forgotten everything about this idea. Surely I will not do it next week.

[she's a shitty liar,,,]
