night 2: text

[purport]

[ The Princess is decidedly not well-socialized, and even less versed in technology. However, when Shinjiro and Yukari could contribute so much more in the realm of practical knowledge, it falls to her and Tsubaki to find ways to carry their share of the load.

And so, at an hour when people may either be asleep or on the verge of it, the Princess chooses to relay their findings. ]

I'm following up on the AI investigation Tsubaki mentioned.

BB helped us track their signal, which apparently goes into that void. Great news, I know.

[ The implications of that aren't wonderful, she'd say. But she doesn't. Instead there's a long lapse between this message and another, as though she's been debating how to ask. She doesn't ask for things she could do herself, but... Can she do it herself? ]

Does anyone have thoughts on how to continue from here?

[ Poking around the void doesn't sound particularly safe, and yet... What if they can glean something from this? ]

I think for now the Void is beyond our capability to explore safely. If even the demons refuse to go near it... well, better hope one of us can find a military-grade exploration drone in one of these houses eh? ο(=•ω＜=)ρ⌒☆

[purport]

Do you think we need something like that to see what's down there?

[ Is it Shun'ya's humor or a genuine evaluation? ]

[foxchild]

It couldn't hurt! Literally. It'd take the damage in our stead and is a cold unfeeling machine so no guilt for the bleeding hearts amongst us!

[purport]

Would people have considered sending something living down there?

[ As a first measure, it seems reckless even to her. ]

If we can't find a drone, maybe we can put something usable together.

[dancinglight]

While I believe that we should be cautious about anything that could possibly be deadly to us, there is something about this that bothers me. If the answers we need are beyond the rift, we should find a way to ascertain them.

Don't get me wrong, though. I don't think we should charge in there without clear preparation for what may happen.

[foxchild]

You shouldn't. Myself and Mister M attempted to investigate it ourselves, and the demon sacrifi- er partner refused to go anywhere near it.

If demons refuse to go near it, you know it's bad news...

[dancinglight]

[A sigh that Shun'ya won't hear before she responds back.]

That is not a great sign... but is there really nothing we can do about it?
