KATSUMORI MEETING TIMES?

[presgarddihellis]

[Klein will wait until everyone's at least back at the dorms before he will try to nudge them to the living area]

So. A number of revelations and also... important information has come up. We may be essentially strangers still, for the most part, but it does appear we will be together for a while yet.

First, we have confirmation that the omamori--the charms we each have--are protection of a sort. Let's try to keep those safely on us until further notice so we aren't compromised and try to attack each other.

Second, there are more active spirits than there have been for the past two weeks. This was likely a result of whatever catalyst the Anzen group was made to take part in. It's not confirmed that one event caused the other, but the connection is difficult to argue against and I'll be honest, I do not work well with ignoring Coincidences. Please make note of any future occurrences that happen that may appear connected in some way. If there's a strong enough pattern, we may be able to anticipate things.

And finally, most importantly, please guard your names. As Ji explained to everyone at large: if someone knows your name and uses it, they can issue commands you are forced to obey. There is no resistance possible. You can only obey. If I need to spell out how dire that is, I can and will. As I have some personal experiences with that, and frankly, would rather kill myself than go through it again.

[continuing on quickly because fucking curse fucking curse got to him at that last bit:]

So! [CLAPS HANDS TOGETHER] One thing we must consider is whether or not we need failsafes in the event someone's name gets outed by our curse and are forced to do something quite unsavory. The nekomata are innocuous enough. But there are far worse spirits wandering the halls and grounds now.

Thoughts? Opinions? Also if anyone else has any other information, we should compile as much as we can now, or at the very least, make sure we are all on the same page.

[listening to all of that and then thoughtful, for a moment]

What failsafes are you considering?

Re: KATSUMORI MEETING TIMES?

[presgarddihellis]

It's possible that events like what we've already experienced may occur.

And while I do believe all groups represented here would rather no be pitted against each other, we may have no say in the matter. With that in mind, and also what I know of what Yakuyoke's journal's said of their curse... the concern is one of our own being used against us--whether by the spirits who find out the name or another group.

The one way to counter this is to ensure that we are able to counter-command. We may even be able to issue a binding command to not obey certain types of commands...

But I do recognize that requires a certain degree of trust and, honestly, even I am struggling to justify that to myself.

[ He will stand in the chastised corner, wincing just a little when his own stupidity is brought back up, but yeah... yeah........

His expression does shift when he hears what Mr. Smith says about his own experiences dealing with something similar though. He didn't realize when he said it in the cafeteria. ]

I don't have much more to offer, though...

[ He already inadvertently found out some pretty big information for them. ]

[presgarddihellis]

That's alright. Even the little things matter.

For example, I do know Anzen, Shiawase, and believe I have a clue as to Yakuyoke's curses, but I haven't been made aware of some of the others'.

[laevateinns]

He gave his name away?

[ aghast, as if he isn't the one who ditched his omamori. ]

[candlestick]

[ Hey, what the hell, man? You're supposed to be standing with him in the chastised corner as his fellow fuck-up! Where's the solidarity? ]

I have spent my entire life using my own name. It was a momentary lapse.

[ Just one with big ramifications. ]

[presgarddihellis]

[watching these two...]

Perhaps it is better not to throw stones in glass houses.

You're also cursed to say unfortunate truths, you know?

[ silent a long moment ]

. . . my has been made subordinate to outside interference, and the vulnerability that caused this still remains. Historically this has been used to attempt the murder of everyone in my immediate vicinity. The only practical counter-measure is to disable me as completely and immediately as possible.

[presgarddihellis]

[... why is our commonality in this group "liable to berserk and kill everyone around them"?!

the story of Klein Moretti's life: being in groups like this.]

I see.

Re: KATSUMORI MEETING TIMES?

[candlestick]

[ He does NOT look happy to hear that, but at the same time... ]

Understood.

[ He'll do what he has to. ]

Re: KATSUMORI MEETING TIMES?

[darkholder]

Ah... Noted. Thank you for the information.

[laevateinns]

Is that right? [ he asks, seeming intrigued rather than horrified. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ Hey gang you have someone knocking on your door. ]

[darkholder]

[opens the door]

Ah - hello.

[presgarddihellis]

Ah, Miss. Hello.

[candlestick]

[ He's not the one that opened the door, but he is in the common area, and will politely tip his head towards her when she comes in. ]

Hello.

[ungovernanceable]

[ Inside standing in a corner. Glances at her briefly then goes back to staring into the middle distance ]

[ordimame]

[someone else is knocking rapidly on Kataumori's door]

[HELLO ARE YOU THERE PLZ OPEN UP]

[darkholder]

[opening up!!]

Ah - Puck. What brings you here?

[memori3s]

[ Two figures hover outside the door. It's Minato and Yuma, here to pay a visit because the former decided maybe he ought to follow everyone else's lead and see what's up with all the other dorms too.

Minato steps forward to rap a couple times on the door before patiently awaiting a response. ]

[presgarddihellis]

[Klein's the one answering this time!]

Oh. Hello. Can I help you?

[darkholder]

[giving him a little nod after smith lets him in]

Ah - hello.

[selfportraiture]

[Hello, knock knock, Ena is here with a bundle of what looks like long sheets of graph paper wrapped up in her arms.]

[darkholder]

[opening up]

Ah - hello. How might I help you?
