week 5, tuesday.

[unfriendliest]

[ well i guess after their chat with dima? kara wants to talk to lili on their own a bit. ]

My scrunchie changed colors yesterday - from pink to gold. No one else seemed to notice, though. Has yours changed, too?

[coastal]

[ . . . . . . hold on.]

Pink? Why was it pink?

Now it's you, Magnus, and Tonbokiri that have reported this to me.

[unfriendliest]

...Yours wasn't pink before? What color was it?

[ what the fuck is going on ]

[coastal]

Purple, since we arrived.

[but she's going to narrow her eyes - ]

And I only noticed my colors change after I spoke to Purple Heart earlier.

I think we're heading in the right direction. There are three team-changing items now that can be used to form us into one team.

[unfriendliest]

- No, no, it was just the ears. It's still blue, but the ears are gold now. Purple didn't know what it meant, but they said it was a good thing. But it still doesn't tell us much.

[coastal]

[she nods.]

It doesn't, but I think we might be needing to change all the teams to... something gold?

It might be that we have to talk to the directors in order to get the color to change...?

[unfriendliest]

I talked to Winter before Purple, and it didn't change anything.

Do you think something will happen if we all have them change? But there's no real way of tracking it, and we still have to account for the dead.

[coastal]

Loudly asking during breakfast?

[where they apparently

get everything else done?]

[unfriendliest]

[ he sighs. ]

That relies on everyone being willing to answer, and that they're not lying, Lili.

[coastal]

I feel like there isn't reason to lie about this.... People coming up to me and asking me - so they're clearly not being all that subtle!

[PEOPLE JUST SHOVING THEIR SCRUNCHIE'D ARMS OUT AT LILI TODAY]

[unfriendliest]

And still no one's had an idea of what to do with it?

[coastal]

None. So if they don't have any idea, and I don't have any idea...

[ . . . ]

I keep wondering if it's the hint we're meant to find from Tsurumaru.

[unfriendliest]

The gold, or what we're supposed to do?

[ tsuru give better clues challenge ]

[coastal]

Both.

[she tilts her head]

Since the scrunchies denote teams - and gold is normally Tsurumaru's color along with white, right? And your scrunchie still looks white to me...

[she frowns.]

Anyway - Akira, Magnus, and Taako all now hold the team-changing items that we might need. The guess is that we need to get the directors themselves to join a new team, and they will in turn be able to take all of us who belonged to their teams onto the winning team.

Winner takes all, and then we all win.

[unfriendliest]

That was Dick's theory, too. But will those items work with the director? And what new team would they join - Jadericho's?

[coastal]

In theory, it should work. PH is only thinking that there's no way to guarantee that means the sleeping people will be awake... so we might need to still look for last pieces of the plan.

[but she sighs.]

I don't know about Jadericho - but Taako suggested that Jadericho might be someone's power, so maybe not.

[unfriendliest]

I haven't heard any theories about that yet... or items that might help them.

...A power, though? How does he figure that?

[coastal]

Me neither... So I think that we're not yet at the end, even if we're approaching it.

[they sure are

running toward Something.]

But I'm not sure... it's an interesting theory though. We don't know much about Jadericho themselves.

[unfriendliest]

We'll find something. We have to.

But even if Taako is right, what does that mean? What is that power meant to accomplish? And if we can't get their help... how are we supposed to create another team?

[coastal]

I will say plainly that I have no idea.

[he has

so many fucking good questions

and she has none answers]

We still need more information before we can act decisively - but at least things are falling into place.
