[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack.

You're wearing raggedy, blodostained versions of your uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME% in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly leveled to the ground, with few survivors.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

[haha he hates this]

Anyone you'd suggest?

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

[she hates this, just going to keep holding herself]

The cat. There are only two. And whomever has a wild side . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

I wouldn't mind voting for the cat...

[ he's just sitting there trying to figure out what's what, but that one seems pretty straightforward. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[we_meet_again]

...

Okay. I can get behind that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

It could be Sabre, especially if she's not the one that wrote it up. It could be Zrael trying to make her more, ah, ... [ appealing. ] friendly.

[ though the same could be said for kohime, so hm... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

[it's probably kohime???? but close enough?]

Even if it is Avante, that would not be a bad choice?

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

No. [ shakes his head. ] I have spoken to Kohime a couple of times, and I think she might need more, ah, ... I don't think Sabre needs as much help being personable. [ cough. ] But either way, I'm fine with trying to save either of them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

Yes, but it is all that we have.

Re: DISCUSSION

[we_meet_again]

[It's probably kohime. Or maybe even Noah for all we know.]

...

[he's going to go find a place to sit down while waiting for the results.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

[. . . yeah, going to come sit near but not touching, legs underneath her and still holding herself]

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

[ do either of you mind if he also comes over... ? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

[as long as there isn't touching, yeah, welcome to join]

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

[ no touching unless she initiates. he'll just sit alongside her otherwise. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

[glancing at him and cobalt, but she can't bring herself to participate, just going to hold tighter]

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

[ he'll offer her his other hand. ] If you'd rather not, I understand, but you don't have to worry about this all on your own. We can share the burden of our decision and worry about our friends together.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

We have no control over this. I am simply frightened.

[ . . . takes awhile, but she eventually grabs to hold onto it]

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

[ squeezes her hand. ]

Waiting is always the hardest part, and I agree. Trying to decipher these blurbs is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. I'm worried about our friends, and we have plenty.

Re: DISCUSSION

[we_meet_again]

[Cobalt's gonna pat Yugi's head.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

[ thanks, cobalt, he'll reach out and offer a hand to him. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[we_meet_again]

[He holds his hand and gives it (what he hopes is) a reassuring squeeze.]

One way or another, this game will end.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

[ nods. he's going to hold on to that thought. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[we_meet_again]

[and then he falls through a trap door

BYE]
