[he nods! he's changed into his normal outfit, too, and he currently has a tiny dragon held in his arms.]

Yeah! It's pretty cool how they're all so different, right?

[but also, when he sees the bee stings:]

—What happened to you?

[battling]

Bees. The statues in the courtyard were moving threateningly and bees showed up, stung us, and disappeared.

[agleam]

Jeez! How many were there...?

[also:]

Who's us? Did it happen to a lot of other people?

[battling]

D'ya think I counted the bees stinging me? At least two swarms of them.

Dunno. Haven't heard anybody else having problems in the courtyard. I was with the artist when it happened.

[agleam]

I mean, I wasn't asking for an exact number. But - two swarms is a lot. Are you feeling okay?

[he thinks that over for a moment.]

I feel like there are probably at least several artists here.

[battling]

The worst of the pain is over. It'll just take a while before the swelling goes down.

Blondie from the prism. Talks in way too much slang.

[agleam]

Oh - Kazunari.

[he frowns.]

I haven't seen any bees in there whenever I've gone in... I hope it won't happen again.

[battling]

If ya see the statues moving closer to ya? Get outta there.

[agleam]

Wait, the statues were moving? Was that all that happened, the bees and the statues acting weird?

[battling]

We heard buzzing, the statues were in weird places, every time we looked away they got closer. Got stung by a swarm. When they touched me, I heard people screaming.

[agleam]

...People screaming? Did you recognize the voices?

[battling]

Yeah.

It's weird. A lot of 'em died a long time ago.

[agleam]

That's... horrible. Is that the kind of thing this place thinks is entertainment?!

[battling]

Considerin' they brought us all here from murder? Yeah. Sure think so.

[agleam]

[with a frown:]

Did you hear about what happened to Shinobu and Estelle in the elevator?

[battling]

No. What happened there?

[agleam]

Shinobu said they got in, the lights flickered, and they saw some kind of apparitions in the lobby... Then when they got out, they felt weirdly numb and had trouble moving around or holding onto things. Like, they couldn't feel their arms or legs.

[battling]

How long did that last?

That's not any better than startin' to forget people ya care about. Looks like this place is startin' to scare us early.

[agleam]

Um... A little less than an hour between when I started talking to them, I think. I'm not exactly sure when it started, though, so it's hard to say how long it lasted overall.

[he frowns.]

I don't know about that. I mean, I'm sure it's starting to try and scare us, but - I'd definitely rather lose feeling in my limbs rather than forget about someone important.

[battling]

Hm. The screamin' lasted for around an hour too.

If you can't feel your limbs, you can't fight back when somebody's tryin' to kill you. Hearin' people screamin' is just unsettlin'.

[agleam]

Yeah, but it didn't happen on Thursday.

[...]

At least, I don't think it did. Actually, is there a calendar or anything anywhere you've seen? What day even is it?

[battling]

Not a single one.

If it's the same as at school? We're probably on... Sunday?

[agleam]

So we've got, like... Four days? Probably.

[battling]

Wednesday had random shit to do, so we can base it off that too.

[agleam]

Oh, no. Do you think the debates are going to come back...?
