[ Honestly between this and the common room, they might as well claim corners and take root, considering everything going on. Ming Yi does not hesitate to join her, and reaches to pick through everything after his shovel is propped against the nearby wall. ]
Harrowhark believes that the skull found might have been used as a focus for a spell. It's viable - the practice is common in Zhongguo as well - but we're not meant to have our abilities here. [ momf ]
Exactly. So how would something like that work in the first place?
[ she takes a bite and chews thoughtfully. ]
Obviously, someone wanted to frame Wondergirl. They could have just taken her stuff for that, but if there was really some kind of spell involved... [ hmmm. ] ...Well, the Avatars did say this place will change to suit how we want to indulge, didn't they?
Her confusion and distress was genuine enough. Whether she has recollection of what she did, who's to say - when put on the spot, she was obviously nervous, and I doubt Mollymauk's contributions actually helped much.
[ And then, you know, fight. ]
If someone had a strong enough willpower to change this place, to fulfill some kind of indulgence, it could warp it. Maybe your theory about someone with wrath as their sin wasn't off. [ ... a. A beat. ] Did you get something, from the phone? A message, followed by a feeling.
[ Sure wasn't pretty, but it did cause despair, so there's that.
There is a very long pause of consideration, one that he uses to eat some fruit, largely for something to do as he turns it over. ]
... Friday, I got a message on the phone. Afterwards, it felt like I had gained something - an ability, for however minor of a thing it would be compared to what I'm used to, causing someone to fixate when it's used on them. This place can take away power, and apparently grant it, as well.
An ability, huh…? Someone mentioned rewards - for your little adventures earlier this week?
[ that i, ray, was too dead to participate in, rip ]
Something to do with that, I take it? Maybe that’s got something to do with how everything went so badly. Think there’s some ability out there that could set someone up for murder?

[ she sighs. this sucks. ]
Could it warp the place enough to let them use some kind of magic like that, though? [ that is the question.
...at least, until ming yi asks about the phone? hello? she raises an eyebrow. ]
Can't say that I did. What kind of things are we talking here?
[ is this some kind of curse what the fuck ]

[ looks at next week and what mini-event there might be, hums worriedly ]
Which means that there might be - even if we don't know what it is, yet, it's still entirely possible that it's something we should keep track of.
no subject
...But if that's the case, I'll make sure I don't miss the next one, however crazy it ends up being. Who knows? Might be worth it.
no subject
[ But, yeah, better safe than sorry. ]
If you wind up needing help during it, let me know. I went with Qingxuan and Childe, and we managed fine enough, despite the fiasco that it was.

Dare I ask what they put you through?
