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.

[ 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.

Your memories would completely break--to the point where you won't be able to get them back, no matter how much nova we collect. There wouldn't be anything left of who you are, apparently.

It sounds like... I guess people are getting "infected" with this, so their own nova starts to splinter. And the only way to stop that from happening is to remove them from the Realm before it splinters entirely and then infects the next person.

-but they are only irretrievable if they break completely, yes? Or is it that anything lost once this 'infection' begins is gone for good, regardless of whether the afflicted individual is removed in time?

In either case... is there no way to prevent this from occurring?

Only if they break completely. There might be some side effects, but that would be hard to know for sure unless we were able to check.

[ they sigh. ]

I don't think there would be a way to stop it altogether when the Realm is already weak to everything else that's happening. It gets compared to a sickness a lot--you can't completely prevent yourself from catching a cold, but you can try to take up measures from getting even more sick.

Then if there is aught to be done to attempt to prevent it, I would know what those measures are.

[leaning forward slightly, arms folded on the table.]

I am the last living memory of a world which no longer exists. Not as we once knew it. Should the history which I have committed to memory be broken in such a manner, it would be lost completely to the universe, and that... that, I could not abide. A temporary loss is bearable, if galling, but I will not see this destroyed.

As of right now, there's no way to prevent it other than gathering nova.

Of course, if that changes, I can let you know. The problem is that it doesn't seem to have been caught in the early stages--just when it's too late to do anything else.

-then if you would please, I would hear it, if you do learn anything more.

[that may well be the first time he's said please to anyone all game. amazing.]

Ending up in such a state is something that must be prevented, at all costs.

... yeah.

[ they look down at the table. ]

Losing all of your memories already fucking sucks. Everything else is... a lot worse.

So it is. If you learn of any signs, as well, then... in the absence of anything else to be done, I would know when removal is necessary, that I may have Archer handle it.

[death, he can overcome. he believes in that much. it would be more acceptable than losing everything for good.]

... for now, I have another question. I have been made aware of another with some form of ability here, as well as their identity; just how much care must be taken in sharing my position?

[he's discussed protecting people like himself, with chiron, so... he is thinking about it.

... I recommend only doing it if you're pretty sure the other person won't immediately blab. Everyone is already on edge, so we don't need some idiot getting the wrong idea and trying to go after you over some misguided idea over how these duties work.

It should be the opposite, I believe. I have spoken with the person who shared that identity about attempting to ensure any of us with these duties survive, and I do trust they will keep their word to me.

[unless their greater duty takes precedence, but like. he understands.]

I do not intend to tell him about the orders, but is there aught I should not say?

Oh, yeah, I don't see how the order part will go well unless you flat out lie about what yours have been.

[ but... hm. ]

... don't mention what the room is like.

I had not intended to, but I will make certain to keep such details to myself should anyone ask. It is not relevant to the subject.

I'll be honest, you already have a pretty good sense on keeping information to yourself instead of telling the first person you see. I think you'll be fine.

I suppose time will tell if I have had a good sense of who to tell that information to, as well, but thus far I believe so.

Well, you didn't cause shit to start breaking, so I think you're doing great.

[ ... ]

Although admittedly, our team wasn't that bad with it compared to others. So that's nice.

Given that it apparently took time for them to come speak to you, I cannot say I'm surprised.

[ they groan. ]

Someone finally came to me for the first time today. How many weeks has it been?!

Just today? Well, that's a bit careless of them...

[how do you just avoid someone you're tied to, did they not even want info? hello.]

They probably only did since it's hard to ignore everything that has happened in the last two days.
