[ Today, a text message comes from someone with the username of K in the later hours of the evening -- partially due to the fact that Kanade herself is a bit... nocturnal, to say the least. ]
This is pretty different from the texting services I'm used to, but it's kind of a relief that we get anything to begin with... even if the device is a bit concerning.
I just found out that the ferris wheel cabin I was assigned to is a bit messy, so I was wondering if anybody wanted to help me clean it.
[ "A bit" is an understatement, but she isn't going to admit that.
She also isn't going to admit that seeing what was in there almost gave her a panic attack, either. It's fine. ]

un: Yuki
I'll be there shortly.
( even if getting in and out of the cabins can be so difficult sometimes- )
no subject
[ She appreciates it at least. She's so bad at cleaning, after all... ]
no subject
( the real struggle is getting into the cabin- they stop during the day, so unless you're lucky and your cabin is at the very bottom, you're out of luck. but it's only the third, and kanade is in the first cabin- close to the ground. it just takes a bit of work. don't ask me how she does it please.
hey. hi. she's here, looking around. ... what got mud in here...? )
... Did you find something strange, too?
no subject
[ There's no beating around the bush when it comes to that. She's just going to outright say it. Mafuyu's going to eventually find it, anyway. ]
It's... [ She hesitates, her voice smaller than it already was. ] ...over there.
[ She brings a hand up to point in the general direction of where she found the IV drip. ]
no subject
...
picking it up carefully, she observes it like it's going to move or something for a moment. )
I found six paper dolls. When unfolded, they read "dance on your strings for us". This place... it wants to hurt us, Kanade.
( but that didn't mean it was ineffective. )
no subject
[ The words catch in her throat, tight. The fact that both of the things that they dealt with felt really personal is honestly kind of terrifying.
Kanade herself finds herself kind of stilled in the moment, unable to move. Like she's a statue. It's only when she speaks up that it breaks the stillness. ]
We can't let it do that.
[ She promised she would save Mafuyu, after all. Even if Kanade only has one skill, she truly believes that she can help her with her music. If this place decides to hurt Mafuyu, then... all their hard work will fall apart.
And that terrifies her. ]
no subject
but that's not going to help, right? ena would scold her for saying this sort of thing. )
... I know. And we'll do our best.
( mafuyu looks back down at the bag. )
I've been trying to write down things about this place. I'll keep track of this so you don't have to.
no subject
[ Her answer is immediate, and it's filled with something determined. ]
I'll help. So... you don't have to do this alone.
no subject
( she'd pass the dolls onto someone else if it didn't mean having to explain why. ... she doesn't once think to hand them over to kanade. what she does press into kanade's hands is instead her little pink deer power bank- it works as a hand warmer as well.
something to provide some sort of comfort while mafuyu begins cleaning things up. )
no subject
[ She just isn't that kind of person. And more importantly, if it's something that can help Mafuyu, then... she feels obligated to it. ]
no subject
( but somehow this taunt feels so much worse than hers. like something kanade shouldn't have been exposed to, but the damage is too late. )
... Why the mud, though...
( yes. that is the real mystery here, good job mafuyu. )
no subject
[ It's... honest, to say the least? ]
Maybe whatever was in here tracked it inside.
no subject
( ... it's strange, referring to it as 'hers'. but what else is she supposed to call it?
she doesn't want to make a life here, that much she knows. and yet...
whatever. she's going to start cleaning now. )
no subject
[ Which.
Begs the question as to "why". ]
no subject
( both upsetting, but in different ways. hers still pristine with a cruel little message hidden in paper dolls tucked all over, kanade's messy and harmful...
ah. )
Maybe... it reflects our living spaces normally.
no subject
no subject
( ... yeah, no, she's got nothing else. but a possible connection is better than absolutely nothing, right? )
no subject
[ Might as well, after all. ]
no subject
( when will they have a family meeting... i say, planning one actively. )
no subject
no subject
...
whatever. just keep going. )
Is it bad that I'm relieved that the others aren't here?
no subject
[ Kanade shakes her head, her voice still low and quiet as ever. ]
It's... better, I think. That they're not here.
