[ For some reason, they are huddled in a corner of the cafeteria. Claude is offering Byleth a chicken sandwich. Dimitri is passed out, in a manner not unlike Snorlax in Pokemon Red, Yellow and Green.
This is fine. ]
Start at the beginning. Where were you? What did you have to do?
[she closes her eyes, shutting them tight, simply breathing for a moment.
when she continues, her eyes stay shut, and her voice has taken on a quiet twang of anguish.]
...They showed us a video. My Father was alive, but hostage. We had to battle in order to... save him.
It was all a trick, but I...
[she's not telling this right. she tries again.]
I had a concussion. I don't know how. That's the part I don't remember. When I saw the video, everything was swimmingā€”I could barely tell up from down in the moment.
If I'd been more in my right mind, I would have approached it differently... but nothing made any sense. It wasn't until Rupert healed me that I started being able to focus.
I was just attacking. Caleb lit Dimitri on fire. One of my words disabled Rupert's arm. Rupert attacked Caleb, but when Dimitri slit his throat open, he also healed him.
So essentially, you woke up in the room with a stranger, they created a bizarre scenario where your minds were... confused, and you nearly killed one another before killing them?
[ actually, he's just going to pull out his phone and show claude a picture. ]
It could mean that those were were "expelled" could be at this... daycare instead. [ he doesn't think the dead can be brought back so no comment on those murdered. ]
[ for the record, he has been stabbed in both shoulders, which i thought was very funny
he glances at his shoulder, then off at nothing in particular. ]
...We were all separated and attacked individually. [ he seems to consider his words for a moment, before he just frowns. ] It seems the Professor was the only one who did not experience it.

when claude asks his question, she turns, and looks a little hesitant.]
I'm... maybe not the best person to ask.
There's some things I'm still not clear about. But we...
[...]
...Battled.
no subject
[ quelle surprise ]
Do you remember anything resembling a goal?

Caleb and I suddenly appeared in a room, and...

It was a good trick.

[ He doesn't bother smoothing over his stormy expression, glaring at the wall a moment before taking a breath.
It's fine.
He moves next to Byleth, looking down at Dimitri. ]
Did he get all patched up?
no subject
I think things will happen soon.
And he'll be in good hands tonight.
[she sighs, and pockets the device.]
We had to rhyme words to attack each other.
no subject
[ lmao ]
no subject
We didn't have a choice.

I was just attacking. Caleb lit Dimitri on fire. One of my words disabled Rupert's arm. Rupert attacked Caleb, but when Dimitri slit his throat open, he also healed him.
[she's just rattling off what happened.]
Only Rupert could heal anyone.
no subject
Who took off your arm?
no subject
It was a... combination of things.
no subject
[ guess who's awake now. he's sitting up with a small grimace, but generally looking less dead than before, if just as tired. ]
In the end we killed... you might call him the host of the whole scenario. That ended it.
no subject
It was both of us.
My attack turned on me, and... Dimitri's. It was an accident.
[but she nods as he continues.]
It was the same person who we first met in the scenario... he was the last thing I remember before waking up in the room with Caleb.

Rupert tells me we found a sheet of paper at the end of it. For what little that is worth.
no subject
I saw the paper. I think it may have been worth it.
It was a list of namesā€”those that have diedā€”as "sign-in" sheet for daycare.
no subject
He thinks about it. ]
A daycare... meaning they've been returned to the earliest stage of schooling? Is the list just those that were murdered, or also those expelled?
no subject
It had everyone regardless of means of death.
[ actually, he's just going to pull out his phone and show claude a picture. ]
It could mean that those were were "expelled" could be at this... daycare instead. [ he doesn't think the dead can be brought back so no comment on those murdered. ]
no subject
[she hopes they will, too.
but. something has been bothering her. and now that dimitri is back awake...
with her good arm, she taps her own left shoulder, now bandaged, and gives dimitri a pointed look.]
Where did that come from?
no subject
he glances at his shoulder, then off at nothing in particular. ]
...We were all separated and attacked individually. [ he seems to consider his words for a moment, before he just frowns. ] It seems the Professor was the only one who did not experience it.
no subject
I see.
[she stares at him a little longer, pinning him down with the weight of the lookā€”then lets it go.]
...Claude, what do you think of the list.
