[AFTER THE MEETING]

*knock knock knock*

AHOY HOY! Rinnosu-ke! How ya doin'? You gots anything new yet?

[no_freeloaders]

Unfortunately, yes.

[lifesmegassweet]

...ooooooh, that ain't a good response. Whatchya got?

[no_freeloaders]

Kerrigan has spies among us.

[lifesmegassweet]

You gotta be kiddin' me! How's she doin' that?!

[no_freeloaders]

It's hard to say, exactly, but this development makes it most difficult to determine who we can trust.

[lifesmegassweet]

I see.

She gnaws her lip.

So it don't have anything to do with people going crazy or whatnot, does it?

[no_freeloaders]

Not directly, but they may be somehow related.

[lifesmegassweet]

...

Hahahahaha! Of course, of course! Probably just a byproduct of her trying to invade minds, of course! Makes sense! Well, we just gotta keep our heads covered! Hahaha!

Is that a lack of conviction? How odd.

[no_freeloaders]

The most important thing is that you remain alert. Take nothing at face value if you don't have to.

[lifesmegassweet]

Will do! Thanks for the warning, Rinnosu-ke!

Again, the pause. Well, it's Rinnosuke, she can trust him, right?

Hey... can I get something off my chest?

[no_freeloaders]

I'm listening.

[lifesmegassweet]

Um, well, I was with Reisen-ni and Eirin when they were treating Urd, on account of sharing a room with them now. And I was listening in, and Urd was saying she'd been talking to Reisen not long before she went coo coo. And Reisen said it must've been Kerrigan messing with her mind, right?

She pauses. May need some prompting.

[no_freeloaders]

As loathe as I am to implicate a personal friend, Reisen is the more likely perpetrator.

[lifesmegassweet]

W...well, I didn't really wanna come to that conclusion, but I mean, well, if Reisen can mess around with peoples' heads like Eirin said, then why didn't Reisen pick up that Kerrigan was messing with Urd's and do something about it? I was kinda hoping she'd just panicked, but if you're telling me Kerrigan can make spies and all...

[no_freeloaders]

I've spoken with her, and she's agreed to someone keeping an eye on her until we have a way to identify spies.
