That's what I'm hearing... and it kind of feels like it is.

[ but he had a pretty shitty week ]

[retellers]

Well, you're all now rushing to do last minute kills in two weeks. Of course it's going to get messy.

But like, actual nova-wise? It's not worse. You all just have depression and more trauma now.

[cuedoves]

[ laughs weekly. ]

Yeah. That sounds about right.

But I'm glad the Realm isn't falling apart... more. We're... doing okay with nova?

[retellers]

[ she nods. ]

So far so good.

[cuedoves]

Well, at least everything isn't completely terrible, even though I'm probably dying of poison.

[ so deadpan. but he is actually kind of relieved that they're okay novawise? ]

What did you remember?

[retellers]

There are worse ways to die, so cheer up.

[ she nods... ]

If a team loses all their members, then it won't matter if they already got the two kills. The Leader will loser their status as one, which means the team will disband.

[cuedoves]

.... Oh. Right. Sorry.

[ he's going to shut now!! about the poison. his eyes do widen a little bit ]

We can't let that happen. I know we're probably safe... but.....

[ the other teams ]

[retellers]

I know that some other ones are pretty down to the wire, yeah.

[cuedoves]

I know Fox and Goat are badly off, but.... did you hear about any other teams?

[retellers]

... you'll have to ask around about that one, since I can't really out numbers for other teams, even in a vague sense.

But it probably wouldn't be hard to figure out.

[cuedoves]

Yeah, I'm planning on it. [ .... ]

So... you were right about the time loop thing. And it's been us all along? Screwing up.

[retellers]

... mmhm.

Still doesn't change what I said about doing better though.

[cuedoves]

I know. I don't... I don't want to dwell on our failures anymore. I just want to make things right, like you said.

But I can't help but feel like we're missing something. I don't know.

[retellers]

The punchline?

... as long as someone doesn't do something crazy and drastically fucks the numbers up, we should be fine for what we do know, at least.

[cuedoves]

That's... a pretty big relief.

But I don't know. This week was... a lot. If it's just Swan and Fox that need to go, we should be okay, but.... it depends on who gets picked.

[retellers]

... well, you guys did a good job of coordinating this week. So, hopefully whoever does it next week knows to do the same.

[cuedoves]

I don't know. Shigeo died, and I'm sure sure it was a team who didn't need to go again.

[ bleh. ]

[ but he'll show her this report. ]

This is pretty much the same thing as I've been hearing from you guys, but... Shigeo said when we found it, a woman told him we were missing the key.

[retellers]

[ she reads it over, and then looks at him. ]

And are we sure it's not something you're all overthinking?

[cuedoves]

Maybe? But I don't really know what to think here!

[cheerbleed]

Well, maybe thing we're missing isn't something that's deep and mysterious?
