[over in the vending machine area, still dressed in a kigu...]

Poll time, Ace-san! Pineapple or no pineapple?

[selfimmolation]

[ NOT in a kigu, IS shirtless, but is also no longer covered in blood so we have PROGRESS ]

--This for the pizza? Everyone keeps telling me not to try the pineapple! It makes me seriously want to try it.

[eliminated]

[glad ace is now blood-free.]

Haha, people have really strong opinions on pineapple! You've never had it before?

[selfimmolation]

By itself, sure. Not on pizza.

[ and everyone is so intense he's curious now. to be contrarian. ]

[eliminated]

[honestly valid]

Well, when it comes to food, I guess you can't just take other people's word for it, huh?

[selfimmolation]

Yeah. Plus, I'm not as picky as most people.

[eliminated]

Mm. When you're responsible for procuring your own food, you take what you can get, huh?

[hi wherever ace is chiemi is running up to him and slapping him on the shoulder]

Tag! You're it, Ace-san.

[selfimmolation]

[ probably he is somewhere eating and he is just looking around with his mouth full like ?! ]

Huh-- wait, are we playing?

[eliminated]

Yup! Well, if you can't catch me, feel free to tag someone else.

[nyooms away]

[selfimmolation]

[ no fuck you he's immediately sprinting after that ]

Like I'm letting you get away that easy!

[eliminated]

That's the spirit, Ace-san—but I'm not going to make it easy for you!

[ducks into a nearby building which for this purpose will be s.u.p.e.r.]

[selfimmolation]

You better not!

[ HE IS NYOOM HE IS SPEED he is uh going to try to tackle her if he gets close enough im ngl ]

week 0, friday

[eliminated]

[somewhere out in the void, chiemi looks pretty shaken, but she tilts her head in acknowledgment of ace's presence when she sees him.]

... Hey, Ace-san. Glad to see that you're... well, okay.

[selfimmolation]

[ he'll nod at her. he's still got a copy of the newspaper with him... ]

... Yeah. You have any idea what happened?

[eliminated]

... No. Rocket-san, he—I was locked in with him and some others last night. Not at the cafe, though.

[selfimmolation]

[ ... ]

Yeah, I know. I was at the cafe. There wasn't anyone else there when the doors locked.

[eliminated]

... Oh. [a pause] So you were locked in too, huh. I really don't know what was going on there.

[selfimmolation]

... I didn't think anything of it. I thought I just got locked in by accident by an employee or something. [ and he didn't think to try the phone because he forgets about it half the time ]

week 1, monday

[eliminated]

[yo]

Hey, Ace-san! Would you say you're good at, uh, hunting hunting or did you just tackle bears in the jungle head-on?

[selfimmolation]

Hunting hunting! I wasn't always strong enough to tackle a bear head on, y'know. I started with boars.

[ is that better. ]

[eliminated]

[ace......

but she sighs.]

Darn. Guess I can't use you, then.

[selfimmolation]

Oh, it's for the task thing? Sorry. There's plenty I don't know, but outdoors stuff is one of the few things I kinda had no choice but to learn.

[ or like, die. ]

[eliminated]

Yeah, hunting's all I'm really good at. Though since it's not like that's an easy thing to do here, Mouse-san suggested, like, extreme hide and seek?

[selfimmolation]

So it'd be more like hunting people but as a game? That's not a bad plan actually!
