Since there are six seven six several of us here and we have a few places to explore, we ought to divide into two teams rather than focusing on a single goal. For the next two days, the basement and the area beyond the walls should take priority.

[toad], [flower], [fox] -- you three are best suited for the latter. Avoid leaving the building early--any time saved might be wasted fighting off birds--and don't hesitate to retreat immediately if the situation proves too risky. We can regroup tomorrow and modify plans accordingly. I need one of you three to find me so I can pass on some resources and give you more detailed information. I'll be outside in the sun room, or just stop by my room (M37) after dinner.

[scarecrow], [paintbrush] -- we'll keep exploring the basement. I have new information, but I need to give the details in person, so we should meet after dinner. One thing to note, though: there's a chance we might be up against things that can sense our particular weaknesses, so prepare accordingly.

everyone -- find me when you have a chance, I'm finished with what we talked about last night.

Hey -

Anyone here from Inaba?

I'm looking for information on Costa Del Sol.

Norn,

It is tonight, yes?

Hello,
My name is Chihaya! I'm looking for my friend Elvira and the Black Angels. I think they brought me here, but I'm a little confused. If you can help me, I'd be grateful!

Thank you very much!


[Added sometime later:]

Oh! I'm back.
I'm a little concerned about the flowers in the courtyard. The soil seems a little too acidic for some of them. It's not enough to kill them but they won't grow nearly as beautiful as they could! I asked a nurse but she said she doesn't deal with these matters.

Does anybody know the correct authority I should speak to about this?

Thank you again,
Chihaya
