[coordination]

Anyway, my point is not to dismiss any weird dreams if any of you are having them!

[coordination]

And, I'm okay. I feel fucking weird from whatever this is! But I'm not being an idiot about it because I want to get the hell out of here!

[coordination]

There were a lot of skulls around the town, weren't there? Wolven skulls?

They're here, too. And something's wrong with them. They're ... cursed, making some of the others freak the hell out if they stare at them for too long.

[coordination]

One interesting thing we did discover, is that breaking a bunch of them seems to weaken the fog outside the castle.

[coordination]

But be wary. Smashing these things cause what we know to be rift poisoning.

[coordination]

Connections to rifts, clearing the mists ... we seem to have found a key to this whole situation.

So I hope that means reconnecting with the lot of you soon.

[coordination]

[ He still sounds Feverish. But there's a bonus! He also sounds quite flustered now. ]

Don't let any one person break too many of those skulls at once.

[coordination]

Ereshkigal ended up doing that despite our concerns and lost her fucking mind! She started hallucinating and thought she was in love with me!

[coordination]

[ ... ]

Not that one needs to hallucinate in order to acknowledge how much of a great and desirable person I am!

[coordination]

She's better now.

But keep that in mind if you're over there planning to do the same!

[coordination]

And if you so much as smile at me about this once we're out of here, you're going to regret it!

[coordination]

There's got to be a way to break as many of those skulls as we can with as little side-effects as possible.

[coordination]

We'll figure it out.

And I know you will, too.

[coordination]

I've been told that the "hex" that I have is a fever.

[coordination]

This is a fever!? How in the hell did this happen!? I shouldn't get something like this!

I feel as bad as I did when we fell through the Earth's atmosphere for heaven's sake! This is miserable! I'm sweating, my head is pounding. I feel like I can't focus properly...!

[coordination]

[ And then, muttered SO low. ]

Was this really how Athrun felt back then, at the academy? And he still placed second in marksmanship ... amazing.

[coordination]

WAIT I DON'T WANT TO SEND THAT ONE.

[coordination]

FUCK!

[coordination]

THAT BETTER NOT HAVE GONE THROUGH!

[coordination]

AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, DON'T ASK!

[coordination]

I rescind my statement! This fever is nothing! You've got to be a weakling to let something like this wear you down!

[coordination]

It sounds like I wasn't the only one here who had a dream connected to this place.

We're gathering shortly to discuss that, as well as what others have found while searching the castle.

Maybe we'll finally get some leads on what the hell's going on.

[coordination]

I trust that you're making progress out there, regardless of if these messages are reaching you.

And I trust that you're okay.





You better be.

[coordination]

Well we figured it out!

I knew the whole "Chosen" thing was going to be something fucked up!

[coordination]

[ A deep breath through his nose. And now there's a dark urgency in Yzak's voice. It's a tone he's taken when speaking to Dearka in private before he addresses his team about something heavy and potentially so bad that it even unsettles him. Because when he does take it to the team later, he wants to do his best to ensure any fear or uncertainty doesn't seep through his words and rattle them. Raw emotion that he doesn't like exposing to many people but trusts Dearka implicitly with. ]

They're planning on killing us. Sacrificing us to their oh-so benevolent god.
