[ It's embarrassing, but he doesn't mind talking about it. Even if it hits a lot of sore places. ]
The pain was excruciating and the poison was really kicking in. I was going crazy at that point and still thought we were trapped wherever we were. There was this voice that kept telling us we had to keep going for our wish and all.
[ Ah. He was hoping Childe would just forget, but he points at him. Can he lie his way out? No. He's sluggish and running a slight fever out of the pod. ]
[ Oh, nice. Childe isn't going to ask, so he doesn't need to say anything. Granted, he wouldn't have minded talking about it.
He had too much experience talking about it now. ]
... Not at all, in my opinion. The voice sounded like the same voice when you think to yourself. The hotel was also random to me. Kind of annoying since I didn't get some invitation to prepare me.
[LOOK... it's not that he's not nosy as fuck, okay. But he recognizes the rule of fairness--if he pries into Gojou's traumas, then Gojou could do the same for him, and he's not eager for that. So.]
There was a hotel? [Hunh. That's different.] What was it like?
[Futuristic like here? Any fun staff to deal with?]
[ damn. childe knows that gojou is the type that would ask something in return. they really do know each other without knowing each other. ]
... If only I could say it's like any hotel, but the hallway when you leave the room was rather eerie and dark! Kind of like out of a horror movie.
[ Has childe even fucking watched one okay ]
Like something horrible is going to happen. Still seemed relatively normal for my time period, though. [ Nodding. ] Didn't you go through something similar? Where did you guys go? I never caught you after.
[He has not, in fact, watched a horror movie?? But he has Experience with eerie dark places so whatever. He accepts that he probably won't be able to picture it, given that he doesn't know what a modern hotel looks like.]
It's hard to say. The location changed a few times. The best I had was "Hexagon Island"--but all of that was related to one of our number, as far as I'm aware.
[He didn't talk in extensive detail about it with anyone, so.]
[ Maybe they should watch horror movies one day. ]
Hexagon Island... Doesn't sound hellish, but you guys came out without parts.
[ He laughs about that because he had only some worry. The pods fixed it all, which is why he wasn't tooooo worried once they got out of the common room aside from... Some people bleeding out already beforehand. ]
[A grin, because Childe, for one, had a great time. The place tried to fuck around with his head, but it was nothing worse than what he's thought about himself already, so. He came out more-or-less unscathed.
He will allow the head bop, though, because Gojou had a hard day.]
--Hey. Did you guys find anything in there? Any items?
[HONESTLY, YEAH. They're both well-adjusted human beings, probably? It's fine.]
We did, yes. Ours were meant to be returned to our hosts. [A little shrug.] It's up to you if you want to or not, of course. But I got gift in exchange, so it might be worthwhile.
[Or if he just. Wants to be nice and generous. There's that too.]

[ Which should explain the trapped part! ]

His gaze is sharp as he takes that information in, mulling it over in his head. Also, poison bad? Poison bad. God.]
And "curse me"?

Past trauma.
no subject
Well. He just nods, and lets it drop. He sure as hell didn't tell anyone about half the personal traumas dredged up in his CYOA, so he'll respect it.]
Did you recognize the voice at all? [The one demanding they keep going.] Or anything about where you were?

At least we survived!

Well, we had some decent fights.

Damn, the two of them like, well, it's not like I didn't go through this already? ]
I did find something that felt important to someone. Something like that. [ Gojou sure has been sitting on the item. ] I'm guessing you guys did, too?

Hmmm. Then I suppose I have to figure out who it belongs to. I can't say I pay a lot of attention to our overlords when so much happens in this place.
[ A fault of myself, the player. ]

For now, I'll try to be responsible.

For now, you need to try to rest up. Don't die tonight, alright?
