[ damn he won't be born for another ten years... ]
Okay, well... toward the end of the century, they came out with these cell phones that transmitted by waves in the air or something instead of using lines, so they didn't have cords and you could take them with you anywhere. Then in the 2000s they came out with smartphones, which basically also work as a computer... and camera and music player and video game system. Like, pretty much anything involving communication or media.
Anyway, that's what this is.

[ IT HELPS THAT HE LIVED THROUGH ALL OF THESE MILESTONES AND ACTUALLY REMEMBERS USING ROTARY PHONES AND SHIT AS A KID ]
It's got a rechargeable battery inside it! You just plug it into a source of electricity to charge it again.
Unfortunately we don't... have those... so it's going to be dead for good in a few minutes here unless I can convince those cult guys to give me a generator or something.

A generator would be handy to have in general, actually... the phone alone is plenty of reason to ask for one.
Trying to tune into the radio... calling for help.
[ Granted he feels like. Maybe Todomatsu is smart enough to have tried that. So far he doesn't give off dingus energy. Still, doesn't mean they should just give up this avenue? ]
Have you tried asking any of the four we met this past Sunday yet?

Yeah, unfortunately the waves don't seem to reach outside of this pocket dimension, or whatever the hell it is. Definitely tried calling the police first thing when I got it, and nooo signal whatsoever.
[ sighs... and shakes his head. ]
I meant to write them about that this morning, but then, you know. [ LEECHES HAPPENED AND HE GOT UPSET AND DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT. ] I'll do it in a little bit here.
If you want to separately ask them for a power source that might not be a bad idea, though. Maybe they'll cave if enough people keep bothering them for the same things.

Could be good to keep it open regardless... even a short burst of access could change things.
Unfortunately I've exhausted my first boon. I asked for extra medical supplies which I got pretty quickly. That's a good sign at least.
If we have other things we'd like to think about though, I can ask next time.

[ shrugs. ]
As well as can be expected, I guess.
[ which is Not Great, but that's mostly for theater and karma reasons. ]
How about you?

...Yeah, that sounds about right.
[ he cares too much about his skin and how he smells to smoke outside of rare social occasions, but. man. sighs. ]
I'd thought we wouldn't have to worry about dying early because they'd want to make sure to keep us alive for the two months until the ritual, but there goes that one point of optimism.

[ Their bath situation is actually Todomatsu's personal nightmare. ]
No. It's looking decidedly less like a mass sacrifice and more a gradual offering... little by little.
[ Running a hand through his hair. ]
It still opens the avenue of maybe attempting to intercept before we reach some kind of ponit of no return, but...
It's going to be much more difficult now.

[ it's fine, his innate cuteness is keeping him smelling fresh........
he nods. ]
And now this monster thing's an even bigger liability than we thought it was. Like, it was already creepy, but it seemed like you could pretty much opt out of the whole system if you wanted to. Now we're all just ticking monster time bombs.

Mm.
[ His outward reaction is really mild but it's probably a lot more telling how the black words begin to scrawl over his arms in creepy moving lettering, like spiders skittering over his sleeves. AGAIN. AGAIN. AGAIN. ]
We'll want to make sure it never gets to that point. How, I don't know -- I only know how to treat diseases and injury, not this... but the next best thing I can do is try to look at it like one.

[ ah. yeah, that's... definitely saying something. ]
...Well, I guess if you come up with something, let me know if I can do something to help with it. [ ... ] Preferably not lab rat stuff.

...I wouldn't ask you to do something like that, Mr. Matsuno.
[ Jeez, what kind of person do you think he is. Karma? ]
Though I'll keep it in mind, if something doesn't look like a one-person job... or if I need more eyes.
...
That's not meant to be funny.

[ you know it probably would have gone over his head if it hadn't been pointed out, but since it has been, that gets his first actual smile of the day. ]
Okay, got it.
Okay, got it.
[ no don't offer to wait on him this will bite you in the ass someday when he's more comfortable with everyone ]
Mm, I'm okay right now, but thanks!
Maybe ask again if you ever see me coming out from the wine cellar, though.

Oh, no, I totally am. Buuut not necessarily the best at holding it. Especially when it's on an empty stomach.
[ which it very often is here because the food sucks!! ]
[ which it very often is here because the food sucks!! ]
True. At least you're aware of that, because a lot of people aren't.
Couldn't blame you if you tried it though. We all have our limits, and sometimes we want to change it up a little before it gets overwhelming.
[ You can drink alcohol to restore sanity in his canon so. You know. He gets it. ]
Wish we had something nicer. Then at least we could make a decent real drink or two.

Seriously. Maybe someone can make that their request for this week, if they're willing to share.

[ Just saying!! He cannot legally judge someone for drinking to forget the horrors here, doctor or not.
He sighs. ]
Mr. Aventurine and Mr. Boothill both knew their alcohol. [ A shame...... ] Tempting, but we'll see. As nice as it'd be, I'm sure we can all think of more vital things to request.
