[quite suddenly there is a knock on the Cepheus end of the dorms and a voice calling out lazily and impatiently:]

Oooooi. Won't the good little detective come out to play?

Unfortunately, that's true. It tells us that they have been observing, and understanding what they see, which rules out a few beings I can think of by virtue of arrogance and mindset if nothing else. But those beings wouldn't warn us anyway.

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

Exactly. It narrows down the field. Not by much, but enough to give us a better look at things.

Re: [Canis]

*nods*

The problem really isn't necessarily who is giving us the warnings, but what is to be done about them. We can't keep staying up all night on the roof.

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

. . . why were you--why the roof?

Re: [Canis]

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

Because Mitsuru didn't want to stay in Cetus. And I wasn't given a choice.

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

[. . . this face once that name is said]

Oh really.

Re: [Canis]

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

No, there really were no other options. We might stay elsewhere tonight, but I have no doubt that they will not listen to anything I have to say in the matter.

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

You are so not sleeping outside. Roof or no.

Re: [Canis]

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

Of course not. Why do you think I'm so tired? We didn't sleep at all.

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

Okay, let me rephrase. You are not not-sleeping outside. Roof or no.

Re: [Canis]

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

...I don't get choices in the matter. I was dragged up the stairs to the roof, Kaito.

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

Well, you're not getting dragged up there tonight. Mitsuru can shove it.

Re: [Canis]

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

I don't know where else to go, Kaito. They'll drag me out of Cetus if I go there, and anywhere else will result in punishments.

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

[... this is a look that says you are a dunce]

What, you think I can't take punishments? I get shot at for a living, practically, you know.

Re: [Canis]

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

...no, that wouldn't be particularly practical. The question is, which team drew attention, and how did they do it?

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

Better question: how do we know for certain that our messages are about the same team?

Re: [Canis]

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

And how do we know when we have the right answer?

Re: [Canis]

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

All good questions. I'm assuming that we've successfully narrowed the field, but it's worth keeping our minds open.

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

... mm, seems like. Keeping an ear out for that voice might help. If they've contacted me specifically, there has to be a reason for it.

Re: [Canis]

[smoothdetecting.insanejournal.com]

Either someone wants to work us up, or someone wants to protect us.

Re: [Canis]

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Exactly.

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

Not much else we can do for now.

Oh, and Jace, speaking of that earlier topic: yep, she has him in safe keeping. Apparently they're having drunken tea parties.

Re: [Canis]

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Other than be careful.

...Monoceros must be rubbing off on her.

Re: [Canis]

[amazinghattrick.insanejournal.com]

[will just refrain from making any comment about unfairness]

Mm, had a nice talk with her, sort of. She seems pretty content using their reflections.

Re: [Canis]

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Huh. As a body, you mean?
