[and after everyone has chimed in. . .]

And I'm on Winter's team. You know that already. My job title is Safety Counselor. I can choose one person to protect each week. If they're targeted, I can intervene in the murder.

I'm allowed to try to intervene non-lethally, but whether that works is. . . [waggles. a hand] I haven't been able to test it out yet, so.

[looking. over at the other six]

And what these guys aren't saying-- what they can't say-- is that sometimes they're tasked with committing the weekly murders.

[chaoticlootral]

Oh. It would have been funnier if you’d let him try and struggle it out for an hour or so.

[survivaltricks]

[LISTEN]

[gives Taako a tired look]

[daifukus]

[ very seriously ]

We play darts.

[disreguarded]

[ okay - she laughs at that, despite being a grouch ]

[givethemhell]

[He's also fucking chuckling though it's kind of hysterical.]

[chaoticlootral]

[WE ARE ALL SO STUPID]

[survivaltricks]

[Y'ALL. . . . . . .]

[AN EXASPERATED HUFF]

[ruffboi]

How dare you. Where's your proof?

[survivaltricks]

-- oh. Sorry, excuse me.

You play darts.

[fishingforcompliments]

...we do literally play darts. But also, darts.

[shortforever]

[Yeah, that. That is a lot. And it takes him a moment to connect what 'darts' even means here. Thnx for that last push to that answer, Akira.]

Wait, so they- but why?

[DID HE GET TRICKED INTO JOINING THE MAFIA FOR A SECOND TIME???]

[disreguarded]

Clearly because we wanted to play darts and suffer this entire time we've been here.

[givethemhell]

[GENTLY TAKES BEAU'S HAND. AND PATS IT REPEATEDLY.]

[disreguarded]

[ STOP HER WEAKNESS

she sighs heavily, but she holds his hand. she's trying very hard to beauhave, wei wuxian. ]

[givethemhell]

[HE'S USING IT TO HIS ADVANTAGE NOW!!!!! Anyway he knows she's bean doing her best so he just gives her a little wry smile.]

[survivaltricks]

[NO!!! reaches out to place a hand on Chuuya's shoulder, steadying himself]

Think of it like the monsters back at the mansion, only. . . they're still themselves. And if someone doesn't die each week we all die, right. . .?

So it's like a failsafe to prevent a TPK. [well he doesn't know that for sure but that's what it seems like] Taako and Tonbokiri, and Wei Wuxian and Beau, have known about each other since the beginning. Flayn was working with Shinobu, but is now working with Magnus. Their separate groups didn't know about each other until Sunday.

And I didn't know about any of them until yesterday.

[ruffboi]

If you think about it - three teams of people throwing darts at the same bullseye, not knowing the other ones are there - somebody's gettin' a dart in the face there, huh?

[survivaltricks]

. . . yeah.

That's-- what happened to Sanji.

[his expression falls at that. he's glad Chuuya is Sanji's replacement, but he will never not be a little sad about Sanji]

[shortforever]

Knowing that, I'm amazed you all were able to come together as a group in the first place.

[How did you all not dart each other in the face more, it's a miracle.]

So, what now? I'm sure you all know what my role does already, and if you've already pieced together everyone's teams, then we just sit here playing darts? Or is there some point to it all?

[chaoticlootral]

When I’ve asked why we’ve had so many bodies each week, simply out of curiosity, the Directors have told me that it was a direction they recieved. That otherwise this game would take too long, week after week, probably on account of no one wanted to actually . . . play darts.

[chaoticlootral]

We also really do just play darts for prizes, that’s like, actually a thing.

[shortforever]

is that why purple team hasn't ever gotten a prize?

[daifukus]

[ ouch ]

[ruffboi]

Nah, that's 'cause Black Shadows is full of overachieving nerds. Totally unrelated. The prize we got last week for darts were those items from home.
