Did you all know what removal meant before today?

[ ... that's sort of a relief to hear, really. given their reactions, she'd thought the group might not have known fully what it meant, but... it's not like that's enough to be sure. ]
... How so? I mean... was it always meant to be an execution, or mean death in some way?

I think it would have been something like a death, but...
[ they hum softly, thinking. ]
We've said before that the Realm reacts to people. A lot of what we do influence it. And... we all thought that whatever happened today, was going to be something really bad. S-so...

So if Virid hadn't killed Pikachu like that [ francy the FUCK am i typing i hate rp ] then it might not have been so...
[ she
makes a slicing drop motion with her hand. ]
Brutal?

It wasn't just that.
[ they gesture at both of them. ]
Us, as a group. When we were all talking about what removal meant for whoever was voted for, we all thought it was going to be something really bad. People even said it would most likely be like a public execution.
[ and then it was a public execution. ]

[ her eyes go wide at that. ]
You mean we can change it? [ ... ] It... might be more difficult now that we've seen one, but could we? If we all tried to?

It's hard to say. Like the whole team thing. Most people don't really like that we have them, but that's not enough to change it to teams no longer exiting. So... I don't think it works if we're all very actively trying to shape it. If it was that simple, then it would be too easy for someone to take control over the Realm, right?
But we were enough to shape what removal meant, you just said so. Surely it's possible to shape it again, if we figure out how. If it's a subconscious thing, raising the suggestion might be enough to start influencing things...?

The teams thing isn't going to shape anything other than who gets to make a wish at the end, right?

If we figure out how, maybe. I just don't think if we're actively trying to do it that it'll work, since even the Realm needs safety measures. Since then what's stopping us from wishing hard enough to try to take complete control of it, right?
So it's a... we can try and see what works and doesn't work situation, I think.
[ a pause ]
I... think so. I'm, um, not going to lie. What happened with Virid most likely changed things a lot.

It's better than doing nothing though. Even if it only changes things a little, that could make the difference when we need it.
[ if it's a small hope, then she's got to cling to it. ]
...
Not for the better, I'm guessing. So the whole concept of a wish could be out the window entirely, and replaced with something worse?

Oh, you answered.
[ she absolutely brought the baking, perish. she's even making sure they take it. no is not an acceptable answer today. ]
First of all - are you okay? It looked like running into that barrier hurt.

Just everything surrounding and leading up to it might be... uh. Less forgiving?
[ they could eat it. it's mocha almond cake. it's goooood. ]
You think. [ ... well. at least they know not to run full pelt into the barrier. ]
Yesterday there was a lot of talk about disturbances and consequences... there were a couple of things I wanted to check, now it's not so -- [ she waves a hand ] -- manic.
Did we pass out because the Realm made us? And if the Realm made us pass out... why? Because it sensed someone was going to kill, or as a failsafe to try and stop it when it felt the disturbance? [ she's trying to figure out how much of this is being influenced by them, and how much by the Realm. As much as she can, even if it means having to ask some questions that don't have answers yet. ]
I'm not sure the timelines match up if that was the case, but... I'd like to know. If you're able to tell me.

[ good bnuuy. best cheerleader. ]
A maybe is better than a "no, never", at least.

I'm not even sure where to start. Or if I want to, right now.
