[Hewwo Erin, he can be finishing up at the mail room and heading out of it. He's still a little unsteady on his feet, but he's got his sword back, and a batlike creature hovering nearby.]
[Why do you all have to come from places that are so weird -- she thinks to herself in a very hypocritical manner]
Wish we knew. They're still a mystery -- but there's no doubt they're related to the ritual the cult is trying to achieve. Whether they're components or something containing instructions is hard to know.
[She's so valid for asking, honestly. Kanda would also love it if one of them knew what the hell these rune rocks were for. Unfortunately, he shakes his head.]
Nothing that works here. [He's familiar with magic, a little, but he's pretty sure he'd know by now if the cult was using anything he could work with. He spent the first few weeks of the game convinced otherwise, but by now, he's forced to concede defeat.] Lavi might recognize them. But the... guy with the ears [he means Nehan] said the cult might read our mail.
[So it's probably not safe to try and sketch them and mail them over.]
Why would the cult read the mail from a bunch signing with random nom de plumes and then send it all anyway? You'd think they'd throw the letters away and not let anyone receive them. Isolate everyone, leave them without any outside communication.
[Not that Erin is against taking precautions, of course! She's never going to mention anything about the rocks or about the ritual components people have stolen]
I think he meant that the cult watches the rest of them all the time, so if they saw them reading something from us or heard them talking too blatantly, they'd know we're around and we'd be screwed.
Not sure how I feel about having to rely on people's capacity to keep a tight lid on this.
[They won't intentionally tattle, buuuut also, well, slips happen, and it's going to be about two or three weeks of crossing fingers and hoping everyone will be careful. It's kind of stressful]
Think it's really going to be fine? Look, I have warmed up to all these people, but I'd sooner trust the people on this side to keep quiet about something, than the majority of people on the other side.
[Whiiiich she has to admit is fueled by how she has gotten to know far better the people she has been with here. Comparatively speaking, the living side's people are more of a mystery.
Kanda, though, has the opposite thing going on, he was among the living for far longer than Erin did, so she pokes to see what Kanda thinks]
[Funnily enough, most of the people Kanda liked best died very early, so they're also over on this side. Then again, he trusts Lavi the most, and Lavi is still alive. Dilemma.]
There's nothing we can do about it if it's not, so it's up to them to figure that out. [...] Humans want to live, though. If they fuck up, it won't be on purpose.
[Which doesn't really help in the end, but--he trusts them to at least try.]
If all goes to metaphorical hell and we all end up in literal hell after getting sacrificed for some deity, I'm not taking everyone along with me once I break out of the afterlife again.

The dangerous ones?

[She trails off when she sees Kanda's companion. Huh. Okay, that's new. What even is that]
Okay, what even is that?
[...don't get distrated, Erin. She shakes her head]
But yes, the dangerous ones. The ones that rewarded us with mystery rocks.

It's a communicator. [Well. Kind of. It does other things too but he's not going to get into it. He'd rather focus on the rocks.]
What are they?

Must be the same as the stuff we kept finding over there. [Their creepy post-CYOA rewards...]

[Oh hey...]
Have you ever heard about magic and runes and all that? Please say yes, I'm growing tired of having to ask that to everyone hoping for a yes.
[She's desperately looking for someone who can finally put an use to those rocks, ever since the first couple were found, and so far, no success!
because it is not the time yet erin let the murdergame go at its own pacing]

[Yeah. He agrees!!! He wants to have faith, but it really is so easy to slip up.]
We'll just have to keep warning them, I guess.
