So, did you get that viral video that's been going around?

Who: Ren, Ray, Chase, Song
What: A brainstorming session over Josiah's cryptic email--okay, so three out of four of them are cursed, but really, the odds aren't that bad, right?
When: August 26, mid-afternoon
Where: Ren'a apartment in Radiant Garden
Status: Ongoing

Fun fact: it was far more difficult than it seemed to open the lock on Ren's front door without any hands or other extremities. It had taken way more time than Ren would like to admit to butt the latch open, but at least the others would be able to get inside once they came over.

Now all there was to do was wait and ponder some more about Josiah's message. Ren had played it again before tackling the door, making note of any clues she might have missed last night. There still wasn't much she could decipher that hadn't already been brought up before, but maybe with four relatively fresh minds looking at it, they'd all have better luck today.

She shook her head. "I said he might have been killed, but we don't know that for sure. He was holding up pretty well, considering."

She looked down out of habit, as if she were trying to avoid their eyes. "Guys, normally I'm all for this tag-team shit, but I don't think that's the best idea this time. Calum's threatened to kill if someone interferes, so just trust me, okay?" She sighed.

"You remember Luxord. Cheryle, Clover, that whole mess. I can be a snake sometimes. I'm not proud of it, but hey. If I can use it to gain an advantage, then pride be damned, I will. You'd be surprised what I can do with that when I want to... And hey, if it comes to a fight and he kicks my ass, I'll haul tail out of there and to somewhere safe, to a healer if I have to. But I don't see that happening."

Ray hesitated. She didn't want to tell them about her most recent conversation with Calum just yet. She doubted they'd react well to that. "Trust me, guys. I can keep secrets. I can be sneaky. At the very least I can get information. I'll manage. If it comes down to me needing help, I'll ask, but just let me handle it for the time being, alright?"

Chase winced when Song slammed the book shut - she hadn't meant to say anything that would irk her. But she was nervous - scared that a wrong move on their part, however small, would cost Josiah his life. She couldn't lose one of her best friends, not like this.

"I trust you to do the right thing," she finally said to Ray after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence and shooting Song an apologetic look. "Just be careful, okay?"
