[cupidsammo]

[ oh... she nods ]

Yes, I think I can do that.

[gamboler]

Alright, then. Follow me, unless you'd rather I watch your back.

[ But either way, he's starting towards the staircase once again. ]

[cupidsammo]

I'm probably the last person you want leading the way...

[ and so, she follows ]

[gamboler]

You say that, but I'm from the team seemingly cursed with bad luck, you know.

[ He's not bitter about it!! ]

[cupidsammo]

Bad luck?

[ Quickly, she sizes up his yellow uniform. ]

Which class are you in...?

[gamboler]

Kai-un. And yourself? Those are yakuyoke colors, correct?

[cupidsammo]

Yes, they are. Then you've spoken to some of the others?

[gamboler]

Only Miss Rin. I joined in on that little excursion into the woods the other day.

[cupidsammo]

Oh, right! She told me she planned on heading out there. How did it go?

[gamboler]

[ WELL.... ]

There's something out there. A stone monument, perhaps a grave. But before we could investigate, we passed out and woke up outside the school.

[ He will not be bringing up the Insecurity Whispers at this time, ]

[cupidsammo]

[ ? ? ? ]

All of you?

[gamboler]

That's right. None were spared...

[cupidsammo]

[ wha ]

This sounds like something straight out of an urban legend...

[gamboler]

Haha, it does, doesn't it? Though it'd feel a little more impactful if we had at least heard some reversed chants or the sky turned red first.

[cupidsammo]

That sounds like it'd be more terrifying!

[gamboler]

Well, sure. But a little bump on the noggin won't be enough to keep me from looking out there again.

[ Neither would the other stuff he mentioned, but that's just the kind of freak he is. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ As creepy as it all sounds, ]

... Yeah. That it happened at all means there's definitely something out there.

[gamboler]

Something we're not supposed to find. Haha...tantalizing, isn't it? Even to you.

[cupidsammo]

Well, I am curious, but I don't think someone like me should go poking their head into something that might be dangerous.

[gamboler]

Why not? We're all amidst danger now, whether we like it or not.

[cupidsammo]

... I suppose we are. I just wouldn't know what to do if something happened.

[gamboler]

You'd hardly be the only one.

[cupidsammo]

No, probably not. I shouldn't inconvenience anyone like that, anyway.

[gamboler]

[ A beat. She's awfully uncertain of herself, isn't she...then again, even among the kids here, she seems pretty young. ]

Given the way things have gone so far, if I were you...well, prepare for the worst, hope for the best, as they say! Do what you can so when that moment comes, you won't feel like a burden.

[ Not that he's speaking from experience or anything. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ She falls silent for a moment, but ends up nodding. ]

Yes, I'm—sure there's something. I don't want to end up doing nothing, after all... I'll have to think on it.
