[recrowns]

Can you come visit me in my dreams?

[why does he want this]

[retellers]

Is... that something you want? [ so confused. ] I was under the impression most people would prefer not to have their minds invaded.

[recrowns]

The novelty of it doesn't sound bad.

[soo-won is curious about everything which sucks, he mostly just wants to see what it's like]

[retellers]

I... suppose I can try?

[ ??? ]

[recrowns]

Then I'll look forward to it.

[their five tribes + goat meeting]

Have you used your other powers here?

[retellers]

[ weeps ]

I use my powers of moving space frequently enough, as it allows me to quickly move from the castle to the town, and I've used my powers of ice once in a while...

[ do not have a whole lot of reasons to reduce anything to ashes though ]

[recrowns]

Mm, that's a good assortment.

[glad that nothing has been reduced to ash]

Have my other teammates paid you visits then?

[retellers]

Some have. Some haven't.

[recrowns]

Hm...

Would you like to meet them? Should I try to encourage them?

[retellers]

You don't know who they are.

[recrowns]

Can I get hints to find them?

[retellers]

[ a pause. ]

Yes, starting... tomorrow.

[recrowns]

[THE WAY THAT JAN IS JUST GOING TO MAKE ME PUT IN ANOTHER AUDIENCE REQUEST IN TWO MINUTES]

Hmm... alright.

[he pauses like he's trying to think]

Do I have anything else...

[ . . . ]

Are you doing alright?

[retellers]

[ OUR RULES

they're quiet for a moment. ]

Do not worry for me.

[recrowns]

[it's fine i accept]

It's a bit too late for that, I'm afraid.

Could I ask only after your honesty?

[retellers]

[ ... ]

I am sad, and grieve for the lives lost and worry for the future. But I am used to being sad, I think.

[recrowns]

[ . . . . ah. soo-won's expression turns more serious at that, and with the hand that is not holding onto his rice crackers, he offers his hand out to goat, palm up]

Your hand, if I may?

[retellers]

[ sure didn't get this notif so i guess dw doesn't want soo-won to be nice (?) to goat

confused, they hold out their hand. ]

[recrowns]

[ :( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway soo-won is going to take that hand and hold it in his, offering it a squeeze]

It may not mean much, but I'll try harder to offer a few reprieves from the sadness that you carry.

While I understand the feeling, it is not one I would wish on any.

[retellers]

[ they look a little surprised. ]

... That is very kind of you. However, I would ask that you look after yourself first, and your fellow participants--and the other Leaders, if you can.

[recrowns]

Mm!

And it's because you say things like that, I intend on looking after you just as much as anyone else.

[there's a bit of a laugh]

You might have heard if you know what I say to others... but I don't particularly care for the gods of my world, or relying on higher powers. I'm not sure whether you are a type of god, or another immortal.

But in this moment, you sound like anyone else to me - and I don't believe in special treatment.

[retellers]

I have heard, yes. And you know that I cannot say what I am.

[ because no memories ]

... Whatever life I led before this, I'm sure I must have witnessed much bloodshed. Though it may be painful, I can endure whatever is to come. However, many of the other Leaders--aside from one or two--don't seem as accustomed to this sort of thing.

I ask that, should you meet with them, you offer them the same kindness you have shown me.

[recrowns]

[big blobby goat-shaped immortal it is then

but soo-won will just look gently amused at that]

Mm, I intend to. Put in a good word for me if you can - but I'd like to get to know them too, now that the opportunity will be open.

I'm not sure how well they'll respond to me, but I don't intend on making any exceptions to my treatment of others.

[retellers]

Why wouldn't they get along with you?

[ soo-won has been nice... ]

[recrowns]

Oh, I don't know. Some can think I'm a bit airheaded and foolish.

[which he is!

but it's mostly just the icing on top of a deeply complicated and tortured cake]
