I had a feeling it was something like that.... that explains why Master Blue et all can't be too direct. We need to do this on our even, even if we are acting in their stead.
So, we have to take the house on itself. I'm guessing it'll be more than just breaking it.
Perhaps... But procuring another dose will be difficult. She implied that some of their research was been destroyed by the house, and the rest has been discarded entirely because of certain discoveries they made further down the line.
[Which is fun and great and sexy, you know.]
Have you spoken to Peach-san since Monday? She seemed interested in discussing alternatives with you.
[ in midst of plot he does notice luna's distress, and puts his hand on her shoulder gently. ]
I heard something interesting from Peach.... about revivals. If I keep it at the forefront of my mind, and keep working... it's possible that all of us can be revived. Including those guests who passed in previous rounds.
[She starts at Phoenix's touch, glancing at the hand on her shoulder before rapidly turning her eyes back to the floor.
JUST. NOT GONNA SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. IT'S FINE.]
I... I haven't, Akechi, no. Monday was mostly spent with the two of you, and I... I still don't remember what happened to me on Tuesday.
I had planned to look into things with Brilith today, but... if this really is the case, and we're dealing with something that has more of a reach than we do, then I think I'm going to need to, um... change my point of view a little.
[Thanks, Phoenix, for being the Watson of this group... Akechi will just keep regurgitating plot while Luna's distress grows. It just be like that.]
She mentioned something similar a few weeks ago. Obviously... our success is the prerequisite. If we fail, everyone will remain dead and the cycle will continue.
[He sighs, crossing his arms and leaning against the door.]
I've possibly been approaching this from a... a far too scientific angle. It's why I had mentioned immunoglobulins - that's what the basis for vaccines like Axelavir are made from. I... I had assumed that Hunter might have something worth observing in his biological makeup that could be replicated. We had that kind of technology where I worked, after all - so long as a steady base could be made, it could be replicated.
But... I wonder how much this can really be influenced by the house.
Phoenix-san, have you told anyone else about this?
[Because that's... important. And maybe something they should keep to themselves for now.]
I'm not familiar with the process, Luna. But you are, and so is Peach-san. I wouldn't discard your previous idea until we have confirmed that Hunter's immunity isn't something you can study. Whatever the house is doing is at least biological enough that Asch-san was infected by Meltryllis-san.
Ha ha. How do you think this lot would handle it, given that they're already freaking out about everything else?
[ that's a no, akechi. ]
That being said, if we succeed we will secure revivals for everyone... that includes you two. [ yeah bitch he asked ]
Goro's right, though, Luna. It's worth looking into. Didn't Master Blue themselves ask you to? So maybe it's something even the housegod can't stop you from doing, if you manage it.
[He hums in acknowledgement, but doesn't react beyond that.]
Master Blue encouraged me to share what I learned, so I plan to speak to Akira. People gather around him. Distributing information and swaying the other's opinions will be easier through someone like him.
I agree. I don't think he can reach everyone, but... part of me thinks he would definitely try. Maybe not to the extent that someone like Galo would, but Akira has at least some finesse about things.
[Galo is who we call if we need a small child running around going FIRE FIRE FIRE]
I think out of the three of us, though, you would know how to approach him the best about something like this. Right?
We have known each other for almost a year now, so I suppose you could say that. [That Rank 10...] Thymos-san will likely be one of the individuals he will approach, as well. Our information will spread throughout the group, sooner or later.
[Hmm... That said...]
He knows I was in possession of a crystal ball, so I will tell him I asked for the right time to request an audience with Blue. It will explain why I no longer have it after Amada-kun's story.
I'll stay quiet for now. While I think the spread of information is important... I think there might be some suspicion if people can start to link information back to the three of us. But... I can play the fool, at least, and send them to one of you.
That's alright. I already have a reputation for asking too many questions, so feel free to rely on me. I will spread any information we find pertinent.
[He will be enough of a busybody for everyone in this group. It's fine.]
By the way, that reminds me... We should continue acting as we did before in public. It will look suspicious if we're suddenly too close to each other.
What I'll be doing won't really change, regardless. I... think it works best that way, anyway. I'm not really sure what kind of persona I've made for myself at this point, but... at the very least, people will still be looking for me if there's a crisis. Even if I'm... um... [hahah. yknow. arm. face. that whole.... thing...........]
[YEAH... YEAH... The arm gets a pointed glance as she trails off. Hm.]
That goes for you as well. [Please don't break, Dr. Roomba...] But if we have nothing else to share, let's end things here for today and recovine at a later time. We have work to do.

I... [There's a pause, then a sigh, a little more rattled than it probably should be. Her hand lifts to rub idly at the scar on her face.]
I'll... try my best. If I can discover anything before Friday, I... I'll let you both know.
no subject
He has spent the past five weeks thinking he will simply disappear, so he's not... actually sure what to do with this. What the fuck.]
... I see. Then, let's keep it to ourselves. [Back to business. It's not the time to examine his feelings.] Morale is low as it is.
[... Anyway...]
You know how to reach us through the application. A text will suffice if you discover anything.
no subject
[ just going to get that out before they both dodge their feelings ]
[ join the talent agency ]
I'm going to try talking to Master Blue myself. We should keep each other posted with our results.
no subject
Okay. I'll try to find Peach and discuss some options, then. I... feel like I've wasted enough time already.
What about you, Akechi?

Master Blue encouraged me to share what I learned, so I plan to speak to Akira. People gather around him. Distributing information and swaying the other's opinions will be easier through someone like him.

Akira is a good bet. He's already piecing things together.... and he does have a certain amount of charisma.
