week 1, tuesday, post-meeting

[coastal]

[we're doing this

we're at the bonfire

lili has gained 1 braincell and is wearing a poncho in the pouring rain

did she gather dick and akira both here maybe she did]

I hope the two of you like 45 because I might never speak to her again.

[gUESS A WHO'S FUCKING! BITTER! BITCH!]

[unpredicktable]

[ the rain is cleansing, first of all. dick is at zero brain cells. he is literally so tired. ]

... That's not a solution, Lili.

[ i mean. he gets it, mood, but. ]

CAN'T BELIEVE ZIA BEAT ME

[survivaltricks]

[Akira is wearing a bunny onesie]

[in the rain]

[you're welcome]

. . . I like 45. . .

[:( despite last week's paranoia]

[coastal]

[she's staring]

You use your onesie for this.....

[but regardless she's crossing her arms]

What she did and more importantly how she said it was stupid and reckless.

So what now? Neither of you wanted to say anything and I didn't either - at least most people have settled on waiting for more information, but you never know what punkass bitch won't.

[who taught her this word. why does she keep using it.]

[unpredicktable]

[ dick knew this would happen because they are roommates ]

Now that the information is out there, we can't take it back. If someone was on the fence about whether they wanted to play along... well, they might not be anymore. We should get ready for that.

week 2, friday

[unpredicktable]

[ anyway after some Time please assume lili and dick dragged akira away. "dick wasn't even in the top level" HE WILL BE FOR EYE GUNK I NEED TO READ THINGS. oh lili hasn't seen him on thursday so fun fact dick has five scratches on his face, it's cool. i am placing this in the mess hall because this is their new circle ]

Before you tell us what happened [ and akira will! he has no choice? ], there's something I need both of you to know. Everyone from our previous games is here. They're asleep, somewhere we can't access but the directors can.

[ that's it! isn't that fun. ]

[coastal]

[the fucking mess hall, this is so much. and lili is just going to bristle at that.]

..... asleep, huh. [and she points at dick] You also need to tell me what happened, completely. Yasusada left things out.

[because poms are wont to do that.

she drops two more postcards on the table - a bit damp, flecked with blood.]

We'll cover these once you two are done.

[info pow wow. i hope they have marshmallows.]

[survivaltricks]

[thank god for Dick's first aid skills, by now Akira has had his eye looked at PROPERLY though he is still wearing anime eye bandages. also depth perception being fucked up is weird, he is squinting at Lili's postcards a little too hard thanks to his new lack of it]

[. . . at any rate at Dick's news he just sort of. slumps, his hand pressed against his face as he rubs the temple on the side of same that is opposite the injured eye]

Great. That's. . . great.

I didn't get the chance to talk to Dick, Sanji or Yasusada about it before Chuuya, Dazai and I broke into the arts and crafts cabin, so-- [a nod at Dick] Go into as much detail as you think you can.

[a pause]

. . . Dick can go first.

[THEN HE WILL SHARE]

[unpredicktable]

[ he nods, lightly, and is only going along with it to give akira a bit of a break to adjust to his injuries, honestly. his eyes linger on the postcards. he hates that they remind him of polly. ]

... We broke into Heart's cabin. It changed into some of their memories, except instead of people from their life, it was from ours. We got injured, but PH could... see what we were doing the whole time. They managed to get us out before it got any worse. Some of it lingered [ he gestures. at his face ] but they weren't as bad as they were in the... wherever we ended up.

[ ... ]

Most of the information we got was personal, about PH. I'd rather not go into it. But we also found their notes, from when they first arrived in this camp. That's where I got the information about everyone being asleep. We were, too, until the game started. I made sure to confirm what I read with them before sharing, just in case... they'd meant something else.

week three, monday

[survivaltricks]

[on Monday afternoon Akira is calling an emergency Dick and Lili meeting in the mess hall. SNACKS INCLUDED]

You can't ask me how I know this-- it involves sharing something that might get someone's arm beaten by bats-- but I know what happens when one team wins the game.

[I MEAN. . .]

. . . ah, I mean, we all know that technically, but I mean I know what happens to the people who lose.

[coastal]

[ . . . . . yea okay. she's just going to look exhausted as she eats some pocky.]

Dick already knows this - but a Black Shadows found me after trial. I got some updates on what prizes went out. I still need to learn what they all got this week.

But you go first.

[a beat]

And you should tell me what I am and am not allowed to say by tomorrow.

[their announcement duties....]

[unpredicktable]

[ make that a two fer combo for looking exhausted before he grabs a pocky for himself, snacking on it ]

I don't have anything new to report, so you guys go ahead.

[ he will just be here, being exhausted at everything ]

[survivaltricks]

[it's fine Akira also looks exhausted. even though he also looks a bit. . . well, excited isn't the right word, but. hopeful?]

I wonder if it's the same Black Shadows I spoke to on Sunday?

[that part is to Lili, but anyway. now for the next part]

Dick said on Friday that everyone from our previous games is here, right? Being held in a place we can't reach but the directors can. A place where they're sleeping.

