[Rise may not be afraid of the dark but there was still something that unsettled her. She looked out her window watching the fog rise up as far as the eye could see. Letting out a sigh, she looks into the Dreamberry.]This place is staring to remind me too much of stuff back home. And no, it's not necessarily a good thing

It's unsettling, isn't it? The fall of the castle, the sudden flood of darkness we've found ourselves drowning in, the ghostly woman... It's extremely unsettling, there's an extremely eerie calm that I can't place my finger on.

That's what we get as residents of Somarium, though. We're thrust into situation after situation, at the hands of the Overlord, whether we like it or not. There's no telling what will happen next. I suppose all we can do is sit and wait.

[notjust_risette]

That doesn't make me feel the least bit better, you know.

[zerointegrity]

My apologies, Rise. I am extremely sorry I wasn't paying more attention to your feelings. What has gotten you so upset, if you don't mind my asking?

[The expression on his face very concerned and extremely convincing]

You mentioned something about your own home?

[notjust_risette]

[She's a little surprised to hear her name coming from someone she hadn't met before. However, she recalls that the Dreamberry had caller ID before she comments on it.]

Well... yeah. Something like this sorta happened back there.

[vetoingthatidea]

[Suddenly remembers an old conversation he had with Yosuke a few months back.]

... This wouldn't happen to be related to the murders Hanamura-san told me about, would it?

[notjust_risette]

[Well, that's the first time she's heard anyone else who wasn't from Inaba talk about it.]

Wait a second... you know about them, Kyon-san?

[vetoingthatidea]

Not in detail. Just that every time there's a foggy night in Inaba, somebody gets killed.

'Like the girl in Hanamura-san's dream.'

[notjust_risette]

That's pretty much the gist of it, really...

[atoli_in_sky]

That's a good question .. *Atoli doesn't have a good expression either.*

At times like these, we really have to be careful.

[notjust_risette]

We do. There's no telling what's in store for us next.

Are you okay, Atoli-chan?

[atoli_in_sky]

I ... I'm just bit nervous for some reason. You are too, right Rise?

[notjust_risette]

Well, I don't blame you for being nervous at all. Yeah, I'm doing fine right now.

[carpo_vita]

...It's the fog, isn't it? [He recalls it from the time that Souji was here.]

Are you holding up alright, Rise-san?

[notjust_risette]

Yeah, it is. I didn't think I'd be so worried about something like this again.

I'm doing all right. How about you, Minato-kun?

[carpo_vita]

Me too, actually. ...We faced trials during every full moon, back on Tatsumi Port Islands, which is the same time when Somarium experiences major changes too. It's a crescent now, but it's growing. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but it's hard to not think that things may get worse.

I'm fine as well. [...] It's likely for the best, that a friend from home who recently arrived here has returned.

[notjust_risette]

Full moon? Wow, being here must really hit close to home then, huh? I hope it doesn't get any worse though.

With everything that's happening right now, it might actually be better that way...

[justwantsafety]

...you holding up okay, Rise?

[notjust_risette]

Mhmm, I'm doing okay so far, Harley.

*isn't late.* >_>

[justwantsafety]

...would it help you feel better if I made breakfast for dinner or something?

[notjust_risette]

No, it's okay. Abel-san said we'll have to ration the food for the next few days so it's probably better not to cook the extra food if we can help it.
