[He looks over the rim of his glass as he takes a sip, listening to her and moving away from that topic.]

Implying something I should know about? [He won't openly admit to anything yet.]

[fleuris]

Tamamo already yelled about you being unfaithful.

[ so that cover? yeah, it's already blown. ]

So is it a sex dungeon down there or what?

[crashout]

Ah. Makes sense. [Sorry Tamamo.]

What all did you hear? Didn't think we were being that loud.

[fleuris]

Some moaning, some screaming - nothing specific, if you're worried about that.

[ which means no one knows whose name got yelled or who said "hit me harder" or whatever kinks they were playing with. ]

So? Sex dungeon, yes or no?

[crashout]

[Huh. That's...interesting.]

A little more comfortable than a sex dungeon if you can believe that. But I've always imagined dungeons with iron bars and shackles.

[fleuris]

They usually are, give or take some blood and rats.

[ hmmmm. she takes a gulp of her glass, eyeing Junpei. ]

Is there a reason you're being so tight lipped?

[ or is junpei someone who doesn't kiss and tell. ]

[crashout]

[...]

It's not what you think it is. [Ah. So there's that.] Whatever you think it is, it's probably not right.

[fleuris]

[ ah. ]

Oh yeah? And I was thinking you lot were just enjoying yourselves down there.

[ siiiiiiip. ]

Though I guess that does bring up the issue of how you got down there.

[crashout]

You really sure it was downstairs? Nobody else saw anything, did they? [He's not immediately providing an answer, but...Zero seems smart enough.]

takes a stab at this??? yolo??????

[fleuris]

[ is Zero smart enough? maybe. is traverse? absolutely not. ]

... This place really is screwed up. How the hell does sound get from up there to just the first floor?

Or was that a bunch of bullshit too?

[crashout]

[There's a tilted grin.]

We never went down to the basement. Pretty sure sound was broadcasted down there when we were checking things out.

[fleuris]

I hate magic.

[ this is stupider than Three's fucking riddle boxes. ]

You didn't answer the last question either - did you three even do any fucking at all?

[crashout]

I didn't fuck anybody, no. [Call him boring, but there you go.]

[fleuris]

If you're not trying to drink away bad sex, then why are you here?

[ aka what the fuck happened to you ]

[crashout]

[Well. That's a loaded question!]

...I'm still trying to figure out what just happened.

[fleuris]

[ yeah, it's easy to ask those when you don't care about feelings or propriety. ]

Drinking doesn't really help with that.

[ sure is great for blacking out though! ]

What do you think happened?

[crashout]

It does, actually. [Don't ask. But uh.]

I think we got a warning message from someone who was already here.

[fleuris]

Spoken like a true addict.

[ zERO you hypocrite ]

... Was, but isn't anymore? Great. Ghosts are the worst.

So was the warning about the people or the place?

[crashout]

[There's a low laugh. Yeah, yeah. Sure. She's allowed to think that.]

Pretty sure it was about both. Ghosts is a pretty close answer.

[fleuris]

[ well, she's not his mother so. it's not like she'll do anything abt it besides snippy comments every now and then. ]

If you see one again, make sure you stab it.

[crashout]

[Which is nice, thank you Zero. Let him live his life, it's one of. Multiple he has, apparently.]

If it's a ghost, can you see it to stab it?

[fleuris]

Of course. They might go intangible or whatever, but they always show up again.

[ if ghosts are monsters are they still ghosts though... ]

Unless it's different where you're from?

[crashout]

I've never encountered ghosts, so I couldn't really tell you. But there's a first time for everything isn't there?

[fleuris]

From what you've said, you've already met one. Congratulations.

[ ghost and recordings both exist in her world so...... he'll have to specify. ]

So, what next?

[crashout]

Depends. Got any ideas how to make contacts with vengeful spirits who might want to rip our faces off? [It's dry enough that he might not be serious, but, well.]
