...Aren't you supposed to be the leader or something?

[ He brings up the PHS and finds that leader notification to shove at Goat's face, can they see it? ]

[retellers]

I suppose that is my title, yes.

[suddenlybees]

Aaaaaaand is this, like, a team of two? Do you want to be leader?

[ Kano will not offer to be leader, he is very firmly number three and that's all he ever wants to be. But, man, having a team leader who's just "yeah I guess so" ]

[retellers]

I will fulfill whatever duty I need to.

[suddenlybees]

And your duty is, what? Making sure we stay alive? Making sure we get outta here? Making sure we win? Claiming that is all well and good, but what's the game plan here?

[retellers]

Ensuring that everyone's worlds are protected and that you all return home safely, yes.

[suddenlybees]

[ That's not a game plan, that's an end goal. ]

And, like, how're you going to ensure that? What's the point of me being here if we got such a wonderful and reliable leader?

[retellers]

We cannot gather the nova ourselves. That is up to you, the participants.

[suddenlybees]

Aren't you also a participant?

[ That's not being a leader, that's being a figurehead ): ]

[retellers]

No. We aren't classified as such.

That is why all of you are necessary. Our purpose is to delay the loss of your memories by having given up our own, as well as provide what you need to comfortably reside here until everyone is able to return home.

[suddenlybees]

Says who?

[ Who is the big boss here making up all these stupid rules?? ]

Anyways, there's some stuff I absolutely cannot forget, so do your best to make some good memories while you're here too, for back up! [ In case they need to re-lose them again... ]

[retellers]

I will do what I can. In return, the more quickly you gather nova, the sooner this will be done with and everyone can return to their respective places.

[suddenlybees]

Alright, alright. So! How do I speedrun this thing? I don't even know what I'm looking for— do I just, like, run around everywhere hoping it sticks?

[retellers]

[ double-checks the date of this thread ]

We know that something related to the nova will occur within the next few days. When that occurs, Fox, Wolf, and Rabbit will inform you of what you must do.

[suddenlybees]

[ Sounds like bullshit to Kano but he nods along anyways. ]

How convenient~ Say, how come it's those three who's gotta babysit us? Can't be just whoever is a people person, 'cause, like, you'd probably do a better job at all that than Wolf!

[retellers]

We're dividing the roles. Next week, it will be me and the other two.

[ they tilt their head. ]

Is there something wrong with Wolf?

[suddenlybees]

[ Oh good, he makes a mental note for next week to ask Tiger for the condoms. ]

Um, hm. Wolf's just sorta... kinda unapproachable? Hard to imagine jumping off buildings with Wolf like I can with you!

[retellers]

[ they have a blank expression that suggests they don't know what kano means. ]

Am I an approachable person...? I have never considered myself as such.

[ in the, like, week's worth of conscious memories they have. ]

I think Wolf is a kind person, in their own way.

[suddenlybees]

You sure are!

[ Nice and quiet and a little spacy. Reminds Kano too much of somebody and so he just laughs. ]

And you sure can say "in their own way" about anyone! What're your thoughts on the others? Rabbit? Swam? You guys are all friends, yeah?

[retellers]

I don't know what they think of me... so I may not be able to call them friends.

[ maybe they don't like goat. ): they have no idea. ]

But I think they are kind as well. [ so. kano's not wrong. ] Swan has taught me things I didn't yet know about.

[suddenlybees]

[ next week Kano is going to ask each npc whether they like Goat and if they say no he will personally stab them ): ]

Ohh, yeah, yeah, I get that. I dunno what anybody thinks of me either!

[ Bad things, but nothing specific. No friends for Kano. ]

What sorta stuff'd you learn from Swan? I thought you guys were all reset?

[retellers]

[ noooooo stabbing ]

It seems we retain general knowledge. For instance, the others knew what a "condom" was, and I did not. I still am not quite sure of its purpose...

Swan was the one who set up the "glitter" and "confetti" that we fired at the others yesterday, and I assisted. So now I have learned what those are.

[suddenlybees]

Swan sure sounds fun~ But now you got all of us to learn from too! Lots of years worth of memories to teach you about! I can teach you condoms!

[ How about it... do you want to learn about condoms from Shuuya Kano ]

[retellers]

[ hm ]

I am aware that it goes over one's genitals when they're having intercourse, and is to prevent... "knocking someone up"? However, no one would explain what that meant.

[suddenlybees]

[ NO NOT THE PROPER USE ]

Pregnancy. Babies. Itty bitty new lives~
