KING RULEBOOK

the king

On Sunday, at 6pm, Emet-Selch will receive a message on his PHS.

👤 ➡️ 🏰

go there.

Upon receiving this message, Emet-Selch 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 he 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.

[ The room is decorated almost like a coffee shop, with a few booths and tables. There's a counter where an arrangement of different drinks can be ordered from, even though there's no one behind it.

Tiger is once again at a booth, resting their head on their arms. It almost looks like they're asleep, but they look up as soon as Emet approaches. ]

[ Submit your rule and order here before the Monday mingle. ]

RULE: "Participants cannot turn down any other participant's request for help with a task."

he isn't here for holding hands and friendship but this should help to be a form of bonding, and he doesn't HAVE to put up with it if he really doesn't want to. win/win.

ORDER: yeets this in for you since it's determined: Shiro will receive the order to "Kill one other participant, to spare another child from killing."

[ Tiger is here to answer any questions. ]

I suppose I may as well ask first just what had your fellows in such a rush, today.

[he slides into the booth seat across from tiger, settling in, looking them over.]

Something exhausting enough, I take it?

Remember when I said that it's best not to go around, telling people your team all the time?

[ they sit up. ]

People have been too crazy with rule breaking. Shit is starting to fall apart from it, so we have to waste energy to keep it together.

...of course they have.

[he exhales a sigh, shaking his head. this is why like, only three people total are aware of his by now.]

And is this enough of a waste of energy to hinder your usual work?

No, that will always be priority.

It just means that... things might get a little weird. Weirder.

Precisely what we needed.

[the place is already weird enough, sometimes.]

Ah, but somewhat related to the business of teams-- we need not be too concerned with your status, I hope?

[he might not care about the competition, but, well. if that's detrimental in other ways, then he wants to be aware.]

... being in last place itself doesn't hurt, but we're behind in ways more important than that. It's overall nova collection--there's a certain threshold that other teams have probably passed that we haven't yet, and if we don't catch up, it's probably going to be bad for us in the long run.

Another week of trying to encourage them to do so, then.

[well, he can factor that into the rule creation. he's had his personal space week, back to work.]

I had heard that others from different teams received the same notification as I did earlier, but in a previous week-- was that simply a threshold they reached sooner, as well?

[ they nod. ]

Basically, yeah. This competition doesn't reward people on an individual basis--it's all team. Even if you're doing great, if the rest of your team is slacking, then you're still going to suffer for it.

[thanks, he looks very tired at that.]

Well, I will see if there is aught I may do, then. Some of them do keep going on about concepts like friendship and love, but I am sure it will come as no surprise that I hardly intend to go about encouraging them to hold hands.

I don't suppose you have discovered any more direct methods, either.

Oh, I am sure they are bursting at the seams to run and hug each other as soon as tomorrow comes.

[ disgusting.......

but anyway. ]

First, have you had any luck and figuring out who my hint was about?

Assuming they still live, yes. I thought Hansa to be likely, though did not have the time to get to Laine prior to his death... if Hua Cheng was being truthful about belonging to a different team and it was not Laine, then that narrows it down to one. Another I am working with already planned to exchange their affiliation with Hansa, so they will be confirming for me; I trust their word well enough.

[he was more comfortable sharing with another immortal first, naturally, and if he can find out while sharing with as few people as possible... well. of course he's doing that.]

[ they are not confirming if that is right or not, but they do smile a little. anyway. ]

Once you have the official confirmation, that should help.

Given that two learned of it this week, I assume it would be safer to wait to speak with him of it myself until tomorrow?

[just. to make sure he doesn't add to the Problems. lord.]

[ a nod. ]

Tomorrow's fine.

[he nods in turn. fine with him.]

And of course, given the current situation, I should ask again-- last week's experiment appears to have worked just as well as anticipated, but if you believe it would be detrimental to continue on to the original plan... I will take it under advisement. You have more insight into what may cause further disruption than I, or so I should hope.

[but if it's not too risky to attempt, and if it could lead to generating nova, then it's time for experiment number two.]

[ they're thinking about it. ]

Did you have anyone in particular in mind for that?

Shiro.

[you don't have to say that without hesitation, emet-selch, jesus.]

I was considering him already, but particularly after the events of the weekend... qualify it as an urge to kill so that the young ones do not have to suffer it themselves, and I suspect he may be easier to push.

There are others I believe could be used, but he is foremost among them. Even should it fail, if he ends up admitting to the fact that he has this urge at all-- well. That can also be useful in other ways.

[if they want bonds, then what assists that more than turning to someone in distress? if they need a nudge, maybe it'll spur a little action on their parts to know someone was nearly pushed into murder.]

... I think that it'll at least be a useful test to do, regardless if it works or not.

[ they tap their fingers against the table top. ]

And if that doesn't work on him, it would at least help you figure out that he'd be an unlikely murderer during future trials.

So it would. There are benefits regardless of its success or failure, I believe-- but then that is one matter decided. The other, I must consider further.

['teej just decide on rules before sunday' it's HARD.]

In the meantime... the concept was brought up of nova splintering. I would ask what you know of that, as well.

I haven't seen it happen personally yet, so I can't give a definite confirmation for it.

[ ... ]

But I know it's been a thing since at least last week. And it does make sense, I guess. We knew that what Virid did fucked something up, but we couldn't figure out the full extent of it. This would line up with that.

And are you aware of precisely what this entails? I would much prefer to have the explanation from one of you, if there is one to be had.
