[Anybody who wanders into the lobby today is in for a treat! There's a brand new statue off to one side; it looks like a masterpiece, a real work of art. The proportions, the details... from clothes to facial expression, it's all perfectly rendered, almost lifelike.

But what does it depict? Why, Aoko, of course. The statue is set in a crouching,

[CAMP-FLAVORED KAITO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS

But he's pretty sure 'UNSURE and slightly panicked very concerned' covers it pretty well. Reaching out to, idk, put his hand on the statue's shoulder or something in an attempt to discern whether it's... actually Aoko or just a really, really freaky piece of art]

[jackoclubs]

Don't apologize. I highly doubt that was your fault.

You gonna be okay?

[fishpanties]

Mm, I'm fine, it was just…

[Oh. Oh no. Jerks back away from him, giving him a quick, horrified once over] Are you okay? Let me see your hands!

[jackoclubs]

[blinking as she pulls away, holding up his hands where she can see, palms forward]

Why wouldn't I be okay? I wasn't the one turned into stone.

[fishpanties]

Because it can spread!

[Peerin very, very closely at his hands, biting her lip.]

[jackoclubs]

[urk-- pulling one hand back to study it, but it's all pink and warm skin. no stone here]

What was that?

[fishpanties]

Part of a game, I think.

[Cautiously wipes at her eyes, clearing away the dampness.]

[jackoclubs]

[hesitates]

What kind of game?

[fishpanties]

Bad dreams. Arson-kun was on the ground, and when I went to help him... [shrugs, helplessly]

[... And then she pauses, looking around.]

[not wearing orangeeee]

[fishpanties]

…

[O-Oh she recognizes this place. Kind of. Vaguely. But it's fuzzy and faint recognition, and she has other priorities.]

Kaito, what happened to your uniform?

[jackoclubs]

[he tenses internally when she asks that. the red + the mention of a game had already clued him, but that pretty much confirms things. DAMN IT JINX I THOUGHT YOU SAID SHE WASN'T THERE 8(]

I don't wear a uniform, Aoko.

[fishpanties]

You do! Did you take it off? I didn't know we could get clothes that weren't in our colors.

[jackoclubs]

[eyebrow quirk]

Look around you, Aoko. Where do you think you are?

[fishpanties]

It's probably something a Judge set up.

[jackoclubs]

[... fffft]

That's exactly what Jinx said when he showed up in Camp that one time.
