Chapter 7: "I Don't Know" (Part 1) Footsteps

Fic Summary: A strange case takes Reigen and Serizawa to a small (intimately so, a detail Reigen might be hesitant to comment on) village North in the mountains, where they quickly discover things are far stranger than they both realized. Not only that, but they might be more than just a little out of their depths.

Nature, the past, it all has a way of being heard - even to those reluctant to listen.

Jan 10 Mirage’s CAH game

A second round is going currently, but someone else will have to log it, for I shan’t be there.

Mirage won the first round. Prowl may not have won the card game, but he made the most important joke of the night.

[10:35:32 PM] <Prowl> ((suggestion: throw in some of the normal card sets too, because having nothing but transformers cards to play against transformers cards usually isn't as fun)) [10:35:48 PM] <altusxdelusoris> ok! [10:36:35 PM] Soundwave has joined the game. [10:38:01 PM] Starscream has joined the game.

[10:56:37 PM] <Megatron> *grins at Prowl* [10:57:00 PM] <Soundwave> *Soundwave sits in the middle, because he's not going to sit near a Bumblebee OR a Megatron.* [10:57:02 PM] <Starscream> *assuming Starscream is even sitting anywhere close to Megatron* [10:57:02 PM] <Bee> (( if someone actually has the bumblebee card, you automatically win )) [10:57:26 PM] <Bee> [just...sitting awkwardly, folding his cards a bit] [10:57:49 PM] Megatron wins the round.

[11:01:10 PM] Megatron wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [11:01:18 PM] Play 3 cards, in the order you wish them to be judged. [11:01:19 PM] <Starscream> Is there a difference?

[11:02:23 PM] <Twinkout> Shit [11:02:40 PM] <Prowl> If you manage to get seventeen syllables but not in a five-seven-five pattern, you'll receive partial credit. [11:02:48 PM] Starscream was skipped this round for being idle for too long. [11:02:48 PM] Megatron was skipped this round for being idle for too long. [11:03:02 PM] <Bee> Ok that's slightly more fair. [11:03:16 PM] <Megatron> Poetry takes more time than that. [11:03:19 PM] Bee wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds.

[11:09:37 PM] <Prowl> Are you suggesting that Megatron possesses spiritual crustiness? [11:09:38 PM] <altusxdelusoris> *snorts* [11:09:49 PM] Soundwave wins the round. The next round will begin in 8 seconds. [11:09:53 PM] <Soundwave> *As for the earlier talk? He prefers the name Soundwave to Sarcasm, but it's no less fitting.* [11:09:58 PM] <Bee> ...You know what? That's exactly what I'm suggesting. [11:10:10 PM] <Soundwave> *Ugh. Tarn.* [11:10:52 PM] <Prowl> ((why did two of us go for jizz cards omg)) [11:11:06 PM] Bee wins the round.
