[he laughs a bit at that]

"Unintentionally"?

Well the primary goals remains to see if there's a way to stabilize all of this - preferably with less bloodshed rather than more. The secondary reason is that my leader and I are friends.

[evocationary]

[ she gestures at her face. ]

Have you seen me? People just trip all over themselves to tell me things. [ this is half a joke. ] You are a friend making machine, huh?

My leader refuses to admit they like me but I know they do.

[recrowns]

Mm, I believe that too. You're very reliable.

[but he laughs a bit and - ]

Is it Wolf?

[evocationary]

Wow, got it in one. Please don't tell me I look like a wolf girl, that's about a step above horse girl and I have a carefully constructed image to uphold.

[recrowns]

[sdflksdjf

he shakes his head]

No, they just seem like the most unlikely to admit when they're fond of someone.

My leader is Goat.

[there, fair trade]

[evocationary]

That's what you call a tsundere.

But - god, I would've guessed Swan. Guess it is randomized. I haven't talked to Goat yet, actually. I should. [ she tilts her head to the side. ] Did they tell you to go find out teams?

[recrowns]

Tsundere...

[another one for the dictionary

but he just laughs a little bit at that]

Goat is very kind - I would appreciate it if you'd speak to them, and be nice. They're a little clumsy, but it's endearing.

But no, they didn't. I'm trying to see whether something they said to me possessed any truth.

[evocationary]

[ and be nice, he says. that is a TALL ASK, but she huffs. ]

Sure. I'll put it on my to-do list - what kind of bribe should I give them? [ ... ] Annnnd what is it they said to you?

[recrowns]

I'm rather sure they'd appear for anything - even a flower is fine. They don't need to eat or drink, but they'll have a little bit of whatever you give them.

[goat is

so nice and soo-won thinks they're so cute]

They'd said that things were a bit tense in the castle since the weekend - which sounds appropriate. There's some worry that one of the leaders might've encouraged Virid to do what he did. So I'd like to ask those on other teams to ascertain if there's any truth in that.

[evocationary]

Wolf just held the cinnamon roll I passed them the whole time and refused to put it down or eat it.

[ wolf is stupid and lup loves them, tbh ]

But, uh. Yeah, that's what Wolf told me, too. Basically they said the only thing that could've influenced the Realm to lock us down and knock us out was a team leader. [ sigh. ] Someone else told me Virid was asked to kill Hajime specifically. Not an entirely buckwild theory to assume he and his team leader worked together to make it happen.

[recrowns]

[that's so funny why don't our leaders eat anything

but that's

something]

Someone told you that Virid was directed to kill Hajime? Why?

[evocationary]

[ shrug ]

All I know is Virid was told to kill her, and that when he was told the reason why, he didn't disagree. The kid was cagey even before he was removed.

Though he sure wasn't fuckin' cagey about letting everybody know they can get their memories back if they kill a man, huh? Of all the times to not shut up.

[recrowns]

Hm.... so he was given orders to kill, and then didn't hesitate. [well that's something!] I want to say it's so that he could get his memory back, but what's the point of not getting into it in private, but disclosing it in public.

[he cants his head to the side]

It seems as though one team leader knows something that the others don't, then.

[evocationary]

[ she's still vaguely skeptical just because she's not sure if everything lines up neatly, but... ]

Seems like it. [ a sigh. ] I wish we could definitively say what nova is. I feel like knowing what it is and what it's doing for the Realm might help?

[recrowns]

Something something magic something related to memories.

[and he offers up a small smile]

If you can't decipher the nature of it, then I'm afraid I might be out of my depth. [as a non-magic]

Though I did also hear that a large amount of nova was generated on Saturday - it seems as though strong emotions, both negative and positive, generate nova. So I've been told that another option is to build our bonds with one another.

[fwiiiiiiendship]

[evocationary]

It'd help if I could like, look at it --

[ she grumbles, and then. that last part. ] Fuck! No, I refuse, because that means I'm going to have to owe Taako money and that cannot happen!

[ this is like 99% a joke but also god dammit the power of friendship ]

[recrowns]

I will pay your debt to Taako.

[DO NOT JUST VOLUNTEER]

[evocationary]

[ alkjksjdkfjs ]

You do not want to owe him. Trust me.

Also, what if the debt was like - a million dollars? Don't just volunteer.

[recrowns]

[a beat, like he's unsure how much a million dollars is, but he'd consider paying it if he was aware]

If you say so.

But I would like to generate nova sooner rather than later, Lup.

[evocationary]

[ a pause. ]

That's, uh. Did you mean for that to sound so foreboding? If you're going to stab me, at least let me write a dramatic letter to leave behind.

[recrowns]

[sdflkjsdfkl he's laughing]

No, no - I meant that I'd like your help to generate it using the other method, regardless of whatever bet you have with your brother.

Why would I ever stab you?

[evocationary]

[ she looks amused. ]

I don't know, maybe you're the kind of dude that'd take advantage of our level three friendship to stick a knife in my back. I've only known you a week and a half. [ sniff. ] What did you have in mind?

[recrowns]

[he shakes his head at that]

I'm not so much in a rush that I'd put blood on my hands over it...

[time is precious but so is life? wow]

We can share together - or if you'd be open to sharing with others...

[evocationary]

I'm picky about my sharing. [ she says, folding her arms. ] But I could be convinced to share with you, Bougie.

[recrowns]

[AW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!













he has to say it]

You're very cute, Lup.
