[Nazo > Team Spectrum] Don’t panic, Diyem’s prior communication skills hardly suggest that he’s the type to let us know if he’s going to be away for a while. [Nazo > Sourdough] Unless they’ve either grown up or grown bored in the last... half hour or so, they’re probably still harassing partygoers.

“But... What about me being... this? I don’t want to be... an embarrassment.” Celeste sighed. “You won’t be. Just give it a shot, okay?”

Celeste looked at Soul, a harrowed expression on his face. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Soul slunk further away, but remained silent. “Stop... Don’t keep doing this to me. Say something!” “S-Sorry.” “Why? Were you mad because I didn’t treat your rock like the others did? Scared because of Aegis...

Celeste reentered the room. “Chip says to bring it with-” Wait, was it- Were they talking? “What did you do? What was I doing wrong that you fixed in a few minutes?” Soul slunk away, ashamed.

“He’s hugged people before and I think they’re all fine. He normally just hugs people with his head and one foreleg.”

“Nip and Cabot. Cabot just got sent here because he didn’t really pick a room on time. Celeste has really mixed feelings about him. He likes Nip, though. They chose to room together. He worries about Nip a lot, though. He wants to give Nip a hug and to tell Nip that everything will be okay, but...

“I’ll have to, I guess...” This didn’t change the fact that Soul really, really didn’t want to. “Though really, he has two other roommates here, He doesn’t really come here for private moments.”

“I don’t feel grown up... I don’t really feel like a baby, either, though... I... No matter what, I still only have a few days of life experience... I don’t remember what I was before the stone, that wasn’t really me. I’ve spend my few days staying in this room as much as possible. I’ve got an...

“Neither of us have neurons. We’re just... shade, moulded into somebody else’s identity. Except that I’m moulded into nobody. I’m a blank slate. The only “memories” I have are of the past few days, and of being at the bottom of a bag for a month.” Soul hesitated. “I’m lost. I want to have...

“Soul. That’s my name, then.” Soul felt that was decidedly unsatisfying. Picking a name didn’t give Soul an identity. “I still don’t really have an identity. Soul is just a name for... nothing. I am blank. Empty. I guess I have to fix that myself...” Soul let out an irritated puffing sound at...

The shadowy gel quivered and condensed down a little. “Celeste doesn’t know anyone... like this. I am nobody. I haven’t even chosen a name. It’s like I’m a soul without an identity attached to it.”

“I don’t know... What if I do something wrong and I can’t fix it? What if there’s something I can’t take back and I mess it up? It’s better to be careful. Not to break anything. It’s easier this way...” “Okay, why are you making those noises?”

“I can talk. I don’t want him to know, though. He killed one of us, and it makes him feel bad when he’s reminded of our tamedness. I don’t want to hurt him. I’d have to feel it too, then. I don’t know how to ignore the link like he does.” “How do you talk, either? You’re made of the same stuff...

“yes...”

The blob wriggled and recoiled from Mia’s scythe. “It’s alive... in some capacity, anyways.” He pulled his badge from his bag. “I’ll be back... in a bit. You’re free to stay, if you want.”

Celeste showed Dave to the place he, Nip and Cabot were staying. His ‘shade’ was on the floor. “Here we are. What were you wanting to do?”

Celeste nodded. “I’ll show you the way.”

“It’s not here, inert hoo tends not much of the partying type, you know? Stays in the room.“ “Take me to dinner? There’s plenty of food right here.”

“Like, mental... stuff? Chip’s theory was that I didn’t let it poke around in my brain enough to form an identity of it’s own.”

Celeste nodded. “I do. I have one blade on my head, and another for a tail. I mostly use the head one, myself. The tail one is only helpful if someone gets behind me. Celeste looked away. “It’s complicated. Apparently, it didn’t get enough stimulation, and now it’s just an inert blob.” Celeste...
