[there's a tiny little brush fire that Mitsuru is trying to stomp out, so uh]

I assure you, this was-- an accident. . .!

[it's a small enough fire that the super soaker likely contains it just fine. Mitsuru rubs at her temple, brows furrowed in annoyance]

. . . thank you. I feel as though I'm going to struggle a bit this week.

[. . . well, that gets her to chuckle a bit in amusement, something to cut through the annoyance and frustration]

It's true. Although my weakness is fire, when we aren't taking Shadows into account, my bufu skills do make me effective at extinguishing flames.

This is a. . . curious event. How on Earth were our powers swapped in the first place?

[a pause]

. . . the voice in our heads told us to kill if we wished to have our powers back. I imagine our "power swap" is related to whatever infection we all have.

[HM. . .]

I'd like to ask a question about that, if you don't mind. If you have a moment.

The other day, you warned Ren away from burning the time out shack because "something" might scream. When I approached him about this, he stated he couldn't tell me what he meant because you asked him to keep it a secret.

[. . .]

What did you tell him?

It would scream because it's alive.

[which is exactly what she had supposed to Ren, although he had been unable to comment any further on same]

[if this true she suddenly understands why Red told Ren to keep quiet!!]

That's what I'm not certain of just yet. Is it simply the camp, and camp buildings that are alive? Or perhaps. . . it's the entire planet?

[oh thank god, "living camp" feels better than "living planet."]

[on the whole, though, she's handling this quite well]


At one point in my life, I might have insisted that such a thing was impossible.

Ren also mentioned something about believing that the rocks were in places other then us. And taking that in conjugation with what Talcott attempted to communicate today-- if that was, indeed, Talcott. . .

[the gears in her mind are spinning, and although the conclusions she reaches are unfavorable, she states them all with a chilling calmness]

Is this camp. . . comprised entirely of the creature that infected us? And is this creature simply an organic being perhaps being studied by the organization for which you work?

Are we meant to be "food?"

[jesus christ that's the only part Red is challenging]

. . . what would you call it?

A living fossil.

[that makes sense, in context with everything else they've seen]

Does this living fossil have a name?
