[exhales a bit, but he looks. . . a bit torn about that response. but what Phoenix says afterwards catches his attention enough to prevent him from dwelling too much on this moral dilemma]

Which rule?

[also HA HA BUCK PASS YOU PRESUME AKIRA HAS A BRAIN CELL AT ALL]

[slobjection]

[ what happened to that maxed out knowledge!!! ]

"All guests must vote for a culprit to be executed for the sake of the house."

Apparently, it's not set in stone.

[white noise]







What?

[WHAT DOES THAT MEAN]

[slobjection]

[ akira please does he have to spell everything out for you!! ]

If we find a good enough alternative to contain these transformations.... execution might not be necessary.

If.

[YES SHUT UP AKIRA'S PLAYER IS STUPID]

Ah. Did you talk to one of the sisters about this?

[slobjection]

I wonder.

[ it's a yes or no question you cryptic fuck. ]

Either way, we don't know a thing about how these play out. Meltryllis herself made no secret of the fact that she's willing to kill as her regular self.... but I didn't get the same impression from Nikki.

[survivaltricks]

[HE'S GONNA TAKE IT AS A YES]

. . . no. I think. . . Nikki-san was a very kind person at her core.

I don't know Meltryllis-san at all. We haven't spoken beyond the words we exchanged at the trial.

[slobjection]

You were sleeping, but she talked a lot about how little human lives mattered to her and that killing them wouldn't be any skin off her nose. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

[survivaltricks]

[oh. . . charming??? CHARMING]

I don't think any of that means she deserves to die.

[she does not!! she is a person too!!!]

[slobjection]

Did I say that....?

[ did he!!! ]

But there's not much correlation between our two "monsters".

[survivaltricks]

[he didn't it's true!! a small huff]

You mean the rat and the dragon?

[slobjection]

That, and the girls themselves. What do you think?

[survivaltricks]

. . . [huh. that's interesting]

What about them? They're not monsters.

[slobjection]

Very different personality... and both transformed into different monsters. How did they get chosen, and why?

[survivaltricks]

I--

[i mean. he has no idea???]

I don't know. Pumpkin said something about someone's subconscious, so maybe. . . it's that?

[slobjection]

What did she say?

[survivaltricks]

Something about how the monster forms and the victims are chosen are affected by the person's subconscious.

[slobjection]

Oh...?

[ deets ]

[survivaltricks]

[he doesn't have deets, sadly]

That's all I know. I think that's why the monsters are so different. They're personalized to everyone who becomes one.

[slobjection]

Good to know. Now we just have to figure out the correlation and source.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah.

. . . and that's the difficult part.
