[retellers]

Our team is pretty lucky with removals.

[ ... although that may not be the case in the future, but. celebrate today. ]

[robopriest]

It's true. I guess we have you as our lucky charm.

[And a tilt of his head.]

Though...I guess previous times we might have been so fortunate, right?

[retellers]

[ she pats the crown. ]

... and by previous times, you mean...?

[ she just wants to make sure they are on the same page. ]

[robopriest]

I mean, we've been through this before more than once. This whole competition. And we've been resetting our memories to try to save everyone.

[He smirks.]

Is that true?

[retellers]

It's most likely true.

[ ... ]

Well, I'm not sure if we purposely reset it every time.

[robopriest]

I was going to ask about that. Emet-Selch wouldn't be the type to give up memories just. Willy-nilly, and I'm sure I wouldn't after a time either, so...

Do you think we were forced to, at some point?

[retellers]

Maybe. Or there were cases where people didn't really consider the general consensus. Going by how some of the other reports went, it didn't sound like everyone was as chummy every time.

[robopriest]

Its true. Some of you took the competition quite seriously, and tried to sabotage. Not exactly a great look.

[retellers]

[ she scowls ]

Listen, for people to mess up as many times as you did? Some of those times had to have been you guys getting too murder happy too, so don't put all the blame on us. The point is that the group as a whole couldn't get it to work, and I really fucking doubt that would be the Leaders' fault each time, especially considering you guys barely listened to us.

[robopriest]

Haha.

[He smirks.]

I'm not saying we weren't to blame either, little Tiger. I'm just saying that the Leaders got their hands dirty, as well, based on those reports. [And then a shrug.] But you're right. I mean, for example, even that rumor, with the two murders being sunderered and unsundered...I wonder who spread that one?

[retellers]

[ she puts her face in her hands. ]

I have no idea. You guys theorizing and stuff is fine, but that thing was being spread around as absolute fact. And as much as some of us may like to bully you, [ tiger. tiger likes to bully the participants. ] we do want you to get stuff right, so...

[ they rock paper scissor'd over who had to tell them. ]

[robopriest]

Its fine. We're all dealing with veiled mysteries and secrets, here. Good for you for stepping up and saying what's what.

[And a nod.]

Anything else you really want us to know?

[retellers]

Well, most of it is stuff that's trickier for me to just flat out say...

So, do you have any questions?

[robopriest]

So, the monster. Is it coming?

[retellers]

It's not heading for us yet, no.

[ we still have two weeks left wow.... not that they know this icly, tiger doesn't know what a mg endgame looks like. ]

[robopriest]

Did it attack the previous times, or is this the first we've dealt with it?

[retellers]

It's hard to say... since it kind of sounds like the reports are from different cycles, going by the tone of all of them. And just going by the memories we get about them, they're just memories of a small part of all of them... it's hard to paint a clear picture of what exactly occurred in them all.

But at least one report flat out mentioned it, so we can say it appeared one other time.

[robopriest]

...

Well, that's nice of the monster to just leave us alone after it tried to attack at least once, huh.

[retellers]

I have no fucking idea. It's like, supposed to be attracted to nova, so maybe we just haven't collected enough yet?

[robopriest]

Can't believe we're doing the Tom and Jerry routine where we put a bunch of nova under a box propped up by a stick and say "pspspspspsps monster, come here, you big dolt".

[retellers]

... pspspspspsps?

[robopriest]

Like, what you do with a cat to get them to come to you. They like the sound.

[retellers]

[ ... ]

I guess I don't have a cat...

[robopriest]

Would you want to have one?

[retellers]

Don't know if I'd be very good with pets...
