Who: ANTS ... and Blanks I guess.
Where: The commons area to the west of Pyxis
When: Day 144, Late
What: :D

[It's pretty far from civilization, but a double column of giant cave ants marching in WILL attract attention.

The first of the colony seem to establish perimeters, cutting or biting lines in the ground.. Others come after, dragging blocks and wood...

There is some large scale construction going ... and happening fast.]

HA HA! Easy on the west wall there! Solid! No holes!

And Flowers was a moth.

Trickster was a terapede. And Kurogane-san mentioned once that he saw Mirror in their dorm as a fish.

And Beast was a lizard, if I recall correctly. I've never seen him, in or out of a game, but my team told me about him when I woke up.

I haven't seen them either. But in any case, there is a precedent.

Mm. I suppose so.

But if the ants are a construct, what happens to their bodies in the meantime?

--Sorry? Whose bodies?

The blanks that they... are. Used to be.

Claude was inside, wasn't he? Do you think he actually was the ant, or that it was made around him?

Ah...

I meant that maybe not all ants had once been a person. I don't know how it works.

I suppose it's possible.

[ssssssubject change]

How are you doing?

[Worst subject change ever. This is not a happy face. \o/]

...we're doing okay.

[better than "gee I wonder what's happening to your dad's body in that freaky ant shape there" :|b]

[also: jiiiiiiii]

How's Cepheus?

[ignores :|a]

If you tell me what you need, it would be better. Otherwise it's just my best guess. Food?

...no.

Our food problem is temporarily... not as urgent.

Then what?

...

...Chaz won't wake up.

...Do you know why? Is he sick?

He... had a bad memory.

He was holding together for a few days, and then suddenly this.

...I see.

...

I'll ask Watanuki to try and see if he can reach him through his dreams. How long has he been asleep? What are you doing for food?

We found him yesterday afternoon, but I've been out of the dorm so much that it might have been earlier than that.

We've managed to get him to take liquids and food ground up so small it practically is liquid, but considering his metabolism, I don't know how much it's helping.

It's better than nothing. Does anything else seem wrong? Or you think it's definitely the memory...?

Unless it's something to do with the judges, but usually they take people completely.

It shouldn't be, if he was still in the dorm. If it goes on for too long, we may need to speak with a Judge though...

...mm. If it comes to that, I'll do what needs doing.
