QUEEN RULEBOOK

[retellers]

the queen On Wednesday, 9am, Sora will receive a message on his PHS. Hey! Please come meet me at the castle right away!! Upon receiving this message, Sora 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 Sora 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. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ As the Queen: Every Wednesday, the Queen will be given a choice between three items to help them during the competition. Each item will have a positive and negative effect of equal value on the game. While they will be told the positive effect of each item before making their choice, the negative one will only be revealed to them once it has been made. Choose wisely. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Additional notes: The Queen will be allowed to ask questions about the ongoings of the games and communicate with their Leader in their weekly meetings.

No, don't apologize. [ squeezes his hand ] I'm just annoyed you guys have to learn all this stuff secondhand and I can't tell you anything useful.

[ :( ]

[reconnective]

...I wouldn't say that, Swan. And it's not like I only come to see you so you'll be useful to me or anything anyway.

[retellers]

I know. It's just... everyone else is always telling you what they've learned from their Leaders. [ she squeezes his hand again? ] And-- you feel like you can't help as much because you don't find out as much, but that's because of me.

[ swan, stop listening in on conversations ]

[reconnective]

[he's about to reassure her, but uh. hm. he has only said that to one person and it was not swan.]

Were you...listening to my conversation with Lup? [warily. oh no. DID SWAN SEE HIM CRYING? NOOOO SWAN STOP SPYING.] That's still not your fault though. No matter what.

[retellers]

I didn't mean to? But you were upset and I...

[ listened in. hm. ]

I was worried. I still am. [ hand!! squeezing!!!! ]

[reconnective]

[...he will squeeze her hand back.]

I'm okay. Don't worry about it.

[retellers]

[ ...:/ ]

I will anyway. Friends worry about each other.

[reconnective]

I know. I worry about you a lot. [he will always? turn this around on swan?] But I promise everything's fine.

[retellers]

... Would you tell me if it wasn't?

[reconnective]

...would it matter right now? Things are fine here and we'll keep going until we find an answer.

[...but...he sighs softly.] Okay. How much did you hear?

[retellers]

Of course it'd matter. You matter.

[ but at his question she shakes her head ]

Not a lot. I wasn't listening in on purpose. [ she grimaces, looking down ] I know it's not fair that I can listen in all the time and I don't want to make it so you're careful what you tell other people.

[reconnective]

It's not like I mind, it's just...I dunno. You already have a lot to worry about and we're friends. I don't want to give you more to worry about. You know?

[retellers]

You're more important to me than most of the things I worry about. [ sincerely? ] Sora, you're my best friend here. I want to be there for you the way you are for me.

[reconnective]

...[he'll just hold her hands.]

You are. All the time. [...but he knows swan probably won't just accept that.] ...but I don't know. Sometimes I'm sad and there's nothing I can do about that. And sometimes I'm mad and there's nothing I can do about that either. But I'm happy when I'm with you. And with others, too.

So don't underestimate how much you've helped me and been there for me, too.

[retellers]

[ that's fine they can hold hands while she listens and just. squeezes them, running a thumb over his knuckles etc. ]

Even if there's nothing anyone can do, you can tell me. [ forcefully. ] But I'm happy when I'm with you, too.

[reconnective]

Good. [fwendship. but...]

...Swan, I'm not going home after this. I can't. So...all I can do now is try to get the best ending possible for everybody so they can go back where they want to go. That means you too. To your friends and Brightmoon.

[retellers]

Sora... What do you mean, you're not going home? Where are you going?

[reconnective]

...it's this place called the Final World. It's where people go after their hearts and bodies perish.

[retellers]

... I don't understand. So you're... dead?

[ it's great that she has a mask on because it hides half of her heartbroken face ]

[reconnective]

Yeah, kind of. [how can you be kind of dead.] ...there were some things I shouldn't have done but I did in order to save everyone else. I knew I wouldn't come back and that I'd lose my power to try, but it was still the right thing to do.

That was a long time ago though.

[retellers]

... How long? You've been stuck there since?

[reconnective]

...maybe a year. And yes. But it's not so bad. It's a really beautiful place.

[retellers]

... Aren't you lonely?

[reconnective]

A little, yeah. [he can admit that since he didn't quite realize how lonely he was until he was around other people again.] But I don't regret my choices either.

[retellers]

... Could anyone get you out of that place? You're there, but you're still whole. Right? Maybe we just need to find you.
