When did ya get this one?

The Dimitri letter I got on Wednesday.

I also got one on Tuesday.

Do you know what I miss the most about the other side? The joy of everyone's company. Seeing you all gathered together warms my heart.

But I would propose that you could make these parties more enjoyable by adding an activity of sorts. On this side, we intend to do something quite exciting and thrilling -- if I may offer a suggestion, the doors are exhilarating, aren't they?

There is the possibility that having an activity is distracting, as someone might be drawn to the more entertaining activity and ignore the rest, but I believe it will be gratifying all the same.

To your health,

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd

And this one today.

Dear Bradley,

I'm afraid those are my real thoughts. But you might find it helpful to discuss with some of the others. Maybe they will see my suggestions from another perspective.

Sincerely,

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd

Oh...! Those do sound really... weird, but I think Estelle's idea makes sense! O-or even to distract the staff, maybe, not just the host guy? They, um... can apparently hear everything we're saying, I think?

[battling]

[ Thinks about this for like 2 seconds and immediately hates it. ]

Gross. What's the best time for this shit? Can we try it on Saturday or is our contract about participating in trial? Remember?

[unbested]

Participating is part of the contract, yeah...

[battling]

If we're there, 's that enough?

[unbested]

Um... there and taking part in it, I guess... I don't know how well we'd be able to do anything else at the same time, if that's what you're talking about?

[battling]

[He looks very intently at Sebastian, like he's sizing him up.

Can he even survive one punch?]

[unbested]

...What??

[battling]

You, specifically, should stay outta fights.

[unbested]

Wha?? I wasn't going to get into any!

[battling]

These letters are basically sayin' make a fucking mess.

Anyway, d'ya think that waiting room is somewhere that guy's eyes ain't?

[unbested]

The... the fifty-three minutes place...?

[battling]

It's exactly the normal amount of time in there.

The other option's that endless hallway door. It ain't that dangerous, just real fucking annoying. Or one of those weird restaurants.

[unbested]

Um... I don't know if those places are actually outside of what they can hear or anything... but yeah, I guess maybe they wouldn't be too bad to try?

[battling]

They did suggest bein' in a door, or having a fight. Probably more interested in watching people be miserable.

[unbested]

Was the suggestion ALL of us being in a door, or just whoever's being a distraction? I'm not... I'm not sure from reading this...

[battling]

[ He taps this part of the letter.

"There is the possibility that having an activity is distracting, as someone might be drawn to the more entertaining activity and ignore the rest, but I believe it will be gratifying all the same." ]

[unbested]

Right... so the distraction thing, not all of us?

[battling]

Yeah. Keep those eyes on somethin' more interesting to him so we can talk easier.

[mustbepurged]

I'm not so sure... if the doors are meant to be a distracting kind of entertainment, I think he would be able to see what's happening in any of them.

[unbested]

Yeah, I'm not... sure if he's saying we should be having our meetings in the doors or some of us NOT in the meeting should go in the doors to be a distraction...?

[battling]

[ Just because he's been asked to do it, now means he really does not want to. ]

He says something about brutes being a distraction, yeah?

[mustbepurged]

I'm inclined to think it's the latter... maybe it would allow us to talk more openly about sensitive matters. Or maybe it's not just for us on this side...?
