[The first inaugural meeting of the Vore Trauma Society can meet after trial in Vira and Harrow's room, in the kitchen area which is mercifully clean and free of snacks.]
[ Well, that was awful.
Anyway, the only thing here is some water, which they're welcome to enjoy if they'd like. ]
Well, at least we found who the cat toy likely belongs to.
[ She is not bringing up Toblerones to break the ice. ]

I spoke to Gluttony about the gem. I do not recommend this, by the by.
[Y'all, Gluttony is fucking trash.]
They said the gem ought to belong to the Avatar with gems in their wings. Despair has colorful wings, but I wasn't certain.

Despair does have crystalline wings...
[ but. ] Did they give you trouble?
[ but. ] Did they give you trouble?
Oh, so you have spoken to them.
[Yes, exactly. God.]
. . . Truly, I do not recommend speaking with them of our experience. Their perspective on the events was disturbing, and tinged with unasked for comments of a personal nature.
I don't really care if they get their little cat toy back, either. I don't see why we ought to run their errands.

They seem like someone to hold at an arm's length.
[ she's spoken to them a few times without incident, but they aren't exactly friendly. ]
Still, I think it might be helpful to discover why we found their belongings there. Perhaps they'll shed some greater light on our situation.

All I will say about Gluttony is that they told me what they enjoy most is instilling fear in others. When I asked them what they meant, they made me experience... the one thing that would upset me the most.
[ anyway. ]
We should all go around and ask. It might be best if we each try, since their answers might vary depending on how much they like you.

[Takeru. . . damn. She nods at that.]
That's what I mean about not asking about what happened. I thought it made sense because of the obvious parallels to Gluttony, but they. . . appeared to be intentionally trying to twist the knife.
[She doesn't know how much the others want to hear it, but.]
They made a nasty little speech about how cruel it was to reject her offer, and how we ought to have. . . [Actually, this is upsetting to talk about] brought her back with us in some capacity.
Shall we take polaroids of the items, then?

[ Harrow keeps it vague, but it still makes her expression frigid, a stillness to her voice.
Mercy, she still hears, clear as day. ]
...We could. That would allow all of us to make inquiries with whoever we like.

[ he doesn't seem too surprised by what harrow says, but for a second his expression just looks as enraged as it did when he was talking to hk earlier. but it smooths over. ]
Let's do it. And if there's a chance that the same things happens to other people, we should find out if they find anything, too.

[It's okay, Takeru. She's going to hold a grudge about that until the day she dies. She understands.]
Yes. That's what I fear. . . that someone else will be dragged into that place, as unprepared as we were. Before that happens, I want to learn what we can.
[. . .]
And. . . it might be pointless to try, but I'd like to find a way back there myself.

[ Since it's their room, she'll go fish out her camera as she speaks. She keeps her voice carefully level, though it goes soft. ]
...It has haunted me some.
Even now, if we were to return somehow, I do not know if I would have a solution to the trial we faced.

I don't. . . want to think we did. I certainly couldn't have made a different one.
[Even if it was the right answer somehow, just - no.
Maybe next time they just roll up with some snacks.]

[ she nods. ]
Right or wrong, we made the only choice we could. It would be worse to live, knowing that we were capable of such monstrosity.
[ how badly could that have gnawed at them over time? she only regrets the uncertain fate of that child. ]
I am just grateful we all came to the same decision in the end.

Hold on. Why are we even questioning our choice? There is no scenario where eating a fucking child is the right answer, I don't care what anyone else says.
[Truly the biggest regret is that Jingle went missing. But, hey, at least they didn't do something they would literally regret for the rest of our lives.]

What was even the point? For us to show we would go all the way while here? Idiotic.
[ he is completely ignoring the fact they spend a good portion of trial thinking kaz got vored. admittedly he was probably disassociating a bit when that conversation was at its height, but still. ]
That place... had a lot of themes about gluttony, so there's a good chance if there are other ones, it might be more about the other vices. We'll have to make sure we specifically go to where she is.
[ somehow. would be awk if they pop up in some lust bullshit. ]

[To Sheila's point, she just looks a little. . . ill. Gluttony got in her head y'all that's why she's questioning things.]
Gluttony said something about carrying someone's essence within you. It. . . as I said, it was no more than a provocation. But also, it is possible. I don't mean flesh. I mean. . . to consume someone's soul upon their death, thus preserving it in some small way within you eternally. It is a component of an advanced form of necromancy, to do this, and I have seen it done both successfully and unsuccessfully. In either case, the one consumed exists within the one who consumed, but only in the scraps of them that are left behind.
[Cool story!!!!!!!!]
I won't credit that as any acceptable solution. I only wonder if it wasn't meant to be a solution, one we were unable to take.
