Who: Anyone
When: Day 61, Early afternoon
Where: Anywhere!
What: Mingle and stuff

[So it is still raining for sure, and if anyone BOTHERS TO CHECK, they will notice that the water level of Level 2 has risen considerably...

But if you aren't bothering with that shit, levels 3 and 4 are pretty much per usual.

However, if you are one of the people working on Level 5, or maybe just enjoying a walk in the rain and mud, or maybe you just heard there was something weird found upstairs...

What you will arrive at is a very strange grove. A circle of 8 large trees that look very much like dead, twisted, dry wood. Quite an odd sight in a forest usually full of too much life. Stranger still, nothing but a bit of moss and vines are growing in the circle of the grove. The dead trees stretch high into the air, and sometimes they are hard to spot, but a few odd looking, but colorful wind chimes hang from the dry branches here, and over there, some ripe looking, swollen red fruit about the size and shape of a mango.]

((OOC: General mingle, but there will be a thread for exploring the grove!))

... if we do that, there wouldn't be a point to what I said near the end of it.

What you said...?

I wouldn't want to embarrass you by saying it again.

[

Oh, well. I guess if you'd rather keep talking about your mind than tell me such a thing, we can do that.

I don't remember anything about it.

I do.

Why are you being so cagey about this?

We've been over this.

I'm cagey about everything.

You're cagey about yourself. This isn't about you, though.

[agitatedddd but trying to. not be.]

At the end of it, I found myself at a train station.

... And?

And I spoke to the girl there, and she heard me.

[NOT SURE IF WANT TO KNOW

but curiosity wins out

refilling her own glass and downing it]

And what is it that you said to her?

What do you think I would say?

... I told her that she shouldn't sit on the edge of a platform where a train would come at any moment.

Can we please skip the part where I have to pry the whole story out of you bit by bit? This is already awkward enough.

If you want me to talk, we'll have to do it my way.

I'm not as talkative as you are.

[looking to his glass as he speaks]

[hold on let me get my expression under control so I look less like I am robotface contemplating murder

okay back to smiling and shrugging]

As you say. What else did you discuss.

She asked me what she was for.

Of course, I told her no one could be certain. But there was more to see than just that train station and people who would not hear her.

... really... those sorts of questions... people live because they know they will die, it's easy to die. That is what I told her when she asked.

[... LAUGHING]

What an answer.

And when she said she didn't have a reason to go anywhere, I told her she could think of one as she went.

She told me I would regret inviting a youkai to come along. I told her that it wouldn't be the first mistake I've made.

Having made mistakes before is no reason to continue them. Or did you disbelieve me?

... either way.

[finishing off that glass]

[for some reason she finds this hilarious

refilling both glasses, then drinking deeply from her own]

"Either way" what?

I had no reason not to.

And it got her to move out of the way of the train.

So you did doubt the truth of it? Or does regretting a thing not trouble you anymore?

... I doubted it.
