KAGACHI;

[preceptive]

['sup.]

I'm free. What is it?

[crashout]

Well...couple of things, actually. [He has a list.] Did Dick get around to telling you what happened during the blackout?

[preceptive]

Yeah, we've spoken.

[crashout]

How much did he update you?

[preceptive]

We're likely dealing with possession or mind control here, based off the notes left behind. It's what drove the last group apart, before they died.

The other rooms on that floor are a ballroom and gift shop.

[crashout]

Good. So he told you everything. We were trying to come up with a good system of spreading the information.

[So why did Junpei decide to come here...] Did you has an assignment like a bunch of us yesterday? I wanted to ask if you saw anything strange...there were some things other groups saw that aren't exactly adding up.

[preceptive]

I don't know if I'd say we saw anything strange. It just wanted us to bake a cake.

What'd others see?

[crashout]

Our group caught blood on camera where there wasn't blood at all. Another group had someone else playing a game with them, some shadow figure that took on the appearance of someone they knew that wasn't in this place. I'm not sure if anyone else experienced something like that, but it's different.

Think part of that group might have been cursed, too.

[preceptive]

Huh.

Well, most I can say about ours is that the oven turned on by itself and our devices started singing to us.

[crashout]

If we're going with the idea of possession, that's not too surprising. Ghosts can inhabit items, supposedly. [Thinking, thinking...] But you completed your task and got a prize?

[preceptive]

Yeah. Same goes for you?

[crashout]

Yeah. Nothing useful yet but that doesn't mean much. [It's just something to piece together in his own time.] The recording studio opened up to all of us after we broke in. And we got those missions after Dick and Aizawa got into the electrical room. Coincidence, or cause and effect?

[He wants to see what Kagachi thinks mostly.]

[preceptive]

There's a good chance it's related. We'll probably know for sure if it happens a third time.

[crashout]

[A nod.] If you hear of someone disappearing a third time, let me know? I'm still asking around to see who got pulled into a mission.

[preceptive]

Sure.

I was with Zero and Tonbokiri, for the record.

[crashout]

[Good to know.]

Prompto and Hizamaru for me. We got stuck with the lounge. From what I'm hearing it was mostly groups of three.

[preceptive]

Think they just picked the groups at random? I'd never even spoken to Tonbokiri before this.

[crashout]

Could be a psychological test to see how we'll engage with others. [Annoying...] Did you guys work well together?

[preceptive]

Yeah. Zero and Tonbokiri are tolerable.

[crashout]

Tolerable is better than some of the other answers I'm sure people have. [He's pretty sure Zero's own answers wouldn't match but he's not touching that.] That was the focus for now. Whatever we're dealing with is either all around us, traveling, or there're multiple spirits.

Let me know if you hear anything?

[preceptive]

[amazingly, kagachi gets along with zero well enough?]

All right. Likewise?

[crashout]

[Then Kagachi is a stronger man than most.]

Likewise. [He's keeping the report brief so we can also clear the slate for the week, but he lifts his hand in a wave as he turn.] Later.
