[ frowns ]

We don't know for certain yet... But. Yeah. I'd hoped it wouldn't happen.

[third_alternative]

Fat load of good that did.

[ EXASPERATED GROAN, hands almost tugging on his hair in frustration ]

How the heck are we supposed to keep people from getting hurt when we have no idea what to look out for?!

We just have to keep looking. I know that's not what you want to hear, but... We don't have much else to go off of.

[third_alternative]

Looking for what though?! It's like--people keep vanishing and turning up hurt, or dead! How the heck are we supposed to stop that?

If I had those answers, it'd make this whole thing a lot easier. We're discovering things bit by bit, but you're right to be angry.

[third_alternative]

Like what?! What have we discovered so far?

There are windows between the worlds that someone left open and the spectres came through as some kind of punishment. At least, that's what one of the notes said.

[third_alternative]

[ well. THAT shocks him out of his angry stupor. ]

Notes? What notes?

[ and i meant note singular, big rip ]

Four of us had been taken to a strange place yesterday. Afterward, we received a single note.

[third_alternative]

I didn't know you guys got a note.

What did it say?

Basically what I said. That someone opened up windows to a bunch of different worlds and left them open. The spectres came as punishment for their hubris.

[third_alternative]

Huh. And nothing on who did it? That's really it? [ god, that is SO MUCH and also SO LITTLE at the same time!!!

after another moment, though, rex's frustration turns wry. ]

...Pfft, hubris, huh? Whoever wrote that is such a nerd.

[sponsoredby]

By the writing, I'd say something along those lines.

[ well, he wouldn't have said nerd, but close enough ]

Yeah, that's it for now. But it's a start.

[third_alternative]

A start for what, though? It's great info for like, knowing how we keep ending up in random places, not so much for keeping people from getting killed.

[sponsoredby]

Maybe not, but if we find out more information, we might be able to figure out what these windows are and maybe that's a part of the key?

[third_alternative]

You think this window stuff is connected to the murders?

[sponsoredby]

It's honestly hard to say. It could be? Or it could be a whole different problem.

[third_alternative]

[ GROAN ] Great. We're so clueless, we don't even know how much our clue is even a clue.

[sponsoredby]

Maybe, but it's more hope than we had before, right?

[third_alternative]

I guess. It's a start, but not exactly a great one.

Sometimes you just have to hold on that and let it grow.

[ kotetsu PLEASE he can't handle this level of EARNESTNESS ]

Yeah, yeah. You're a real glass half full guy, aren't you?

[ IMPOSSIBLE, this is the jackass that [redacted] ]

Someone has to be, right?

[third_alternative]

I guess, but like...not usually this much.

Things have been rough, right? That's when you have to keep it up.
