[ When Sayo explains the situation, Mitsutada's expression changes - first surprise, then settling down to uncertainty then some form of wince mixed with empathy that set him rather on edge.
Younger Sayo's face said a lot more than that of Nameless. A lot of things that were no doubt terrible. ]
... they don't say much other than accusations, do they?
[ Singular eye flitting from Sayo to the two apparitions. He steps forward ever so slightly, as if to shield the tantou with his own presence. ]
[It's why Sayo just gave up on talking to his younger self. If he can't get any information from him, he'll go somewhere else. Preferably somewhere else other than here.
He glance around Mitsutada's body to see Nameless, before he gives an affirmative sound.]
Let's run.
[Run, retreat, anything. They can find the exit along the way.]
[ And running it is. Mitsutada might not have enough eyes to keep on both the road ahead and the two ghosts following them, but he has enough hearing ability to distinguish their footsteps from his own.
Strange, how they can interact with the environment, but not them.
It takes a while, four pairs of feet echoing throughout the long corridor - but at last, a door comes into view - slammed open to reveal a stairway towards what is presumably the first floor. He lets Sayo go up first before ascending himself. Just as expected, the apparitions stop at the threshold and fade away as they climb.
Mitsutada doesn't speak until they make it to the main lobby. His expression is pinched and worried, distinctively different from his usual cheer. ]
[After they finally made it to the main lobby, Sayo didn't answer at first. He just looked over his shoulder at the direction where they came from. He already knew the apparitions didn't follow them this far - he didn't feel the stares or his own voice calling out to him - but he still looked.
And then, he finally answer.]
... I'm alright. [Maybe.] But I don't like it.
[Sayo doesn't care if others saw his younger self. But he's more worried about what it means for others, such as his brothers or his master.]
Mitsutada could say the same for himself, to be honest. It might sound too easy to write the ghosts off as some sort of diversion NPC or other, but the fact that they kept saying ominous things just added to the creepiness of it all. ]
... yeah. Wonder why they'd pop up all of a sudden, huh?
[ He runs a hand through his hair to try and appear more relaxed, but it doesn't exactly work.
How did they know about his Oda self? The part of him that he's always denied? ]
This is a hospital, it's not for dying in. Unless... someone got murdered here?
[ Mitsutada taps his chin, thinking back to how he didn't even sense his younger self approach at all. All tsukumogami had some level of spiritual pressure to them. ]
That's quite possible, yes.
[ If the murder was referring to player characters getting KO'd by the creeper nurses, it isn't too far off a stretch. If not, then it probably was a 'plot clue'. ]
Seems like it. The nurses tend to assault us, though. So they're probably not important.

I think we should go.

Date: 2015-08-17 06:36 am (UTC)[It's pretty effective, since as swords, they can't exactly deny the deaths they personally caused.]
Can someone get murdered here?
[Sayo never try reaching that point. Being defeated by virtual enemies instead of real, live ones doesn't make him happy.]
Unless... it happened to those people like the nurses and doctors here? [The NPCs.]

Have you seen anyone that might look like they're... in charge?
