... Yeah.

[aerith was so optimistic that no one would die last saturday, and for what!! maybe nihilism is the way... (no)]

All that, and we're still missing one.

[residentflorist]

[yeah listen...she's learning. i really did bring her to 8 weeks of this bullshit.]

We can look at the bright side of this that we managed to find two. And we'll only have one ritual tomorrow. [which is good still, she thinks. neither nona or erin will have to suffer in their monster affliction for much longer. but...] But if we lost track of the third monster, we know what will happen next week if we can't find them first.

[halved]

Isn't it obvious? They're going to kill someone again, and then we'll have to deal with them on top of anyone else who gets possessed next week.

[residentflorist]

Yeah. [she did say we know what will happen. she is aware, and it's not great.] But that's if we don't find them first. I keep thinking about the two ponchos that we found. One of them had to be Erin's, but...the larger one is who killed Ichiban. There has to be some kind of link between who it fit and something we overlooked. There were only a few names.

[halved]

[my half asleep midnight self missing the "we know" part, but it's fine.]

I'd like to think we were thorough. Kasuga was a fighter though, so whatever we missed had to be on someone's body... But who the hell was going to force them to take off their pants and shirt? It's creepy and invasive.

[residentflorist]

[i would say i forgive you but i don't for this execution.]

It might be creepy and invasive, but it's going to come down to a time where it'll be exactly what we have to do. Monsters are going to start learning patterns. You don't think that someone will know we won't force people to check? [there's a sigh.] But I don't know how to change that either. It's...difficult to ask.

[halved]

... I know. So what can we do? Pat people down really hard and hope they flinch?

[residentflorist]

...you ever think maybe we should ask the overseers for something like a changing booth? It doesn't change the fact we'd have to look under clothes, but it could help be less revealing.

[halved]

We can ask. But it depends on if they sell that at the creepy cultist shop they get all our stuff from.

[residentflorist]

Somehow I doubt that's the only way. But...I'll ask and see what can be done. Even if we get one, some people might not use it. But at least the option's there.

[halved]

Let me know what they say. Otherwise, we'll need to figure out how to build our own.

[residentflorist]

Sure thing. If they say no, we could always ask Alfyn to help us cut down some wood and use dropcloths from the church. It might not be as good, but it'll serve its purpose don't you think?

[halved]

As long as it's sturdy enough that it won't fall over while someone is taking their clothes off.

[residentflorist]

If it's wide enough, they won't even have to touch the walls and that'll help keep it upright, too. It shouldn't be too difficult with a little planning.

[halved]

Wide and tall enough. Half of Iwatooshi and Cliffgate's torsos would be visible if we size it for the average person.

[residentflorist]

[she thinks about this...]

Do either of them really care that much? [just saying.] But okay, tall and wide enough. I think we can manage that perfectly fine.

[halved]

Well, no. But I care.

[residentflorist]

I guess that makes sense, too. [there's a short nod.] I'll ask around and see what I can do and if people can help out. We have a little time before then.
