[ What the fuck is a computer what the fuck is a flash drive what the fuck is a camera what the fuck is footage. Actually, who knows, maybe they have cameras in her world, but either way she is CONFUSION. ]
Sorry, there's a lot of stuff there that I don't really get. [ She looks determined to try, though. ] It sounds like you saw some illusions, right? If it was some kind of magic, that could explain the voices and seeing things you never did.
[ But the note in his handwriting seems like the biggest piece of evidence to his theory; for some reason she doesn't think that would be an illusion. ] ... But if you did write that note yourself, wouldn't you have left yourself a more useful message?
Don't apologize. [It's a lot and he should maybe consider being less, like, himself, but Dick seems to be covering it just fine.] They weren't really illusions, no. The thing about cameras is that it's usually proof of something that's happen. It's not magic.
Something supernatural, on the other hand, that's a little harder to explain. [He looks at the note that says CAMERA again.] Truthfully, no. This is exactly the kind of note I'd leave myself because I'd know what it meant.
[ dick considers how to explain this to escha while also... remaining a bit skeptical, sorry, it's the bat in him ]
Cameras are a kind of technology used to record visual and audio events. [ let's start that off easy? ] The flashdrive we're talking about is a method to store information that can only be read on a specific kind of machine-- a computer. [ there's a pause, and he decides to not go into how video footage can be doctored, because. woo let's unpack other things first ]
There are other possibilities than a timeloop. Obviously, the option is jumping to our minds because of Junpei's previous experience, but we shouldn't let that be our only guesses. Everything you guys experienced in that room isn't outside the realm of possibility for a psychic force, or even some form of toxin in the air. [ skepticism aside-- ] That said, the note's a little harder to explain under those circumstances.
You could, but it's much harder to get it so perfectly. [But yeah, okay, he agrees with that. The room is spinning in front of his eyes for a few reasons and he's still thinking about the fact that Carlos has a fucking arm as his item and he just saw footage of himself cut up everywhere. But. Haha, let's not talk about that.]
A psychic is still a problem. [The notes go back into his pocket, but he's pulling out the flash drives.] Figured you two should know. I don't know when "soon" is, but...keep it in mind.
[ oh, good, junpei answered that one so he didn't have to!!! ]
Believe me, I'm not gonna be the one to underestimate psychics.
[ Miss M would? be so offended? anyway he looks over the flash drives and it is KILLING HIM to not have his wrist computer right now. you have no idea. ] Thanks for telling us. It's always better to be prepared.
[ there's a beat. ]
Speaking of prepared-- you might want to drink a bit more water. We don't have a bucket handy.
[ That was very nice of you to volunteer to get Junpei some more water, Dick! Escha hands Dick the cup. :) ]
Yes, thank you.
I'm making a map to hang up for everyone to use. Higekiri said that this room was across from the cafeteria, is that right? Is it alright to label that room for everyone?
[He waves a hand in a "I'm fine" manner and he's not going to touch on the fact that this is hardly an issue. Instead, he focuses on Escha.]
Yeah. The door's locked again so I'm not sure people can get back in, but may as well label it the recording studio or something. A map'll be useful, too.
[He'll rub his forehead again.] ...the psychic thing might hold some weight. I've had a headache since we started checking the equipment.
[ he does a bit of a :o but. does go get the water looking a bit sheepish. sorry miss escha he didn't mean to imply, she should,
anyway he gets back and hands the water over, fine or not!! junpei!!! hydrate yoself ]
Water helps with headaches too. Psychic or otherwise. Not like we have any other alternatives. [ rip them and the absolute lack of medicine in this place. ] How's your map coming along, actually, Escha?
[ aka what's the verdict on what this place look like ]
It'd explain why we haven't seen our hosts, wouldn't it? [Can someone please save Escha I'm going to say this so many times this game.] There's enough ground to cover.

And there's not a way to fake those recordings...?
... Either way, I agree. It's only one explanation, so it's better not to lock in to it just yet.
