WEEK 6



[Fifteen X-Passes. You've finally done it. You can now go free. However, the price has been steep. Too steep.




True, you can leave. Anyone can, now. But simply leaving may be a bad idea. After all, who knows what else Zero has up its sleeve? Who knows what's outside of the HMHS Gigantic? How will they survive? How will they eat? And those are the easy questions that need to be answered. After all, the mystery of Zero, the mystery of Zack, the mystery of who is the cause of all of this and why-those things are also seemingly impossible to answer without some preparation. There's also the new area that's opened up that may yet yield more for the survivors to mull over.


Rushing is surely a bad idea. It's time to prepare. Take the time to get ready for whatever is outside. Stock up on supplies. Write what needs to be written. Say what needs to be said. Get ready for the possibility that whatever is out there, whatever the answers are-they will not be easy, and they will not be quick.


More than that, but-where are all these cuts coming from on your body? Hm. Maybe you keep bumping into things or scratching too hard. Did everyone save Roland get super clumsy or something all of a sudden?


Well. Maybe the answers to all that are just around the corner. So. Let's get ready. The end is near.


There are 8 9 strangers currently on this ship.



Wait. Nine?]

And generally, the visions you saw were of people about to die, were they not?

[voidseeing]

The vision of Aoi and Akane seemed more like a death interrupted, though I suppose that would be close enough to count. Nero's was most assuredly a death.

[superstylishsquid]

...I saw Dante in mine, and I'd been talking about him soon before that.

[onychomance]

A name drop was enough?

[superstylishsquid]

It was more than a namedrop. I'd been thinking about what he'd do if he knew about the Qliphoth.

[onychomance]

.... Then if we are close to an answer, it may open our minds to these visions somehow.

[superstylishsquid]

Maybe we can provoke visions of people who might know something...like Delta.

[onychomance]

Near death experiences can be intense as well.... I agree.

[voidseeing]

Given what happened, I'd say Aoi was lucky to have survived. It may be a good thing that he doesn't remember it at all.

[onychomance]

It might truly have not happened to him. Did you know that Akane was brought here in the midst of the old nonary game that our letters claim this one is based on? It's already a paradox. Then maybe they were transported to more than one location from that beginning point....

[voidseeing]

... the Intercessor. That might be her role. She led them to a door.

[onychomance]

A door... Was it like the X door?

[The one he can't open at this very second because Makima whipped him to come here ...]
