tactic | NONA.

[ FLABBERGHASTED. ]

Where exactly are you supposed to sleep?

In coffins, apparently!

[AAAAAAAAAA]

That's quite morbid. It doesn't suit you at all.

[ NOT CUTE LITTLE NONA!!!! ]

Yeah! You wouldn't associate me with coffins at all! [a beat] Then again, I'm not sure if it suits most people...

[SIGHS]

Well, I'll have to deal with it. It's better than no shelter, at least. [looks around] Sounded like you're not too fond with what you got assigned either?

[ He can think of a few people it would suit...

But oof, he gets reminded where he's staying. ]

I don't think the barn suits me either. If you think differently, please don't say.

[a little laugh]

I wasn't thinking that, I promise! [stares at him...] Hm... what kind of lodging would suit you...?

Not to sound unreasonable, but none of these buildings have a draw about them.

[ They are all so... rundown... and sad-looking... Actually, maybe they do share some similarities with him. ]

I-I know... I meant theoretically! Any kind of lodging. Not just those restricted to creepy cult sacrifice containment villages.

[ GIVES THIS SOME REAL THOUGHT. ]

The cabins, then. Just for the beds alone. Oh, or maybe the haunted house? But if it wasn't haunted.

Makes sense. I feel like those would be most people's first choice—although I guess some people like the church a lot.

Yes, but. The cursed Bible stories are rather unsettling.

The book does kind of seem like it's demonic or something, huh?

I've heard that it can make people speak in gibberish.

... What!?

Right after hearing angry voices in your head. Really, the people in that church should be careful.

[aaaa]

Great, even the church is haunted...

Put all thoughts of stealing that Bible out of your head, Nona.

[ AS IF SHE WAS GOING TO ]

[HELLO]

Excuse me, I'll have you know I am not one of the Bible thieves around here.

Doesn't that make you more likely? It almost seems as though everyone's trying to get a turn.

That makes it sound like either you've stolen it at least once or you're also going to.

Innocent little me?

[ Thinks about it. ]

Maybe.

... Which one is that a maybe for, mister...

It's more fun to leave you guessing.

Wha? Hey!

[ THE WAY HE WON'T ELABORATE AND JUST START WALKING OFF WHILE WAVING

i'll come back for you when i'm not suffocating under my inbox ]
