What do you think I'm looking for?! [He remains on the alert as he runs around! But eventually, instead of a door, he finds a fork in the road.
After a moment of uncertainty, Byakuya chooses the right-hand path. On which... the hallway winds on, without a sign of a door. But at least they'll end up leaving those vines behind.]
[How did Byakuya end up as the leader again? Oh yeah, because Shiori agreed to it.
Huff huff he'll keep following even as he almost bumps into the other when they hit the fork in the road. Then a path is chose and Shiori keeps following.] I think we're clear!
[He grunts as his arm is grabbed. It does look like more of the ground is crumbling.]
F-fine... Let's backtrack and try one of the other paths. There is no greater proof than trial and error! [With that, he spins around to walk back towards the mouth of this hall!]
[There is no way he's letting Byakuya fall. That'd be like murder... He bites back a sigh and follows, looking behind him on occasion to see how fast the floor was crumbling.]
We might run into the vines again. Unless that was just something this place used to chase us into a dead end.
It's hard to say for sure. In any case, it is still best to stay alert for them or any other surprises.
[The floor's crumbling seems to have stopped! And they return to the fork without any trouble.
Well, aside from one that only one of them can see. Byakuya comes to a stop and blinks as a memory phases into his consciousness. He sees a young girl, walking through a labyrinth while holding onto one arm, which has a bleeding wound. It's as if he's seeing her on the screen.
Byakuya practically seizes up, looking surprised as that desperate image remains fresh in his mind.]
[That's no excuse to grope one!! She will be able to get one jiggle in before he swats at her hand.]
Stop that. [His face is not a toy!! But he pauses as he considers her words.] ...I'm surprised that you even know that saying.
[He sighs.]
I don't care to refute your stance at the moment. Fine... If you can keep your hands off both me and the candy bowl, then I'll summarize every part that I've corrected.
[What would he do without you? Byakuya only glances at her as she takes up her new position and soon focuses his attention on the notes.]
Hm? Well, that one's just a note about the appearance of chocobos in this world. It seems it happened near the beginning of the year. Many of these comments seem to refer to different phenomena and occurrences that have happened here over the course of this year.
There's a veritable laundry lists of changes that have occurred in this world. From chocobos replacing horses to fruit having faces to the disappearances of the colors blue and green.
But many of them have been starting to be undone at this time. It looks like these notes contain information about polls that may be connected to the parts of this world that have been restored to normal.
The comparison isn't correct. [He says with a smirk, taking pride in that in phrase.]
From what I understand, they seem to be distributed at random. ...What sorts of things are you studying in the first place? [So far, he doesn't seem much potential in her.]

Shiori
[Byakuya's eyes widen in alarm as he beholds the creeping vines!]
Unless you know how to fight off vines, that's our only choice!
[With that, Byakuya starts to break off into a run!]
no subject
And his bookworm self is showing as he's not exactly the fastest runner.]
L-Look for a door!

no subject
Yes... for now. But let that serve as a lesson. Going forward, we have to be a lot more cautious if we're going to survive this.
no subject
I know... Should we stop talking or what? [The silence might help them pick things up.]
no subject
Only speak if it's absolutely urgent. We can't afford any more distractions.
[With that, he tries stepping forward some more... only for part of the floor ahead of them to suddenly crumble into nothingness.]
no subject
Not that way! [He looks behind him.] Let's go back before we fall!

Why did we stop?

no subject
Good boy! [ She says like he's a pet for her amusement. ] You can have your candy bowl back.
[ And she will keep her hands to herself for now. ]
no subject
Of course I can. [With that, he reclaims the candy bowl and places it to the side away from her.]
Now, where to begin...
no subject
You can start with the first comment you read and corrected?
[ She offers, being super helpful with his oh so difficult decision. ]
no subject
Hm? Well, that one's just a note about the appearance of chocobos in this world. It seems it happened near the beginning of the year. Many of these comments seem to refer to different phenomena and occurrences that have happened here over the course of this year.
no subject
What else did they change? Ever since Retrospec I've been having doubts about my own memories of this place.
no subject
There's a veritable laundry lists of changes that have occurred in this world. From chocobos replacing horses to fruit having faces to the disappearances of the colors blue and green.
But many of them have been starting to be undone at this time. It looks like these notes contain information about polls that may be connected to the parts of this world that have been restored to normal.
no subject
Veritable. Wow. Big word for such a big man. [ She says, pandering too much to his boastful nature. ]
And how can we participate in these polls? Because I would very much like to have colors back. It's seriously causing problems with my studies.
no subject
From what I understand, they seem to be distributed at random. ...What sorts of things are you studying in the first place? [So far, he doesn't seem much potential in her.]
no subject
Medicine. I'm studying to be a doctor.
no subject
Whoops, he was supposed to say that it isn't incorrect. He's down with that kind of comparison!!Byakuya scoffs in turn.]
You, a doctor? [He does think that woman are fully capable of becoming doctors. But this particular one?]
no subject
Yes, I [ the bustiest, gutsiest, hotpantsiest woman in Recolle ] am studying to be a doctor. And I'm doing really well so far.
