[ Hooray for their clothes... but also wow, how did that fit into that wooden box. He really got a huge-ass casket and had to fight extra leeches for it didn't he? ]

Mr. Strife, if I'm not mistaken. I've at least made use of the faucets here.

[ Because while they didn't talk on Friday, Daan was in a rough and filthy state when he showed up. He still doesn't look great, because even his clothes are kind of stained with this and that despite his best attempts to give them a wash. You can only do so much with water... but it's better than before. ]

See anything interesting?

Yeah. You learn to really appreciate the basics.

[ He would really like some soap please. ]

That's apt too. And it looks like the environment is aware to some degree. People can't take their faces off of the bulletin, and items don't like to leave their original resting places.

[ I'm proud of him, I really am. ]

At least some of them. The Bible in the church was one.

Not that it teleported out from my hands. It was far more unpleasant than that.

...

Auditory hallucinations and a compulsion to return it to where it was.

[ And also another turbo-curse but he doesn't even want to talk about that so. ]

[ Cloud your lei. ]

Mhm. I would advise against touching it too much. It's unreadable garbage anyway, and interacting with it might summon something worse sooner than better.

[ Good for him x2. ]

Huh.

Good intuition. Yeah, pretty much.

It's pretty dangerous to leave potential occult things lying around for just anyone to accidentally touch.

No thanks. I'm not fond of the occult and all that. Unless it summons a way out of here...

[ He sticks his hand into his pocket, just to have something to do. ]

Not a fan yourself either.

...Sure. No lasting effects that I can feel, and I've gotten over it for the most part.

[ He hated it actually but it's been a little bit of time since then since he ended up returning it overnight. ]

But I guess it means no hiding them away from the public view.

Who knows... I'm not eager to test it again exactly, especially with no payoff.

[ He shrugs. ]

But I can only do so much, and stopping others from trying isn't one of them.

[ What if we arranged rocks to spell NO pointing at the book. No, more people would definitely be interested if so. ]

That's true.

Makes you really question what's the point of all this.

[ This is why the mg hp economy is in shambles... ]

It'll wear off if we're here long enough. Surprises and shock are only effective for so long... for most people.

[ Maybe some people are just naturally very jumpy... rip if you are. ]

And then what? It wouldn't benefit anyone to just stay here until we all die, which doesn't seem to be the case given the provision of mediocre-but-serviceable beds and food.

A little stupid if that were the case...

They've not only chosen to allow over three dozen people to roam around, several of which are very capable of physical resistance, and even returned us personal items.

[ He does pointedly look at Cloud's ridiculous bahonga sword. ]
