[Week 2, Tuesday: Waver, Sousei, Rebecca, Natsuo]

[doublecrows]

[AND SO, history repeats itself, and the long-awaited reunion of the past murder game's alumni occurs. . .]

[. . . in the library!1]

[Akechi is already there by the time people start filing in, his parchment sitting in his lap, quill tucked between his fingers. he doesn't say anything at first, but PRESUMING at some point he and Natsuo exchanged Historian names with each other and then told the others who was part of this group so they'd all know prior to the meeting, he nods at each one in turn]

I imagine you all have been quite busy these past two weeks?

[She opens up one of the books

"hope" "makes" "game" "finish".]

[doublecrows]

[ah. . . okay, truthfully, Akechi hadn't even thought that the completion of objectives might've helped bring the game to a close. but that's because he sucks, and just wants whatever reward was promised him for playing his role]

It's a possibility. It's difficult to say, without the Crafters confirming or denying same.

[disclosures]

[Her own selfishness is why she's doing her objective right now instead of putting it off.

But seeing the strain all of this is putting Natsuo through... she wants it to end. Even if she has little to no affection to the other people in the castle.

"Mermaid" "can't" "ask"

Or Rebecca literally can't ask them that this week. Maybe next week, though she doesn't expect an actual answer.]

[doublecrows]

There's always next week.

[even if he's convinced he won't be surviving the week, the other four will probably be juuuust fine]

[disclosures]

["If" "Live"

She doesn't really have anybody after her head, as far as she knows. But she didn't think anybody wanted Dave dead either. Just because she doesn't know somebody wants to kill her doesn't mean it won't happen.

Plus Natsuo is partnerless, she doesn't know if what happened with the doll last week will happen again.]

[doublecrows]

[. . . right. "if live," indeed. Akechi just kind of gives the book she's using to communicate a dead look, before he continues on]

Certainly, all five of us won't die by next Monday.

[disclosures]

[She winces and holds up two fingers, then three fingers.

Two deaths the first week.

Three people died last week.

What if it keeps going up?]

[doublecrows]

[ah. well. Akechi hadn't considered that possibility]

I don't know. It's possible the amount of victims could increase, but hat might depend on this week's Blotters.

[disclosures]

["two" "each" "time"

There should be two Blotters each time. But there could be multiple murders committed.

Of course those words could also be construed as "two inevitable deceased each week".]

[doublecrows]

. . . yes. That's correct. The victim of the Blotters, and the person we executed at the trial.

[disclosures]

["partners" "survive"

Every single time, every one of the partners have been tied together instead of dying alongside their partners.]
