[recrowns]

[oh.]

Yes - if you could.

We won't be able to read very well in the dark here.

[retellers]

Very well, then. [ manifesting his sword (does he even really need it for this? no), he slashes at the air, creating a vacuum/tear/what have you in space for them to step through. walking into it will eventually take them to goat's room in the castle. ]

[recrowns]

[soo-won will head over! and in the better light it's obvious that he's uh, tired, but at least better than the day before. he smiles as they make it to goat's room and he tilts his head]

Should we add more decorations? Maybe I can bring you flower wreaths to put on the walls....

[retellers]

If you want. I have no need for material items. [ goat is apparently unbothered by his empty room, as his sword dissipates. ]

[recrowns]

Have you ever gotten a gift from a friend before?

[soo-won just doesn't like that there's only a COFFIN in here]

[retellers]

[ he pauses, before he pulls out a few sheets of paper. ] I've received these?

[recrowns]

.... are these -

Stars? Emblems?

[retellers]

I'm not sure, but they were gifts offered when calling for me on different occasions.

[recrowns]

[there's just

a little laugh at that]

They are rather cute.... Maybe you could display them like art? It makes me want to get more creative about what I bring you too....

[retellers]

[ glad that neither of them knows what a summoning circle is ] I still do not require anything... but I will consider it.

[recrowns]

[nope! :D]

Mm, I'll see what other things I can bring too.

How are you feeling otherwise, my friend? No surprise new memories, right?

[retellers]

[ he shakes his head. ] No. I apologize if that disappoints you.

[recrowns]

No, it's more like I'm not sure if you'd tell me if I didn't ask.

I don't mind.

[retellers]

Mm. Well, I am the same as I was at the start of this week.

[recrowns]

Then I'll consider that good news.

I wanted to talk to you about a few different revelations and information I received this week.

The first being - do you have any idea why the removed seem to be asking for the 'Goats' to be protected?

[retellers]

[ he tilts his head, blinking. ] I do not. Though I don't believe that the removed are necessarily privy to any information that the rest of you aren't, so keep in mind that everything is merely their own conjecture.

[recrowns]

It seems like they at least seem to know their killers - Raven sent something to Hikaru telling her not to trust Hilda and Vezda....

While I can guess that Cater revealed Hilda - it makes me wonder if that means Raven himself has a reason not to trust Vezda.

[retellers]

Perhaps, perhaps not. I could not say--people can have any number of reasons to distrust others, and for reasons less drastic than death.

[recrowns]

That's not wrong either...

[he just looks a little tired]

.... have you gone to visit the removed yourself, Goat? Since I heard that it's apparently a bit hard to get to them....

Do you know what might be causing the messages to be difficult to read?

[retellers]

The pathway is unstable, as it has been from the start. Nothing is guaranteed to pass through safely, whether it be us, items, messages, or memories.

[recrowns]

Memories?

[huh]

What do you mean by that...?

[retellers]

When we pass through, there is a risk that our memories may be damaged in the process. That is all. Perhaps it is similar for that device. It forgets part of the messages as it carries them...? [ that's not how technology works exactly but it's fine goat doesn't know that ]

[recrowns]

Ah...

[the thing is that soo-won doesn't see a reason to correct him. it's cool. goat's cute.]

I see. No wonder you keep it to a minimum.

.... then perhaps you just have fans among the removed.

[retellers]

Perhaps. I don't know why, but everyone--here as well--has been very kind to me, even those not on my team.

[recrowns]

Admittedly, you are someone who's very easy to like.

[he's not going to flinch away from that]
