How we can get Riku back. [ fuck what happened, a little, she doesn't think this place is good at answers anyway ] If he really might have been sent inside the arcade, then... we just need to find a way to get him out.
Right. I don't know if we really are meant to be solving what happened with how many people have died so far. We should focus on getting them back and getting out of here. Maybe a little of how we got here, too, to make sure it doesn't happen again.
[which is in line with "what's wrong with this place?" because he would love to know.]
[Sometimes you're from a canon where dead people stay dead 9.999 times out of 10--but they're grieving, and it's been a long day, and they don't need him shoving reality in their face. Things have been cruel enough already, the least he can do is let them believe in this. So he just nods.]
Alright. Then--I'll see if it can help with escaping this place?
[And he'll leave Riku and the mysterious history of this place to them? This will all be pointless if the cash register doesn't work like this but hey, that's why they're testing it out.]
[ riku's heart is still around they just need to drag it back. they have all died in some ways so often. kairi's nodding, looking pensive ]
That should work. They're just tests, anyway. And depending on what the tasks are, we might not be able to do them either. I'll ask Nott about today, and maybe we should try to find out who else has done it? We could ... ask people one on one?
[ she knows how terrible socializing is for him so she smiles a little ]
Thanks, Leo. I don't think everyone would answer, especially if they were asked bad things and might have done them already... or if they just don't want to share their rewards. So we might have to keep it to just asking people we know would be okay with us asking.
I think Artemy will help us. Maybe I can ask Ann, too, if I see her. She seems like she wants to help. But Kairi's right. I think some of the receipts might even be telling people they can't share things, so we just have to know how to ask right and hope they can tell us.
It's fine. [At least it's for an intended purpose, not just, like. Awkward small talk. And he's not detached enough to hide in his book stacks at this point anyway. As long as he doesn't have to talk to Kama he'll be fine.
No comment on Hyuse because he doesn't know him, but he does nod--] That's what I was told, too. Though it was only until I completed the task and received the reward for it.
[He could've explained the glasses after he got them, he just didn't. It's a fair point to keep in mind though.]
Yeah, mine said not to tell anyone too. [ she tilts her head in thought ] Hyuse seemed to want to answer you today, Sora, so it might be worth a shot. The worst he can say is no, right?
Yeah. [he's been thinking about that, too.] Riku told him about that room we broke into, so I kind of want to ask him a little more to see what else he might know. I'll see what he says.
[he looks at leo curiously then.]
How long do those glasses work? Is it like...as many uses as you want? Or do they stop working after today?
There's no reason for it to stop. Especially if there are outside factors involved. [The haunted cash register did not watch that trial and go "wow they're so competent I'd better shape up and stop possessing people!"]
And I have a feeling we have at least one undiscovered killer among us. [Nott and Jester are fine. He doesn't count them.]
[Ask them, murder them, it's all good. Dream big, kids!
But it seems like they have... as much of a plan as they could possibly cobble together at this point? So he gets to his feet.]
I want to look around one more time. [It won't do any good, and he kind of knows that, but... he'll be dissatisfied if he doesn't at least try.] Will you be here later?

Right. That works, I think. I can ask Jester and maybe Kama. There aren't too many of us left, so it shouldn't be too bad...

The receipt only specified victims and evidence. I doubt they'll work on anything else, but I don't mind trying.
