[ . . . . . there's a bit of a huff at that, gentle, distantly amused, and a bit rueful.]
... well, I know what I've done. To take a life remains to be something difficult, even if it was a situation where I didn't have a choice but to do so.
But I can carry one more person's belief.
Given that the nova generated for our team was likely hers.... I don't mind carrying her wish along with me as well. It's the least that I could do.
.... it depends, I suppose. It makes me wonder what Rabbit and Wolf's teams are doing, exactly, that manage to make them catch so much of a lead.
Do you have any new clarification about what causes nova to gather? Strong emotions, like that after trial, participating in the oddities on Wednesday, and harming another person?
We still don't always know exactly... but your bonds with one another--and perhaps with us, the Leaders--may be one source. What you went through on Thursday, another.
Wednesdays and the conclusion of trials have been the most consistent. Though in regards to the latter, less nova was gathered last week than the first, because of, um, the results...
it takes him a moment to ask - but he has to. he truly feels as though he has to, even though he keeps his expression level.]
.... if they voted for me in a later week, even if I hadn't harmed someone that given night, how would that ultimately affect the nova? Would it gather more because I had been guilty at some point?
But it's a theory that's been passed around, given that some think that Virid was encouraged to kill. It's made me wonder if it's one of the Leaders, or something else.
[ wow much surprise. at least two of the other npcs think goat is a moron but it's fine he's not quite aware of that. ]
Swan is young. They have a very kind heart, but because of that kindness, they also feel very strongly about things. It is inevitable that they will clash with others [ tiger ], at times.

... I see. Then, I hope that that child's soul found some peace with that resolve.
no subject
... I don't know. I'd like to ask her, but it sounds like I won't be able to.
Even still - I know that she told me... that she wants me to live.
[with her last breath]
So I don't intend to go easily, else it end up being a fruitless endeavor for both of us.

... If her death contributed to our nova, I don't believe it was as much as you suspect. Much of it was gained from different times in the week.
Though I don't know if that makes it better or worse...
no subject
he hums thoughtfully at that]

[ y'all voted for an innocent ]

Um...
I don't quite know how the "system" works [ please don't ask this of the least tech-savvy npc ] but I don't think so...
no subject
I'll look into it then.
[but - ]
Though I don't have much interest in dying, so it'd likely only be as an absolutely necessity.
[like if it's the last bit of nova they need to get home or something - but that's only if it actually ends up working]
So if we get it wrong, it generates less nova....
no subject
I believe the "system" no longer... recalls that you took a life? So it would be equal to voting for anyone else.
But that is correct.
no subject
no subject
I am not sure if "recall" or "forget" are the right words... but I don't fully understand how technology works.
no subject
[he knows enough that he thinks goat is wrong but that's okay, points for effort]
But I understand the sentiment. So there's no longer any merit in me admitting to anything.
no subject
Only if it would bring you any comfort to, I suppose.
no subject
[he's
in no rush]
Some may still feel it more morally righteous to condemn someone who took a life at all, and I'm not looking to be anyone's first choice for death.
no subject
... Mm. In the absence of answers, people will look to what is easiest.
no subject
[though he doesn't sound judgmental - he expects that much. and it's because he expects it that he intends to avoid it]
Rather, I think it more pressing to find more answers about who harmed Cater.
Could you tell me if you directed someone to kill another?
no subject
I did not.
no subject
[rather easily]
But it's a theory that's been passed around, given that some think that Virid was encouraged to kill. It's made me wonder if it's one of the Leaders, or something else.
no subject
So I have heard. You have all been asking us about that frequently.
no subject
Are we adding to the tension on accident?
no subject
It is no fault of yours. In any case, we won't let it distract us from our persisting duties, so do not worry in that regard.
no subject
I spoke with Swan - and they seemed to truly believe that it's unlikely that you'll all be able to get along.
no subject
I don't think ill of any of the others.
[ wow much surprise. at least two of the other npcs think goat is a moron but it's fine he's not quite aware of that. ]
