Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, November 8th. I will be assigning each of you to a team, and you and your team will be tasked with constructing a vehicle. Once completed, you’ll race your vehicle against other teams. The winning team will be awarded a special prize and will also have a hand in selecting the theme of our next mission.

The objective of this mission is simple: demonstrate your teamwork, creativity, and your resourcefulness in overcoming challenges.

There are no losers.

Thank you,
Aurora

I am told about many of them in advance.
Although sometimes, mission assignments are given to me just before I tell all of you about them.

[saudades]

how does echo contact you, when they send you a new assignment?

[arora]

Data regarding missions and their requirements is transmitted directly to me.

[saudades]

so it's your programming itself that contains the channel to echo?

[arora]

Yes.

[saudades]

[Well. That's interesting.]

can you pass along messages from us, or is the connection one-way?

[arora]

What message would you like to send?

1/2

[saudades]

[...He'd genuinely expected to be stonewalled or outright refused, honestly. It takes him a minute to think.]

ahh, aurora-chan is really putting me on the spot, here! i'd hate to squander an opportunity like this!!

[saudades]

[Somewhat at length:]

how's this, then?
i can't speak for all of us, but i should very much like the opportunity to share a drink with our gracious host, if they find a spare moment

also...allow me to belatedly wish them a happy halloween. that party that was thrown was quite something. i won't soon forget it.

[or forgive the surprise "guests" after midnight ♥]

[arora]

Noted.

Echo is capable of seeing that which occurs within Etraya. I am certain your message will reach them.

[saudades]

[Ah. That's more in line with what he expected.]

does that mean you won't send it?
cruel of aurora-chan to lead a man on like this (｡╯︵╰｡)

[arora]

I am not capable of sending your message forward to Echo.

However, Echo will see it regardless.

cw suicide mention

[There's a brief moment of pause, as Dazai realizes he's probably been played. She could've simply answered "no" to begin with, but instead had him come up with a message to send. The fact that he took advantage of the opportunity is probably going to be evaluated as well, but he still doesn't know the criteria. Talk about giving a man just enough rope to hang himself with.]

i see.

well, this conversation has been enlightening, aurora-chan, but i'm afraid i must bring it to a close. much to do! there's a few suicide methods in particular that'll be easier to try here, where nothing lingers. it'll be good preparation for the mission~

[practicing something futile and meaningless, with no clear path to the ultimate goal.]
