[ Shifts his attention. ]

This how you pick up girls? [ Passes him a bottle. ] Hold onto this for today until I stop losing my mind.

[ It is... A small wooden box, with runes engraved into its cover. Inside is a writhing stick bug. It never stops moving, never resting, as if constantly in pain. ]

Weird item from a room at the end of the trip. [ Rolls his eyes. ] Vin has the other one.

[bookpapers]

It's how I take care of the people I like.

[SHUT UP ABOUT PICKING UP GIRLS!!!! also NOT THE WRITHING STICK BUG!!! THIS IS SO FREAKY!!!!

Lavi will take it though because he's intrigued,]

At least it's not a tooth faerie... [...] So it was just you and Vin the entire time?

[situationship]

[ I really said bottle but it's a box. It's better for Lavi to temporarily hold onto it so Satoru can have mental breakdowns without an important item on hand. ]

Yeah, though there were other people there, too, which is normal for these things, right?

[ ... ]

They felt pretty real.

[bookpapers]

[he'll hold onto it during this thread then,]

I saw a bunch of people from the town. And someone from back home.

It felt real, but I couldn’t trust it.

[situationship]

Normally, I'd be the same, but there was something about the trip that made me believe they were there and seamlessly part of the setting.

You were there, too! Nona was pretty excited to see you. I kicked you after seeing Shoko—she's mine and Suguru's classmate.

[bookpapers]

[he looks startled at this]

So you saw a friend from home and someone from town who died?

...Were you close to Nona?

[situationship]

... As close as anyone could be at the time of her death?

[ Which is relative, but based on his tone not super much. ]

Erin was there, too, if we're going to talk about some dead people there. I don't think they were real, but they seemed pretty real.

[bookpapers]

[why is this the funniest cyoa group]

Weird... I was thinking that whoever we see on those trips are people we've got some kind of connection to. I can see Nona for Vin -- maybe she still feels guilty about her, but Erin?

[lavi liked erin but he does not think of erin first when he thinks of who gojo and vin are close to]

[situationship]

Maybe Vin should feel guilty.

[ this is just bitchy and really unreasonable. ]

... I don't know. I'm already having trouble figuring out what parts happened and what didn't. It gets weird when you're there for a while and every time you die you revive.

[ this is so funny ]

[bookpapers]

[I FORGOT HE STILL HATES VIN IN THIS PC

anyway that immediately distracts him,]

You died too?! [GOJO..... HE'S WORRIED] What -- were you fighting spiders the whole time?

[situationship]

Twice! And no. There were all sorts of monsters... The first one was an ugly four-legged monster that had black fur, but its face was flat? I'm not sure how to explain it because it looked like a black void. The second, there was a second Nona that appeared in the church while we were fighting Suguru... But she disappeared? Some time after I buried him and Kuroi, I came back. Then there was this large wolf monster there and I think it killed the other three.

[ he talks about this like it is an everyday occurrence... but it seems empty and hollow. ]

The blood was inviting. Every time some splattered or dripped on me, I gained power—and I started seeing things clearly. [ This is the only part that elicits emotion, though it's a little crazed before it deflates. ] Unlike here... Where it feels like I don't see anything at all. What is wrong with my eyes?

[bookpapers]

[hmmmmmMMMMMMMMmMMMMMMM]

Nothing's wrong with 'em. It's a side-effect from your trip. I had one too -- my heart felt like there was a machine in it, and I couldn't breathe sometimes.

[though Gojo's sounds far more intense than his,]

What happened after?

[situationship]

... After...? After where?

[ Just becomes lost. ]

Do you mean the giant dog? I'm pretty sure it ate me, like it ate the other three.

[bookpapers]

[NOT THE VORE

but he nods slowly, and thinks about how he wished he brought another sweet potato...]

You want some painkillers?

[situationship]

[ ... ]

Right. They force fed me pills and it turned me into a monster instantly.

[bookpapers]

[NO]




I take it back......

[situationship]

... They were made out of blood, I think, since they were red.

But I'm good on painkillers. It doesn't hurt too bad after a swamp dip.

[ Because he is a sorcerer and he has went through awful things. ]

[bookpapers]

[yeah he doesn't trust that his pain threshold isn't insane since gojo is a SORCERER]

Alright. I think you're more sensible about your ouchies than I was, at least.

[situationship]

I definitely am. I love being pampered, unlike you.

[ Spoil him with good health. ]

Shoko's healing is a lot better than the swamp, though.

[bookpapers]

[PAMPERED.... baby]

Yeah? Wish I could meet her. [THE ONE JJK HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO KISS!!!] Does she heal the same way you did in that memory?

[gojo just getting up after being fcking stabbed 5000 times]

[situationship]

[ you don't think geto and gojo would also get weird about that ]

Yeah! But she can heal other people.

[ Frowning... ]

I haven't been able to figure out how to do that yet. I can only heal myself.

[bookpapers]

[HE DOESN'T KNOW THEY'RE AN OT3 POLYCULE OKAY]

You're just like Yuu! He can only heal himself too.

[every day i d*e over the accidental rhyming]

[situationship]

He gets so fussy...

[ he's about to say more but then he has a sanity slip ]

[bookpapers]

[HIS SANITY SLIP]

-- Satoru? You okay?

[situationship]

I keep thinking there's something here watching us, but my eyes can't see it... I need more blood for clarity and power.

[ ... ]

I think you just have to knock me out.
