While I admire your creativity, I'm not sure there's anything I can do to help with that.

Aren't you three the ones that made it so we all stick together if we touch?

God, no. That was a bad idea and not something we authorized at all.

Then who did?

Um...well, you're not going to like this, but it may have been you guys?

[WELP]

So what, someone in our group is sabotaging all of this? I don't have my powers, I figured everyone else's was turned off too.

No, nothing like that. But it's as I said to Wei Wuxian earlier the other day. Your scrunchies are to protect you from anything that might filter through from your various locations you arrived from. However, they do not stop things potentially changing the environment which leaves you in a bit of a sticky situation.

So, just by being here, we're changing this place?

So it seems. Hopefully it won't last long and...[...wait.] Did you already try to make out with someone?

No!

[He actually didn't, honest.]

I kicked Dazai and got stuck to him. And then someone dumped water on us.

[...they laugh instead of being reassuring.]

You still are't getting along? I imagine the water didn't help.

it didn't, and we still don't get along, no. He's the worst.

[Says the guy actually sharing a bed with Dazai.]

What exactly is wrong with him? [gossip with them, chuuya.]

Everything. Have you 3ven talked to him before? He's the worst!

I have not, but I doubt that's a fault of his own. I'm sure we're quite intimidating to some.

Honestly? After having to deal with literal monsters, you're not that intimidating.

[Chuuya is scared of no person.]

Are you sure we aren't monsters ourselves? [given the tone though that seems unlikely.]

Of course I'm not sure, I just met you. I could be wrong. But I don't think a literal monster would be able to set up a summer camp like this. Or talk.

[Figurative monsters, on the other hand...well. He'll have to wait and see.]

Probably not. Then again I haven't met many monsters in my time so I could be wrong, too.

You could at least pretend that I'm a bit intimidating though. Other people seem to think we're a threat.

You can be a threat without being intimidating.

[Just. Pointing that out.]

And honestly, if you three are the 'bad guys' after all, that'd be the worst kind. Because you're smiling upfront and then you'd be stabbing us in the backs later. You don't have to be intimidating to destroy all of us.

That's true. Some of the most intimidating people can have the brightest smiles. [though...] Do you believe we want to actually destroy you all?

I'm probably not the right person to ask that of, I don't trust anybody.

[He's only like 60% sure the three NPCs mean no harm here.]

Even so I sort of figure it's only fair to hear everyone's opinion.

Yeah? What's the spread on opinions we've got so far?

About what you'd expect. People are angry or don't trust us or are very convinced someone's going to die very soon. It's kind of exhausting.
