everybody, put your hands up; yes, flying – imagine it like that!

[ You know what this murderschool needs? Party games. She talked about it with Tarrlok during the afterparty and today's the day she's going to host a game of truth or dare. After that unpleasant little motive, she's sure a lot of people are going to appreciate a distraction. She's a little too old for this, but watching each other perform stupid dares should be entertaining.

So during the day, she writes a bunch of notes and slides them under everyone's doors. One also goes up on the fridge. ]

Are you looking for a distraction after yesterday's incentive? Are you just bored?
Come to the dining hall at 6 pm today!
There will be food and we'll be playing truth or dare!
- Chie Hori

[ As promised, there's food! The main attraction here is the build-your-own-parfait bar, but there's a nice assortment of other things too - yakitori made by Kyrie, Fern's mac and cheese, Sayaka's curry, plus a tea/coffee bar courtesy of Weiss. There's also a few bottles of booze Chie grabbed from the bar. Drink responsibly, please.

Have fun playing truth or dare, everyone! Remember, you can refuse a truth or a dare if you want to, but then you'll have to drink one of the shots of hot sauce Chie has prepared. Unless you're being asked to reveal what's in your envelope, then you can refuse without punishment. ]

[Sayaka takes a bow at that.]

Honestly, it was probably a little worse when I was younger...I had a little bit of training beforehand, but even I was surprised by how much they enjoyed it!

[bloodbiter]

Did you perform the same sorts of songs when you were younger, or has it changed somewhat as time has passed?

[A brief pause.]

If you do not mind me asking another question, that is.

[destage]

Oh no, it's fine! I've basically been performing the same kinds of songs since I got into the business, though. It's our niche, and we're good at it.

[songs about love and teenage girl problems, all that jazz]

[bloodbiter]

What are the other members of your group like?

[destage]

Well-- [we gonna be slidin' into headcanon territory like WOAH]

Hanekama-san is the kindest of us by a mile...not to mention the one with the best makeup tips. She's probably the one I'm closest to, out of the group, and she's just so nice to talk to. Aoba-san's probably one of our most energetic members, and she's extremely good at getting people to smile. She's super fun to be around as well! Saigusa-san's like a big sister to us, ready with advice and a calm demeanor at any point of the day. And Izumi-san's just plain adorable! There's no situation she can't brighten up just by giving people the determination to do anything!

[The descriptions and the enthusiasm in her voice brings a smile to Adelina's face, and she nods along as Sayaka talks about all of them.]

I'm glad to hear you have such wonderful friends. How long have you all known each other?

[destage]

Since we formed our group, so about...four years! We didn't know each other beforehand, but after a while it just feels like we've all been sisters...it's wonderful.

[bloodbiter]

Do you travel often, or do you typically perform in the same place?

[The curiosity is clear in her expression; this is a kind of lifestyle she's never heard anything about before.]

[destage]

Well, we travel all around Japan, usually. We've got abroad...I don't know, maybe once or twice? For very, very special shows. We're used to traveling around the country a lot, though.

[It's just a weekly part of life, for her.]

Do you travel much, Adelina-san?

[bloodbiter]

Do you enjoy it? What is the best place you've visited?

[She shakes her head.]

No. I had never gone more than a mile or two from the castle until very recently, but I had the opportunity to see much more of the country in the weeks prior to coming to this place.

[destage]

Probably Osaka! It's really pretty, especially at night...with all of the buildings around there, it feels like the kind of place where you can see the whole city if you're high enough.

[Sayaka tilts her head, though.]

That's a shame, but...did you have fun, at least? Was it for fun--going to somewhere else?

[bloodbiter]

It sounds wonderful. I wish I could see it someday.

[She shakes her head.]

It was not traveling for any sort of enjoyment or entertainment. I was searching for a cure for an illness that someone close to me is afflicted with.

[destage]

What...?

[Oh noooo.]

Adelina-san...have you had any progress on it, at least? I can't imagine how harrowing that must be...

[bloodbiter]

[She nods.]

I remembered finding the cure I sought. Now I just need to bring her to it, but... We were close to it indeed. Since we keep receiving what I hope are memories, I must wonder if I have already saved her and just have not recalled yet.

[destage]

...I genuinely hope that's the case. This girl, whomever she is...I hope you're able to enjoy the newfound time you gain with her.

[Sayaka's expression is softer when she says that, but she does genuinely hope for the best.]

[bloodbiter]

She is my sister.

[So, that's a thing.]

...I cannot imagine life without her. I pray that I'm able to ensure her safety.
