At the same time, not knowing all the details makes it hard to report on properly or do much with... But - We'll see. I'll ask for more detail if I think I need it.
It wasn't downstairs - it was in the locked room across the hall from the cafeteria. I believe we pressed a button that said Basement 1, and then the images that we saw... mm, someone called it a 'video' -
I see... So we still don't know what Basement 1 is. [ A theater, maybe, not that she's familiar with the concept?? ] And if it's number 1 than there must be others, too.
Yes - there was an assortment of them. Buttons that said 'All' and 'None' and 'Hotel' and 'Pool', as well as enumerating the Basements. So I would like to see where else we can access.
[easily - as for the question, higekiri nods]
Mm, I had that question too. It was explained to me that it is similar to a series of pictures, but taken in such rapid succession that when shown in order and at the correct speed, it is able to capture something in the time it takes place. However the video we were shown was something that never occurred.
It was a video of the three of us fucking.
[please
please teach him a different word for it, i beg of you, it sounds so weird on his old timey japanese lips]
It was a bit odd... But we found an assortment of items in one of the storage units. One of them was this device -
[and he pulls out a cassette tape from his pocket, labeled 1ST even though it looks rather worn]
And when it was inserted into its proper place... The lights turned off. The young woman screamed, and she told me that she felt something had grabbed her and she couldn't move until I had turned the lights on again. The image on the monitor had changed, and shown myself and the young man murdered brutally.
[he
won't say how, this is where he's censoring himself for her,,]
[ . . . i'm sorry but he laughs a little - but at least it's a fond sound]
So many humans have asked me that...
You're all very kind.
I am fine. [and honestly it sounds like he means it] I am unbroken, and though I wish I could have done more to protect the humans present, I am relieved they are physically unharmed.
[ She doesn't want to be too rude or presumptuous though, so. ]
... Or maybe there's just something about being a brother that suits her better...? I call my cousin my brother, because we're so close. [ So maybe it's like that? ]

And I appreciate it.

[tbh,, but he's going to proceed anyway]
Are you familiar with the concept of a 'recording studio'? I have been told that's the type of setting we were located in.
no subject
[ She nods, even though her idea of it is like... Maybe a place where people transcribe books or official records of some kind? Close enough. ]
Why would something like that be downstairs...?
no subject
It wasn't downstairs - it was in the locked room across the hall from the cafeteria. I believe we pressed a button that said Basement 1, and then the images that we saw... mm, someone called it a 'video' -
That was then sent to Basement 1 to be played.
no subject
What, um... What's a video?

Escha nods, but it's up in the air how well she understands. ]
Oh...! That must have been very shocking to see.
[ It does not occur to her that he doesn't know other words for it, so instead she's just thrown off by him saying fucking! Great! ]

That's terrible... Are you feeling alright? [ Because first things first! That's the most important thing! ]

And I'm also glad everyone is concerned. It's a good thing if we have a lot of compassionate people around...!
no subject
You're all very sweet... I feel as though I want to protect you all to the best of my ability.

[he blinks like he
didn't think of that
before offering a smile]
Mm, very well. I would appreciate that. My younger brother would, too.
no subject
[ Her guess comes from them having similar faces, hair colors, and most importantly: Hizamaru's profile mentions an older brother! ]
I haven't met him yet, but I'd like to.
no subject
When you do, please treat him well. He's a very reliable younger brother.
no subject
I will! I'm so jealous, I wish I had siblings.
no subject
[don't do it escha
don't do it]
no subject
You... Found another brother?
no subject
Mm! She had said that she wanted to be our brother, and so we invited her.
[well higekiri did and then hiza just had to deal with it]
It's nice, to have a growing family.
no subject
[ Is that her only problem with it?? ]
no subject
higekiri pauses]
Hmm... maybe?
[welp]
no subject
... Or maybe there's just something about being a brother that suits her better...? I call my cousin my brother, because we're so close. [ So maybe it's like that? ]
no subject
[higekiri likes that idea!! he smiles]
I do not know the ways of human family relationships very well... but my new brother seems very familiar to me in ways. Is that not enough?
no subject
And it's nice to think of us all getting along so well, even though we were brought here...
[ Against their will. And also with all of the weird demon stuff he just told her about. It's fine. It's fine. ]
