[There's no text reply, but it doesn't take long for Childe to arrive. He's mostly cleared of flower petals by now, though a couple still cling to him.]
Took them long enough.
[A week probably isn't that long, really, but considering he's been waiting for the other shoe to drop since they all got here, it's almost a relief for things to get moving.]
[ he holds his hand up for a moment, letting the room lapse into silence. and, sure enough, focusing in, he can hear the faint vrrrrr of machinery.
(the irony that gu yun can hear evidence that only two other people can hear? NOT lost on me.) ]
I can. There's a machine running in there. Misa called it a treadmill. [ pulling back, he rubs his ear, near the red mark on the lobe. ] I'd think I was losing my mind, but there were three of us there, and all three of us could hear it.
[ his body's fine rn! get back to him in two weeks ]
Mm. It's not the only place, too - apparently there's broken glass near the bar, but I couldn't see any of it.
[ gu yun folds his arms, tapping his finger against his forearm. ]
... The avatars are busy with it. That's why they aren't answering. I don't know much, but we'll have a better idea of what happened tomorrow, I think - whatever illusions that are hiding certain information from us will likely be gone.
There's blood in the elevator as well, so I was told. I went back to look for myself later, and couldn't see anything.
[And it's not like cloaking is unique technology, but this is a level of it that he's unused to. Generally the invisible is still tangible, in his world.]
Do you think they forced it?
[The avatars. Did they set the ball rolling, or do they just have enough bloodthirsty companions?]
...I don't know. [ and he doesn't like that feeling, either. ] Envy said in the message - 'not really who they expected to go first'. Does that mean the person who died... or, likely, the person who killed them?
[ bad. ] I think my original theory may have been correct. [ about what pride said, anyway; that there were likely a limited number of desires that could be granted. he's thought this place was completely suspicious since day one. ]
And... I wonder if tomorrow, we'll be expected to root out who did it.

It's like the simulation room, then. [With their flower petals.]
