[cool! they are now going to be awkwardly standing here for a second then.

eventually, asa takes pity on both of their awkward asses.]

Right. So... Um. Do you have any ideas? To find the one we missed, I mean.

[residentmerc]

[ oh thank god ]

Only thing I've got is that poncho list. Erin was in the list for the smaller group, so maybe whoever we're looking for is in that second one.

[halved]

I think so, too. We probably missed something on one of their bodies. But there's no good way to check for that without being creepy and invasive.

[residentmerc]

Can't say I remember who checked who at this point, either.

[ me rereading seeing iwa had wounds and simply closing my eyes and moving on because how would cloud know ]

[halved]

Me neither. It's hard to keep up with everyone when we're all talking and checking on things at the same time...

[me seeing iwa had wounds and closing my eyes because my teenage anti-stripping girl could not do shit. it's fine.]

[residentmerc]

With that many bodies, wasn't easy to know what we were supposed to be looking for, either.

[halved]

[grimaces.]

There will probably be more bodies next time, too.

[residentmerc]

If they keep upping the ante like that... We won't last eight weeks.

[halved]

Or we'll all be possessed by monsters before then.

[residentmerc]

... Same difference. I don't think those monsters discriminate.

[halved]

You think they'd kill each other, too?

[residentmerc]

Probably not a chimera, but... it's not like they'd know, right? If all they do is go berserk and kill each other. Fiends do it all the time.

[halved]

I guess... Devils will take each other out too, and that's even knowing they're on the same side.

[residentmerc]

Yeah. And here, unless they were working together outright, they wouldn't have any idea.

[halved]

Like the chimera. I wonder if we'll have to deal with more of those in the future.

[I WONDER!! ZIA!!!!!!!]

[residentmerc]

[ did you? damn ]

Going by how this cult works? I wouldn't bet against it.

[halved]

[explodes you with my mind]

What a pain...

[residentmerc]

That's pretty much every day here. But... we'll see it through. Don't have much of a choice otherwise.

[halved]

I know. We just... have to somehow survive six more weeks of this.

[failed step one, cloud.]

[residentmerc]

What's a little surviving monsters taking over and trying to make us kill each other for that long?

[ sarcastic!!!! luckily because then he died ]

[halved]

I think I prefered taking my chances with a devil...

[HE SURE DID DIE... shakes you more.]

[residentmerc]

Yeah. Least back home you know what you're dealing with.

[halved]

Exactly. And besides, at least with devils you can usually tell when they've taken over a human body. The face gives them away.

[residentmerc]

It does? How come?

[halved]

[she taps her cheek.]

Their heads change when they become fiends. For example... The last one I met was missing half of their skull, so their brain was fully exposed.
