This is Discedo again, isn't it. I recognize the buildings.

Can someone tell me what day it is?

Monday.

[Obviously helpful.]

[geassreceived]

... thank you. That's helpful.

[fierybluebird]

You're welcome.

Anything else I can add?

[geassreceived]

Your name, so I know who to thank? I'm Suzaku. I don't think we've met before.

[fierybluebird]

Marco. No, we haven't. Only arrived in the beginning of December or thereabouts.

Any idea how long you've been gone from here?

[geassreceived]

I see. It's a pleasure to meet you, Marco.

I think... it's been almost nine months. I wasn't always sure of the exact date back then.

[fierybluebird]

Likewise Suzaku.

Huh. Well, welcome back I guess. Do you know if the scientists do this often?

[geassreceived]

Thank you. I don't remember it being so prevalent when I was here. But, I just spoke to... Mr. Japan... who seemed to think it was unusual.

[fierybluebird]

There seem to be a bunch all of a sudden. I guess they just got a craving or...

I have no idea.

[geassreceived]

[ laughs, a little. ]

I'm not sure trying to read their minds is worth it. I just hope it doesn't mean they're planning something that needs a lot of people.

[fierybluebird]

That would be... worrisome, yes.

[geassreceived]

Has anything happened recently?

[fierybluebird]

A lone monster ran amok? Before that there was some arson and fires on the police station, museum and library.
