[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.

Two of the three people that know I am a Historian are dead. [ take a guess who they were. ] The other one wants me dead because of yesterday's events.

There are risks posed with whichever option we take, of course. If they find out it came from us, then it'll paint us as liars. But if we use the title of Historians, then we may cause some sort of backlash from those that are unwilling to trust us.

[disclosures]

There's only one person who knows what I am. ... I might tell Cardia tonight though.

If we go with "The Historians" then can we offer one of us forward a spokesperson? Or is that against the rules?

[doublecrows]

Against the rules. That's why I had Varian-san share my letter.

We cannot share our titles in public.

[disclosures]

Ugh. Fine. Okay.

What do we say to make them believe we all want a happy ending?

[randori]

It's a "happy ending." Of course people are going to want that?

[disclosures]

They might want it, but they're suspicious of us.

We're the enforcers and we've been working in secret from the beginning.

[randori]

We weren't forcing anybody to do anything, and... ugh... Is it too late to pretend we all worked alone and didn't know about each other? Until recently?

[ he hates lying and sucks at it, but this is just sort of stretching the truth? lessening the blow ]

[disclosures]

We could lie, but I don't know if anybody would believe it.

[doublecrows]

Why don't we utilize both?

[ah?]

We admit we are Historians, but we also claim we're passing on a message from Beauty and the Beast. Others have already received letters from them, yes? They could even write to Beauty and the Beast to confirm what we've posed in public.

[disclosures]

That might be the best option we've got right now.

[londonstar]

It would certainly pack a bigger punch. They'll believe what the Beauty and the Beast with much more ease.

[ he nods ]

I agree with this. Do you wish to write the letter, Akechi?

[doublecrows]

[he taps his cheek thoughtfully. . . then nods]

I'll do my best. Please give me a moment to draft something from their perspective, properly edited and all.
