[The word "contract" pulls a small sigh from Childe's lips, letting his weapons join together into a polearm that he can stab into the ground beside him. Specifically so that he can fold his arms. He's well versed by now in such exchanges, and if whoever it is she'd entered into an agreement with is as final and rigid in such contractional dealings as Zhongli... Well.

If that's the case, they might be already done for.]


Quite a thing to gamble on. Not that I can particularly fault you for taking the risk, but it's a rather bold move. Who holds the other end of your contract? Perhaps the negotiations of a new one are on the table?

[Noah sweating because he healing-potion'ed the guy who did this like... last month, oops. He's always had the sense that Komaeda is not a good egg but his sense of wanting to connect with others is too great. It'll kill him one day.

The good news is everything is Komaeda's fault. The bad news is Noah would still die for him. Or is that the opposite? Maybe it's all bad news. Noah guiltily runs a hand through the back of his hair.]


There are loopholes with contracts. [Noah is a lawyer obviously.] They're kind of like magic circles, right? If you have two magic circles and they're bound together, if you get rid of one of them, the other one might still work. But if you get rid of both of them, then they wouldn't work at all. [No, Noah, that's absolutely not how that works. What makes you think that's how that works. (NPClamor cameo, anyone with supernatural sight gets to hear him probably going NO NOAH THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS AT ALL) (Noah is convinced though).]

...um. [Anyway, more to his point.] If we kill the other contract-holder, the contract is null and void because there's no one to uphold the other end of it. Right?

[No one judge him for this he's trying.]

[ Such chilling words... Alice doesn't recognize the murdered girl beyond today's ghostly glimpses of her, and he knows next to nothing about these contracts — only that they appeal to different people for different reasons — so he stays quiet now, listening. Questions about the shadow students won't change their shared fate; he doesn't ask them. Finding a way to nullify this particular contract altogether, on the other hand, seems to be the right path to take... ]

[Dropping victims into the void.

He’s quiet for a moment, but the comment eventually pulls a soft chuckle and a “Fair enough” out of him. He lets her finish speaking before he comments again, however, tapping the toes of his shoe onto the ground and mulling her words over as his eyes drift towards the wisteria outside.]


And if we were to find a way to… Level the playing ground, so to speak. Would that send us all home?

[Noah doesn't look at Childe judgmentally but he's thinking about it.

"Level the playing ground" how? Noah's only thought is that they have to find a way to break the other end of the contract, and he's stuck on "someone or something within this place has it" or other various thoughts. Physical, tangible things, nothing nebulous.]


I don't get it. How are we supposed to do that? [He looks up at Childe for an answer, but if Aiko wants to answer, he'll take that too.]

[It’s not the first time he’s genuinely considered such sentiments. Ironically enough, it was Komaeda who first pushed the idea that maybe the true way out of Yogen would be to burn it all down, the students included. Part of him blanches at the very notion, at the idea of putting all these kids to death on such flimsy ideals.

They weren’t exactly running on guarantees here, after all.

On the off chance that was the way to go, well… It would be a mercy, wouldn’t it?

This little exchange was certainly leaving him with a lot to think about. The first order of business was still to get Noah and Nene and Alice back to safety, but after? After… After he wanted to see if there was a way to draw up his own contract with this omnipotent and omnipresent being that seemed to preside over all of them with such a note of finality.

For now, he reaches over to pick up the offered mirror shard, glancing down into the reflection at her words to see if he can see anything in this particular shard.]


We’ll find you. I can promise you that much. Beyond that, well… I can’t make any guarantees that we’re going to succeed, but that’s the fun part of life. The struggle, the uphill battle. Wouldn’t you agree?

[ It's disconcerting, the way this girl looks at each of them, uttering those deliberate remarks... Somehow, she knows so much — and she isn't wrong. If no one acts, nothing changes, but what Komaeda said could well be just as true: sometimes progress will upset people. Ending the dream, all of it... That's a frightening thought when they can't say with certainty that they will wake up, or how and where, knowing that they have nothing to return to in the world of the living. And that's only the students who haven't died again here to land in this void realm! Or that wisteria tree?

Letting his gaze drop to the newest mirror shard, Alice nods after a moment. Yes, mirrors are useful... Yes, they'll complete their search. ]


Well then, let us seek the truth...

( nene's been. listening. quiet and simmering in a sea of... something.

she always was one to get hung up on the dead. comes with the territory of having your first love be a ghost.

despite having no real relationship with izumi, she still sees him as a brother- still mourns and aches. despite a lot of things, every loss echoes within. and the girl who didn't want to go yet-

only a year left to live.

let me live ninety more years...


- ... is it any wonder she resonated so strongly with that? things left to do. not being ready yet... life and death are so cruel.

and she's such a stubborn, greedy thing when it comes to grief, she's learned- she can't let go easily at all. it's why every loss burdens her shoulders even more. why she hasn't let go, even now. after a whole year. nene pauses. ...

when she speaks, her voice is soft, like a cracked whisper. )


I'm sorry it took us so long to start finding you.

[His eyes are immediately torn away from the mirror shard as he hears Nene speak up, unable to quell the sudden wave of affection that follows along in the wake of his surprise. On the curtails of that, however, is also guilt; even in a mercy kill he’d have a difficult time dispatching his closest companions in order to carry out the task as presented. Offing Noah during the trip to the amusement park had been difficult enough as it was.

He waits until the specter has vanished, stepping forward to draw closer to the desk and pausing briefly to reach down and give Nene’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. Then he’s setting the mirror shard down onto the wood once more, motioning for the others to draw closer.]


C’mon. Bring the other pieces forward, let’s see if they fit.

[Noah who still isn't entirely sure he gets all of this suddenly wakes up from his fugue state of ??? and steps forward to set his shard on the table. It should be pretty easy to put these together, he thinks, so he silently starts trying to connect edges together.]

( nene wants to think that had things gone differently, she and aiko would be friends. but there's little point in thinking about that right now- and she always hangs onto regrets too hard. staring at her hands for a moment, nene inhales. aiko is gone, they have a task presented to them that... sounds perhaps far too much, and the mirror is whole.

if she points the mirror at something, will it reveal anything on that something itself? or does the shine get any brighter? )

[ Nene Yashiro — that was her own voice, Alice realizes. Barely audible, her hushed apology must have taken some effort, for their fading conversation partner's sake. Watching Childe and Nene in the instant before it's time to complete the mirror puzzle, his expression softens. It's like seeing siblings interact, witnessing their close bond, and something in his chest feels hollow, making way for an ache.

But there's an unusual mirror to inspect further, and a lot to ponder. Alice steps closer, too, expectantly. ]

( if she tilts it either way does it have a strong reaction? if not... )

... Downstairs... it's the floor she... um.
silentabyss: (004)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2022-06-28 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
The floor she... oh.

[He's assuming the floor that Aiko died on or something. Could be wrong, but either way, looks like they're going downstairs.]

C'mon, then. Let's go.

[Forward march! Off they go.]
shimashima: (49)

[personal profile] shimashima 2022-06-29 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
The first floor, right?

[ That was the only other elevator button that they could use, after all, and now this mirror appears to be guiding them to a lower floor than the current one as well. Forward march indeed — hopefully to arrive where they need to be in search of the truth. ]
