Brother Goat has tasked me with gathering together the members of our team. It will be easier for us to generate nova if we are aware of each other, and if we're working together to do so - which will be easier on them in the long run, as this competition carries on.
I was the first to stop you last week, do you remember? I would not be sharing this information if I did not know it was completely safe.
[She nods to his question - yes, that much she does remember. She has a lot to ask and it's written on her face, but she scrunches it up in frustration when she opens her mouth and nothing comes out.
This sucks. :(
She is grabbing for a pair of chopsticks she had set aside, opening the pot and tasting whatever is inside... looks like rice? She'll let out a sigh of relief as she turns the oven off and moves the pot over, though, nodding for Xie Lian to take a look.
[ cute. xie lian smiles, pretty much giving off ~ good vibes ~
he hops up, reaching above her head to grab a couple bowls.]
How about I serve it, and you write? You look like you have questions... and, I can't say that I'll eat much, because I can't really taste much right now. Go ahead.
she hesitates for a second, but will concede with a quiet nod, picking her PHS back up and starting to type. She will leave it for him to read while she goes and looks for something in the fridge.]
have you had any luck finding them besides me
you dont need to tell me if you cant cause i dont want to make this situation worse but it would be really nice to know who we can talk to about goat san
did goat san tell you about what happened with the phs that one day and did you get one of your memories back too
as he scoops out the rice, he sets out two bowls, and then leans over to read, eyebrows raising as he's packing it nicely into the bowl for them. ]
First - I have found four of us so far. I think there are seven, so I am moving at a decent pace, but I'd like to find them faster. Brother Goat can only share so much information at a time. I don't think I can tell you their names - at least, I am not entirely sure - but, I think it will be best if we can wait until all of us are gathered together, so we can meet as a group.
Secondly, as for the PHS, it flashes to indicate that Brother Goat has remembered something.
And finally -- yes, I did get a memory back. Was that the only thing you received?
[Here she comes with eggs, setting them on a counter very carefully before typing some more. She would do very well in about 2 decades, she's catching on to this fast.]
ill try to talk to them about it. i was really worried last week when the rules got broken because it harmed all of them a lot i think and i wanted to do everything by myself when i woke up after that. i still do cause it feels like its all i know but its hard to ignore.
if goat san remember then that means whoever killed cater chan or sharon san was from our team then right [wow! Hate that!
She'll shake her head to the last thing.]
its under my pillow. i wore it for a couple days but after the decision i made yesterday it felt like i need to keep it apart from me for right now
Don't say too much about that - we cannot confirm or deny the team membership of any other person.
[ xie lian warns when it comes to the bit about cater and sharon, shaking his head, though it's a gentle warning. he watches her get the eggs, moving to lean against the counter so he doesn't poison anything with his bad cooking hands. ]
Brother Goat can only give it one hint a week in total for us to all find each other, so, if you would like to be the one to get a hint from them, that is fine - just please tell me if you are planning to ask, alright? They have already given me one hint this week, so they will not be able to help again until Monday. I am worried that if the information changes hands, it may overlap, and since we have precious few of the hints, I want to make sure we use them well.
That being said, there is still a little bit of time yet, this week. If you have someone that you trust very much, and you would like to share your team with them, you have time to do so - but please guard the information very carefully. Just to be safe, it may be best to only share with one other person - besides myself, since I don't count.
[ nod nod. he's looking out for your safety, here, hikaru!! at the last part, xie lian makes a quiet noise. ] I also received an item from home. [ and, turning his hand, he shows her a little red string tied around his right ring finger. ]
That came from gathering nova. Since our team was in fourth place, it's safe to assume that everyone on a team ahead of us also received the same thing.
[she'll shake her head again, pulling out Uno Egg and gesturing for her own rice bowl. Time to make a moat in her rice before she types again...]
i havent told anybody yet this week. i told only you last week and i told somebody else the week before but i dont think theyre on our team
i dont need the hints chijin i trust you and so does goat san or they wouldnt have asked you to do important things. ill just do what i can.
[she'll take a second to crack that raw egg fully into her little rice moat before taking her chopsticks and murdering the egg dead, stirring it all up, tossing a look at the red string while she does so. ???? What is it?]
[ xie lian is watching her do her little egg moat thing, and curiously going to imitate it when he realizes something. ] ....We need to come up with a name to call you... how about for now, we can call you "meimei"? It's a bit like San Lang calling me "gege", but for young ladies, instead of old men.
Alright then. [ meimei it is! he smiles, a bit, as he reads her directions and starts to do so!! stirring, stirring... ] It is a term of affection, so. Even when you do remember your true name, you could still be called "meimei".
[ and, as for her question, xie lian hums. ] Mm, kind of. San Lang gave it to me, not long before we arrived here. In our realm, it has some magical power imbued into it, but I think here, it is merely decoration; at home, it is tied directly to San Lang's life. That is to say, as long as this string is present on my finger, I know that his existence still remains in this world - so even if we are apart, I know he is safe, and vice versa, as he has the matching one.
[ xie lian laughs, a little fondly. ] Of all of the many, many, many things San Lang owns, I thought it was quite funny that we both received the same item.
silently laughs, guiding him to stop just for a second
did u know microwaves exist? she is absolutely taking his bowl and popping it into the microwave for like 20 seconds before giving it back to him with a more childishly stern expression
Stir u dummy look its hot again
She's gonna go get her PHS while he does that cause her own bowl is mixed enough that she just needs to let it sit.]
anyway. xie lian still looks vaguely confused, but he will laugh sheepishly and stir the bowl as requested when it's given back to him, scolded by a fourteen year old. wow! edible food.

make sure to stir it all in while the rice is still real hot cause itll cook and get really good that way

Something flickers in her eyes, a very vibrant and confused moment, like a puzzle piece sliding into place.
