[7] now where have you been hiding [accidental video post]

[menaremyslaves]

[Oh look, the video has switched on. How strange.

The room looks pretty empty - Flora's not in, and Akako's side of the room has grown a bit dusty in her absence. The closet door starts to shake, and flies open. Akako, still wearing her Halloween costume, falls out of the closet

You're back!

[menaremyslaves]

I am.

...was I really gone an entire month?

[aceupthesleeve]

For the entire month of November.

[menaremyslaves]

I see.

Did I miss anything interesting?

[aceupthesleeve]

There was a virus that made everyone tell the truth.

[menaremyslaves]

That can't have been pleasant for you.

[aceupthesleeve]

It wasn't that bad.

[menaremyslaves]

No? Hakuba-kun didn't...

[aceupthesleeve]

Didn't what?

[menaremyslaves]

Attempt to confirm his suspicions about you?

[aceupthesleeve]

He tried. There was nothing to confirm.

[menaremyslaves]

Of course there wasn't. [locked] A poorly phrased question on his part, or a clever answer on yours? [/locked]

[aceupthesleeve]

Exactly~

[Locked]

Who knows?

I take it you're enjoying the freedom to speak true or false, now that the virus has ended.

But, speaking seriously, that could have ended poorly. I would suggest you be more careful around Hakuba. He can be more clever than you credit him.

Hakuba's smart, but he's not smarter than me.

He's tricked you before. Nearly caught you before.

It stands to reason he could do it again.
