Looks like other people are having the same problems with this marking too.

[He pauses, considering this, and then he shrugs with a smile.]

Well, does anyone have any theories as to why they're suddenly glowing and acting oddly?

[ooc: Come bother him. Matthew definitely won't be used to not being able to sneak by with a lie.]

... So it's not just me.

[redcloakedthief]

That's...really interesting, actually.

[whowasphones]

Wh-Why's that? Do you know something about this?

[redcloakedthief]

Yes.

[...Damn it.]

Let me guess. You've touched the coral?

[whowasphones]

What...? Yeah, why? You think it has something to do with the glowing?

[redcloakedthief]

It seems like it.

Who knows how dangerous touching it could be? Maybe we're all infected now.

[He looks pretty amused, in contrast to his words.]

[whowasphones]

Infected!? What do you mean "infected"!?

[redcloakedthief]

Oh, I don't know. With some sort of disease, maybe? Isn't that what "being infected" normally means?

Who knows what sort of diseases might lurk in this underwater place?

[whowasphones]

I know what it means.

... Do you think it's something they implanted?

[redcloakedthief]

[...Let's ignore the major icon fail up there and pretend he's smiling. orz

He chuckles.]

Could be. None of us were really awake when we ended up with these marks, were we?

[whowasphones]

[Aww, no prob! :D]

That's right...! Everyone just woke up here, and no one really has any memory of the specifics.

And there were all those people there... just staring. That one lady asked to see the mark--

[whowasphones]

[LIGHTBULB!]

... You think she did it!?

[redcloakedthief]

It could be. She does seem to be the only one with any idea of what is going on, so I'm sure it would be worth it to speak with her again.

[whowasphones]

But I haven't seen her since then. Don't tell me she's hiding somewhere.

[redcloakedthief]

If she is, we just have to find her, right? After all, we're stuck in a giant bubble under the ocean; she has to be around here somewhere.

[whowasphones]

Yeah, I guess it's not like she can flee the country. I bet the people here have got to have some information on her.

Which reminds me, did you find out anything back then?
