Well he didn't exactly verbally introduce himself to me, so INoJFDFDEG

[ AUTHENTIC KEYSMASH. Since doing The Face is her only chance of stopping this terrible and unprecedented betrayal, she swaps to video too. THIS IS FAR MORE DISTRESSING THAN THE DYING THING OKAY ]

--I said please! And I'm texting Rhys and some of the others and none of them have said anything about me dying because I did something moronic, so it's safe to say it was an accident or something and definitely not worth punishing me over. Particularly via cupcake. We can talk this through like adults! Reasonable adults!

[ LOOK AT THE FACE, LOOK AT IT ]

[ HAHA oh. oh no she's making the face ]

Or maybe they're too nice to say that. Dying is moronic to begin with. [ IT'S NOT LIKE HE HAS DIED, TOO. ] What exactly did you do?

Iunno, Rhys is lying about it. One second.

[ Excuse her while she messages Watson some more. Or to use his full title: Watson, MASTER TATTLETALE.

She's not doing The Face any more by the time she's done, at least. She's gone full blank, instead. Y-yay. ]

...Ooookay, I. Got cabin fever. Kinda went nutso enough that I attacked Rhys, so. So definitely not my fault. I guess.

[ EAT HER CUPCAKE SHE TRIED TO KILL RHYS SO SHE DOESN'T DESERVE IT ANY MOOOOOORE ]

[ well that's an interesting change. ]

[ conterproductively, it stops Squalo from eating any more of "her" cupcakes. she totally deserves it now, who's a good murderchild? ]

Heeey. Aren't you supposed to be the smart one? Why'd you stay in one place that long?

[ DEATH BY BLANKET FORT ]

Don't rub it in.

[ Because he's right and she should have been smarter and fought against it more and hrghrgrhrh she wishes she remembered the details so she could at least self-flagellate properly, geez ]

Nobody else got it. It sounds like it's because I slept exclusively in one room? Rhys made a blanket fort, and it - you know, it was less bunkery in there.

[ stupid stupid stupid ]

[ Okay, so, he was going to flagellate her for staying in a bunker that long but if it was the least bunker-y part of the bunker, it kind of destroys his point. Dang. ]

You know what's even less bunkery? Everything outside of the bunker.

[ which is... part of the problem... alas he doesn't know about it yet ]

I know that! But you can't honestly expect me to kick back and let everyone else do all the work. It isn't pleasant or safe for anyone in that place, what with the mould and the bugs!

Plus I wouldn't trust anyone else in this freaking heckhole with any computery things that might get found in there. Well - except Rhys, but he's kinda. Incapacitated. And will be for a while, I guess.

[ She's still not in possession of all the deets but apparently she effed him up REAL GOOD, ]

Well now that's no longer an option, sounds like. There's nothing wrong with kicking back every now and then, though. Especially when everyone else hasn't spent most their lives in a bunker.

[ He still has feelings about that and he probably always will. Forceful confinement and all that. ]

Assault aside, how're you dealing?

[ since dying is a bitch either way ]

Don't fuss, geez! I'll be careful next time. Extra careful.

[ Whenever next time is. Seeing as she's on babysitting duty for a little while first. HOW AWFUL. ]

And - y'know, I'm fine. It's nice to be out again! And not remembering anything about what happened firsthand is kinda helpful. Being alone frea-- fucking blows, but it's cool. Um, are you three still alright?

[ Yes, three, Bester counts because he is PRECIOUS ]

You'd better, or I'll feed every last cupcake I find to Bester.

[ ....aaaand the cat's name is out. You're welcome. ]

Fine. Alone? Where'd you end up?

His name is Bester?

[ Look she's not going to come out and say she's judging, but she totally is. Why not Rumplestripeskin or Fuzzy Floofbutt or Baby Kitty Cuddlebug or WHY IS IT BESTER.

Quick PSA: never let Angel name anything. Ever. ]

And I'm not too far from the bunker, actually. Same zone, just at the opposite end. The creepy cult funeral home?

Yes. Before you start, I didn't name him.

[ BECAUSE HE'S BEST-ER THAN THE BEST OF THEM IS WHY. Don't let Xanxus name anything either. Or Squalo too tbh because he just names everything some version of "Squalo", see Sharky the pet fish and Alo the pet magic shark. ]

Oh yeah. Remember that place. [ gross, but not exactly on the way so there's no reason for him to offer to pick her up. ] I was thinking we'd head for the bunker too. Do you need any more people there? Or would it be better if we cover something else?

[ you're like, the puzzle and bunker authority in this situation so ]

Geez, what do you take me for? I wasn't going to say anything!

[ OUT LOUD, ]

And, um, let's see. I can't think of anywhere else that needs covering right now, and the bunker isn't done with yet. It is dangerous, though. But I suppose having more people there would lessen that? Because then people can take shifts and don't have to breathe in so much mould?

I know more people in itself is usually dangerous, but... thinking about it, we didn't encounter one anomaly while we were there. And there was a lot of people at one point - me, both Rhyses, Beckett, Brian, Enoch, John and Sherlock, Stephen, a bunch of others... I guess that might mean the aspect of the bunker that blocks the network signal also serves to block the signals that make anomalies find us? Or maybe we've just been extraordinarily lucky? But I know at least a third of us have our beacons on too, so...

[ ENGAGE RAMBLE MODE ]

[ HE CAN READ YOUR MIIIIIND but really it's a common enough reaction. ]

Sounds like it's packed already, then. [ He makes a slight face -- he'd hoped getting there would make him feel like he's finally doing something useful again, but it really sounds like the mass of people have it covered. ] What about the room under the coffin? Maybe something in the bunker can open it up.

