[Is it any surprise that Sayori is drawn to the lovely, fairytale-esque scenery of the grotto? Especially given the way her nerves tangle up in her gut when she thinks about Komaeda's words. She tries to bury them and stick to her usual straightforward approach to adventure, but it is reassuring to come upon a place that looks so fun! And safe!
Sayori can often be found climbing on the huge mushrooms and wedged into the little nooks like a regular Alice in Wonderland. Except Sayori is probably having more fun. Occasionally she also opens up her journal to jot down her inspired thoughts.
However, you may also catch her surreptitiously breaking off a small piece of one of the mushroom's caps to taste it. And subsequently frowning in deep betrayal at the horrible texture.
...And then taking another bite anyway.]
♥ 2 - be mine! ♥ (various)
[The mine is very creepy. This is when the nerves really start to sink in, the horrible feeling that she's out of her element and totally useless. She keeps those thoughts to herself, of course. Everyone has been so nice to her; she doesn't want them to feel like their efforts in helping her were for nothing. So, she covers it up with idle chatter.] Doesn't it feel like we'll run into a ghost or something? Abandoned places are always haunted! [And:] Hehe, it echoes a lot down here, doesn't it?
A (OTA) - [Or:] Hey, have we been here before?
[Oh, wait, that last part isn't idle chatter. These four paths do seem to be repeating, don't they? Sayori's eyebrows furrow as she turns to look behind her, as if the path they've already walked will reveal the answer.] ...it looks the same.
B (OTA) - [Or:] Hey, what's in here?
[As they wander into a storeroom, populated with a lot of...bottles? It makes her think of her poem! But these bottles probably aren't filled with happy thoughts.
She takes one down off the rack, regarding it with some curiosity. Without heeding any potential warning, she pops it open and sniffs the bottle--and recoils with sharp surprise.] Whoa! That's strong!
C (closed to Shinjiro) - [Or perhaps, once she's found her way to the quarry, a simple:] Whooooa.
[That's a big drill.
And...a big drop. As much as she wants to get closer to investigate the drill, it seems really dangerous. So she tries to be careful as she climbs around the quarry and pokes around the rocks.
Careful does not mean quiet, though, as hard as she tries. It might be hard to pick up on the sounds of footsteps that don't belong to Sayori or Shinjiro--at least if you're not used to keeping an eye out for danger.]
♥ 3 - a lovely lake! ♥ (OTA)
[The first time Sayori comes by the lake is in broad daylight, when it looks sparkling and inviting rather than creepy and mysterious. She stands by the shore, regarding it with a bit of a pout. Eventually, she speaks up, lamenting.] I didn't buy a swimsuit!
[Tragic.
Or, you may find her later, simply using the water to clean up--face, clothes, shield... They're all getting pretty gross. Whether she washes up well is another matter, but it's fine, probably.]
♥ 4 - wildcard! ♥ (OTA)
[Being that this is Sayori's first mission, she's doing all kinds of things in the hopes of not being a total failure of a Reclaimer. Back at camp, she's:
- Writing poetry. Obviously. - Making conversation! She may ask what you've found and how you're feeling. - Practicing her magic, mostly flexing with the various effects of Prestidigitation. The smell of flowers, the sound of crickets, the sight of a few dissipating sparks as if they've fallen from a firework. These and other such pleasant and relaxing sensory effects can be experienced by Sayori's bedroll and the general vicinity while she practises. She'll even take requests! If you've come into some filth, she can at least make your clothes look nicer. Or if you've experienced some greater misfortune, she will gladly give you a Healing Word. - Very rarely, simply staring into the distance contemplatively. Usually when she thinks nobody is paying her much mind.
