[ she is looking confused in the church. ]

Does someone keep on taking and putting the Bible back?

[naginota]

Hm. So it seems. Maybe they've found some hidden meaning in its words?

[sonorant]

If they could read it, they should enlighten us. It may help in understanding what happened to us more.

[naginota]

I agree! There must be a reason why we were summoned here. If they leave us alone for too long, we'll start to get restless!

[ stop being loud in a church ]

Did you come here to offer prayers? I wouldn't want to interrupt.

[sonorant]

I was hoping to see if there was anything new that could offer answers. It would not feel right to me to offer prayers in a church whose beliefs I did not understand.

[ she'd like to be respectful. ]

[naginota]

Mm. That, I can agree with.

[ well, since the bible isn't here, he turns to the stained glass windows. ]

It seems that goats are important to those who lived here.

[ he has no idea what that means ]

[sonorant]

It looks like... they want the rise of this entity.

[ she's thinking about it, but she hopes it isn't bad vibes. ]

We can hope for some kind of neutrality.

[ she doesn't know about benevolence, but she doesn't want to jump to conclusions yet. ]

[naginota]

I see.

[ buddhism doesn't have a supreme god so he is feeling some kind of way about this. ]

The chances of that would be better if we could speak with them, I think.

[sonorant]

I would also like to speak with them. I do not know how high the chances of are that, but we can try to look to better them.

[ it will be difficult because they are stuck here, but trying is better than nothing. ]

[naginota]

[ a soft laugh. ]

As long as we keep trying, there is still hope. [ he offers robin a smile. ] Even if the odds are low, it's worth the effort, I agree. They won't hide from us forever.

week 0, sunday

[sonorant]

[ it's been a weekend, but that doesn't stop robin from going around even if she is a little subdued. ]

Mr. Iwatooshi. How are things?

[ how about those rituals ]

[naginota]

[ girl same. iwatooshi is far from his usual, boisterous self - lost in thought as he wanders the village restlessly. ]

I'm finding that I dislike rituals, Robin-dono. They always seem to have unforeseen side effects that go very poorly, and cause nothing but distress. [ ... ] I would prefer to fight than deal with these rituals. It is much easier.

[sonorant]

There is nothing to like about these rituals. It is easy to see they don't care about anything unforeseen as long as the result gets them what they want.

If only it could be as straightforward as a fight. We would have our fate at hand.

[ for better or worse. ]

[naginota]

You're right, they don't. It makes it all the more frustrating that they hide behind their fog. We can't fight against an enemy we can't see.

[ cowards. ]

[sonorant]

We'll have to work to find a way to disperse that fog.

[ easier said than done, but that doesn't make it any less a goal. ]

It will shed light we need.

[naginota]

We'll keep looking. [ frustrating as it is. ] The sooner we find a way, the better. The rituals they're doing will only get more dangerous as we begin to find our matches.

[sonorant]

[ she nods. ]

The consequences will double in every way. I'll have to see what kind questions the Overseers can answer.

[naginota]

Mm, I'd like to speak with them, too. But I worry about putting them in more danger, like Death-dono. It feels as if his fate was meant to be warning for the others.

[sonorant]

Do you think so? I don't know if the possessed had any target in mind when they went out of control.

[ or at least it's nothing she got an answer about yet. ]

[naginota]

It could be either. It’s only a guess. They said something about preferring to be overseers than sacrifices themselves, so it sounds like their cult isn’t the most forgiving.

[sonorant]

For a collective that chooses mass bloodshed, that's not surprising, but I think most would prefer not to be sacrificed for any reason. Do you feel differently?

[naginota]

There are plenty who are willing to die for their cause.

I just meant that it seems like they're already on thin ice with the rest, so a warning like that wouldn't be so surprising. That sort of thing happens in history fairly often already.

[sonorant]

I won't brush away the possibility, but I feel like more things would change if the cult at large suspected the three left more.

Most of my talks with them made it seem as if we'd be even more caged, if that were the case.

[naginota]

I see. Then we are lucky, in a way.

[ still escaping their notice, for the most part. ]

I just wonder if we’ll be able to find a way to defeat them when they’re so far out of reach.

week 2, monday

[sonorant]

[ I WANT A MEMORY IN RETURN. I'M STATING THAT FIRST, but i'm still writing my memories up. you'll get it in the next tag.

robin is going to flag iwatooshi down with a raised hand. ]

Good day, Mr. Iwatooshi. [ is it? ] You don't have to answer this question if you don't wish to, but after last week, I wanted to see how people felt about the monster affinity partnership. Have you found your partner, and if you haven't, do you want to?
