[He nods along with this, already making mental notes to update his own later.]

There were four of them all together: one with a picture of a ghost, two with the same picture of a dog, and one that had a space-picture. All four of them had some crossing out on them, but they were all pretty much like the 'letters from the dead' kinda thing in other games, if you had those in yours. That's where the flowers were from- I guess it's how they sent secret messages so they wouldn't get crossed out?

And yeah, I've got thoughts about why but if you're saying it's best not to say it out loud I'll trust you. If we can talk about it later though I'll explain better. I didn't get to see their memories though, Aquila saw one of mine and teased me for it but I didn't see theirs.

[The joys of Maple spending the first four weeks of game battling pneumonia means that he didn't get as close to the NPCs as needed for memshares :( whoops]

I have one of the papers from my group's notes so you can look at the handwriting, it looked the same on all three so I think they're all written by the same person. Futaba and Shinobu have the other two pieces, but I can grab mine if you wanna see the handwriting. You grab yours, I grab mine, we meet back up?

Okay, I'll just say what I was thinking then.

[Leaving out some of the context he got from other people feels like it's only giving half of a story, but he'll try his best.]

I'm thinking all the shadows- the ones that possess people here to force them to kill, the ones we see after every execution, and the ones we see whenever the staff move somewhere- come from the same place. They don't do the exact same thing in all cases, but it's how everyone is being monitored. That's why we gotta be careful around the staff: not because they're causing trouble, but because someone is watching them at all times. Because of that, if we're gonna find a way to get everyone out, we're gonna have to do it out of eyesight of the staff.

I'm also wondering if we all get possessed by one sometimes and we don't even realize it. Like, you know how we get forced to places sometimes? Maybe the contracts we all signed are being enforced by these shadows or something.

Oh.

[Darn.]

I'll have to look through stuff and try again then, I think.

They found personal stuff in the rooms, stuff that probably belongs to the staff. I'm not sure how much I should say on exactly what was found in each one, but I'm pretty sure that the one Kim Dokja found is Virgo's room.

Right, okay.

Virgo had a jerky press in his room. Which, you know, kinda immediately gave it away. Apparently it was really dusty too. That's the room where the postcards were.

The other room- Orion's, I think- was a huge throne room. There was this big jade vase in the middle with...er, Hua Cheng said it was like vinegar, for pickling? Anyway, there were statues of mythological beasts, and some books too. And then there was a big shovel and a daruma that gave off "cursed energy" as it wiggled. Oh, and there was a bedroll behind the throne that was pretty simple and clashed with the room.

Oh man, poor guy. Or girl, or whoever.

[HE FEELS SAD FOR LEPUS NOW]

So that's five rooms...three more to track down.

Oh yeah, they didn't tell me about the room they found, I'll have to ask one of them again.

[Wheeze I forgot about this thread in the middle of everything last night.

But yeah Rin will bring his one paper so Harrow can see the handwriting too.
