Exactly. So why bother hidin' the truth?

... I know everybody chose to pay the price for the information and the price was these punishments.

But even so, I don't think you did this specifically so I would feel bad about it.

Of course I didn't do it to upset ya. We were just hopin' the information would be worth the trade, and it seemed like any punishments we got would be an easy fix. And...I was figurin' that Sirens would be collectin' information too. So fair's fair.

Yeah. If I'd been there with the other Arias, I would've played hard too and we both might be useless right now.

But I didn't, so that means I get to fuss over you until you're doing better again and you have to deal with that without extra beating yourself up. Sorry, I make the rules.

[processing........processing...........

relaxes]

Okay. Worry yer pretty little head off as much as ya want for today. Did ya check on the rest of yer Family too?

[strangely enough that seems to get him to relax a little against him]

Yeah, it's not great, but literally everybody went full blackout in the end, right?

[immediately leans back in turn, relaxing further]

Yeah. We weren't really aimin' for it, but since exactly five of us were there, we just gave everyone one column each and said to do whatever they wanted with that column for the rounds. I guess we're a bunch of completionists, same as everyone else on this boat.

[he nods]

Learn anything useful?

"Useful"...I don't think any of it's useful right now. It was bits of history about former members of the Forge. I'm guessin' they're all people who ended up here like us, one way or another. The "Legends".

[falls quiet for a moment as he mulls over what they learned]

Apparently there's a cave, though. The Cave of Candles. It's the first time I've heard of it. So keep an eye out for one, if ya happen to see any.

... A cave...

Something like that might've come up during the last meeting. I think in one of the stamps people got from the carnival a while back.

Yeah? Maybe Ore's got some notes on that. If ya remember anythin' else, tell me. It's just an opinion, but all this shit seems tied up in our Family's shitty pasts. So maybe if we uncover what happened and...I don't know, put their ghosts to rest? Tell their stories? It'll put a stop to this for good.

I think the Showmaster wants to do the exact opposite of that. Like... bring their souls back to life, or something.

Unless she's got some bodies to go with that, she's wastin' her time playin' with ghosts.

Yeah, uh.

Acidia's found some of those.

Bodies?!

Okay. Okay. Maybe we should talk about something else.

Ya can't drop that on me and then try to change the subject!

Sure can. What do you feel like eating once your arm's healed?

[shoves

Yue

under the water]

[he was not expecting that so he gets dunked in full and re-emerges with all the dignity of a cat that just slipped and fell into the tub]

—LEA!!

You were sayin'?

[coughing a little]

They went to the subway and died and ended up on a beach. And then there was... uh, an elevator? That had faceless bodies hanging from the ceiling? Like mannequins.

They could hear voices when they touched them and apparently they were used for some kinda experiment...

Also I think they kept one. There. Conversation over.

Good to know.

[pats his back to help him cough up and water he might've swallowed]

There, was that so hard? Sharin' information is good for ya.

[his hair is all soggy now, so no point in keeping it in a bun. he reaches up to undo it and wet the rest of it properly]

Could've waited for a better moment.

[low, sulky]

Then don't go blurtin' out big pieces of information like that and then droppin' them. Come here, I'll make sure it doesn't get knotted.
