... I cannot explain much, as it pertains to the details of Xie Lian's ability, and so he should be the one to say--but as I have told him, I don't think so. I don't believe Hikaru was splintering.
[ once they're deep enough into the forest, he removes his mask. ]
Oh, that's probably just a remnant from when everyone destabilized the Realm from breaking the rules. Back then, we fixed it enough so that it won't collapse, but it's not as if we could fully undo the damage.
[ it's been like that for weeks, goat team just sucks and never got anything until now ]
I'd been told that in order to ensure that the removed can be revived, all teams need to accomplish their two kills each by the Thursday after this one.
I was wondering if the Leaders might suddenly know why the situation has shifted.

and soo-won will just head for the forest]
... I heard that there's a chance that two people had their nova splintering this past week.
no subject
no subject
He'd told me that he thought that it might be something else but... given the severity of her condition -
[soo-won wasn't sure what else it could've been]
Do you know what it was?
no subject
But at the very least, based off how the power given to Xie Lian should work, I don't think it was that.
no subject
How odd...
Do we believe that the problem might be getting worse, then? If something so out of our control is happening?
no subject
no subject
Though - I did find it odd that the message I received about nova collection looked a bit odd today.
[why was it glitched!]
no subject

[ it's been like that for weeks, goat team just sucks and never got anything until now ]
no subject
Ah, I see.
Then - there's no additional updates regarding the monster either, correct?
[just to check]
no subject
[ goat team is doing their best and goat loves you all ]
No. As far as we can tell, it's still the same.
no subject
And this information I'm hearing today about why we only have two weeks remaining if we're to revive all the dead?
Are we suddenly under a time constraint?
no subject
[ goat gives him a distinctly blank look of "i don't know what you're talking about." ]
no subject

I was wondering if the Leaders might suddenly know why the situation has shifted.
no subject
Um... I don't know anything about this.
[ friendly reminder that goat is the useless npc ]
no subject
soo-won is just going to give his hand a gentle squeeze then]
Then I'll find an answer and report it back to you - but if you hear anything about it, please tell me as well.
And I had another request.
no subject
[ ... ]
What is it?
no subject
[easily
and:]
When it becomes your turn to notice the splintering nova... I'd like you to task me with it, over Xie Lian or Usagi.
no subject
[ he's quiet for a while. ]
If you're certain, and if I do notice, I can do so.
no subject
Mm. I'm certain.
Xie Lian's role is protective, and he shouldn't be put in jeopardy for the sake of getting a trial right in the name of nova collection.
Usagi might shatter if she is asked to harm another.
So I would like it if you could entrust the duty to me.
no subject
I certainly wasn't going to ask it of Usagi, if it came to happen.
... Truthfully, I would prefer to do it myself if I could, but that isn't an option... so, very well.
no subject
[and he likes goat, so very much - so he does appreciate it]
But if trouble comes to find us... please rely on me.
no subject
... I do not like killing--for any reason--but it is even worse to leave it in the hands of others, and ask that they carry that burden instead.
But I understand.
no subject
... well, what's one more burden?
At the very least, it will ensure that only one of us in your care has to dirty their hands.
[soo-won can get both kills for the team, it's fine]
no subject
Just because you already carry many burdens, Soo-won, does not mean I should freely ask more of you.
no subject
[somehow he has the nerve to sound gently teasing]
