[ Your own room is fairly nondescript, the walls washed in your unit's colors. There are chairs here, but no beds nor tables.

You can make your own toplevels for discussion. ]

[ In your private room, you see the following message written in blood along the walls:

[idolpro]

[ On the opposing wall is the same blanked out paragraph in the lobby, written in blood:

The woman was killed with a ______ in the ______. The killers did so because______. In order to hide the body, they ______; she was found months later in the basement.

Underneath are pins with every unit's color and name on them. You understand that you must put the appropriate unit pin to the blank, in order to vote.

You must vote as a unit. ]

[completely deflating as he sighs . . . ]

Four. It's always going to be four.

[maleficafe]

[her eyes are a little red around the edges, like she's been crying]

What do you mean?

[theyregooddogs]

[instantly catching that]

Lavender.

[youpoorthing]

[A room full of cheerful people.]

...Four?

[maleficafe]

[sniffles]

Yeah?

[theyregooddogs]

No, sorry. Um, I'm trying to put it together. It's a, there's a way for everyone to come out — Mm, "okay"?

[theyregooddogs]

[glances off, making an ineffectual noise, before inhaling and holding his arms open in an awkward but universal gesture of "come have a hug"]

[phoni]

[ looks tired, twisting a ring around her finger. ]

Mmm... There's no chance for everyone to make it out unharmed.

[theyregooddogs]

There is. But it's hard, almost impossible.

[youpoorthing]

...There is? Aren't the losers going to die either way?

[stares]

[phoni]

-How?

[maleficafe]

[and quickly closes the distance, pressing her face to his chest, shoulders quietly trembling]

[theyregooddogs]

Yeah, I was trying to, mm, puzzle it out. [shaking his head] It's fine. Forget it.

[theyregooddogs]

[shaking his head]

No, I was, I was wrong. I can't piece it out. Sorry.

[theyregooddogs]

[a beat, then closing his arms in and half-pats her back, you're . . . fine]

[youpoorthing]

[...]

...Okay. If you say so.

[theyregooddogs]

Sorry. What do you want to do?

[maleficafe]

[she doesn't break down, just holds onto him for a bit, fingers curled tightly in his shirt.

eventually she relaxes and leans back, wiping her eyes with her sleeve]

... thanks.

[phoni]

No, it's- You don't have to apologize for that.

[ if he's paying attention, her eyes are also a bit bloodshot - though she isn't as upset as Lavender. ]

...What do you think we should do? Or anyone else think, for that matter.

[theyregooddogs]

[this is more awkward, p-putting a hand in his pocket]

Yeah.

[theyregooddogs]

No idea. Some people are talking about how many from each team is here. Vote for units with less members present. But the category of the clues sort of puts different units against each other.

[youpoorthing]

...Um...

...It says we can help another unit if we lie, but only if we win... and lying will probably make it harder for everyone, so...?

[Doesn't sound like he's entirely sure he's got things straight. It also doesn't sound like he's considering LiliS's safety over the other units, but that's probably a given.]
