[ Gives a cheery little wave! ]

Didn't mean to startle you.

[halved]

You didn't. [he did.] I'm fine.

[tactic]

I'm glad to hear that you're fine.

[ :) ]

Scratches, huh? [ Back to the table. ] Don't think any of us made these.

[halved]

But they weren't here before. What could've made them?

[tactic]

Perhaps the same invisible forces clattering around in the refectory?

[halved]

Right. So... someone invisible who could still be in the room with us.

[tactic]

... Someone invisible who is surely kind and merciful to their new cohabitants.

[ CAN YOU HEAR HIM GHOST ]

[halved]

[...

pauses as if to see if schrodinger's ghost is about to kick their asses.]

[tactic]

[ Also pauses... Waiting...

Nothing. ]

Think we're in the clear.

[halved]

[she sighs in relief, just a little.]

Then I guess whatever made them didn't stick around.

[tactic]

Oh, I'm sure they'll come back. The ghostly kitchen staff doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

[ And as bland as their food tastes, they kind of need to stay so that everyone doesn't starve to death. ]

[halved]

... I don't want to think about the kitchen staff. Who knows what's in that flavorless mush they feed us?

[tactic]

What? Don't think you've been feeling like yourself these past couple of days?

[halved]

Huh? What do you mean?

[tactic]

Just wanting to make sure they haven't put anything strange in our food.

[halved]

I mean, we don't know where they're getting these ingredients at all.

[tactic]

[ This is why he's mostly been eating the bland salad and bread. You can't do weird things to salad.... right. ]

Thinking about it too much will only cause strains. At least we're being fed.

[halved]

... Right. Better to just assume that it's magic, as long as there's nothing poisonous in it.

[tactic]

Haven't died so far!

[ TRIES TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD A LITTLE ]

[halved]

[looks at tag date NOT THE MID INVEST DEATH FLAG HELPPP... THE ABSOLUTE POWER MOVE...

but in the past where these are still not famous last words, asa grimaces.]

I hope it stays that way.

[tactic]

... Thank you.

[ winks... so much for that... ]
