[oh my GOD this is NOT what he expected to hear when he asked her what she found???? OH MY GOD]

[I'm sorry please don't mind him bluescreening for like, a solid sixty seconds]

[vigilantics]

[ haha yeah, winter cabin was a Time. ]

... it'll be easier to tell once we see the theater for all of the other places to see if anyone else is missing. Hal, the host from the cowboy town wasn't there either. But for now, it just seems to be those two until we get to see the Shibuya stuff to confirm.

[ luckily, all three of the bats have been watching the theater movies so they were actually able to keep track of this. ]

[survivaltricks]

[haha!! he was sure it is!!]

[with a sharp exhale, Akira lifts a hand to place it over his heart, his expression twisting]

Blue wasn't human. They were. . . not exactly a god, but something similar to one. I'd be shocked if there was anything out there other than an eldritch house powerful enough to restrain them.

And if the sisters are here, then there is no way they aren't doing whatever they can from the outside to get in.

[vigilantics]

The other noticeable thing about them is that they were all wearing white scrunchies. I'm going to ask Winter what they mean, since I need to go to them anyway to... um. Apologize.

[ FOR BREAKING INTO THEIR CABIN....... ]

[survivaltricks]

[white scrunchies. . . huh. Akira frowns, brows furrowed, but for now he focuses on the second part of what Steph said]

. . . so you broke into her cabin then, huh?

[IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME]

[btw usage of "her" is purposeful]

[vigilantics]

[ she raises an eyebrow at that, but her expression doesn't really change other than that. ]

Yeah. Lots of really personal stuff, like when they broke into Heart's. We found their rule book, too.

[survivaltricks]

[a nod]

Yeah. . . the personal stuff isn't surprising, but the fact that the people from our last games are being kept in there is.

What's her rulebook say?

[vigilantics]

... a lot of the stuff they've been telling us, basically. Everything from them having to wear costumes, to tasks, to those weird wedding events we do are in there. They can't give us any answers or even hints. They must make sure there's a death every week, or else all of us die. Things like that.

[survivaltricks]

[god. he lifts a hand to rub at the uninjured side of his face, exhaling sharply]

Being a proctor sucks. How'd they get the shittiest position out of all of us here. . .?

[vigilantics]

Apparently... something happened. Like, before we all got here. I guess the three of them maybe did something like we're going through with breaking into stuff? I dunno. I'll have to ask Winter about that, too, I guess.

[survivaltricks]

[well. . . hm]

Heart told me the three of them broke into the form surveillance cabin, though they also said that the cabin's inside looked way different than it did for Giyuu and his group.

[so maybe that's it. . .?]

[vigilantics]

I just know that they got really injured from it, so maybe.

[survivaltricks]

. . . yeah. That's the one, then.

[nodding]

Heart said they and Winter took what should have been a fatal blow during that break in. For some reason their bodies changed so they heal a lot faster than us, so what should have been a fatal blow-- wasn't.

[FUNCTIONALLY IMMORTAL HOSTS]

[vigilantics]

Yeah, Winter was very...

[ hm ]

We read their diary. So.

[survivaltricks]

[. . .]










Talk about an invasion of privacy.

[vigilantics]

Shut up. They were already reading it by the time I noticed.

[ ..... so at that point she might as well, too ]

[survivaltricks]

And what did you do to protect her privacy?

[POINTED STARE]

And here Belph told me that you two were close.

[vigilantics]

[ SQUINTS ]

What else did Belph say?

[survivaltricks]

Winter said way more than Belph did, for what it's worth.

[lol]

Winter told me that she told one of you from the castle on Monday, but Belph said that circumstances change and it was likely that the rest of you knew now, too.

[a beat]

Well, he isn't sure about Yasusada, but he was confident about you.

[vigilantics]

[ she sighs. ]

I've known about her for a few weeks now.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah, me too. About. . . three weeks, I'd say. Though Belph told me that you knew right after what happened with. . . Evan.

[aha]

She swore me to secrecy so I haven't been talking about it. It was only this Monday that I finally asked if she had shared it with any of you.

[vigilantics]

The kiss was kind of...

[ hm. she shakes her head. ]

But yeah, same. Belph flat out asked me if it was her, but I didn't want her to get stabbed or something.

[survivaltricks]

Aaaand neither did I.

[protect Winter 2020. . .]

I was afraid to even let on that I knew anything about her. But it sounds like they're have a little more wiggle room to share now.

[vigilantics]

Yeah. The further along we get, the more we can do and learn, it seems.

[survivaltricks]

[SNORTS]

Unsurprising, considering how things worked in all of our past games.
