[ okay so after beau sits on phoenix to make him not leave --

here's beau in the library just laying out on the floor. she's staring up at the ceiling just like, totally dead-eyed, but if you come over to her and try to talk to her, she tilts her head in your direction and offers a very small smile. ]

Hey. You doing okay?

[survivaltricks]

[WELL. . . HERE WE ARE. LOCKED IN A LIBRARY. i wonder what knowledge we'll get tomorrow]

Is it weird I'm excited that they're going to be knocking us out tonight.

[presumably]

[disreguarded]

No, because I'm also really fucking looking forward to it. [ she sighs, closing her eyes. ] I don't think I've ever gone this long before. My brain - is mush. I don't - how're we supposed to figure anything out if we can't think?

[survivaltricks]

We're not.

[because they DID SO WELL last week. either way, he flops onto the ground and stares up at the ceiling]

That might be the point. Give us a reason to kill even more.

[disreguarded]

[ she frowns heavily. ]

Probably. I don't know how I'd kill anything when standing sounds like a chore. [ a long pause, and then: ] Lemme pick your brain about something. Isaac said you're smart.

[survivaltricks]

I know I wouldn't.

[not that he'd kill AT ALL because MURDER SUCKS. but Beau asking that question gets a curious noise from Akira, and he sits up again]

. . . I don't know about "smart," but sure. Hit me.

[disreguarded]

[ she also pulls herself up to sit, slowly. maybe she groans under her breath. ]

Okay. Look at these. [ she pulls out a fistful of papers from her tracksuit jacket.

The first is a list of names:

Fridge #1: Jessica Jones
Fridge #2: Sora
Fridge #3: Adrien Agreste
Fridge #4: Oerba Dia Vanille
Fridge #5: Rocket Raccoon
Fridge #6: Varian
Fridge #7: Cloud Strife
Fridge #8: Joel
Fridge #9: Rise Kujikawa
Fridge #10: Elizabeth
Fridge #11: Yosuke Hanamura
Fridge #12: Goro Majima
Fridge #13: Perseus Jackson
Fridge #14: Timothy Drake
Fridge #15: Prince Sidon ]

Hunter gave me these. From the morgue. And in the hospital, there were a bunch of patient sheets.

[ And she shows him four sheets of paper. Most of it is medical jargon. At the top of the first, there's the letters Y and K in the name field, with, in blue ink, a note: "Young, but did not appreciate the lollipop. Leg healing fine. Had a little visitor today as well. Visitor did appreciate lollipop."

The second and third has D E P S and M B I S in the name fields. Blue ink: "Twins. Even get sick together. Fascinating." While the second says: "Recommended a few tricks even after they coughed up blood. Worth looking into. Also recommended nurses instead."

The last has the letters TA K OH. The blue ink reads: "Prince?????" ]

[recrypt]

[ from somewhere across the room, hearing that she got some sort of list from Hunter: ]

-Oh, he made a copy?

[ the copy works? ]

[disreguarded]

I couldn't see the original. It was all smudged. But the copy worked.

[recrypt]

I don't think the photos Akechi took...

[ Hm. ]

Well, that simplifies things a great deal. Previous guests. Kept in cells, apparently, research subjects after death.

Whoever was studying them seemed rather fascinated by how long they stayed functional, but how quickly their minds went.

They were concerned about how long they could hold them for.

[disreguarded]

[ HAHAHA THAT'S. BAD. ]

Fuck. [ she pauses. and then, louder: ] FUCK!

Nobody knows where the corpses go after trials, do they?

[madburnout]

[hi im just butting in]

Peach stated they have had guests before. She did not mention they were as hospital patients.

[recrypt]

-Experiments.

[madburnout]

[




lol



a really sharp intake of breath at that. Crossing his arms tightly.]

[disreguarded]

[ where is lio beau wants to put a hand on his shoulder :C ]

[recrypt]

[ yeah






Yeah, she gets you, Lio. ]

[survivaltricks]

[hahahahahahahahahahaha]

[pornography]

H-Hah, it's always experiments, isn't it?

[recrypt]

Isn't it always?

[survivaltricks]

[a funny expression crosses Akira's face as he reads these names, gaze lingering on number nine for a. . . surprisingly lengthy amount of time. eventually, he reaches out to point at Rise's name, finger tapping against the paper]

This girl. She's from the world Akechi and I are from.

[his voice is even]

. . . Akechi told me he saw her reanimated corpse in the morgue.

[disreguarded]

We saw corpses all stitched together, in the hospital. I think he's been experimenting with people.

I wanted to match the names. The only one that kind of fits is Y/K with Yosuke Hanamura. And the Prince, but the letters don't match, so they had two princes.

[survivaltricks]

[mrrrrrrrgh]

Did hunter tell you about the research note they found?

[recrypt]

Perseus was also stitched together.

[burningrescue]

What?

[Normally, this is where in the long explanation, he'd fall asleep, but. He can't.]

What's it mean...? Who are these people?

[recrypt]

Other guests. The detective apparently recognized one of them.

They started waking up after he said her name.

[ Coincidence??? ]
