The Final Day

[airlockedmods]

[Friday comes with the usual morning announcement. There's no blood or anything anywhere, and nothing visibly disturbed.

>Investigate...?]

[There's only seven of them, but still, mental head count. Akira's accounted for. Now Marisa.]

No. Thankfully. ...I admit to being on edge this morning. [Given the track record, the why should be obvious.]

[lovecolored]

No kiddin'. I got this bad feelin' in my stomach, y'know? Like, more than normal on Friday, ze.

[playthedamncard]

Petuu might make a big production out of something that we won't care about, but otherwise...

Hn. Won't hurt to keep looking around. Just in case. I wouldn't object to company, if you're for it.

[lovecolored]

Oho. Grown fond'a me, have ya? I knew ya would come around.

[ roxy is dying why are you doing this now you shit ]

Alrighty, I'll play bloodhound again.

[playthedamncard]

I may have softened my stance on magic. Although I still think flying around on brooms is completely ridiculous. Much classier to fly around in a jet.

[lovecolored]

Hey, most'a my friends don't even use brooms. They just zip around like in the Zero-G room.

[ she has met a total of one other person in Gensokyo who flies on a broom and that was when she was eight........

...... ]

That one've those fighter planes?

[playthedamncard]

Somehow I'll take flying around on nothing at all than to a broom.

And yes, something like that. Mine isn't for fighting, just personal transport. [While everyone else is having a Really Bad Time up there, let's just mosey on over next door to the library.]

[lovecolored]

...y'know the broom doesn't do anything, right? It's just for the witch image. And comfort of sitting down for long flights.

[ a light sigh ]

I don't think I could fit a plane outside my house. Too many trees.

[playthedamncard]

You need to sit while you're flying around under your own magical power? I can barely understand any of the magical rules and properties of my own world; everyone else's just seem so bizarre. [And he's read Manaka's diary, that shit is fuckin wild yo.]

...But point, you can't just park a jet anywhere. Usually.

[lovecolored]

I don't need to, jeez. I just like to. Less vertigo that way.

[ MARISA....BEING HONEST ABOUT HER OWN SHORTCOMING.....ENDGAME IS TRULY AMAZING ]

[playthedamncard]

You know they make pills for that.

[lovecolored]

It ain't gonna stop me from usin' my broom either way.

[playthedamncard]

Fair enough. [weird ass witch being broom having magical bs]

...Here's a question that's going to sound insane. Have you been seeing any...hallucinations, apparitions, glitches--seeing the dead. [Someone did die in the library after all.]

[lovecolored]

[ well that makes her expression completely deflate ]

...yeah, actually. Lunafreya, in the Zero-G room.

[playthedamncard]

Chloe in the cafeteria. It was the strangest thing, like it happened all over again. But nothing left of the scene but her.

[lovecolored]

[ A nod ]

I was leavin' the room, and heard a scream and a crash, like she was fallin', and there she was on the ground...I yelled and Akira came in, but by then she disappeared.

I'm no stranger to seein' ghosts, but I'm not gonna lie, that creeped me out, ze.

[in4apounding]

[So presumably at this point is about when Penny gets here, holding Shovel-kun defensively and looking both dead inside and like she wants to be anywhere else in the world.]

Marisa? Seto? There's- ...we need to meet by the holodeck. Something's happened. I'm sorry.
