Gross, the moon’s a creep.

[ helpful. ]

So, what? We just need to stop talking about anything potentially important at nighttime? [ said like she’s an avid intellectual conversationalist here. ]

I guess? I don't get how it works. It's not like there's no moon during the day, you just can't see it.

Yeah, but there’s bound to be points where it’s “weaker”, especially around midday.

[ ……. ]

But you’re right, it’s not like we know anything about how it works. Just rumours.

We don't know how anything works here. We're just guessing.

It’s really getting on my nerves. I’m used to being able to look up solid data, not just relying on hearsay. And vibes.

Hey, you're forgetting the random pieces of paper.

Right, the vague and ominous pieces of paper. How could I?

[ weh ]

I’m used to having the electronic equivalent of the Library of Alexandria to rifle through at well. This is a downgrade.

So it's a big library?

Yes, it’s a very big library.

[ he got it... he figured out the reference ]

The only books we have here aren't exactly helpful for research either.

[ proud of him. ]

No history of the city, or that was what Nico told me. I wonder if that just means there isn’t one. Or if there is, they don’t want us knowing about it.

Right. With everything we've found out, I'm not convinced the city has a history.

Like it just popped up for the purpose of this competition, whatever that’s mean to be for.

And however it's actually won. We keep rising in ranks, somehow?

[ me: i wanna be in last place :( for funny :( ]

[ don't worry i haven't submitted jackshit this week AND i forgot to curse anyone. sad. ]

Yeah, I don't know how. I saved a cat a couple of weeks ago-- [ and didn't submit that ] but other than that...?
