Ludger turns to look at Cantarella, tilting his head so his right eye can get a clear look at her. he looks fine? maybe a bit sunburned still, but it's healing pretty quickly. ]
Yeah, I'm hoping I'll be able to make out what the plaque says this time. Other than that... I don't know. I might check out the reptile house?
[Nozomi can't see... But they can make one verbally.]
To dilute it as simply as possible, the predominant theory is that the energy needed to maintain this cycle is unbalanced. Victor has hypothesized that the Wish Giver has been granting said wishes at a deficit with nothing in repayment until the debt has created, essentially, a vacuum. The iridescent nothingness is connected both to wishing and the lost—as well as the "taken."
The museum, well, central field, and chapel all share traces of this substance, though all but the first have been well picked over so far. Can you think of anywhere else?
[Cantarella exercises all her willpower to not sprinkle Nozomi with cautions about the reptile house. They've already been there, and the girl knows plenty about the animals it houses.]
I will, though it sounds like they've cast their net for much larger fish this time. I believe Wazy will be facing the intimidating monolith of the greenhouse soon, yes?
[She glances in his direction for confirmation. Cantarella's notebook pales in comparison to the beauty of Ludger's, but she still has one, at least half-full by now, with no small number of neat notes.]
Then there is the matter of communication with the lingering spirits...That seems to be something Nala holds most dear.
Haha, that we do. I'll let everyone know how it turns out, although I'm sure you'll see some of the results for yourselves.
[kind of hard to be subtle about bombing the shit out of something, after all!!]
I was also going to try sending a few messages down the well to see how much we can get out of our restless friends. If it's suitable for basic messages, we can save Nala's item for later.
We may very well hear them before you can even think of filing your report.
[She has set a precedent for explosions and how far the sound can carry here, after all.]
The well is fixed; the typewriter is transient. We may end up needing it when we're adrift. It's a clever use of our resources, Wazy. [Genuinely...she won't even caution him against having too much contact with the water this time.]
As for places the depths of which have already been plumbed...there may still be a few that are hiding a secret or two. I should have some time, should you have any suggestions.
It's always an honor to receive a compliment from you, madame.
[This is also one week in particular where things like restraint mean very little, so it likely would have been a wasted effort even if she had been concerned about the ramifications of using the well recklessly.]
I've been wondering, but have we already combed through the rest of the unoccupied rooms in the boarding house? I was thinking we might find more of those specters, but I'm not sure if they would have much information to offer.
[Cantarella frowns, bringing a hand to her chin. From what she's seen on the signup sheets, at least, people have been avoiding the most familiar buildings for a while—with the notable exception of the library.]
I think stories from the first venture might have scared people off.
I asked Y'shtola if she thought there was anything different about the boarding house, but she couldn't see anything. The current theory is that, uh. Our encounter in 305 was a matter of pure luck.
[ so not Impossible to get more info out of there, but who knows if/when it'll actually work. ]

[ there are so many nerds living in there, it's probably silly to check Again ]
Maybe the clothing store? I still haven't seen that backroom area where Thancred said our stuff is.

[Someone seems to have made a routine of it, though it's been a while since Cantarella has checked the sheet or received any updates.]
I think the clothing store has sat abandoned ever since Amaya...
[So something may have changed there.]

There wasn’t much talk about them after that first meeting, although some information about them may have travelled through the grapevine.
[although not this part of the grapevine, apparently?]
no subject
If it's a matter of luck of finding information in the boarding house, I'm not sure if we can replicate it on purpose.
no subject
[Although it seems like are some other suggestions going around, so yay?]
