[it's a tuesday... nahida is out on the playground this morning, swinging gently back and forth on the swingset. she has a thoughtful expression on her face, but when she notices valerie's arrival, she smiles and waves to her from the swing.]
Good morning, Valerie!
Good morning, Valerie!
[ she was just planning on walking on by but oop, suddenly she is being greeted! ]
Uh...hey. [ she waves back, a little awkward ] You're just...swinging? First thing in the morning?

I find the repetitive motion of it relaxing - it helps me to think.
[she smiles.]
Did you sleep okay last night?
[she smiles.]
Did you sleep okay last night?
Oh, you know...as well as any of us can, what with sleeping on a park bench and all.
[ she mutters that last bit, almost begrudgingly ]

[ oh, she heard that bit. awkward. Valerie tries to wave it off. ] It's fine, I'm working on it. Besides, it's not like I'd sleep well anywhere around here.
[ blease, can we have rooms yet (not until tomorrow) ]

It can be hard to really... settle well enough for a truly good night's sleep, but I do hope you're able to at least get a little rest, all the same.

It's not any worse than at home, at least. In terms of how much sleep I get. This whole "not having a bed" thing still sucks.
...yes... I hope they'll start selling more beds soon. It seems a little unfair that most people can't have one.
Someone suggested just stealing some of those shark toys they've got to make a mattress out of, so...that's something, at least.
Oh, but what about what it said in the rulebook... "steal at your own risk"?
...just be careful if that's what you end up doing.
[here they are on the streets.......... nahida is wandering around looking for clues but she was not in an investigation group so she is not finding shit.
when she spots valerie, she waves, but looks very sad. i'm sorry. i proposed this pc but all i have to get started is "she's here and sad".]

[ well...Valerie is also kinda sad, and confused, but she doesn't really know how to handle someone else who feels the same way! ]
Uhh...hey, Nahida.
Uhh...hey, Nahida.
Hello...
[...]
...were you able to sleep at your warehouse last night? Or did you get stuck somewhere else?

I was in my warehouse, but I was also definitely stuck in it.
...you got stuck somewhere too?
...you got stuck somewhere too?
Yes... Hikari was late coming back to our warehouse, so I asked him where he was. He was at the McDonald's with Rin. Shu and Kaveh came with me to go get him... I thought we could walk Rin back to his warehouse and then all go back together once we'd dropped him off so no one got caught alone.
Instead, we all got locked in at the McDonald's.

W-wait, so--Hikari was with you last night?
...and I'm guessing he wasn't when you woke up.
Do you have any idea what happened?

[she shakes her head]
I don't. We tried to get out that night, but... nothing worked. We couldn't even smash the windows. So then we tried barricading the door, but...

Weird...so a lot of us got locked in all at the same time...maybe even all of us.
I'm starting to think whatever happened was planned.

...yes, I think so, too.

Erasing other Players on a Thursday night is a part of the Reaper's Game, allowed for in the rulebook. If it was one Player, picking another as their target... it makes some sense that we wouldn't be allowed to interfere, and that there would be something in place to prevent us from doing so.

...you think the game itself decided to lock us all in the second someone decided to murder?
