[ I'm Sure It's Fine And Will Cause No Problems

anyways he's got like. idk. a whole ass picnic basket of sandwiches in one hand. and a rolled up blanket and pillow under his other arm.

:> ]

Not all of these are just for you - at least three are mine.

[sideline]

[ nothing is fine in this game and everything causes me problems... but that's cute of him.

except when he realizes just how many sandos he has brought. like hello??? ]

D, did you make those yourself just after the trial?

[ we'll skip the part where at least three of them are for ludger himself. ]

[chromatized]

Yeah? It's bread and toppings, it's not that hard.

[ what, Fran never zones out while doing a task? and then overdoes it? ]

You've just started getting actual doses of sunlight - gotta keep the pace up with regular meals too.

[sideline]

It's not, but it's still a lot to do for just a few people.

[ not saying he doesn't but he does it in different ways. ]

But thank you, even if I think you worry too much. I've made sure to get proper sunlight and meals.

[chromatized]

What, are you saying you don't want my cooking? What a shame...

[ guess he'll have to give this all to the well....... ]

[sideline]

I never said that!

[ at the same time— ]

...I also haven't had your cooking before either. I don't think.

[chromatized]

You're not sure?

[ assuming Ludger hasn't been dropping food off once he realized Fran was in here....... ]

If you've been trying any of the leftovers in the kitchen, at least some of them were made by me.

[sideline]

[ we can work with that assumption safely: ]

You and Shinjiro, right? I've noticed that the two of you spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen even though it can cook for us.

[ not that he doesn't understand. ...though also he doesn't understand because this man is a basic bitch when it comes to cooking. ]

[chromatized]

Well, part of it is that I enjoy cooking. The other part is... that I don't trust the spirits in there. So I make all of my own meals.

[ they're sus, okay! ]

[sideline]

[ ...... ]

I don't think I've thought about it that way. I've always treated it as a connivence.

[ overworked man takes freebies from spirits. ]

[chromatized]

Maybe it doesn't really matter - I'm making everything out of the same ingredients, after all. But leaving it to their whims makes me uneasy.

[ ... ]

Plus... I keep seeing dishes that really shouldn't be here.

looks at the way i misspelled the word/used the wrong word entirely and looks away.

[sideline]

[ he understands. probably?? ]

Dishes that shouldn't be here? What do you mean?

the conniving citchen

[chromatized]

As in, the people who made the soup recipes are dead. But I keep seeing bowls of their cooking here.

[ he sighs, clearly more tired than angry over the whole thing ]

You haven't had anything like that?

i shouldn't be tagging after trial

[sideline]

Truthfully, I don't spend too much time in the cafeteria or the kitchen to notice. I typically just grab what I need and then get back to work.

[ fran not beating the allegations of being a shut-in.... ]

I TOLD YOU TO REST

[chromatized]

You're going to give yourself a brain-jam at that rate. Were you about to do some more research tonight, too?

I DID.......

[sideline]

[ me 🤝 fran, overworking ourselves. method rping.

but he'll laugh sheepishly. ]

I was—there's a lot going on and so many people want answers and a cure for what's happening.

CLEARLY NOT...........

[chromatized]

Do you think you're going to solve it tonight?

[ ... ]

Oh yeah, do you need another sample?

I'M GOOD!!!!

[sideline]

No, I think I'm good without another sample from you. I know how to be efficient with the samples that I've received but—

[ and with that fran isn't going to say else and will just sit there for a moment with his thoughts.

hmmm. ]

I'll be curious to see what will happen tomorrow—if anything does happen.

/doubt

[chromatized]

Yeah... It'll be interesting.

[ ... ]

... Where do you think... the people the hands grab go?

well at least i got plenty of sleep last night....

[sideline]

...I don't know but— [ ... ] I might have a theory.

It's much too soon to share it, since I want to check it with Y'shtola.

one day of repentance does not forgive all your sleep crimes...

[chromatized]

Because of her... what was it, her aether vision?

[ Ludger hums in thought ]

Right, I should ask if she's seen the mausoleum yet.

i've been very good this whole game!!!!!!

[sideline]

Correct, she has insight to things that I—

[ excuse him for a moment. ]

T, the mausoleum?! We have a mausoleum here?

/Doubt!!!!!!

[chromatized]

Well, that's what I'm calling it, but I guess everyone else thinks of it as the museum.

[ unless... ]

Have you seen inside it? It could just be another room 305 thing and it's actually fine.

IT'S TRUE!!!!

[sideline]

[ gazes through the screen and beyond that even more. ]

I haven't been able to access since I've been here. Honestly, I find it a bit too creepy to get too close to.

:/a

[chromatized]

[ don't gaze at me you chose this life ]

... That was probably the smart call. I'm pretty sure it's haunted.
