[they think about it. as they think, aymeric may be able to get a better glimpse of their face. it looks somehow gaunter than it used to. there's more definition to it. an androgynous, young looking face, a little oddly inhuman.]
I see... Nevertheless, this is worth celebration—[ mm. ] Loathe am I to raise this matter during a moment most joyous, but we've found another message. This time on one of our phones as a drafted message.
I wish to hear your thoughts, if it were to change after this account.
An acquaintance of "Dreamer" wrote missive, to whom... I believe to be their companion. [ general companion. ] With the nature of the Prism, the draft would serve more as a journal, an entry to bring themselves comfort during their stay.
The writer stated the Prism to be comfortable, making them feel safe, but they wished to return to the recipient. They also mentioned that they were starting to forget, this effect extending to the recipient's name.
... The writer then raised there was a plan to escape, or an attempt at one. Dreamer, the writer, and a handful of others were to leave the Prism, or try.
That's right, you were all running around digging up graves and disturbing burial plots. [they sound a little judgey.] So you think this person is related to that...Dreamer thing?
[hmm.]
Listen, it's possible? Someone might have been here before a long time ago.
My apologies... I should have kept mine eyes on Mistress Marie.
[ haHa. ]
Yes. The message referenced "Dreamer" and enlightened us that Dreamer is or was a "he." With this drafted message, we could make the leap to say this writer prefers technology over penning their letters like the Dreamer. [ Interesting. But anyway. ] Long time ago, might it? I had not consider time myself, with how odd it feels here.
If they were to be here in the past, I wonder for how long... And if they had mastered color as well. There are still many questions left. [ Nodding. ] Thank you for giving me insight once more, Lord Shale.
[ hm. ]
We can move on to more personable subjects. [ ... ] Let me preface I give no offense and instead give care, but do you ever find yourself eroding...? I read one of the books on Japanese culture that they would respectfully protect their statues from the elements with some clothing.
‘Tis better for you to know lest you become blindsided a second time… Though I do wish you to be honest when it comes to how you feel. The findings are unsettling.
[ Aymeric doesn’t enjoy it but sometimes you must talk plot I guess. ]
My apologies, then, but if you’re interested I see why not add more to your wardrobe? The book talked of bibs and hoods, so collars and other hats. Unless the bibs sound appealing to you.
[ It doesn’t even matter he’d bring them in blue. ]
I could see a collar or something. [anyway, they tilt their head a little.] Okay, I hear you. I don't want to discourage you guys, or make you feel like you can't come to me. But I get a really bad feeling from these notes you're finding. It worries me. Everything sort of...started up after that.
I will speak to a few others to see if we can assemble you a small collection for start. If you have a preference for colors, I will take it into account.
[ hm. ]
What do you fear, Lord Shale? What do you think is the worst to come? As a resident of the Prism, you must be able to imagine the dangers that can come.
[they laugh a little, it's just a soft rumble muffled by stone.]
Staying calm and diplomatic isn't exhausting, either. You guys are all pretty great. Sometimes, your emotions run high because things around here aren't exactly great right now. I don't take things too personally.
no subject
It is. No one needs be bound to their possessions, but they do bring some comfort. [ Hm. ] Has aught come to you ever since reclaiming your hat?
no subject
I'm not sure anything else has come to me.

Those things. Well...tell me about it, I guess.

[ yeah ]
no subject
[they don't seem always happy to talk about this, but it also seems to worry them more to think of the other alternative.
however, their mood perks up a bit at this.]
From time to time. [a low chuckle.] Just a little erosion joke. But okay, that's sort of cute. What were you thinking?

[ i guess aside from more bodies. ]

[but green and pink seems like the biggest vibe.]
...I really hope it isn't going to get worse. I can't imagine what that would mean, aside from...this continuing to happen, but more.

He stays quiet, then places a hand on their shoulder because it's touch week. ]
Let us both keep hoping. We must need keep our heads above despair.
no subject
I think you're doing good work, helping people with that.
no subject
You do much for yours and us as well, staying calm and diplomatic as you are. Sometimes, I find myself with worry that you will exhaust yourself.
