[lionson]

Izumo, for one. I worry about that girl.

[retellers]

[ ahh. ]

She's lost a lot. Didn't know you guys were close, though?

[lionson]

She's from my world, and I've been keeping an eye on her. Also I'm like the third person important to her who has died.

[This game has not been kind to Izumo.]

[retellers]

Yeah. Bad luck. [ there's. not much else to say to that? rip to izumo, can't wait for alphi to die too. ] Who else?

[lionson]

Soo-won, I need to stay in contact with him. He's the information broker here.

And then Xie Lian too, I gotta get a message to him.

[retellers]

The information broker, huh? [ well. that's not entirely wrong. ] Planning to try and help out from this side, too?

[lionson]

As much as I can, without endangering the Realm too much.

...I owe it to them. I made a real mess of things, you know. So I gotta rectify that.

[retellers]

... So long as they don't share he info among themselves of who exactly was on which team, you guys should be able to mention how many from each team are dead that you know. [ wow! helpful? ]

[lionson]

Can we mention the kill count for each team without naming who did what?

Also, do executions count for that?

[retellers]

Executions don't. But... if you've got a good idea for the kill count, go ahead. I know you guys are still missing some.

[ no one will ever know who grandpa is ]

[lionson]

We'll keep them updated, then. If nothing else, we can tell them what teams have what, and they can do the rest from there.

[Hopefully. If anyone from Swan or Tiger would do a murder.]

You know, Soo-won told me something, before I went and did all that mess on Thursday.

[retellers]

... Yeah? What did he say?

[lionson]

That your mask was a uniform, and you'd take if off if asked.

[retellers]

[ dw my NOTIFS ]

... Oh. That it? [ he shrugs a shoulder ] Not gonna risk taking it off for everyone, but... Yeah. Not like it's part of my face or anything.

[lionson]

[YOUR NOTIFS]

That's fair, though I think nobody would've expected it to actually be part of your face.

[A pause.]

Can I see?

1/2

[retellers]

[ ... They nod? ]

Yeah. Alright.

[ and reach to take it and the hood off!!! ]

[retellers]

[ and I won't tag again until I'm home because this is hell but Anyway, there he is! just a normal blond pretty boy!!! with an odd glow to his eyes. that's fine. ]

Still don't really get what you guys get out of this.

[lionson]

[CLOUD U SHIT]

It's just a way to get to know each other better. You're younger-looking than I thought you would be though.

Is the eye-thing because of the Realm?

[retellers]

I'm 21. [ he says, indignantly, like that makes him less baby to Shiro. but he shakes his head ] Something from home. Mark of a SOLDIER.

[ no one can hear your caps, wolf ]

[lionson]

Only 30 years younger than me!

[Cloud is babey]

But you're from another world? This Realm isn't your home?

[retellers]

Not my fault you're old. [ so there? ] Pretty sure we said that from the get-go. Realm isn't meant for people to inhabit.

[lionson]

You know, that feels like so long ago. It's getting hard to remember.

[retellers]

[ ...winces a little ]

Yeah. Stuff gets blurry here after a while.

[lionson]

Yeah...

Is there a time limit on how long we can be here? Before we lose everything, I mean.

[retellers]

... We're still good for a couple of weeks, at least. But at the rate things are going... Can't say for sure if it'll last more than that.
