I'm not trying that again. I don't know what that was, or if it could get worse.
( despite everything, she does have a sense of self-preservation, at least. and today she is listening to it very well, now that that little trip is over. after a moment, however, mafuyu slumps forward against kanade. not enough to put force upon her, but... )
( during the tour she'd wandered off- and been scolded for it by ena, of course. but this is... different. the horror is real.
there's a heaviness in her stomach that feels familiar, like when her mother is in her room but stronger. mafuyu isn't... entirely keen on dissecting what that means, however. )
If we explore... I have a notebook to record things. The rest of my school bag is gone, though.
[ It's definitely different. And the fact that they're so out of their depth here.
Not to mention that they're human. Nothing special. It really emphasizes just how out of depth she is in this place and just how weak she is. She wants to be able to do something for Mafuyu, but she knows.
She knows, ultimately, that the only skill she has might become useless in a place like this...
That thought terrifies her, right down to her core. ]
...I have my phone. Although without the charger, it might not be good to use it too much.
I have a power bank. It can help keep things going a little bit longer.
( it's just a matter of keeping it charged too. something to keep an eye out for. maybe in the help center...? she'll have to check later. )
... What should we do now?
( because her only idea was a bad one, honestly. and none of the rides look even fun let alone safe. even if she was interested in this sort of thing...
[ She nods in response, a little thoughtfully. But then the question is raised and Kanade is honestly not sure how to answer. Even though she's the leader of their group, that doesn't mean that she's actually good at doing any proper leading.
So instead, Kanade takes out a map in hopes it'd give any sort of answer. Or at the very least, an idea. ]
Let's see. We're here-- [ Kanade points it out. ] Ah. There seems to be a First Aid Station. Or maybe Guest Services...?
... First aid station. It's best to know what we have to work with, if it becomes necessary.
( and if nothing else, maybe there's patient cots to take a rest on. everything feels awful and heavy and she's not having this 'being awake' nonsense anymore. and frankly, kanade is terribly frail and even if it's just a sunset, being outside for so long won't help her much either.
[ Honestly, Kanade is just glad that she hasn't done any walking yet. And the weather hasn't been beating down on her, either. But she doesn't know if or when that will change.
But she's right: the first aid station is important. And it might become necessary to use sooner rather than later. ]
( it's not a terribly long walk, at least, given that the first aid station is just by the gates. but in her current state, every step feels like a struggle. it's entirely possible that she's just gonna take a nap here.
the station itself is... huh. she'd more expect a regular school nurse's office or something, not... this. )
[ The fact that the walk isn't long is a relief on Kanade's part, especially as someone who has no clear athletic talent. Of course, given what had just happened to Mafuyu, she keeps an eye on the other girl, making sure that she doesn't overdo it.
And given the way she acts normally...
That's definitely a concern to her.
But they do eventually reach the station, and -
Hm.
She feels herself freezing up, tensing slightly even if her expression barely even shifts. This doesn't feel like what she was expecting from a first aid station. Then again, she isn't sure what she was expecting, from a place this strange. It wasn't this, though. ]
Ah, let me see...
[ Kanade opts to walk ahead to check the cabinet out-- ]
There seems to be medicine. But... [ She taps her knuckles against the glass. ] ...there's this.
I'm not sure if medicine will really help whatever it was that happened.
( but her attention is instead drawn to the metal drawers. it's not wandering off if they're in the same room, right? because mafuyu is pulling one out. and... uh.
huh.
that sure is a body storing drawer, okay. )
... This is...
( she's pretty sure this isn't normal. very positive of it, even! phoenix wonderland would never.
her chest hurts as she looks at the drawers longer, up until she finally slams it shut again. )
( listen. she's pretty sure that was some demon shit? because that sort of thing is super not normal. doctors don't help with demon shit, you need a priest.
but mafuyu's more focused on the implications of a storage for bodies. given the poor condition the rest of the center is in as well... )
Right.
( but will that be so easy in a place like this? what should they even expect? )
...I don't know if we really want to find out what that something is.
[ If this really is meant to be a place for dead bodies, then the implications of what they might find here are probably not the kind type at all.
She expects body parts, not something that can help them.
And while it's chilling to the bone, that doesn't deter Kanade as she takes a few steps and looks through the cubbies.
... ]
Claw marks...?
[ And gross, that smell. Kanade finds herself scrunching her nose at it, sensitive to things like the actual stench of blood, even if it's dried out. ]
( carefully, mafuyu picks up a piece and turns it over in her fingers. what on earth? ... her first thought drifts to the marionettes- the park attendants with the venitian masks. it's the same color, though none of the pieces fit together... )
These look like the masks those things are wearing.
( there's so many implications here that make that pit in her stomach feel even heavier. )
[ So that's fun news. Kanade stares at it for a while before Mafuyu mentions masks and those things.
Ah, right, the park attendants. ]
... Hm. Do you think it's common?
[ The implication behind the word 'common' when it comes to this place is kind of sickening, enough to make her stomach turn. She's not going to feel like eating much tonight, she's sure. ]

Mafuyu's feelings matter.
And that's why her grip on Mafuyu's hands tighten ever so slightly. ]
Next time, don't go alone, Mafuyu.
[ It makes her heart feel something--a twist in her chest that hasn't entirely settled-- something that she can't entirely explain in words. ]
If anything worse happened, I...
[ She doesn't know what'd she do. ]
