[restitui]

... Probably because of what I was doing at the time in our attempt to talk to the ship.

[ Anyway! ]

Well, I think the ones who do it are the ones who definitely enjoy it but... I don't know otherwise? Other than helping progress the journey we're on along, I'd guess.

[shadowgraphics]

You were trying to talk to the ship.

[it's that tone again]

But I guess that's as much an answer as any.

[restitui]

Yeah, the ship is alive and sentient. Just, not sentient the way we expect.

[shadowgraphics]

This ship just gets stranger and stranger.

[restitui]

[ cheekily: ]

You're just now catching on, are you?

Right now, we don't have access to a lot of the ship. The subway's the furthest we can do, but there's more to see. Which is why I think if it's a journey of finding them, it may be there but we have to figure out how to unlock more areas.

[shadowgraphics]

Has anyone been able to unlock other areas like that so far?

[restitui]

Supposedly they couldn't even go down that far before...?

I was told if we wanted to go further, to keep doing what we were doing.

[shadowgraphics]

. . . then we should be doing more of it.

[restitui]

I can tell you right now you'd be too embarrassed to do what I was doing that got that answer.

[shadowgraphics]

What was that?

[restitui]

... collected stuff that represented every family in a magic school and held hands with Gingham while talking about journeys and stuff.

[shadowgraphics]

. . . that doesn't seem too bad. I think I'd survive.

[restitui]

It probably worked because we were extra sappy.

[shadowgraphics]

Gross.

[in a flat, but joking tone]

[restitui]

Very.

[ Cheerfully. ]

I think I almost heard you make a joke.

[shadowgraphics]

You must be hearing things.

[restitui]

Must be... Actually, I should tell you something. It can wait.

[ can it. ]

Anyway. We'd have to drag him along - Gingham, I mean, because I promised not to do something I know might be stupid without him.

[ that's not the exact wording, but it's how he takes it. ]

[shadowgraphics]

[tilts his head]

So he . . . wants to do something potentially stupid with you?

[restitui]

Y..yes?

[ a beat. ]

As in, like we'd rather be there if one of us is doing something that might hurt the other...? Especially after the fire thing and the ocean thing.

[shadowgraphics]

I guess that makes sense.

[he doesn't get it but why would he, with his negative relationship experience]

I wouldn't mind if he wanted to come along, though.

[restitui]

[ he looks a little amused and nods ]

If we ever do something that's stupid, I'll make sure to pass on the invitation.

[ ... ] Speaking of, not like stupid but - sometimes people get lost and wind up in places like the subway as well? Goose did a while back for a few days.


[ brocade throwing him through the floor helped with that, he's not gonna say that part ]

[shadowgraphics]

Ah . . . I knew people get lost, apparently Cashmere was for a couple of days. He didn't mention the subway, though.

[restitui]

Yeah, I've never gotten lost like that, but I know when Goose did he found this.

[ he shifts for his bag and pulls out a bell to offer it to him. ]

If you ring it, the sound like... goes away and you can't ring it again?

[shadowgraphics]

That's . . . strange. He found it in the subway?

[restitui]

Yeah. I'm not sure what he saw down there, but he didnt seem bothered. I asked Wilhelm if it was his and it's not.
