[retellers]

[ they just nod. ]

[recrowns]

[yay! so soo-won just offers up a smile before pulling back his hand]

But you make a point - I've mentioned to others that at first I didn't understand the motivation, given the plentiful food and shelter.

So the current hypothesis is that the Realm responded to the will of either Virid, or Virid's leader, in order to allow for circumstances on a Thursday night in which Virid could murder Hajime?

[retellers]

That seems to be the case.

[recrowns]

And if someone else gets the same idea - that they have a memory that is so important to them that they would kill in order to get it back - the same circumstances will manifest this Thursday?

However if those sentiments don't exist, Thursday will proceed normally?

[retellers]

[ they nod. ]

If no one has any kind of unusual intent, I believe Thursday should be another, ordinary day.

[ maybe this is break week! no murder! ]

[recrowns]

[maybe!]

However there is now distrust amongst the Leaders, who believe that one of you might be whispering encouragement for murder to their teammates.

[retellers]

That is a concern.

[recrowns]

Hm....

We seem to have quite the problem on our hands, Goat.

[no shit!]

[retellers]

Yes... I'm sorry that I can't be of more help at the moment.

[recrowns]

That's alright.

[and he tilts his head]

Could you tell me more about the other Leaders? I would like to speak with them soon. It might help, to know what I'm getting myself into.

[retellers]

I don't know them very well, especially since we have no memories, but... what do you want to know about them?

[recrowns]

What are they like? Their temperaments? Playful? Serious? I've been able to glimpse some based on how they act in public...

Is there anything that makes them particularly angry?

[retellers]

[ they think for a moment. ]

Tiger has little patience, especially for anything they consider foolish. They don't like answering questions that should already be known.

Swan is quick to anger, but that is only because they care deeply, I think. They have a strong sense of justice, and are young.

Wolf, Fox, and Rabbit are more patient. The latter two were the ones who volunteered to speak with you all first and deal with the brunt of your potential anger and violence... so I don't think they are easily provoked. ... Oh. Hm.

[recrowns]

[wh

what was that]

H-Hm?

[retellers]

[ wow goat sure has gone quiet ]

[recrowns]

[ . . . ]

Goat, I'm afraid I will be less able to aid you in protecting everyone if I don't have all information at my disposal...

[retellers]

... I, um, caused a few incidents on the weekend you arrived. Fox was still very calm, and they were smiling, but that may have been their way of scolding me...

[recrowns]

[ . . . oh.

he's trying not to look amused and failing]

What did you do?

[retellers]

[ they start twiddling their thumbs. ]

Swan asked for a demonstration of my powers, so I froze over part of the castle... which might've prevented everyone else from leaving by accident... And then Rabbit, who is one of the more fragile ones among us, slipped on the ice and fell...

[recrowns]

[ . . . . there's just

a gentle laugh at that]

Did you apologize?

[retellers]

[ your continued confirmation that goat is dumb as heck ]

Of course. It's only right to do so when you harm someone.

[recrowns]

[goat is dumb and soo-won thinks it's so amusing

he nods along with that]

Good - then be mindful of that in the future, and apologize quickly when Fox starts smiling with a bit of sharpness. I'd hate for anymore tenseness between you all.

Do you all still possess your powers then?

[retellers]

Correct. Though those of us with fewer or none were given some as well.

[recrowns]

Oh? That's surprising.

[he sounds impressed]

May I ask about the extent of your powers then? I wouldn't suppose you'd be able to tell me the other Leaders....

[though he already sounds like he doubts it - he'll have to go and ask]

[retellers]

It's best if you ask them. In any case, I may not know all of them.

[ but they have to think for a while on this. ]
