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.

[ imagine if someone let it slip. wow. ]

What's the question?

...you have said Zuko asked to be tasked with removal, if it became necessary for you to request it of one of us. Given his current state, however--

I would ask to do so instead, should there be a need for it before our time is up. We have made our two, but that hardly means no more will ever be necessary, and I am in much better shape for it.

[ oh.

there's a pause, and then she nods. ]

... yeah. I think that should work. Even besides the injuries...

[ he just had a dramatic non execution and also poisoned everyone ]

Precisely. This week in particular has not been kind to him.

[zuko is not in much shape to be doing more murder.

also me belatedly forgetting to ask what he JUST said he was going to ask about--]

But if that is settled, then... have you anything new to pass on?

[ you're fine i had to do other mod work first anyway you had time to sneakily edit ]

Just confirmation that if a team loses all of its members, they can't be brought back. Whoever the Leader is will lose their status as one, so they won't belong to a team anymore.

-are you aware if they retain their status as Leader if they die before losing all their members?

[i keep forgetting i can't mention furrowing his brow when he wears a mask now, fuck. he frowns.]

Or is that situation yet an unknown?

[ she grimaces. ]

I don't know for sure, but... I honestly think it'll be the same thing. It wouldn't really be that big of a deal otherwise.

-so none of you can be allowed to die or lose your teams entirely. With some of your numbers, that will be a bit difficult to ensure, but... we will try.

[a shake of his head, as he sighs.]

Were you shown the report that was apparently found this week, by the way?

I heard about it, but I haven't gotten to actually read it for myself yet.

I obtained a copy, thanks to one of the others.

[sora is out here doing the work, so he has a recreation typed on his phs.]

[ she reads it, and her frown deepens as she gets further into it. ]

... good to know that we really can't fuck up, huh.

I had no intention of allowing it in the first place, but- that does seem to be the case, yes.

[you know, no pressure!]

...I think we have coordinated well enough, so far. Unless something goes horribly wrong, our numbers should all hold out-- there were unexpected results, this week, but it is our hope that with only two teams remaining to make their goal, there will be fewer surprises.

On the bridge side, at least the mass poisoning didn't happen in an earlier week.

[ can you imagine if that happened in a week where they didn't have the easy jeanne option?? ]

... although the dodging removal thing might become harder to pull off now that more people are getting aware. The person can't know about it, right?

They cannot. But if they know about it, then it is possible to lie and tell them it was used differently, especially if they know enough.

[a contemplative hum.]

From my understanding, it has another use besides protection from being executed. If we do our utmost to ensure they believe it was used in that way, instead...

So, basically trick them into thinking that it wasn't used even if they know about it. Do you have any ideas?

Trick them into believing it was used on someone else, rather. If they suspect, we can go to them and tell them it was used on a different person, especially if we end up with a similar situation of only one clear lead.

It may beg the question of why we did not push to vote for that person, but if no evidence is tied to them... it will be easy enough to explain how suspicious that would have looked.

... well, I think we're at the point where we have to use as many cards as we can to not fuck up.

[ so if he thinks he can pull it off. ]

We are still in discussions, yet. The decisions remain to be seen.

[there is so much discussing and number-crunching happening, he remains tired-- but at least he's less tired than last week. the eternal slouchy posture has not come back.]

It does still feel somewhat short-sighted, though. We still do not know what, precisely, needs to be done before our time is up save for ensuring the correct number of deaths.

I think that's the only thing with an immediate time limit for now. In theory, we should just be able to collect nova just fine once we've made sure the path is secured, as long as nobody accidentally kills off an entire team.

Anything else... we'll have to see if someone remembered something different, I guess, or see what we get next week.

If the others have learned anything different, then we should hear of it between us all.

[a nod, there. the contact network Should run through every team.]

Ah, I know you should be aware, but I have only told Ruler about Virid thus far. She has promised to keep her counsel, and it seems to me that she has kept her word.

[ oh. she nods. ]

... thanks.

[a nod back.]

As far as I am aware, the others I know do not suspect at all-- though Zuko may ask. I declined to give him a name after telling him they were irrelevant to our kill count.

Eh, I can distract him.

[ ... ]

But once I figure out that he's gotten over his habit of immediately telling other people things, then maybe...

Well, if you deem anyone else trustworthy enough, you may let me know as well. I know that not all of us speak with you often.

[a pause, and:]

I doubt Hansa would care much for keeping it from Alex, and there are likely other things I ought to share with him first.

[tfw you have only told one of your partners you have a role.]

[ sometimes... it be like that. ]

Do you think he'll be okay that it took a while?
