I hoped to catch both culprits, but I could not have thought the votes would align the way that they did - even last night, when I was pondering the larger implications of how the voting process might work, I had ruminated on a situation where we were forced to choose, and at least we would be able to monitor and question the other person to keep an eye on if they would still be impacted by the manipulative tactics of Thursday.
[ he nods his thanks for the water and sips it, quiet for a moment. ]
I wonder if perhaps this will continue until not one of us is left standing. I do not enjoy the thought of accepting such a fate, and yet I already feel as if the death of our culprits is inevitable tomorrow.
... There's currently a theory that the other members of this crew - the ones before our senior crew - may have been in a situation not unlike ours, in that they may have killed each other. Our current senior crew's memories of their crewmates are quite faulty, and there appears to be some sort of mental block when we speak to them regarding their experience before on the 'winter tour'.

While I do not necessarily find them trustworthy, I do believe unlocking what happened to them may be the key to stopping this cycle we've found ourselves in.

That we had two cases this week is much cause for concern.

Have you heard much of the digital notebooks and all the others have been finding, lately?

Well. Ours appeared after defeating the nefarious 'Shrek' in battle.
[ monsters drop loot? this is normal ]
Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure.
no subject
Perhaps we might've asked this Shrek if he had any further information.

Dion. Do you think I'm the sort to beat something to death without getting information from it first? Hardly.
[ (profile skill) coerce ]
It couldn't speak beyond grunts. Not to mention, each situation where one of these has appeared has been a different anomaly - Throné, for example, ran into a creature that only said "oooooo" the first time she found one. I'm of the opinion that perhaps they are minor disturbances like the storms themselves - using... ah. Cosmoelectromagnetic waves, I believe is the term.
