[NORMAL BLOOD WAHOO.]

Oh. Was that the infection? The black stuff?

It was a symptom of it. To be honest, it wasn't clear what exactly what was going on, but the townspeople claimed to... be the substance?

[What the hell is going on in yalls neck of the insane ass woods out there hello.]

...? So people were in your veins?

To be honest, I'm not sure at all. But probably something like that, given the hivemind nature of the people.

I've never seen anything like that before.

[A hivemind... Sounds fuckin wild.]

You were part of it, then? What'd it want?

While I was hearing voices, I'm still not clear on what end goal they were driving me towards. Hien, however, seemed to have an obsession with the water, although I don't know if it was the same infection or something else.

[What the hell yall.]

Huh. Well, no voices and no weird blood now, at least. Just the stuff missing from the river? Nothing else?

Nothing else that I'm aware of.

[Nodding, nodding...]

I've heard different things from different people. It's not as bad when you go in without dying, right?

I'd rather not use it regardless, but yes, I didn't notice any additional complications or feel that I had lost progress.

That's good, that's good.

[Also good because he can now be a little less concerned something like that may have happened to Tokinaga.]

So you're just dizzy, mostly?

[using lucien because you know tokinaga wouldn't tell you shit...]

That and feeling oddly weak, I suppose. Perhaps I have a fever coming on...

[Maybe so... Maybe so.......]

Fever? Maybe you just got sick from being in the cold.

... No. This is something I'm used to.

Falling into rivers and getting fevers about it?

[okay the last time he fell into a body of water pre-cyoa was because he deliberately jumped thank you very much]

I don't normally fall into rivers.

[IS DELIBERATELY JUMPING INTO RIVERS REALLY ANY BETTER.]

Jumping or being thrown into rivers and getting fevers about it.

[it is when you're trying to [redacted]]

I have no relationships with rivers at all!

[CAN YOU STOP DOING WHATEVER THAT IS.]

So it's just the randomly getting fevers part?

Yes. It is simply an issue with me.

Don't keel over.

[Or Tokinaga will be sad...]

I'm not going to.

[tokinaga wouldn't have to know?]

Good!

[TOKINAGA WOULD FIND OUT.]

[MAYBE HE WOULDN'T!!!

anyhow, they make it to the front of lucien's room because i think they were walking there the entire time for this convo.]

... Thank you for accompanying me this far. I apologize for the trouble.

[IN WHAT VERSION OF REALITY.

i love when threads go on for so long that i forget what's happening in them BUT YES... It's fine. Now Obikawa knows where Lucien lives.]

Sure, sure. It'd have been worse if you just threw up all over the hall and died there or whatever. Go rest!
