KNIGHT RULEBOOK
THE KNIGHT On Monday, at 11pm, Xie Lian will receive a message on his PHS. come to the castle and be discreet. it is important. Upon receiving this message, Xie Lian will notice that the castle appears closer than usual. Should he head towards it, he will finally be able to reach its entrance. Inside is a large hall with various doors, along with a staircase, but Xie Lian will be able to access only a single door. Once he steps inside, he will find his Leader waiting for him. After their meeting is over and he leaves the castle, he will no longer be able to reach the castle again. As the Knight: Every Monday, the Knight will be given the chance to protect 1-2 participants in two different ways, active only for the current week. They may choose to apply both means of immunity to the same participant, or they can pick a different person for each one. Or, if they so wish, no one at all. The two forms of protection are active only as long as the Knight is still alive and are as follows:
2.) They can give one participant immunity from execution on Sunday. If this participant is voted for at trial, they will survive their execution. However, they cannot be aware or harbour strong suspicions that they are protected, or else the immunity will fail. Additional notes: The Knight will be allowed to ask questions about the on-goings of the game and communicate with their Leader in their weekly meetings. They may receive small hints should they perform well. However, the information received will be up to their Leader's discretion. |

But, alright. ...Actually, that's really the thing I had the most questions about.
Brother Goat, what does "splintering nova" mean?
no subject
[ a beat. ]
Not because I don't want to...! Just that, um, I didn't hear anything about that until everyone else did. I don't really know any more than you do.
no subject
[ he waves a hand a little, as he backtracks! goat you're so cute. ] Then, I suppose that's an answer we will have to come to together, then.
...I was thinking, that the text on our devices looked a bit "splintered", right? It was as if the text had almost been shattered, like broken glass.
Can nova perhaps make people act strangely...?
no subject
I don't think it can necessarily change a person's personality in itself. However, if memories were blurred, then I suppose a person might behave strangely as a result, hypothetically.
no subject
...I slept in the same place as Laine, on Thursday night. He mostly seemed normal, but at the beginning of the night, he was pacing and fidgeting a lot... I didn't notice anything else off, but afterwards, I started to wonder.
But, everything seemed fine, otherwise. We had a perfectly normal conversation, and shared a snack, even...
no subject
Maybe he was just always like that?
[ read: goat has no idea. ]
no subject
...I honestly have no idea.
[ ... anyway. ] Maybe it has something to do with the "monster" Miss Elsa brought up...?
no subject
Maybe... though from what we can tell, it isn't doing much right now other than devour nova, so I'm not sure if it can yet target specific people.
no subject
no subject
We don't know much about it... Just that it's siphoning nova and is what caused the original disturbance, for which everyone was brought to fix, before Virid... made things worse.
no subject
It is a "monster", yes? As in some sort of a creature...? Is it influenced by the nova it's eating, besides simply growing stronger, do you think?
no subject
It's possible that eating nova related to everyone's suffering is influencing it... though I can't say for sure.
no subject
[ xie lian huffs a quiet laugh. that's been his thought since the beginning; if only it was so easy.
a beat, and he munches on his sandwich, brow furrowing. ] Let's see... oh. I know I asked you about abilities, but I wanted to ask if perhaps you knew anything about what happened with Miss Izumo on Saturday, at the trial? And her dream...
no subject
I don't know what happened there.
[ wasn't him! ]
no subject
[ which is a depressing thought.
xie lian reaches up briefly to rub between his brows. ] Ah... I feel like we're on the verge of figuring something out, but I don't know what that something is... there are so many parts to it that I don't know where to begin.
[ so close, but so far. ] I was able to find my teammate last week. With the addition of that new rule... Brother Goat, that means that you, or any other leader, would be susceptible to all of the things that we are, doesn't it?
[ which... includes death. ] Where could that rule have even come from...?
no subject
[ ... ]
Maybe the Realm has deemed those unable to protect their team members as failures.
no subject
... Even so, you will persevere...correct?
[ the wording is the same as goat's question from sunday, purposefully so. gently encouraging, looking at him meaningfully as he finishes. ]
no subject
Of course.
no subject
Then...we shall keep going. Let's keep moving down our own path.
[ okay... okay. ]
...I've been speaking a bit with Soo-won, since you shared that information with me. Our goals are much of the same, in terms of protecting as many others as we can, and find a way to restore the Realm with as little loss as possible. Even still, I know that Soo-won has a wider reach of information than I really do. [ a beat, and he laughs. ] He's quite charming that way.
...But, he is more focused on collecting a more complete picture of information outside of simply our own team. Would it help, if I could focus instead on trying to suss out the remaining members of ours, so we could better take care of each other?
no subject
[ they think for a bit. ]
I can't say for certain. But it might help with gathering nova, at least.
no subject
xie lian pauses, for a moment. ]
... Can I tell you the ones that I am already aware of, without it hurting you, or the Realm? There are only two besides myself.
no subject
I won't be able to confirm it if they haven't themselves... but there is no harm in telling me what you think.
no subject
[ a pause.
and then he sighs. ] ...Miss Hikaru told me, even though I told her not to... I had reached my full limit for the week, and I asked her to wait, but she... told me anyway. I didn't respond back or tell her in exchange, but...
[ he's so tired. ]
no subject
... Indeed, that child can be careless. Though it seemed unfair not to hint about the dead at all, as she is still on my team, that is why I tried not to say for certain that I knew they could be brought back...
no subject
When I was young, I tried to solve every problem in the world by myself because I didn't feel I needed anyone's help to save the common people, and I didn't listen to the people around me when they pointed out I was becoming stretched thin.
I learned the hard way what kind of loss comes from that, and I fear that she is hurtling down the same path.
[ xie lian sounds concerned as he speaks, and as he finishes, he shakes his head. ] ...I chided her a little, about sharing information too much. I hope that it will get through.
[ but. he doubts it! haha! it's fine. ] ...At any rate, those are the only two that I know.
I would hate to hoard your hints, Brother Goat, since there are precious few. I don't mind waiting, if you would like to try to point someone in my direction... but I can try and seek out someone else, if that would be necessary.
