[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?

[AND AFTER EVERYONE HAS ARRIVED. . . Akechi unfurls his parchment to show everyone the notes he's taken thus far. wow! such notes!!]

I don't know how useful this information will be in the future, but perhaps some of it can help us understand this game a little more.

[Oh! She can actually help a little bit with this.

She'll flip to Cinderella and circle a finger around "Fairy God Mother"

"Partner".

Then she'll make a gesture at Lord El Melloi II, he's seen her do this particular gesture before.

Two fingers up on each hand, slashes through both middle fingers, tucks the middle fingers away. Put the two index fingers together.

Connect partnerless.]

[londonstar]

[ good lord that’s a lot to put together. waver hopes that his cherades skills are good enough to correctly interpret her. ]

I believe she’s implying that the fairy godmother is the one responsible for saving those that are partnerless. Like... tying loose strings together.

[doublecrows]

[oh thank god because Akechi definitely did not catch that]

Does she know who has that title?

[disclosures]

[THUMBS UP, Waver!!

She points at herself and the points to the word "partner" in the book in front of her.

Her partner.]

[londonstar]

Her partner. Lady Cardia, correct?

[disclosures]

[Nod! Yeah, that's her partner, and she's the fairy godmother.]

[doublecrows]

I see. So Miss Cardia.

Do you know if there are any restrictions on how many partnerless Narrators she can save?

[randori]

I knew Dave's objective, but that doesn't matter anymore...

[ looks to Akechi ]

I could proclaim my love to you?

[doublecrows]

You have to mean it.

[and yes, he clarified with the Crafters :/]

Words are meaningless if there is no warm feeling associated with "love" accompanying them.

[though to be fair, they didn't specify which kind of love]

[randori]

I mean it! I obviously love you a lot! I cried on you!!

[ HE HAS STRONG FEELINGS OF... SOMETHING............

platonic love, maybe, but maybe the Crafters will accept nothing but Akeichi ]

[doublecrows]

[. . . NATSUO!!!]

I-- crying doesn't seem like anything remotely close to "love?"

[NOT THAT AKECHI WOULD KNOW, BUT. . .]

[randori]

It's proof of emotion! Haven't you ever loved something so much you started crying??

[ or, taking a step back, have you ever loved? ]

[doublecrows]

[uh]

I believe it's time we change the subject, don't you, Natsuo-san?

[disclosures]

[While Natsuo is here she points to herself before tapping

onto his hand.]

[randori]

[ Heal... forget...? ]

Then, you need to talk to Hikage!

[ ??? the limitations of morse code: Natsuo has no idea what you mean ]

[disclosures]

[Shakes her head!

[randori]

There's no way I would forget something important like that!! Was I asleep? Maybe if I was sleeping?

[...]

I have more information than this, though I suppose for now I will begin with objectives.

Fane's objective is to spread baseless rumors. Souji's is to execute two in those farcical executions. Clearly, neither of them has any intentions of doing so. My own is to restrain someone and allow them to be killed. I do not intend to do that one, either.

[londonstar]

Tasteless.

[ waver grimaces ]

However, baseless rumors are not that difficult and are not necessarily harmful. [ he smirks ] The Crafters deserve some about them.

[disilluded]

... I wonder if that would count. I did not get the exact details out of him, but it is worth suggesting.

[Hmm...!!]

[londonstar]

We wouldn't lose anything by trying. If anything, it would be quite nice to get back at them, if only a little.

[ he's so petty. So. Petty. ]

[doublecrows]

[. . . well, Akechi is gonna be that asshole]

You have no intention of carrying out your objective?

Isn't it our job to ensure they're completed?

[historian objectives included!!]

[disilluded]

You expect me to do such a thing? Regardless of if that is what they tell us to do or not.

[Bah.]

I am not sold on doing what they are asking of us to begin with. I have yet to receive a straight answer on what the "happy ending" they are promising is. It is certainly not worth an innocent life.
