[ Disappointment because they GOT TO SEE IT in the flesh? The slime? ]
Did you talk to Medb about her trip? [ on the cyoa. ] I considered that maybe this alien furry thing she talked about might be the monster... It's confirmed to be the same thing that chewed out the Avatars that one week, too.
Yes, something like that. I don't know much, either--just that they had buttons on their necks that stopped them. [So, robots. He's assuming they were replicas of the avatars, until he has reason to believe otherwise.]
It still feels like we're missing something, to me. I can't figure out where something like that might've come from.
I was told certain things don't want to be perceived yet, but we've been seeing a lot of things lately, right? Which means... It's only a matter of time.
[Lust's floor... he's a little disappointed that he might not live to check it out, but there's no guarantee he'll die on Thursday. (spoilers: he did)
It doesn't necessarily mean anything--there's no time limit on their offers, after all. But Gojou's right, things are clearly moving around them. He can play the waiting game, but he doesn't have to like it.]
[ Gojou Satoru, forgetting or not realizing Childe was excluded. Anyway, he gives Childe his phone and lets him read the mass texts they've been sending. It's only the Tuesday ones. ]
I don't see why they'd hide this from you... What are you going to do? Team up with the monster? Be nosy and look into the past rounds of this weird game?
I don't know. We're dealing with a group that doesn't seem to have realized this cell doesn't actually lock.
[NOW THAT IT'S OUT IN THE OPEN it's fine. The people he actually likes know he isn't going to do anything. Escaping and hiding out somewhere would be pointless, and, more importantly, incredibly lame.
But he takes it, reading over them carefully. His emotions only reflect thoughtfulness and focus, though there's a spark of amusement and vindication at Diluc's name. bye bitch lmao. When he's finished, he leans back with a nod, turning this over in his head.]
Why would I smash my boot through the thin ice I'm standing on?
[Like, he gets it, kind of. He's an unrepentant killer, it only makes sense that they'd want him under observation. But it's exceedingly obvious to him that going after anyone else here would do nothing but get him killed a few days ahead of schedule, and enrage everyone further. It's not a matter of the goodness of his heart, it's just survival logic.
He makes a face at that, though.]
It probably is only a matter of time, then.
[Before they all get eaten by this monster creature, probably]

But he shakes his head.]
No, I didn't go to any of those places. But I wouldn't be surprised if the creature traveled in the vents, either.

I did, yes. I spoke with Shi Qingxuan as well. If it's not the same creature, I think we have a bigger problem on our hands.
[He frowns, though, tapping his finger thoughtfully.]
Putting that aside for the moment, though--did she mention the, ah, "eight bodies" they had to fight?
no subject
[ He tilts his head. ]
Tell me more about these eight bodies.

Well, you might be able to see it even if you're dead, right?
[ ... ]
Might even be able to carry messages to the dead, too.
no subject
Found a use for me after all, did you?
no subject
[ There's that, but. Hmm. ]
Did you get the text updates people have been sending? Whenever they use a magnifying glass or scroll.
no subject
Alright, I will. [And a little intrigue, at the question.] I haven't.

[ There's amusement because lmfao he thinks Childe would have caused trouble earlier if that's allowed. ]
Other one got vored!
