[ Ignores the sass. ]

There was one note regarding the birth of the infantile god, and another anonymous and pretty vague one in regards to a dangerous, distant dimension.

Aside that, it's been suggested to me that some items brought back from the Thursday ventures may actually have higher significance.

Ah... yeah, those were the ones Kate-chan and Yuffie-chan shared with all of us, I think.

Lavi's group and mine both brought back what seemed like... pieces of some kind of living thing, that we were thinking might be parts of that god or something. We got a wing and they got a tongue.

[ now that i think of it, i looked at too many tongues last week... ugh. ]

...Oh, and I think they got a... jar of teeth too?

[ there's not a voiced thought explicitly saying so but his thought process for jogging that memory was definitely "tongue -> tomi's corpse -> pocket tooth" ]

And we got... a creepy worm, for some reason.

[ ...Looking inside of everyone's mouths was rather unnecessary, I think... ]

Yes, I saw the. Tongue in a box, as well as the fairy in a jar.

[ He frowns. ]

The wing and worm are news to me though. You still have them? On top of the burlap dolls...?

Alfyn does, yeah.

And you all got a burlap doll each, correct? But only one of the wing and worm...?

Right. The doll was... related to what happened to us in that other world. The other things we just found in a weird room we got pulled into on the way back, so I don't know if there's any link between them. It sounds like that room is always the same no matter where you get sent before.

A weird room...? Interesting. This is something good to keep in mind and maybe coordinate with everyone who's gone so far? Maybe they should be kept together someplace safe overall.

[ Wing... worm... teeth... tongue. Chrysalis? Ecdysis. ]

Ah... yeah, Lavi and I were kind of wondering if that room had anything to do with the secret place the note was talking about. Both of us could hear voices outside when we passed through, and it definitely felt like a place that was being hidden from someone.

I'm not sure about keeping the pieces together, though. I mean, we don't want this thing to be summoned, right? Wouldn't it make it easier if all the parts were in one place?

Recognisable voices?

...Normally I'd say surely you'd need to conduct the ritual, or have all the pieces... but I guess we are lacking in any further information and don't know the rules to magic in this place.

Just thinking in the sense of... if someone were to die, their bodies and belongings disappear. It might be a problem if this were among their possessions.

[ shakes his head ]

I didn't recognize them, anyway.

[ ... ]

I feel like those things from that room belong to everyone who was there, at least, not just the person who's actively carrying them around. So I don't think that would be anything to worry about unless Alfyn, Geto-kun and I all died on the same day.

...I guess I don't really have any proof of that, though. Just a vibe.

[ Shared loot...! ]

Unlikely, but not impossible.

Let's hope that never happens.

Haha...

[ well, with our shitty luck so far... ]

I guess I could make a will or something just in case. Is that legally binding here?

[ ...A will... I wonder if the Baron left one behind. Whether I'm even on it. Probably not. Couldn't even be bothered to send me one last farewell. Not even from Elise... ]

I don't think it'd be legally binding, but who really cares. None of us are lawyers and it's not like the cult's enacted some sort of distribution system for the deceased.
