Oh— you didn't get one? [HE FISHES OUT ANOTHER DISC but this one is unlabeled. Good work, team.
But he just makes a little humming sound at that, tapping one foot against the ground.]
Makes sense we wouldn't be getting much more that's role-specific if we already know most of it... I'm wondering about that, though. Might also be a reference to things people have learned through break-ins? Though I think most of that has been shared already, right?
[As for the screen, BOY:] Singing bears? And a girl! They were singing about how sharing and caring always goes together like, I don't know. Mustard? Spaghetti? There were a lot of foods for some reason. [To the tune of some cursed damn song:] "There's no better pairing than sharing and caring, caring and sharing with you!"
I think I would've told you if I did. [But he's leaning against the arm of the couch to think, taking a larger sip of soup and promptly choking a little because of the flavor.]
...there are items people have received from break-ins. When I spoke to the Booty Caller, they mentioned that the ghost they spoke to indicated there are items we need to use before the 50th day here in some kind of ritual. They drew pictures so we can recognize some of them, but we only know where a few things are. I don't know if that's what we have to share, but if it's about escaping...it's a thought.
But if the last group didn't trust each other enough to share what was happening and that's why they failed...[A shrug.]
I figured it was a gift from that game, but maybe it was from one of the gifting roles again? I woke up with it yesterday morning. [A little shrug!] It was just something personal, anyway.
[He also reaches out to pat Junpei's knee when he starts choking DON'T LOSE THAT LAST 20% BECAUSE OF HIS SOUP DAMMIT.]
--I'd say that's a pretty important thing to share, though. Especially so we don't risk losing or using any of the items we might need later! Haha, that would be bad. [IT'S COOKIEGATE ALL OVER AGAIN.]
Maybe the gift role then. Those seem to be personal enough. [He won't ask even if he wonders. He clears his throat.]
I'm thinking the same. I'd rather not lose anything we don't know how to use yet since it might be important later. Right now for sure it's...a pair of shoes, a knife, and a dildo. Some of the other items don't make sense. A jar of water, an artificial heart, and maybe a necklace? Hard to say.
[A little hum and a nod... The mysterious contents of this disc will remain a mystery for now.]
The pair of shoes with wheels? [HE HOPES SO.] The knife is probably the one Tamamo received, isn't it? The rest, though... Haven't heard of anyone getting any of them. In any case, that's probably something we're going to want to get the word out about as soon as possible - cut back our chances of losing anything.
Different pair of shoes, but I know where they are. Same with the knife and the dildo.
How do we spread the word without alerting our demon friends though? That's another place I get stuck. [He's 100% coming back to the other disc later don't think you're getting out of this.]
Well... That would be hard, just because there's no way of predicting who will be possessed next. Even someone who's clear one week can become a liability later... Maybe instead, we could convince our item-holders to give theirs up to one person in particular? Maybe one of our hosts could hold onto them for us.
Worth a thought. I want to talk to Polly later anyway so...I could ask her and see what she thinks. Hold them on the other side and bring them back when we're ready. I don't know if one person here could be considered safe when any of us could be next.
Mm, exactly. If we do have to hold them all on this side, we'll have to come up with some sort of lock or guard system that would give away who could possibly remove anything... Like we take turns holding the metaphoric key so the last person with it would be the obvious one to do any tampering, you know? We'd just also have to make sure it's difficult or impossible to frame the key holder.
I used to have keys to a cell in the security office, but they're gone now. [Hilariously, he finds out where they are later.] Why use a metaphoric key if we could find a real key to use? Keep it on your person and it'll be a lot harder for someone to take it from you and use it to steal stuff.
You mean like the one that was sprung on Beck? [Just. Dryly.] If we could figure out how to set it up without being obvious we can try it. I'm worried about those people being possessed and disabling the traps but that's going to be a problem no matter what we do, so we should just do it.
[LOOK... If they could hit the trap-setting demon with their own trap, that would be hilarious?? Though his expression does sour briefly at the reminder.]
It would be just desserts, you know. [It WOULD!!] Anyway, that's why we have a few! Even if they're aware some traps are in there, they wouldn't know all of them. As long as we can come up with some clever ones that it won't see coming or be able to disable all the way, that should be a good place to start.
Well we have nothing else to do, so...sure. Let's start drafting some ideas and put things together. It'll be more productive than sitting around waiting for the demon to trap us instead.

Ah - the demons have more strength, but it still shouldn't be enough to bend metal bars, right...?

...I actually have no idea, and I'm afraid to find out. But we can assume if they can break an aquarium, they can probably try?

—Traps, then! Just in case they can break in, we could have a few people set different ones, so no singular person knows how to get past all of them.

After you finish eating, of course.

I'm working on it. Don't hurry a man when he's eating, dude. That's inconsiderate.

I can be even less considerate, if you'd like!
