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.

[cuedoves]

What you mean, that'll be a fun one?

[ he was joking, don't actually die wtf ]

[retellers]

You wouldn't even have anyone who'd be able to take you places.

[ the doors are locked until a leader can take them outside... ]

[cuedoves]

Well- yeah, but you're talking about it like it's going to happen!

[retellers]

... well, it might.

You have to be prepared for those kinds of things.

[cuedoves]

It's not happening. Not on my watch.

[ he's so stupid ]

[retellers]

[ they


laugh. because he's always so serious. ]

[cuedoves]

I'm serious! Don't mock me!

[ mock him ]

[retellers]

I know, that's why I'm laughing? It's very knight in shining armor.
