[Because, hm. This may or may not get depressing. Veronica will lead Phoenix to her cabin. Everything is... Well. It's eerily dark inside when she unlocks the door. She makes no move to turn on the lights, but the problem seems to resolve itself once they're inside. Phoenix blinks, and instead of anything even remotely resembling the interior of a cabin, he finds himself in a high school lobby. Veronica pauses once they're there, and glances back at him.]
You only want to see the people from the house, right?
[Mumbling. She will start to move towards a hallway filled with lockers and classroom doors. Phoenix won't have to follow her too far, because she stops in front of a door that had a piece of paper taped to it. It reads 3.]
Then this is our first stop. There are, um, almost fifty of them. If nobody besides Magnus is missing, she should be here.
[I'm sorry to inform you, Sipp, that the NPCs are in the classroom as well. Once Veronica pushes the door open, Phoenix will spot 46 sleeping faces inside. Some of them will be familiar. Duplicates. People he has seen before. The majority will not. All of them are asleep on school desks. Everyone has a comfy little pillow to rest their heads and arms on, and a cozy blanket is placed over their shoulders. It looks like they're all wearing the same outfit the campers woke up in on the bus, with their own bunny eared scrunchies.]
[ it's so eerie, being in the place he envisioned --- nothing is blurred, anymore. they're all real faces, real people, some familiar --- he sees another akira, people from akira's world, another taako, chuuya, dahlia --- and -- ]
[ maya. ]
[ and everything stops. he swallows, thickly. ]
I can --- can I touch them? They won't wake up, will they?
[Veronica is a good girl and will stay by the door, looking at the hallway to give him a modicum of privacy. Though, she does glance back at him when he asks.]
... They won't. We tried. [And she sounds apologetic about that.] So... Go ahead.

If not, it's fine. Just, you know.
[ he wants to see his dead gay son. also ken. also others. ]

Veronica pauses, and then she slowly nods.]
No. No, it's not too crazy. I have to stick with you... But I don't mind taking you to your friends. Is that okay?
no subject
[ so yeah, that's okay. ]
[ catch him doing soft dad things like tucking akechi in while he's not awake to get angery about it ]

Okay... Then grab Bluekie and follow me.

Someone from Magnus's game, too. If she's there.
