Before?

[she’s squinting.]

I think the things we are finding on excursions are all related to a particular oddity that I’m suddenly unsure whether you are aware of.

Let me put it this way. Did you receive any memories from the staff the week before last? Were any of them a bit…unusual?

I only recall arguing somewhat with them when they've been busy insisting I should not spend time on them, although I... also cannot recall why I was set on doing so.

[hm. he looks troubled, but moves on.]

I only saw them from Aquila and Virgo, but -- yes. At least one of them seemed quite strange.

The two pages I have seen are also clearly written by the same people, one of which has somehow familiar writing, but I have only seen the ones from my group and Estelle's.

Mm. I would like to see more of them, but the writing is similar.

[...]

I would also speak to those who did break-ins last week. I believe, for example, in one room they found a staff member had modern makeup, but also a set of far more old-fashioned makeup. It seems odd that such items would belong to the same person. I believe similar findings were made about many of the staff rooms.

Wait-- those who what? I was unaware anyone had gained access to staff rooms at all.

Mm. A few did. Lup, Yuri, and Sheila all did.

...well.

[hm. he's quiet, for a moment.]

No, I had heard nothing of it.

Yes, but. The point is - what I have just told you about it. That there were things discovered such as the two forms of makeup. It would imply something that perhaps you would have already known from the memories you saw?

It might, yes. And it ties in with something I noticed in conjunction with that and one of the notes we've found.

...Mm. I suspect there's something a bit odd with all of the staff. But unfortunately, it is not something I feel comfortable discussing outright.

What about the notes you found?

All of them-? ...then I suspect we are thinking of different things, but if you cannot discuss it, then-- I will see if aught else ends up coming to mind.

I also am not certain if it ought to be discussed outright, however, depending upon what it is that you wish not to discuss, but being uncertain what that is-- it may be completely unrelated.

Mm. Or at least, many of them.

Would you just tell me what the notes you're referring to say?

I showed you the-- word game. The second was this.

[he has made a copy of this in his notebook.]

Same authors as the word game. If anything here stands out as odd to you, then mayhap we are indeed thinking along the same lines.

Um. Hmm. I'm uncertain what you mean. Are you suggesting that some are...more or less stinky than this chart would suggest?

I- do not know whether I should say?

Ugh.

I assure you, I feel the same.

I think you can tell me if you think they aren't as stinky as they would seem here.

Then yes, that is my assumption.

Hmm. Then...perhaps. It wouldn't have struck me with this chart. But something like that, yes.

It is not strictly the chart, but something else in conjunction with it.

I suspect you do know what I'm talking about, but you don't realize how broadly it applies.

I've seen no indication that it does, no.

...If you are certain.

...and I presume you cannot explain why you think this is not the case.

The rooms are a place to start. Most who've told me about what they've found, there are some intriguing details.
