[she WAS here to check the medical team sign-ups, but MORE YELLOW?]

...eeeeeeeexcuse me. Um.

Are you looking for information?

[pissandvinegar]

[ turns to face her, offering a respectful bow ]

Information would be much appreciated.

[bowtiedbones]

[she blinks, surprised, then gives him a polite curtsy in return]

Mm. Well, I can tell you what I know, but to start: We don't know where exactly we are, how we got here, or what they want us for.

this is probably the only time i'll get to use this icon for the foreseeable future

[ LUO BINGHE IS CLOSING IN ON YOUR LOCATION ]

Shi... Shizun--! You really ended up here too!

he's so cute.

[pissandvinegar]

[ it's honestly not that much of a shock.

rather, the possibility of being free of Luo Binghe hadn't had the time to sink in yet. it doesn't even feel real that he has limbs again yet. he hadn't have the time to come to a hope that he might not see Luo Binghe again, so there is no hope lost. only: of course.

still, he goes pale. ]

Luo Binghe.

for now,

[demonvinegar]

[ of course he notices. he notices how his shizun freezes up, how the blood seems to leave his cheeks, how he suddenly seems like he might be ill.

he stops, for just a moment. ]

Shizun...? Is something wrong?


[ did he do something wrong? ]

[A giant shirtless elf with a giant polearm striding in to the dorm to shower off after workout, BUT

Distracted by New! Face!]

Whoa, dude! Hey! Holy shit. You lost?

[pissandvinegar]

[ I have literally never been addressed this way before in my life. briefly taken aback. ]

I am as lost as anyone here, it seems. I just arrived. I'm familiarizing myself now.

[ waves a hand at the bulletin board ]

[inexorableiron]

[Rip]

We don't know all that much shit, but we figured some of this out. You get the big fuckin' name warning, dude? 'Cause they're not fucking around.

[selfportraiture]

[...... She doesn't think she's seen this guy before.]

Uh, excuse me. I need to put something up.

[pissandvinegar]

[ steps aside for her ]

Pardon me for being in the way.

[selfportraiture]

It's fine.

[She waves that off, and puts up a fresh copy of this poster with some new and updated notes on it.]

Are you looking for something in particular?

1/2

[aono]

[Walks past him.]

2/2

[aono]

[Stops, walks backwards until he gets back to where this newcomer is.]

Lost?

Re: 2/2

[pissandvinegar]

[ is that a demon. wonderful

correcting, ]

Newly arrived.

[beathollow]

( it's been. a day. snowdrop has gotten her team tended to, home safely and a guarantee of a fresh meal on the way, and now... now she's on her way to shiawase, but the sight of a man she doesn't recognize stops her. )

... Excuse me, have you already been filled in on everything?

( don't mind that her voice is a little raw or that she looks like she was about to cry, straight up do not mention it she's very sad.

you can gawk at the fact that her right leg and left arm are covered in dark blue tattoos- ivy coiling up the leg, and then ivy and anemones on her arm- though. )

[pissandvinegar]

[ he doesn't gawk by any means, only meeting her eyes. he can't help a twist in his expression, a gentleness in his voice. he would hate for his first meeting with a stranger to ever be looking the way she does now, wearing his pain clear to see. ]

I believe I've gathered a rough gist of things.

... You need not trouble yourself. I have dealt with bloodthirsty spirits many times before; I will get my bearings before long. I thank you for your courtesy.

[cupidsammo]

[ While passing by, she stops to take a quick glance at the bulletin board as well... But she mostly ends up making a sidelong glance at him, looking up at his face. ]

[pissandvinegar]

[ meets her eyes. cups his hands and offers her a bow of acknowledgment, though if she doesn't say anything then neither will he ]

[presgarddihellis]

[... ah. Kai'un's also getting new ones...

he'd be wondering since Katsumori's gotten one, which is why he ventured out to the info postings.]

Do let me know if you have any questions. Particularly if it involves that more lengthy note.

[that one's his, hi.]

[pissandvinegar]

[ lengthy... gestures to the note with the green writing with a steady hand ]

Would you be 'Miskatonic Smith'?

[tailsofwoe]

[ Came by to check the bulletin board for updates, but pauses when she notices someone she doesn't recognize in yellow. ]

... Oh? If I'm not mistaken, I believe I see a new face.

[pissandvinegar]

[ turns to face her, giving a polite bow of greeting ]

You are indeed not mistaken, guniang.

[moonfeather]

Ah! Someone new??

[Fio, in her purple uniform checks on the bulletin board occasionally, but she wasn't expecting anyone new to appear.]

How are you faring, sir?

[pissandvinegar]

[ turns to offer her a bow of greeting ]

Well, for now. It has been my good fortune to find myself in a place with such courteous and helpful people to help me get my bearings.
