[retellers]

I managed not to get punched, so hey, went better than it could have.

[cuedoves]

Yeah, that's always a plus.

It was a real mess, though.

[retellers]

... yeah.

That's one way to say it.

[cuedoves]

Yeah.

[ he doesn't even have the words ]

Can I ask you something? It's not about the murder.

[retellers]

[ they tilt their head. ]

What is it?

[cuedoves]

[ he'll show tiger a copy of this ]

... Do you know who wrote this?

[retellers]

[ they look at it and quickly read it over. ]

It wasn't me. Not really the diary type.

[cuedoves]

Any other leader you think might be the diary type?

What do you think it means?

[retellers]

I don't know, Rabbit? Not that this sounds like them... but usually with diaries, you don't normally tell people that you keep one.

[ ... ]

I'm not sure. It just seems a little... weird.

[cuedoves]

Pretty weird place to find a diary, too.

[ .... ]

It looks weird to me too. And it doesn't sound like any of you... that I know of.

[retellers]

[ hm... ]

Who have you spoken to about it?

[cuedoves]

Most of the other leaders. No one seems to know who wrote it... or much about it.

I would have asked you first, but it didn't seem to.... fit you at all.

[retellers]

Oh, definitely not. There isn't a single insult in here.

[ ooc?? ]

[cuedoves]

[ he laughs ]

Yeah, basically.

[retellers]

You agreed so quickly.

[ they don't sound bothered by it. ]

Still... it has to be one of us, unless there's some other mysterious being writing a diary.

[cuedoves]

No point in beating around the bush. Besides, we deserve insults at least some of the time.

[ he is kind of endeared by tiger being rude though bc maikin...... ]

Yeah, but no one's fessing up. I don't know why anyone would lie about this, though.

[retellers]

I don't either, is the thing. Yeah, unmasking early would be kind of an asshole move, but it's not the end of the world? None of us would actually be that mad-- well. No, I'd be kind of mad, but would be expected.

[ they frown. ]

So the secrecy is weird.

[cuedoves]

.... Why? [ he's just curious, this is the first he's heard of it being an asshole move ]

I know you all don't have memories, but do you think there might be someone else around? Just based on observations.

[retellers]

We didn't know how badly we would be punished for it, if we were. So our original decision was to wait, and then after all of us mutually agreed to it, we'd start letting ourselves unmask. You'd have to be a dick to go and do it anyway without asking.

[ it's why they were all so sure that no one had unmasked--they hadn't agreed to it yet. ]

... I don't know. That's not saying it's not possible, but if there is, I don't think they'd be in town with us. We would have definitely found them by now.

[cuedoves]

That makes sense. It's the first time I heard one of you guys mention that, though.

[ everyone else had different answers.... ]

Yeah, there's not many places to lurk around, is there?

[retellers]

[ honestly, they all just wanted to change the topic to something else whenever it came up, tiger included. they would not be surprised if they just said anything. ]

But yeah. And even if you guys can't go through the entire forest, we can, so we would have run into someone.

[cuedoves]

You have your own... rooms and stuff, right? Places we can't really go to?

[retellers]

Oh, yeah. Back at the castle.

[cuedoves]

What else is at the castle?

[retellers]

Other rooms.

[ ... ]

There's no like, mystery sex dungeon or anything.
