Mm, I think... if it was because Yona was splintering, it was either someone who was already out that night, or someone who spoke to Mob before curfew.
[ so not planned in advance. ]
Mob was definitely splintering, but if it was a secondary case, then someone could've—maybe saw him acting weird and felt like they needed to do something about it.
[ a primary and secondary splintering share all of the same symptoms, so it would be an easy mistake to miss. ]
...Since it was a typical splintering and not anything really bizarre, we should be able to track down which team did it.
[he is so subtle. hilda gets a glance in her direction at zuko's question? but otherwise soo-won won't answer]
.... then I can attempt to keep looking into Shigeo's murder. I'll be asking both Swan and Fox teams today whether they intend on acting, and what I can do to take some of the burden off of them.
My other question is on if either of you heard the details from either group who went on their... adventure this week.
I wouldn't be that confident. [because dana is still be backtagging]
Even still, what did you hear, Zuko?
At the very least, it sounds like there's more credence to the idea that we've done this all before - in almost a loop of time, where our memories are erased as we begin again.
Goat did confirm that for me today, though they weren't able to provide new information.
[soo-won glances over and honestly he might've already seen this but (gestures in pc timelines)
regardless! of whether he has or he hasn't! he doesn't look surprised]
Yes, this sounds like us.
Swans will act next week for certain, we just need to ensure that Foxes do. I'll be working on that tonight and tomorrow. Even if it means going out with one of them myself and ensuring they deal the final blow.
[ there's been talk of time loops—even rabbit mentioned as much. but for it to be their final chance...
they really can't afford to muck this up. she sits back, troubled. ]
Have they really not gotten two kills? [ was shigeo done in by a wolf? it feels aching in its pointlessness. ] I think... if anyone should go out, it'd be safer to send a Rabbit.
[there's a nod at that. but even so... it's not like soo-won can condemn anyone for their resistance. not when he understands that's just what it means to value a human life.
he thinks that everything will turn out alright.
he just also thinks pushing the matter will seem heartless.]
.... they should be alright. I've been assured that they won't fail - they may just need a little bit more time to come to terms with it, and organize.
[ enough people know what's going on, and the teams are familiar enough with each other that it's all doable.
it's a little unnerving to leave everything in other people's hands this late into the game, but she's not so worried they'll screw it up. still, she lets out a long, deep exhale. ]
...It's hard, even knowing we're all supposed to come back.

[ very subtle, zuko. he's working on asking around already, but he just nods grimly to soo-won. ]
If she asks me, I'll let you two know.

[ so... hopefully a swan or a fox, so it wasn't totally pointless. ]
I haven't heard much, sorry. [ because i've done like 3 tags this week ]
no subject
I asked, but I didn't... well, I don't really know what to make of what I heard. You probably know more than me, Won.

[ she just assumed that past participants are. dead. ]
It does sound like some sort of cycle—hopefully we've avoided making the same mistakes...
no subject
[ zuko shows them a copy of this. ]
... And this really is our last chance. One of the groups found this.

They haven't. [ i thought i tagged this ] ... Won... if you could tell one of your foxes to talk to me, I'd appreciate that. I can help out, too.
no subject
Mm. I can pass the message on. I believe as things become a matter of necessity... they will act - even if they take no joy in doing so.
But I'm afraid that is the result that we have come to.
no subject
[ it's become everyone's responsibility, but in the end it's fox's team that has to pull the trigger. ]
no subject
I don't think their numbers are great, anyway. So they need to make sure they're covered.
[ this binch thinks there's like three foxes or sthg ]
