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

[shuttermouse]

[ 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. ]

...Ah. [Does she...not know what those are. Um.] A machine for flattening and smoothing out roads. In other words, she's forceful.

[...right.]

Many would, in the case of dispatching monsters. That task is often left for those looking for a bit of extra cash, in my world.

Truth, by the way. I'll match you.

[bloodbiter]

[A small, amused smile appears once he explains.]

I see. That's certainly a good analogy.

[And then it's replaced by a more rueful expression.]

If only currency were a way to motivate the people in my home to take up arms. [Anyways—] What is one goal that you hope to accomplish soon after returning home?

[evilfrenzy]

[Oh...? Rideaux wonders if the people in Adelina's world are just not well-equipped enough to deal with monsters. Money should be a great motivator otherwise. Huh.]

My job. I would like to reach the point where I no longer have to be in Dimensional Affairs.

[He knows it's a mysterious topic for most of the people here, so he expects he might have to explain. But for now, he keeps it simple.]

[bloodbiter]

[And, as he expects, she does ask about it after just a moment.]

What is Dimensional Affairs?

[evilfrenzy]

[He's pretty used to needing to explain at this point, so he seems fine with elaborating.]

Anything relating to dimensions. As in, different planes of existence. [Hmm.] Similar to what Tabby explained, if you remember our discussion of alternate realities at one of the meetings.

[bloodbiter]

I do, yes. But... A field such as that sounds absolutely fascinating. May I ask why you wish to leave?

[evilfrenzy]

It's not a career path I envisioned for myself- I happened to be recruited into the department at an opportune time. Unfortunately, it ended up being a bit more than I bargained for when I accepted my recruitment.

[bloodbiter]

In what way? More work than you assumed, or the work itself was more stressful?

[evilfrenzy]

The latter. Working with dimensions is very stressful. [To put it lightly...] That, and I like to think that I have put more than enough of my time and effort into it to justify leaving when the time comes.

[bloodbiter]

If I might ask... How exactly is it stressful? What did your job entail, precisely?

[evilfrenzy]

[...]

Sorry, but I can't talk about it.

[Then again, the secret that will be revealed in a few days' time will explain some of it.]

[bloodbiter]

Of course. Well, regardless... I hope that you are able to move from your current position quickly once you return home.

And - truth, once more.
