[ He's tired from all the walking he did today, but he joined in with no fuss at least. ]

I can promise that much. As long as it isn't an immediate danger to us all, I guess.

[ So like, not a bomb. He really hopes it's nothing like a bomb. ]

[biyishuangfei]

Okay, like I said I don't know what it means, but...

[ Huaisang will then suddenly check every corner of the room, as if looking for something, before re-opening his door just a little bit of a crack, and then closing it shut.

The Sect Leader then took a piece of paper out of his sleeve. Holding it up, it was immediately apparent what it was:

A list of everyone captive here in alphabetical order.

It's not handwritten, but looked pretty...you know pretty in the way you'd find on fancy menu courses during the welcome banquet. Additionally, there were only a few names not crossed off:

Adora
Edelgard von Hresvelg
Lucifer
Tenn Kujo
Raven
Wei Wuxian ]

It's not like I don't trust the others, but...they could jump to conclusions. So, I just wanted to make everyone in here aware of this. A-and don't tell anyone else! I mean it!

Before I add anything else, does anyone have guesses what this list might mean, though?

[mathodical]

[ the first, biggest thing that william observes is that none of their names are on there except wei wuxian's which--

hm. ]

... Did Hamelin give this to you, or did it happen to be just lying around? That would affect what I think this list is.

[ deets. he needs deets!! ]

[biyishuangfei]

...Oh, right. It was on top of one of Hamelin's books on his bookshelf....

[ ...pause... ]

I might have snuck into his place when he wasn't there, and also I think one of his creatures saw me...but! It didn't seem to be out in the open, since it was in his room.

[mathodical]

[ limon says that the paper is creased, which means that it was hurriedly shoved into a book or something so you know what that's what moriarty is going to going to bring up-- ]

I usually would not advocate stealing, but given that this wasn't something that should have been seen by us--

[ pause for dramatic effect ]

My theory is whether they have been singled out for... other purposes that we may not be aware of.

[ ROLE LIST ROLE LIST ]

[biyishuangfei]

... That's entirely possible.

[ Beat.

And after hearing his intentions to go with Wei Wuxian... ]

...there are rats in there, it looks like. So, keep an eye out for them, even just in general. They seem to be kind of like lookouts, and they understand what people are saying, I think.

[libirdian]

[ For somebirdie whose immediate thought was hitlist, Nageki looks a little bewildered at all that. ]

What do you mean by that?

[goldencave]

... Right.

[ He frowns at seeing a certain name on there... Not too sure what to think, seeing that person on that list...

Another person on that list was present here, so Norton looks over at WWX. ]

Wei, right? Did Hamelin or someone else try to contact you at some point? Someone who isn't one of our fellow captives?

[demonicwei]

As far as I remember, no one has. I haven't been given any special role to play in all of this.

[goldencave]

Uh huh... And you're telling me the truth?

[mathodical]

.....

[ sharpened expression, there's something that he can latch onto now ]

Did that happen to someone else on the list, Norton? Being contacted by Hamelin separately?

[goldencave]

[ Norton's expression remains as cold and distant as ever. ]

Not that I know of, but if they had some kind of special purpose... Then that would be a logical conclusion, right?

[demonicwei]

[ Oh look, his name is there. ]

While I can guess a few reasons someone would be interested in me, I can't really tell if it would be the same for the others.

[ His newer hermit lifestyle isn't doing him any favors here. ]

[biyishuangfei]

...It really is hard to tell.

[ Though he was sure he couldn't just keep it to himself because there was really no benefit to it, but telling everyone was out of the question as far as he was concerned ]

But since he's the one who wrote it, I do feel like there is definitely interest from his side of things. Not that I think it's anything good.

[demonicwei]

If he's interested in me, then I suppose I should hurry up and pay him a visit. I already was planning on talking to him about his flute.

[ This will just be an added incentive ]

[mathodical]

[ ah, dangerous... ]

... If you're going to talk to him about his flute, could I come along with you?

[demonicwei]

[ There is a pause. ]

It actually would be a better idea having you there. It may be suspicious if I show up alone soon after his list going missing.

[biyishuangfei]

...Speaking of his flute, I think he really does seem to have it on him at all times? It was nowhere in the room, as to be expected, but I wanted to doublecheck for...reasons.

[ He'll glance at Norton before directing his gaze back at the other three. ]

One more thing of note is that he seemed to usually have some kind of small square box in his drawers. It wasn't there at the moment, but everyone should be on the lookout for it...it might contain something important?

That's about all I was able to find, though there might be something else to his room. I just couldn't stay in there too long to figure out what it was.

[libirdian]

Without context? ...I really hope that's not meant to be a hitlist.

[ Somebirdie had to say it. ]

[demonicwei]

I can't see a kid like Adora being on a hit list. She seems rather earnest with trying to get to the bottom of things.

[ Not dangerous or anything. ]

Tenn also seems like a good kid from what we get from his profile.

[libirdian]

I can't see why we were brought here in the first place, but you have a point.

[biyishuangfei]

It better not be!

[ Or he'll have a fit. And then Hamelin won't see it comin' ]

[libirdian]

Yes, I'd hope not.

[demonicwei]

[ the fit is because of the two kids on that list, right? and the others not present. wee woo totally deserves to be on a hit list. ]

[biyishuangfei]

[ no ]
