[ Raising his solo hand - don't fucking throw things at him he's one-armed - to pipe up from his seat. ]

Despite the fact I'm down a limb, I'm still more than capable of doing this. Again, I'll just need help, if you'd rather be an accomplice than the one doing the actual dirty work.

[uhhhmagic]

We can go in 2's, right?

[He doesn't object to this.]

[retellers]

[ watching this back and forth by looking between all of them like it's a tennis match, but: ] ... Yeah. It's probably better if two of you work together.

[supremity]

[ Sora and Homura: actively protesting
Taako and Hua Cheng: the pact is sealed ]

Then I'm fine with that arrangement.

[uhhhmagic]

We . . . probably have to get caught, right?

For the nova.

[supremity]

... maybe. It depends on the kills.

Fox, for sure, I know is going to be in the running with us. But I don't know who's going to do it this week, because they don't talk to each other, apparently.

[uhhhmagic]

It's why they're last in the rankings . . .

[horologia]

I repeat, for those of you who are hard of hearing on account of their age, that multiple people are going to be hurt should certain people here be executed.

Allow me to be involved. I'll take the fall.

[supremity]

[ SQUINTS AT from laughing at Taako's burn - he's right and he should say it! ]

Do you truly think no one will be hurt by your death, Yuuri?

[horologia]

No. But there is a difference between allowing the vote to fall on someone like Sora, with how many of those here he's connected to; like Taako, with someone here who would be so deeply affected by his passing; or even you, for similar reasons...

And me.

The three of you have done enough. I'll pull my weight.

[retellers]

Or none of you die! That's an option!

[supremity]

[ Hua Cheng is a ghost and he has spent this entire week AGING. ]

Alright, how about this. Swan - what are our options? Do you think there's a limit on how many people can be awake at once?

[ can the swans take a field trip for murder purposes ]

[reconnective]

...I can probably find out who they're sending, or at least who they're going after. We can go from there.

[supremity]

That'd be our best bet. We need to also figure out our "no kill" list for who we're not targeting. No teams mentioned, just names.

[reconnective]

Yeah. We can talk about that once we settle on who's officially doing our kill this week.

[retellers]

[ the choice doesn't seem like something she should weigh in on but: ] Uh, maybe someone who's not at four team members take the fall? [ OTHER PEOPLE ARE BETTER OFF ]

[supremity]

[ side points at Swan, because he's more than happy to throw someone else under the bus ]

[uhhhmagic]

Or you lose your powers, right?

[LOOK,]

But for real, do we need to get it right for the nova? It's this close to the end. Seems like it'd be fucked to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory because I was a weenus about getting, I dunno, the electric chair.

[retellers]

Uh... [ it's the first part that makes her look away with a laugh? ] Um, yep! Only then!

[uhhhmagic]

I am so fuckin' tired, don't make me chase the real answer out of you.

[retellers]

Okay so maybe I've already lost my Realm powers and protection because of Fiora but it's fine, don't worry about it, I can handle myself! [ iT'S FIIIIINE MOM ]

[supremity]

That's not fine.

[ HEY, WHAT THE FUCK. ]

[reconnective]

WHAT?

[uhhhmagic]

[SIGHING OUT SO DEEPLY.]

Ah.

[MAKING A FACE. It could be concern. He doesn't seem to experience this one often.]

Protection from what exactly?

[horologia]

[ hm. ]
