[ awful. they're being cursed into behaving like normal people around each other.
anyway he's just not paying attention to anything but business. ]
Not sure yet. Likely not the medbay, because I don't want to be too repetitive, but we might as well keep up our winning streak. Morale is good for the troops. And besides, I think what was used this morning was a prank, but if it wasn't, then I'd rather have the person who did it eliminated.
[ to be fair he would probably think this anyway. every one of these effects that doesn't cause like, PAIN is stupid. what is the point!!! fucking MAGIC
anyway. very nonchalantly. ]
I suppose the idea of eliminating someone who helped to set a very clever trap. It was Molly and Harrow's doing, and cursing Harrow with such a thing is almost too cruel. Cursing Molly with it causes a big show, and prevents Harrow from having the more personable side of setting a trap. [ because harrow is not very personable. love that girl. ]
Like I said, I do think it's a prank, so that chance is slim. There are still six people who didn't step forward with identification of their powers - not that I trust the word of the people who did, entirely, of course.
But he shrugs at that logic. Fair enough. White's an odd choice for anything but a prank, so he's inclined to agree, but he also doesn't know who was in possession of the love arrows and doesn't particularly care, so.]
If it was a prank, I think it was Eleanor. Of the powers that remained - six who didn't step forward, and six incomplete groups - there were two of the arrows. She mentioned that she had something that could be used to play a harmless joke, and the other powers were blindness, 'oliver twist', and irrational jealousy. Seems logical it was probably the arrows.
[ so. just a stupid prank, if that is the case. ] It's the other person who's the wild card, so who knows.
[ a beat. he sighs. ] I hate this week and we're barely a few hours into it. Can't believe I have to --
enjoy spending quality time with you. [ looks into the camera like this is the office. ]
I can see that. Though I feel I should point out-- [A pause, as he reworks what he was going to say.] --that a whole group being reticent might be unwise.
[Y'all shady Oliver Twist havers. But, he waves a hand, since it's not particularly relevant.]
I suppose it's better to consider an area trap, though, if you're uncertain either way. I'll help you set it up, if you've got something in mind.
[BUT, OHO. He smiles immediately. What a great fucking week.]
Really? I think it's much better than the last couple of weeks!
I don't disagree. [ gu yun tilts his head. ] It's defensive. That's all I'll say.
[ most of the ones that remain are. in case he gets into trouble, gu yun's not particularly worried about the powers - the jealousy one could be annoying, the last aphrodite is a wild card, he's definitely not worried about the blindness, so. ] I suppose it won't really matter, by the end of the week, since they'll wear off anyway.
Thanks. [ ugh he pulls a face internally. this is stupid. ] It's just an idling thought, but we'll see. I'll likely trap my own room since it's just me, in case someone tries to frame me or something. [ he clicks his tongue. ] Something to keep in mind if you're planning on killing someone, I suppose.
[ ughhhghgh. at least they're almost to the simulation room. ] Last week was fine. [ in terms of being tolerable. gu yun puts on a big smile. ] I'm impressed with your optimism. [ :) ]
No reason. [ shrug!! he'll leave it at that, though. also, whether they're being nice to each other or not he can feel that smarmy comment and goes to start to elbow him... but can't, so just gives him a very firm clap on the shoulder instead. ]
That might be true, though. This combined with the 'confession' from last week - to keep people kind, I suppose.
That's precisely why. If killing grants us the most "points" towards indulgence, then you'd think anything preventing it would be considered interference.
[Maybe?? He doesn't know, okay. He's just having fun watching all the tsuns suffer this week.
He brings up a hand, coughing lightly to cover his laughter.]
Then again, I'm sure Despair will be thriving this week.

Why not work with Harrow? [Although, she's probably in hiding because of this week's effect? Maybe?? Very funny.]
And I have faith in your resilience. [ :)!!! ] Perhaps it's an attempt to curb the bloodshed.

Yeah okay the shoulder clap is weird when he can't rudely shrug it off so he just sort of. Stands there awkwardly. THIS IS SO WEIRD.]
It seems a little contradictory, doesn't it? "We'll reward you most for killing, but please be kind about it."

Putting someone out of their misery, maybe. [ LIKE HIM, flag me for death week 4 ] That's a kindness.

And you're likely correct. Wrath, however, may suffer, if we're all forced to be so kind.

I'm sure they're resilient enough to handle it.