If a team were to win-- let's say, Heart's team-- then things would play out like we're told. Some would get to leave, and some would have to stay behind.

But those who stay behind wouldn't be dead. They'd still be asleep, and presumably they'd still be held wherever they're being held right now.

[he hopes both Lili and Dick are seeing where he's going with this]

week 2, IT'S STILL FUCKING MONDAY

[coastal]

[for some reason, dick and akira are conveniently the only two people in chipmunk cabin

but lili is knocking on their door with a huff]

Let me in!

[THERE IS NO POLITENESS HERE]

[survivaltricks]

[SLIDES IN BEFORE ZIA]

[somehow Akira gets to the door first to give Lili a ???!?!?! look]

What--?

[unpredicktable]

[ that's fine dick was apparently going over his scribbled notes that he definitely has even if i don't while sitting on his bunk, so he just. looks up at them ]

What happened?

[coastal]

[she's just going to get out of the rain as she sighs]

PH said that if the team loses - that's it. Those people will be lost and there's no way to save them. Blah blah, something about only one ending where only one team gets to win, nothing I believe.

[she pulls out a box of pocky from her coat and offers it out to akira]

You tried but it's nothing that I can repeat in good confidence.

week 4, friday

[coastal]

[sometime later

lili is going to be barging her way into chipmunk cabin. her eyes look like they're still quite red, because it seems like she's done her fair sharing of crying. but more than that, she's done a wardrobe change into a different dress.

because she'll pull the neckline of it down slightly so that it reveals a bandage across her sternum before letting go of it again.]

I woke up bleeding. I'm - feeling someone's emotions that aren't mine. And by gods, they better understand that this fury I'm feeling might very well be for them.

Yin Yu used his power on me, so I'm going to figure out who it is tomorrow by cutting my face so we don't waste time.

[THEY TOOK HER EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TWINK

AND NOW LILI IS NEVER GOING TO BE CALM AGAIN]

[survivaltricks]

[JESUS FUCKING CHRIST]

Holy shit, Lili--?!

[I mean there's a lot to react to here but her being so metal right out of the gate is. haha?? hahahahahaha???]

[unpredicktable]

[ YEAH WHAT AKIRA SAID. dick looks shocked for a second before he takes out a postcard for them? he's also got his cute purple tablet with bunny and heart stickers but he's not using it yet, just showing them:

"Hello, my old roommate! Yin Yu and Asch are receiving important information, so ask them about it. They may need help figuring it out. Maybe"

the postcard itself is soggy and stained in red, so that's fun and cool. anyway it's just important that they know not only did they kill yin yu but they killed him before they could get info thanks i hate it ]

[coastal]

[she scowls.]

I'm going to ask Asch.

[SHE'S STILL GOT ONE PERSON THAT SHE CAN BOTHER, AT LEAST. she'll bring out her own two matching soggy postcards:

We got to [this section is smudged] We should get rewards for this week's task Monday. They should be more useful than last time.

I will try to send you another message besides these letters soon. Keep an eye out for it while I try to figure it out. Are you and Kara-bou]

I woke up sore, bleeding, and overcome with grief and denial. He had the power to connect two people together so they... share everything. Feelings, injuries, and presumably, if they die, I die.

[so that's. fun. isn't it.]

He was on Winter Wizard. Princess Medea. Zenitsu was on Black Shadows, Poltergeist, he could turn invisible.

[and she's just. radiating anger. you don't need emotionshare to notice how tense she is. so that's cool. that's fun.]

w4 friday but LATER

[unpredicktable]

[ anyway uh he found them somehow very late at night and: ]

Yasusada killed Yin Yu. He has the wound and the emotions. He told me because he knew it would come out tomorrow. He obviously wouldn't... or couldn't? Admit to killing anyone, but I checked.

[ hi guys this would be more dramatic w/o a tablet ]

[coastal]

[THE FUCKING DRAMA

lili is just going to pause at that, looking like the air has been knocked out of her lungs. when she speaks, it's as if she's operating on autopilot, like her emotions are struggling to keep up with the pace of her mind.]

.... I'm going to get it out of the way - if he knew that it's coming, then let it come. There are enough people already expecting me to act that it'd be more confusing if I didn't.

[ . . . ]

Why... would he...

[this is

overwhelming even for her.]

[survivaltricks]

[. . .]

[Akira. . . doesn't really have anything to say, although his features twist unhappily as Dick delivers the news. but he has his eye focused on Lili, and he can see the conflict washing over her expression even if she doesn't voice it]

[. . .]

[he reaches for her hand, if she would let him]

[unpredicktable]

[ dick shakes his head, typing still, face set in stone, almost ]

If I'd had to guess, I would've thought revenge, but he's desperate to find Sanji's killer. I believe him when he says he wants that more than anything. Whatever his reason, we have to be careful. He's volatile, and I've seen him do insane things when grieving someone he knew wasn't real. If we corner him in the wrong way, it's possible he might attack. He's already decided on killing Sanji's killer himself we find them.
