[ yeah you almost got scapegoated for slut crimes ]
Wonder if they left a slice on purpose, to keep things interesting. [ honestly? wouldn't surprise him right now! but that's fine. ] Bad timing on your part, though. It's a good thing no one asked any further questions.
[ we were all so distracted by fucking toblerone ] ...I can't say that I'm particularly bothered by much of it, today. Well - the circumstances of either, I suppose, but the outcome of who was chosen, too.
[I COULD'VE BEEN FREED BUT WE TOBLERONE'D TOO HARD
But he waves a hand.] It's fine, Endorsi was with me. I'm hardly someone she would needlessly cover for.
[Endorsi has no reason to lie for him. She barely knows him. Honestly, he doesn't necessarily expect anyone to lie for him; he barely expects anyone to tell the truth for him. People here are nicer to him than he's used to, but he's lived a hated life for too long to shake off the expectation of standing alone. If nothing else, he would've tapped Lust for it, but he had reasons for not speaking to them today.
But, hah, yeah. Childe's probably stretched out on his bed, and he snorts.]
No, neither am I. Though I'm curious to know who they'll pit against that robot tomorrow.
[He might be a little annoyed if they pick somebody he likes, but that's about the extent of his caring today.]
Did you vote this time?

I threw in a vote for Douman. I don't particularly think he did anything, but I'd rather not have someone around who eats evidence, whether it's supposedly a person or otherwise.
[ POINT BLANK.... distasteful (ha). that was gross. whatever, he really didn't care this week.
but, anyway! as for the rest of that... gu yun pauses, taking off his liuli glass to clean it on the silk of his robe, thinking it over. ]
As for the execution... from what I heard, last time Endorsi was chosen because she was a good match for Beau in terms of their combat skill. [ which absolutely ties into their theory about being watched, doesn't it. ] So, I suppose it will be someone who can put up a good show against the iron puppet.
I sparred against him last week, and won. It was in the simulation room. I'm not past the possibility that it could be myself.
[ me slamming the volunteer button 100mph yesterday ]
[Ah yes, Douman... what a funky clown doing funky clown things.]
Vlad's going to have to stop offending people if he doesn't want to land himself in a worse spot.
[He says that, but he's kind of laughing, in a way that makes it clear he doesn't think that will happen anytime soon. Literally how is Vlad still alive.
But he hums thoughtfully, glancing over with a grin.]
If it is, I'll be sure to come by and watch your performance. I love a good show.
[He doesn't think it's likely, but if Gu Yun dies in a really stupid way he's going to be annoyed.]
[ lol ] Agreed. He made a nearly fatal mistake at the trial, didn't he? I realize that we're all supposed to be prideful and that, but there's a time and a place to refuse to back down.
[ gu yun also looks amused at the idea, to be honest. second place vlad... ] If we continue this trend of people dying who aren't particularly well liked, I'm not sure how much longer he'll be around.
[ some very dark humor, but. he's more than aware that that's likely not going to happen. the longer they spend here, the more likely that the killings that occur from week to week will become more and more personal. indulgence, after all. and vlad is... well, he's an easy scapegoat.
to the last bit, gu yun glances over at childe, meeting his eyes - there's a glimmer to them, too. that fierce and ruthless marquis of order, slayer of a thousand armies. ]
Good. I promise, you'll be entertained. [ if it is him, gu yun has no intentions of dying. not today. not here. he has a wish to achieve. ] If it is me, it better not be a ridiculous obstacle course.
Insulting Wrath would've been a stupid way to go, but... ["but he isn't that smart lmao" is left unsaid. How novel it is to not be at the top of the collective hit list. Going back home is going to be a very strange experience.
Gu Yun in the obstacle course though... the idea has him laughing, because he's a jerk. Terrible.]
I'll hold you to it! But I'm hardly worried. In some ways, you don't disappoint.
But, he'll likely go in a stupid way. [ HE will say it it's fine.
gu yun reclines backwards though, laughing to himself, too, clearly not offended. ] I think I could easily say the same for you, though, so thanks. If it's you in there, try not to die, would you? I already thought I was going to have to defend your wax burns in public, and that was enough for me.
[ this is why no one would lie for him either, probably ]
Ah, I'm touched! [He says that, knowing perfectly well Gu Yun probably would've spun it in a way to make him look stupid in the process. FUCKING IDIOTS.] But you needn't have worried. If nothing else, I'm certain Wrath would've been delighted to stop by and embarrass me in public for a few minutes.
[He says that as if he actually gets embarrassed like. Ever.]

They were watching, after all. I hope they felt well defended.

Their collection of favorites is coming along nicely, I see.
