[papasha]

It's me.

[retellers]

[ thanks blanca

fox goes back to brewing tea ]

[papasha]

[you could call it

a fox chase]

[sacredchants]

[ LEAVE.


...EXCEPT MAYBE ACTUALLY DON'T. ]

[sacredchants]

[ well........

at least they can supervise this. ]

[riegan]

(Please let him help? Except don't because he'll ruin it some how. )

[retellers]

[ no because fox remembers that claude probably forgot how to make tea, sorry claude ]

[riegan]

(It's not his fault he keeps forgetting that he forgot how to make tea, Fox. He sees tea set and wants to help? It's a habit!!)

[retellers]

[ claude can............ pour the tea, at least

unless he forgot how to do that too ]

[riegan]

(He forgot how to make it not how to serve it ok)

[sacredchants]

Why didn't you say something?

[ ... ]

The more we know the better it will be for all of us.

[misstrust]

I wouldn't necessarily say that. The more people know, the more danger he's in.

[sacredchants]

Danger from what? I just want to understand more about it means to be one of the pieces.

[papasha]

Not necessarily. There are a lot of things in play, and I wanted as few people as possible to be targets at the start. My apologies.

I also wanted to see what Fox would tell you as opposed to telling me without you knowing. As a vetting process.

[He sort of gives Fox an apologetic look? Sorry, bro.]

[retellers]

[ fox just smiles utterly serenely ]

[papasha]

[Please stop smiling, he's been gaslit enough!!]

[retellers]

[ has blanca considered

that fox has not actually been trying to gaslight him ]

[papasha]

[]

[sacredchants]

I guess that's fair.

So? Do you feel comfortable enough to tell us which piece you are?

[ OR APPARENTLY JUST THE TEENS. ]

[papasha]

I'm the Rook.

All of the pieces have been gathered, so you don't have to worry about finding any more. But... we still need everyone's help and cooperation.

Both in not spreading information so boldly around, and also in helping us find out how to put a stop to this game where all of us come out free and alive.

[sacredchants]

[ rook.... a powerful piece. ]

Do you know what role you play ending all of this?

I'm not thrilled about the process in what we all have to do to bring everyone back, but I certainly don't want this cycle to keep happening.

[riegan]

To be fair, we didn't even find each other until fairly recently and if you consider the type of people we are...

(CLAUDE WOULDN'T HAVE OPENED UP EITHER? Why are foxes so bad at communicating.)

[sacredchants]

[ SHOVES HIM WITH HER GOOD ARM. (except not really? hm..) ]

I know that!

We have one week left and there we teams meeting well before us, which is why we need to play some catch up about certain things. If I can't know about some stuff then at least let me know why I shouldn't.

[riegan]

I would say it's not our fault but it's our fault for not working together.

(Looking at Izumo when he says that, but anyway,)

It took us time to find each other, too.

We shouldn't compare ourselves to other teams too much, though. There are still plenty of things even they don't know. Let's just focus on what we can figure out for ourselves right now.

[sacredchants]

Some people are surely more at fault for that than others, I'm sure.

[ don't fuckin' look at her when you're saying this??? claude knows what claude has done. either way— ]

What we definitely need to do is make sure what we're saying isn't false information and get ourselves caught up to speed about what the others know.

[ which claude is doing with...a level of success. ]
