CRM: IT'S JUST
CRM: So LoUD HERE!!!

CRM closed memo.

You come apart again, as you have since you found out that she... You have never liked the way you lose time before, but you're thankful for it now. You get the feeling the blank spots are getting bigger and bigger when you wake up out of sight of the nearest town only to fall away again a moment later. And all through it there's chatter, familiar voices and people you feel like you've known for sweeps. You take to hiding from them when they get especially loud.

Eventually they leave you alone again and you're left in the quiet, isolated black in your mind.


HOURS IN THE FUTURE BUT NOT MANY, you return to yourself. Or rather. You rise to the front, leaving the cluttered mess of your mind behind you for a moment. You have things you need to attend to in the outside world. People who need to be informed. It takes you another hour to walk back to the nearest town, and you ache by the time you settle into a corner and open your husktop. The heat has done this body no favors at all.

[...Well, shit.

How many dead sessionmates was that now? Three?]

i'm sorry

[bizango]

It's fine dear~

It's not actually fine at all. You are saying this for someone's benefit, though who's you're not sure. Possibly your own.

[flowerwhisperer]

it isn't

You know that much.

[bizango]

...

Yes well~
There's very little sense in dwelling on it now is there~

[flowerwhisperer]

i
yeah
urm, can i ask you something?

[bizango]

Of course dear~

[flowerwhisperer]

since you're not Ka|four

...wait who the fuck??

Ah~
Yes dear~

[twintimes]

[bizango]

Oh~
Can you not see~

The memo. How inconvenient! Clearly you're missing some information here...

Im sorry dear~
Merzet and Preta have died~

[twintimes]

oh..
no I
cAn't se thAt one
I-
..

..sorry to heAr It.

[bizango]

Im sorry as well~
Were you close with them my dear~

[austereastronomer]

You sit at your desk silently for a while, and then utter a string of words which are, alas, rather inelegant, but express quite well how you are feeling at this very moment, which is a combination of DISBELIEVING, ANGRY (at yourself, mostly), and HOLLOW.

I'm so sorry.
Do you know how it happened?

...wait, did he just say that he wasn't Kalfour—

[bizango]

She was overwhelmed~
Before he could get to the gate to help~
Merzet was stabbed~
Perhaps by an imp~

[austereastronomer]

You had known the game was going to be difficult, but not this early. And not like this.

It's a while before you send your next message.

...I see.
We should all be extra-careful, then.
We're down to... what, five players, now?
...Though I haven't heard from Phaest in a while. But she's probably just away from her husktop.

...you HOPE.

Are things all right on your end?

[bizango]

As all right as they can be I suppose~
Im unfortunately being forced to play catch up with this game~
Which is less then pleasant~
However it will be fine given enough time~

[austereastronomer]

Well, feel free to let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you.
Hopefully once we get past the initial stage the game will be easier.

[bizango]

Yes I imagine this is the hardest part~
Thank you for your offer dear~
Ill keep it in mind~

because this just screams as something that should happen also i am so sorry?

[celestialcavalier]

I CAN MAKE IT LOUDER IF YOU WANT.
I MEAN, THIS COUNTS AS LOUD, RIGHT?
YOU'RE READING THIS IN A LOUD VOICE.

TRY EARPLUGS.

omg laksdjflj ahahahahasldkfjklj

[bizango]

...you dislike this person and you have only just met them.

Yes dear~
When I am next inconvenienced by loud sounds~
I will be sure to keep your advice in mind~

oh good you're keysmashing

[celestialcavalier]

Oh look, you're using proper grammar!
I didn't think you'd have it in you, after that display.

You could also just... I dunno, walk away from the noise?
Typing out a memo instead of doing something about the noise seems like a really bad life choice.

lsdjf yes this is gr8

[bizango]

Yes well~
He was rather overwhelmed~
And was unfortunately the bearer of bad news~
You understand if he wasnt entirely coherent~

[celestialcavalier]

Yeah, shit happens.
Tell him to shut up next time, though.
Seriously, rude.
That or just smack him a few times with like a pillow or something.

[bizango]

...

No~
You would do well to cease speaking to me now my dear~
