[. . .



















When everyone wakes up as the new week dawns, they will be in for a nasty surprise. After all, IT does not forget-and IT does not forgive.

There were nine strangers in this place-but six of them are suddenly missing from their homes.]

Maybe? She’s apparently dealing with a lot of them back home, and those aren’t the things causing problems, so I’d take zombies that don’t eat us over nothing.

[Though he’d also take literally anything else over zombies. He doesn’t want to deal with rotting flesh or anything.]

[relieable]

[yeeeeah Osomatsu is just... imagining Akko and Franciscus and everyone as zombies and it is not pretty]

Well, I guess it's an option. Like, a last option.

[unwittingking]

Yeah, last resort, if we have nothing else.

[He, too, does not like the images of ZomBeatrice or Elizombie, but they’re better than just remembering them as glass shards.]

I don’t suppose you have any ideas of what else we could do?

[relieable]

Me?

[he blinks, as though he's taken aback by the question]

I... don't, actually. I tried givin' Link back his tunic, and he reacted super badly! I tried just leaving it in his room again, today, but I dunno if that'll help. As for our problems with the dead...

[he shakes his head, at a loss]

[unwittingking]

Well, I'm not too surprised. It seems like IT wants everyone to not think about their homes or anything. IT might've made them try to distance themselves from their things...has anyone tried to get that fabric thing back to him? The one Vita found? Or anything that might've been Hiyori's?

[He's not sure, but maybe it could help...possibly?]

I figured, but it's always good to check. The most I can throw out is that maybe we'll get lucky and we can choose which Heaven they all go to. My worlds version is pretty lenient, and I think it's not too hard to get reincarnated there.

…should I explain how I know that?

[He's willing to, but his tone is along the lines of 'It's a long story.']

[relieable]

[squint! he's thinking of something, now that King's mentioned it. ah, but the computer than made clones in Cartesio was destroyed]

...Yeah.

[unwittingking]

[He gives a small sigh, annoyed rather than sad.]

To give you the short version, I had to deal with demigod BS-or just celestial being BS-before this, and at one point that involved getting stuck in Heaven while Bailey was training in Australia how to fight with a sword and work a giant suit of armor. We were there for, I think it was six months?

Point is, I got to know how things worked there, at least a little bit. I'm pretty sure they'd be allowed reincarnation, after all the stuff we've been through.

And yes, it has pretty much anything you could ever want, so long as what you want isn't a certain person that's still alive.

[The physical embodiment of "Too Good To Be True" for the most part.]

[relieable]

So your world has a Heaven that can reincarnate people...

That sounds awesome! Could they be reincarnated as anything? Ooh! Like butterflies!

[......?]

[unwittingking]

Maybe. The only thing I really heard about was getting reincarnated as yourself. Something along the lines of someone doing enough good there that, if they decide they want to be alive again, they can just go back as themselves, like nothing happened.

[Hence why he’s hoping they can come back that way.]

Don’t see why that can’t be possible, though.

[relieable]

[Osomatsu may be excited about people reincarnating. he has more questions, but maybe those don't need to be asked at this moment]

Yeah, that'd be better for everyone! I guess I'm just worried about them being reincarnated as babies, or something.

[that wouldn't be all bad, giving those people a second chance]

[unwittingking]

Maybe still not the best, but I’d still prefer them coming back as babies over bringing them back as zombies.

[Again, those mental images are very not nice.]

[relieable]

I mean. Yeah. Of course.

[imagine zombies... bad]

[unwittingking]

So how about...second to last option? Above zombies, but below anything else people can come up with?

[relieable]

[he laughs a bit]

Okay, that sounds good. We'll keep that idea on the back-burner.

[unwittingking]

[He actually laughs a little bit himself.]

Alright, now let’s just hope the others are better than me at coming up with ideas.
