requiemed | pc catchall for yu (covenantal)

[ his mouth does this like.

kinda squiggly thing?

everyone has been judging the shit out of him and he knows he deserves it. ]

I got trapped in Fortune's room.

[ FOR DAYS. ]

...What did you do.

[SHE'S SO TIRED!!]

The mechanism to get back out was well hidden. It ... took me some time, to find it.

...Did you at least find anything helpful?

I found something pretty surprising, alright, [ he'll murmur, mild as anything.

which.

????????? ]

Are you going to elaborate on that, or...?

[Yu, please.]

[ He hesitates, which is fairly uncharacteristic for him. ]

... I don't mind telling you, but I'll have to ask you don't try to enter Fortune's room yourself without letting me know. Is that alright?

[She nods without much hesitation.]

I promise.

[ Yu nods in return, seeming reassured enough. ]

I don't know if I could call Haze a pet. It can talk.

[ what

what? ]

But that's what I found. A small creature that calls itself Haze.

[...]

Can it talk? Can I see it?

... Haze was pretty upset about Fortune.

[ he says this softly. ]

Would you mind waiting until next week? I'm going to check up on Haze as soon as I can, and when I do, I can ask if it's alright for me to bring a friend.

[She nods.]

I'll wait until you think it's a good time. [But...] You missed a lot.

So I've heard. [ with soft regret. ] Catch me up?

[ what he really said was: you okay? ]

I fought a minotaur, then got thrown out a window after someone aimed a javelin at my face. Oh, that was just Tuesday. Wednesday was when I had to deal with getting attacked by snakes that could fly and spit venom.

[ZOE]

You're the one who got thrown out a window?

[ zOE ]

... you've had it rough. [ understatement of the week. ]

Me and two others. They cushioned the fall, it's fine.

[Or something like that, at least.]

...I think it was probably worth it.

... is it?

[ mostly to himself. this is an actual question, prompting: ]

Yeah?

[She starts counting off on her fingers.]

Medical supplies. Magic healing food. Other assorted magical items... And clues about the next trial.

[ he nods slowly, duly impressed ]

Well done. Aside from the window.

The window might have actually been Connor's fault. He was the last one to touch something, I think.

[Or that's how she's going to interpret this, at least.]

... I see.

[ distantly, like he's still taking this in. he is so tired. ]

Can you tell me about the clues you found?

One part of it already came true... There were multiple crimes.

The other parts we heard were - we'd have to look at members of our own teams, and everything might not be the way it appears at first.

... members of our own--?

[ oh.

that's unsettling. ]

This is the second time we're hearing that things aren't what they appear to be. Ambition said that during the trial last week as well, right? That we were missing something obvious.

I'm not sure if it meant factions, or... Cunning warned that it's always accurate, but it can be misleading.

[She nods.]

Love told me the same thing before the first trial.

Everything isn't the way it seems... it's been a running theme for the whole game, feels like. [ He dips his head a little, his brow furrowed in deep thought. ] So what are we missing? We must need to look at things another way. If we figure that out, we might have a better understanding of what it means to "look at members of our own teams."