[ DISTRACT HER FROM DEATH WITH PUZZLES? CHECK. ]

Oh, most of them left already. I think Zell's group is the only one there at the moment? Plus Brian. Everyone else left or died, I mean - you've seen the obituaries lately, right? Bunker.

[ Not all that covered, then. Unless being covered in mould counts. HEYOOO. ]

And that does sound possible. I mean, the bunker has several doors that we haven't managed to open, so it seems feasible that one of them could lead there. Kind of as an emergency exit kinda thing?

It wasn't that long. Plus I kinda stopped reading after your name.

[ that's a lie, he saw Junpei and Magenta in there and smirked to himself for like half an hour because that serves them right tbh. ]

Not impossible, I guess. I meant more like a control center kinda thing, though. It could be an all separate place down there.

[ the place where they'd been brought for weird white room experiemnts, for example. but still. ]

You've mentioned the others left. Left where?

[ Maybe it's just a cabin fever break, but it kind of sounded like something else was going on. ]

[Reflexively:] Aww. Wait - I mean - I'm not awwing at that, that's really dumb. Keeping up with the obituaries is important! What if someone else you gave an eff about was on there? And it can alert you to patterns! Patterns like wow a lot of people are dying in the bunker.

[ GEEZ!! This is serious business and absolutely not a cover for her being weirdly touched over that heinous lie. ]

And Iunno. Apparently some left to get supplies? And - and Beckett, Enoch and Watson have taken Rhys out of there to recover. They didn't want mould getting in his wound.

[ which kinda indicates that she didn't just whap him over the head with a stick and call it a day, huh ]

Then I'd notice. Peripheral vision and shit.

[ WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT PEOPLE DYING IN THE BUNKER? NOTHING? THAT'S WHAT HE THOUGHT. ]

Fair enough. [ it really does. how interesting. guess murderapple doesnt get far from the murdertree? just tastes better. ] We'll head that way then. Meeting up with anyone?

[ no "i don't deserve company" there miss ]

Weeeelllllll...

[ The question of whether she's meeting anyone is a tricky one to answer. Partly because she doesn't know yet and partly because she's pretty sure Junpei wouldn't appreciate her mentioning it. Even though there's no reason to be alarmed. Because Junpei can't be dumb enough to antagonise Squalo again. Right? ]

...I'm not going back to the others just yet. I said I'd hang near here for a day or two to wait for Quark to revive. So he isn't on his own when he does, you know? And I can keep an eye on him until he gets picked up by his usual group.

So I'm babysitting for a while. But - but since you're heading this way, we can maybe cross paths when you're in the area? I still want the freaking cupcake even if it's bitten in half, okay.

[ WELL THAT IS CERTAINLY AN INTERESTING DELAY. Don't you trust him, Angel. After all that intense mental almost-boinking they've been through. For shame. ]

Best don't take too long, then. I've got two hungry mouths to keep off of this cupcake and one of them has fangs bigger than my thumb.

[ He knows what Quark's "usual group" likely is by now, but as long as Junpei's honoring his end of the bargain, he won't come after them. Probably. ]

Alright, so can you give me a quick rundown? What're we looking for and what's been tried already? Would be nice if we can do something actually useful while there and you seem like the best person to ask.

[ SO MUCH RESPECT FOR U ANGE ]

[ HEY WOW THERE'S BEEN NO MENTAL BOINKING, ALMOST OR OTHERWISE ]

[ Well okay maybe a little ]

Hey, I have complete faith in your cupcake-protecting capabilities. Assuming you're as much of a badass as you claim, anyway.

[ Teehee~ ]

But okay, um... There are several locked doors in there. There's gotta be something important through at least one of them! Power's out in some places, but I think Zell is trying to take care of that so it might be fixed by the time you get there. The, uh - the bugs are still around, and apparently are kinda impeding investigation a little? The ants bite, but the bigger ones just run away so you can safely ignore those. Eesh, what do they call them...? Long. Wiggly. A jillion legs. Centipedes? Anyway, killing off the ants may assist in being able to sift through things more thoroughly.

[ a teensy weensy bit ]

Hey, I don't do empty words.

[ Like, you know, when he said he would fucking murder Junpei and then he did. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ]

So physically searching the place, for the most part. Should I keep an eye for anything in particular? Any ideas on door unlocking so far?

I'm just teasing! Um... Let me think...

[ This would be a lot easier with all her memories. Probably. She thinks. ]

Obviously I'd be looking for any computers or tech in general? Um... we floated the idea of there being weapons in there, too, since it' presumably a military bunker. That'd be useful. The spiders don't seem to have ransacked the place, so. There could be all kinds of illicit things hidden away.

...If you find a nuke button, don't press it.

[ So that's basically... anything. ]

Are we assuming the bunker-weapons would affect the anomalies? Otherwise I really don't see how they'd be useful. Fuck, I can't believe I just said that.

[ HE LOVES WEAPONS it just hasn't exactly helped him here. ]

Ooooh, can't promise that. Sounds awfully tempting.

[ Except he won't, because Xanxus is here. :( ]

Iunno. But weapons are always useful for something! Maybe they'll have something corrosive or even slag-imbued so we can weaken doors and just brute force our way through them? Um, again assuming that they exist.

[ And also assuming that weapons here work like the ones from her world. Angel. Angel bb no. ]

And just remember that if we all get nuked, I will die and you'll have flouted your own durr durr no dying, Angel rules and will therefore have owned yourself. Bad.

	Salve, dickheads! You've reached Squalo! If you've got something useful, leave a message. If you just wanna chat, fuck right off.
