[Hilarious.]

I'm going to find someone who knows what I'm talking about.

[rubikscomplex]

lots of writing on the wall, kid
lots of people dead
she's one of them

[perfero]

She is?

[That isn't very surprising, given the last time she saw Mami she was sans one head.]

[rubikscomplex]

what did i just write, kid?

[perfero]

Sorry, I want to be sure. When did this happen?

[rubikscomplex]

months ago
an anomaly swallowed her whole
they do that
so watch out
i'm assuming you're one of her little friends?

[perfero]

[Nothing new for her, then.]

We attended the same school.

[rubikscomplex]

so by the chill
she was the queen bee and you were the loser?

[perfero]

[Yes.]

She was in a different year than me.

[rubikscomplex]

"yes" is a lot shorter to type than that, kid
where are you, anyway?
anywhere useful?
we're trying to get through to a new area
but as long as you're not in the residential area
there's decent chances you might find some new things
check out the spider's notes @itsybitsy for a list of the weirdass things we've found to investigate
you can be the new tween bee

[perfero]

I'm not interested. I'm going to the morgue.

[rubikscomplex]

morbid much?
gotta see the body to confirm?
aren't you, like, 12 or something?

[perfero]

What does my age have to do with this?

[rubikscomplex]

well unless your family runs a funeral parlor
or you're just that goth
dead bodies bother most 12-year-old girls
it's interesting that they don't bother you
why is that?

[perfero]

Who knows.

[rubikscomplex]

you do
how surprised were you that tomoe was dead, really?
see her die before?

>private

[perfero]

[On the one hand, she doesn't like to lie. On the other... this is not a subject she wants to get into.]

I heard she died back home.

[Which technically isn't lying. Technically.]

>private

[rubikscomplex]

[He notes that switch to private.]

is it a secret that she died back home?

>private

[perfero]

I'd prefer it isn't common knowledge, in case other classmates who aren't aware arrive.

>private

[rubikscomplex]

and how did you find out if it isn't common knowledge?

>private

[perfero]

If you're asking whether I saw her die, I didn't.

>private

[rubikscomplex]

i wasn't
but i find it interesting that's the first place your mind went
what did you see?
the body?

>private

[perfero]

It seemed as if you were angling in that direction.

I heard about it.

[In the form of disintegrating magical ribbons.]

>private

[rubikscomplex]

how?

you're being secretive
that means it wasn't a big news story
you weren't her friend, apparently
so why would anyone tell you?

>private

[perfero]

You're asking a lot of questions about something that has nothing to do with you.
