[ well! sometime after execution, caleb will find leo at the bonfire! he's fiddling with something idly, occasionally firing off a text because he's still a teenager. he'll give a little wave when he spots caleb, though! ]
I got nothing from the expulsion that you wouldn't already know.
It didn't look like they were moving completely on their own, right? Like they kept up the fight against their will. It would make sense if there was a controller somewhere, though how it works, I couldn't tell you. Not without getting a closer look.
Right. So if that's legit, then we'd want to find the controller, so obviously it's going to be somewhere we can't get to yet. Maybe one of the construction zones, or... the student conduct office? That's where they said the expelled students go, right?
[ he visibly flinches and turns back to whatever's in his hands, just a handful of small things to keep them busy. ]
Yeah, there are things like that in my world, too. But it's the whole setup that makes it like a game. The whole thing was ripped right from one of the most popular fighting games out there - it's called Super Smash. Those platforms were exactly like one of the stages, too.
No, that would be too easy. If it's anything like home, we'll get the runaround. Maybe have to solve a few puzzles, fight a few monsters, and barely escape with our lives before we can come up with anything useful.
Well - yeah, but it'd be nice to know that someone out there isn't in life-threatening situations all the time. Besides, there's no reason for something like this to happen again.
[ why would murder happen twice in a murdergame wow ]
[ he's just going to tick these off on his fingers: ]
Goddesses with grudges, trying to help my friends, monsters that want to eat me, stupid life choices, prophecies, existing... Take your pick, we've got options.
Yeah, I'd hope at least one of those would count for all of us. I'm not ready to have an existential crisis cherry on top of the miserable cake just yet.
...You know, I really feel like there should be someone out there who's from a regular, totally normal life, but all of us being isekaied kind of negates that, doesn't it.
Yeah, well, hopefully you won't need it more than this one time. Isekais usually mean trouble for the main character, and I'm guessing that's all of us right now.
[ well, that sucked! and leo is useless for medical stuff lmao so he just bails almost immediately. he's just hanging out at the edge of the woods, restlessly fiddling with some stuff - looks like a couple of nuts and bolts for now. caleb just gets a quick glance when leo hears him. ]
Guess someone didn't agree with you about keeping us younger from getting involved, huh?
