I'm noticing a trend with our meetings, Miss Furude.

[First the hotel and now this... at least their minds aren't being affected.]

I take it you've played before? Any tips?

[miiraculous]

[It's true that a trend is beginning to form. Rika sighs into her answer, that sigh being an unspoken agreement not to play dumb right now. There's no benefit to it with Chara.]

Don't die. [A pause. Then, a more honest answer;] The water gave me the most trouble last time.

Is this your first time casting these dice?

[the_obedient_servant]

[Much better. They always find the exaggerated high pitch tones more offputting than anything else. They look out at the jungle, as if surveying it for threats.]

Dying is often a lose state in these sorts of games. But yes, it is.

The water?

[miiraculous]

I see.

[It sounds familiar, but Rika doesn't comment on that. Instead she nods to confirm and then points off in the distance.]

I had tried to follow a river and find more people, but it didn't work. This place certainly seems determined to kill its players.

[the_obedient_servant]

Avoid the rivers then...

[Chara lifts up their dagger, stands in front of an overgrown tangle of plants and cuts through it like paper.]

Have you ever played a video game, Miss Furude?
