[Week 5, Sunday: Waver, Rebecca, Natsuo]

[doublecrows]

[he knows that Waver is. . . probably not in the best state of mind at the moment. but what Akechi has to share is Important with a capital I. and so, soon after the execution, he gathers up the remaining Historians and ushers them to the library for an information sharing session]

I apologize for the short notice, and the. . . [waves. a hand] Timing of this meeting.

But I've discovered how to reach a "happy ending" for this game. I've also learned about the other extra titles, much like our own, that exist in this war game.

I'd rather not wait until Monday to tell you all.

[and after a while. . .! Akechi stands up with a piece of parchment in hand, words scrawled all over it]

How is this?

To the Narrators:

We are the group known as the Historians. We understand the Dragon made you all suspicious of us when she announced our existence. Despite that, we're asking you to trust us. We're here to help you reach your happy ending.

One of us has been in contact with Beauty and the Beast. We want to share part of the letter they wrote to them with all of you, to stress the importance of completing objectives. Here is what they said:

"To achieve a █████ ██████ and ████ ██ from the █████ ████, each faction ████ complete ██ █████ seven objectives."

As Historians, we're aware that the Hero faction has completed a lot more than seven objectives. Civilians and Villains, you guys need to step it up! We know your objectives might suck, but we need you to work with us. Our objective is to get you your happy ending.

No matter what your suspicions towards us might be, please at least trust our intentions. Thank you for your time.

Good luck, everyone.

"We know your objectives might suck?"

[ waver chuckles, despite himself. ]

I feel we need to add the word 'happy' in the 'letter' from Beauty and the Beast just to emphasize which ending we're going towards. It's not that I doubt the intelligence of this group, but as the weeks pass and paranoia rises, it becomes easier to misunderstand even the simplest things.

[ a pause. ]

Other than that, I think it's quite good.

[doublecrows]

A far more colloquial way to put it than I would.

[hiding one's usual writing style ftw! he edits the sentence]

"To achieve a happy ██████ and ████ ██ from the █████ ████, each faction ████ complete ██ █████ seven objectives."

[and seems pleased with himself]

Then this will do.

[londonstar]

Perfect.

[ despite everything that happened to him, waver feels a little bit of relief. there's still some hope for this stupid game. ]

Who shall we send this to, then? Varian seems quite good as a spokesperson so far.

[doublecrows]

He does, although if we choose to do this, then I might as well deliver it to him myself. He'll know the part about Beauty and the Beast is a lie, but I'm certain it's a lie he'll be willing to tell.
