week 3, monday

[retellers]

[ suddenly, goat appears in the room! ]

Are you all right...? [ a beat. ] Um, you do remember me, right?

[ THE SCHWANN THING CONFUSES THEM ]

[laid]

[In retrospect he probably drew the worlds shittiest goat given he can't see it. And someone else had to explain to him what to do. And where. Being blind is hard.]

I do remember you. Our previous conversations are just a little fuzzy.
[Since they were with Raven, really, he thinks. Anyway;]

I've been worse. I came to ask you the same, actually. Given that there's three of our team dead now, apparently.

[retellers]

Oh. Well, I can remind you of what we talked about, if you need it...

[ maybe. no promises that goat's memory is great, except they have no excuse. ]

... You don't need to worry about me.

[laid]

[Well. As a seasoned question dodger, he knows a dodge when he sees one.]

That's not what I asked.
[He'll decide whether or not to worry after he's gotten a real answer.]

[retellers]

[ ...

calmly, ]

It is as the rules state.

[ so yeah, someone may or may not be killable on thursday night now. it's fine. ]

[laid]

[HM YEAH HE THINKS HE WILL BE WORRIED ACTUALLY?]

So is three the number of members you need to lose to be vulnerable on Thursday? Do you still have your magic otherwise?
[Your sword....]

[retellers]

... I don't have most of the abilities that the Realm provided me, such as the power to manifest items that were not already mine. I believe that I have lost those for good.

[ they can't get you more alcohol, schwaven ): ]

However, it seems I still retain my original powers--as long as it isn't on Thursday night.

[laid]

[It's fine only half of Schwaven has an alcohol problem and he's dead now.]

... Well. As long as you're able to conceal the abilities you've lost, the others shouldn't find out... I'd like to think no one would aim to kill one of the leaders anyway, but...
[WHO KNOWS ANYMORE!!!]

[retellers]

... I am less afraid for myself, and more for the other Leader who has also lost their powers.

But as long as none of the Leaders say anything, I don't think anyone will know. I don't believe any of us has a reason to make each other a target...

[laid]

I assume you won't tell me which leader that is?
[Ah, he shakes his head. It doesn't matter.]

More important is the number of kills each team has. Sharon said that Fox told her each one needs to do two?

[retellers]

[ ...

confused, ]

What?

[laid]

.....

[Hm?]

I would have thought Fox would have told the rest of you?

[retellers]

... No, I haven't heard anything about this.

[laid]

[CLOSES HIS EYES...]
Sharon did say she only heard this from Fox today, so... I suppose talk to the others when you next get the chance?

[In any case;]

I assume you delivering messages to the living for us would be out of the question?
[He doesn't know about the new messaging feature bc he can't fucking see. Idiot man.]

[retellers]

[ i'm crying ]

No... the pathway between the two dimensions isn't stable, so I can't promise that anything I carry would remain intact.

Though I think you can now send messages on the PHS...?

[laid]

[!!!??]

We can? To the people who are still alive?
[A beat;]

... I'm sorry, for some reason, when Laine and I woke up, we were unable to see.

[retellers]

... Ah. Yes, it seems everyone has lost a sense this week, including myself...

It shouldn't last longer than a week, though.

[laid]

... Well, that's good. That it's temporary, I mean.

What one did you lose, if you don't mind me asking?

[retellers]

My sense of taste. It is easy enough to conceal, at least.

[ no one will ever notice that goat is vulnerable now, maybe. ]

[laid]

So normally you'd be exempt from these effects?

[It's just because he's weakened now....]

[retellers]

Yes. None of the past effects worked on the Leaders, so far as I've noticed.

[laid]

[Wow the leaders could have been smooching all last week and didn't?? Zia should be the change she wants to see in the world herself.]

... Have you been trying out some hobbies, Goat?

[retellers]

[ they nod. ]

I've been watching birds and drawing like you suggested... though I'm not very good at it.

[laid]

No one is at first. But a hobby is more about enjoying yourself. Developing a new skill is just a bonus. When I started cooking I wasn't any good, either.

[retellers]

I'm not skilled in much, I think... but I will keep trying, then.

Are you a good cook now?
