[here they are at the barrier, in the subway tunnels! nahida is here already, eyeing it up. she has one hand on it, and is pressing forward as if to test how solid whatever is blocking them is.
it is solid enough.]
I see...
it is solid enough.]
I see...
[ this is such a small child but not the weirdest thing today. with yiguo in his zipped up jacket, peering out with big eyes at things, wenzhou watches nahida for a moment before he frowns and
pats at his own height where she's pressing. ]
... seriously?

They don't want us to go any further than this...
[she sounds less than pleased about that. let them out!!]

Blue-haired girl said the train loops around back to the original stop without opening. Go figure that the tunnels are just as shut off.
[ he unzips his jacket enough to retrieve yiguo from it, setting the calico down next to nahida before he puts both hands on the invisible surface to push with all his strength. process of confirmation and all that. ]

Without opening...?
[huh. she looks a little puzzled by that, but - ooh! cat! while he's pressing on the barrier, she crouches down and offers yiguo a hand. hello.]

Yeah. The stops wouldn't open like the train's supposed to do. Just the one we came from - damn.
[ yiguo gives a sneef to the hand offered to him while wenzhou tries out pushing a shoulder into the empty air, before sitting next to nahida and leaning against her for pets. yes. good. ]

That's strange... Hikari and I were able to get off the train, we just couldn't go up the stairs at the station.
[
yiguo is getting many pets.]
But in either case it's odd. You would think we'd be able to see more of the city.

Maybe that's what she meant. I haven't tried it out yet, myself. Figured I'd check the tunnels first.
[ yiguo purrs. so loudly. like, knox loudly.
he gives up on pushing with a grunt and a huff, putting his hands on his hips. ]
Might be barred from it? It's a hostage situation and a game at the same time, basically, so there's probably - what, conditions?

[WHAT A GOOD CAT. it's hard to feel upset when you have a good cat purring near you, but the situation is unsettling enough that nahida isn't totally at ease even as she continues to pet him.]
...mm, it could be. We already know that "housing" is something we have to meet the condition of "form a team" to get. That's probably only the first of many.

[ with his tiny cat brain, he has yet to realize that anything is amiss besides the fact he's no longer home. that's not unusual. so yiguo's just going to bask in pets. ]
Don't expect all of us came with people that we know, and that'd be too easy. [ wenzhou's brow pinches ] We'll be making friends as we run around their rat maze.

...
[they will be, won't they? there's no way they can all be on the same team - it's limited to four. but nahida can already tell it's going to be difficult not to think fondly of many of the people here. that makes the "only the team with the most points gets revived" part of the rules especially cruel...]
Yes, I imagine so. Mm... if we can't get through the barrier, maybe we should get out of the tunnels before a train comes.

[ it's a new day, but it sure is a day where someone might face erasure, and wenzhou isn't the sort of person to optimistically go "oh, maybe it won't happen!" so he's patrolling around japanifornia at the moment.
seeing nahida, he raises his phone in a mock salute. ] Hey again, little miss.

[she smiles and waves back to him when he "salutes" her.]
Hello again, Officer.
Hello again, Officer.
Yes. Something might happen tonight, so... I thought I should visit as many places as possible beforehand so I could more easily remember what they were like "before". It will make comparisons more easy for the "after".
...although, it would be better if nothing happened.

...if someone is considering Erasure for the points, it would be wiser of them to wait a little longer until we see how many points doing missions earns, so they could assess the risk.
[but.
is someone who's going to do a murder in week 0 really the type to go for risk assessment?]

[is luo wenzhou having a smoke break after all of that
can nahida have a cigarette too (no)]

[she ndos to him in greeting. aww, look at yiguo...]
Hello, Luo Wenzhou. [a beat] ...are you and Fei Du doing alright?
[they sure had... some reactions... at the execution]

I'm sorry to hear that...
[it would be painful enough to hear that someone you were becoming friends with had killed a teenager. even more painful still to have some of their last words strike home a little too much...]
...I'm alright.

[they encounter each other at the pet shop! nahida tilts her head slightly to the side when she spots luo wenzhou with the things he's collecting.]
Are those for Yiguo?
Are those for Yiguo?
[ wenzhou freezes, a blip of surprise and ope, before he carefully places the can of wet food into the stack of ones he was in the middle of grabbing. ]
Yeah, he needs to get back on an actual diet before he gains more weight, if it's possible, here in the UG. [ his emotions level back out to something amicable, welcoming, easygoing. ] In to check out the new friends here?

Hehe, yes. I thought it might be fun to see what they had.
[hmm.]
Do you think Yiguo might get along with them? Maybe you could bring him for a visit.
