[Okay but WHY ARE THE SPRINKLERS ON in the foyer and all along the central corridors?]

[They're just ... going to keep going. And going. And going, for just over half an hour, until there are some nice puddles all over the floors.]

[Hi there Ferril a Zaniah is waving hello to you.]

[...she's missing her index finger. Welp.]

[waving back, until she notices the finger missing.]

Zaniah—

Good day to you, Ferril. Has anything happened to Music?

N—No. Not yet, at least.

Ahh.

I believe we were hit.

I—I can tell...

[She waves her hand idly.]

The two of them were rather polite about the entire thing, though I had to give them a lecture about not doing such things in the middle of a hallway.

[. . .]

I... I see.

Which reminds me--we have additional medical supplies outside of the first kit, and I do not foresee requiring any in the immediate future. If you should need some, I am willing to serve as I did back in the library.

We still have our supplies too, but—thank you.

It is no problem.

Still... the rules of this game are quite frustrating, yes?

[softly:]

They always have been.

[A small nod.]

Still, I believe I shall be able to protect Math. Do the same for Music. I do not know if they have any other veterans.

. . . I will.

Rue's played this contest too with me, but Vanilla hasn't, and neither have the rest of them.

I have never played it before either, but it is a game I have considered strategy for many times since I heard about it.

[...wait]

Vanilla is here? With you?

Mm...

You're on Math, Coco and Kit are on Drama, Vanilla, Rue, and I are on Music, Swift is on Science, and Rena and Fox are on Art. That's the tally that I have so far, at least.

With such an intimate game, even without speaking it should be possible to avoid each other or at least remain low.

...I do feel somewhat bad for history, however.

... I do too.

Just the same, I shall speak with them to see how they think. [Brushing... her hair... behind her ear with her defingered hand...]

... Mm. Alright.

I wonder if we would have our full powers if we found a way to come back here after we have left...

It would be nice to teach a lesson to such a rude entity.

It would, but... they always seem to get away with it—nothing ever happens to them, no matter what we do. If we fight back, we just get punished.

Then until one of us has regained the ability to kill gods it would be best to bide our time.

Unless a button should appear which will kill the entity in question, of course.

. . .

[softly:]

It's never that easy.

In the library, Sage wound up disabling Sophie and killing all the already-dead portraits through the push of a button.

It is not impossible.
