...Unfortunately, I'm not too versed in flower language myself. I've never had much of a green thumb.
[ ...to her other comment though, he just laughs weakly. ]
You won't find much of a difference, I'm afraid... seeing as how the bulk of my recent notes were simply transcribing and commenting on the meetings you've had on this side.
I guess they're not important for now. But uh - there's the stuff with Virgo. And the cannibal guy. And, uh - Souji? I guess just tell me what you can about what's over there.
[ i'm gonna say they've come around to a space that has some kind of seating area so that hope can try to sit down instinctively... and just sort of fall through the chair. and also into the ground. oops ]
[ the top of his head pokes out of the ground. while his face is visible only from the nose up, the way his eyebrows pinch definitely say that he is pouting. ]
[ give him a bit then >:( but he slowly starts to rise out of the ground, until he finally plants his feet back on the ground (metaphorically, of course). ]
...I guess not having a fully physical form isn't all that different from spatio-temporal displacement.
—Right, sorry. What I meant was... it's like I'm from a different time and place, unable to interact with anything "here." By all means, I'm not supposed to be here, yet... here I am.
Of course. And now that I'm over here, hopefully I can figure out how to free the others, too. All of us are getting out of here.
That being said... [ from one of the pouches hanging off his waistbelt (i hate that i have to specify), he takes out and unfurls a sizable sheaf of notes that's just as translucent as he is. ] Where do you want me to begin?
Our main locale was a mansion—obviously nothing as nice as the hotel, but the building itself was... surprisingly pleasant, all things considered. We were able to witness public events via animated portraits and gramophones in the dining hall. While we couldn't directly interact with the staff, besides Virgo, we could still send them messages via typewriter and meet with them in a special room that allowed us to share dreams with them.
Of note outside the mansion were a garage with a carriage, a garden that we could send flowers from, and an exact replica of the cemetery on this side.
[she says, absently.] ... Dreams and portraits. Okay. [rotates that in her mind like a rotisserie chicken] And - so, lemme see if I have this right. You guys knocked Virgo out and took their key? And then... did what with it, unlocked someone's cage? And they ruined the garden? Or were those two separate things.
What - who, Sheila? No, she just said the other day during our meeting that she was wondering if the door with the mansion that we can't reach was where you guys are.
Oh. For a moment I thought you meant she briefly was on our side before she dug her way back out to yours after the execution... we've had a theory that the two cemeteries are how both planes are connected.
[ he shakes his head briefly as if to get the notion out of his head... as if what he follows up with is any better. ]
In any case, yes, those two events were linked. I let my curiosity get the better of me and devised a plan to distract Virgo in order to gain access to a door they were guarding... unfortunately, it spiraled a little out of control at some point. From that point, we had a man named Qi Rong with us... whose name you may recognize from documents you previously uncovered.
...in a way. He's even less of a presence than Claude and I are, but he's technically still over there. We were able to successfully lock him back behind the door.

I got the flowers. They were nice. Not a dang clue what they mean, but they were nice.

Ghosting around in whatever form always throws me off real bad, so like, I do get it. Sucks. [...] We're going to fix it, though. Promise.
