[Hm. Suspicious. Also there's something a little funny about a sword saying "yo" and he looks a little surprised before there's an equally quick wave.]
Hey. Good call, I did. Did Hizamaru tell you already? [He's not sure if that would be better or worse, but admittedly he's curious what went down with Kanesan.]
[Oh. Damnit why are swords like this? Junpei settles for a shrug but that's as good as a yes.]
Him and Prompto. Sounds like we were split into threes. We had to go to the lounge and follow some instructions. [That's not incredibly vague.] What about? And Tonbokiri, too, if he told you. I'm interested in knowing if anyone went somewhere we haven't had access to before.
It was the same for us - though we were sent to the break room, and Tonbokiri's group to the kitchen. No one I've spoken to so far has gone somewhere new.
There was a shadow in the break room with us - not quite like what you described before.
Except they're letting smaller groups in, here and there... Dick spoke to you about what he found, right?
[ it may be phrased as a question but he knows they talked about that because dick mentioned it, haha! but he'll nod, looking a little distracted as he thinks about it. ]
A shadow in place of a person. It... reminded me of someone I know, but he isn't here with us. My guess is that it's another trick.
[There's a frown at the mention of Dick.] I was awake when he left and he told us right after he came back. It won't surprise me if this happens again.
[Though the mention of the shadow causes him to lift an eyebrow.] Maybe a trick, but if it was someone familiar there has to be something else we're missing. Can you tell me about what you saw?
Then if someone else goes missing, chances are they've found a new part of this place to explore.
[ or they're dead, but you know, that hasn't occurred to him yet. ]
Hm... It wasn't clear. The light was dim enough that it was hard to make anything out, and the shadow didn't speak. We've never played a game like that, either. So it was more of a strong feeling that reminded me of him than anything.
[ demons and ghosts are one thing, but like. mind-reading?
he shakes that thought off for now. he'll think about it a little more later, but for now... ]
I can't say for sure. I think we lost? There were supposed to be three rounds, and we only got through two before a broadcast told us to wake up, and when we did, we were all on the floor in the dark.
Yeah. It's possible if someone or something has that ability. [Not pleasant, huh?]
Something forced you to sleep, then? [More for that theory, too.] You remembered everything that happened when you woke up didn't you? Nothing seems to be missing from your memory?
[ fucking yikes. he's also going to make a note to ask the saniwa about it when they get back, but until then... ]
Mm... sort of. I can't remember much of the details - mostly just the shadow. I still don't know what happened to my haori, and I don't think Beck or Edelgard remembered much more than that either.
I'm not sure about Beck, but the commander was missing her gloves and part of her dress, as well.
She also woke up with something in her arms. [ he doesn't know how to explain a dick gun, rip. ] It didn't do anything when she tried to use it, so either it's useless or we couldn't figure it out at the time. Which is... possible, considering how we were feeling once we woke up.
[ it was. not great. oh, and before he forgets - ]
There was a note, too, but none of us could read it.
I don't think it's useless, but it means we don't have the pieces we need yet. Our item doesn't work either. Or it didn't when I tested it earlier. Hold onto it for now.
[...] You got one too, huh. Ours was unreadable as well. Wonder if we're supposed to put them together.
You, too... Tonbokiri said his group got one, as well, so it may be safe to assume all of us did. If we need to put them together, we'll have to talk to everyone.
[ but gathering this whole group of people is like herding cats ]
Right. It might be easier if each group selects a leader or something to hold onto the paper. We can compare them and see if they go together that way.
[Like. 9 people instead of 33. Or however many were on the mission there.]
I have ours, Escha has her group's and I think Dick has his group's. So that's five. If we split up and start seeing who else has their groups it'll go faster. The faster we set up a meeting, the sooner we can figure out what to do.
And if putting all these notes together doesn't help? It doesn't seem like there's much else we can do just yet, besides compare the items we were given.
I'm working on that, too. [He's definitely just flat out running around and comparing notes because he's bored and assumes they're all part of a bigger puzzle.] Some people only got one item but other groups got multiple. I'm still trying to see what else happened.

Yo, Junpei.
[ just a quick wave in greeting before getting down to business: ]
You received a mission yesterday, too, didn’t you?

no subject
Hizamaru...? Was he with you?
[ WHY DON'T ANY OF THESE SWORDS COMMUNICATE. ARE THEY NOT A TEAM. ]
He didn't mention anything. Tonbokiri told me he received a message on the shell device yesterday morning, same as me. What did it ask you to do?
no subject

A shadow? Like of a person? [Not Satan???]

Something possibly manipulating your thoughts and emotions. [That's great. Perfect.] How did the game itself go?

I thought something was missing. [...also weird?] Anybody else missing anything from your group?
