MEETING: TUESDAY, WEEK 4

[violentenvies]

[Hello and welcome to the cafeteria. Salieri has set up one of the tables with some sandwiches and water, as well as papers and pencils. Once everyone is settled, Salieri stands. He’s conferred with the SQUIP on the purpose of this meeting, and so clears his throat. It’s a much smaller crowd, but perhaps, with the right amount of push, they can still make a difference.]

Good afternoon. Thank you all for coming. I have discussed today’s topics with the SQUIP, and have organized them by topic, so that we may be sure to address all areas.

Is that...someone we should perhaps try to contact?

[sir please he is just trying to Solve a Mystery]

[tellthestory]

Uh...honestly, I don't know what she'd do about this. She's just a high schooler who now has a really weird job.

[violentenvies]

Well...if she works there, and was there when Hester was there, is it possible that she knows what might've happened to Hester between getting off at the Denny's and getting here? Or at least might be able to tell us what the Wizard and Hester were doing there?

[tellthestory]

Well...I guess she could. Never mentioned anything like that to me...but there's no real reason she would've.

[Not if it just looked like two random people eating at Denny's.]

Too bad I don't have my phone. That might've worked from here.

[violentenvies]

I imagine that someone doing actual magic might've been something of note? Though I can't rightfully say what might travel through a dimensional waystation, as you've said.

[he glances sidelong at Discord--thoughts?

Then, to the Balladeer:]

Is there any other way of contacting her?

[disharmonizes]

Oh, don't look at me, it's a big multiverse out there. In my own personal dimension I wouldn't blink at anything.

But that place, who knows?

[violentenvies]

[he'll just nod, to that]

All things considered, across worlds with infinite possibilities, it might not be so strange, depending on what she's observed there before.

[tellthestory]

You get a lot of weird stuff happening there. She didn't text me when all the escapees from the Wizard's last show showed up, and one of them looked just like the SQUIP if it could stretch its limbs like a cartoon character.

[So, like, reasonably weird shit.]

Honestly...if we can't even contact the other side of this place, I don't see us getting a message out that far.

[voicerights]

I may be able to assist with a message.

[tellthestory]

How's that?

[voicerights]

SQUIPs can sync up with one another.

The alpha test of my theory involves you and the Leading Player re-enabling that in my form, and attempting to boost it across to my other selves.

[A sideways glance at LP]

You asked what impact 'certain recreational abilities' had upon SQUIPs. Marijuana lowers our ports and firewalls. I would attempt to connect with everything and anything I could within range.

[violentenvies]

And we have access to such a substance, do we not?

[tellthestory]

[oh god we sure do]

[wanderlusttitania]

...I'll admit I am not an expert on these things, hardly, but...if this Denny's is what one might call a liminal place, and we ourselves are dead, thus...liminal beings of a sort, I wonder that it may be possible. Especially given that the Wizard seems to be focused on preventing us from contacting the school's living. However, 'Plan B' showed that he is not wholly capable of preventing all contact that comes from us, so long as we're not contacting the school directly.

It's worth trying, at least, so long as SQUIP is not put in any danger.

[violentenvies]

I agree. Outside contact, especially by someone who might've seen this particular pair come through, would be a benefit.

[voicerights]

Particularly if my other selves can share their own experiences. If one can then reach to your contact, then we have a further source of information.

[violentenvies]

And information is the commodity we need right now.

[She holds up an ordinary-looking cookie.]

Hope you're ready to be hungry.
