[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.

[cuedoves]

I wasn't asking about that!

[ sdsdsasdsd ]

I was just wondering if any of those rooms had any signs that... other people had been there. Even in the past.

[retellers]

No, not that I know of. I can't get into every room though, but I feel like that would have been something that one of us would have mentioned.

[ since weird and funky things happening in the castle wouldn't really be. related to the competition. no reason not to share it. ]

[cuedoves]

Well, locked doors are usually hiding something.

There's no way I can go there and check it out?

[retellers]

I can't go into rooms that belong to the other Leaders.

[cuedoves]

What about common areas?

[retellers]

We don't lock each other out of the kitchen.

... even if that would be nice...

[cuedoves]

[ tiger is so mean but zuko thinks it's funny..... ]

If that happened we'd probably be having trials for your bodies.

[retellers]

[ they tap their chin. ]

Probably. I'm sure that'll be a fun one.
