Week 7

[backspacing]

[killtheanimals]

[Boy Red you sure know how to make yourself his most favorite person ever, end sarcasm tags.]

So the final protocol is to slaughter everyone, is it?

[backspacing]

[OH HI MITSURU]

I was wondering when you would come ask me about that.

[killtheanimals]

It was either that or I'd find out when I became nothing more than a puppet, is it?

[Wow, her response has him even more pissed, we're doing good here.]

[backspacing]

I'm trying to keep that from happening.

[We're doing awesomely here, yes.]

[killtheanimals]

Tell me.

What are the exact circumstances it's activated under? And how exactly would it happen?

[After all she's put him through, surely he's earned the right to ask this much?]

[backspacing]

There's three situations where it would activate: within 24 hours of my death, if there are less than ten campers remaining before the start of week seven, or if there is still anyone left alive by the strike of midnight on Sunday of week eight.

[killtheanimals]

[...Who'd have thought that trying so desperately to save the others with his magic was in fact saving others from it?

He is very slightly mollified now that she's giving some answers.]

And you were planning to make them change their minds before that Sunday?

[backspacing]

That is the plan, yes. I have a backup plan in mind if we get to Saturday evening with no results, but that one is riskier.

[killtheanimals]

Can you tell me anything about them. I can stay silent if I must, but we need to know what to be prepared for.

None of us plan to take it without fighting, and enough of us are prepared to fight back if we feel there's no good options available.

[In the worst case scenario, they will bring themselves down in flames.]

[backspacing]

Please do a better job of keeping it quiet than Ren has.

[Seriously, the medicine thing was supposed to be a secret.]

My plan is to claim that you are all members of the organization and that they have to spare you from death. They're so occupied with bureaucracy that the claim will buy us enough time to get back to headquarters, where I can make the rest of you 'disappear into the system' so to speak. enough people owe me favors that I think I can pull it off.

[killtheanimals]

I'm not an idiot.

[Please, have some faith in him.]

The organization - is that what that eye on Amamiya's phone was? They certainly showed it off to just about everyone in the room, though not everyone was stupid enough to sign up for something completely unknown.

[backspacing]

Pretty much. It's a good thing Shirou tried to log in, I wouldn't have found out about it in time to block out the cameras otherwise.

That isn't quite the signup method, though. That's more like "I would like to read the newsletter." With me speaking for the rest of you, that would be a recruitment.

[killtheanimals]

A newsletter...?

[Weird.]

Not all of us qualified, though. Tsukino seemed interested in it, but it rejected her.

[backspacing]

I imagine because, based both on her personality and her abilities, my organization would treat her more like something like Sol.

[killtheanimals]

[...?!]

...So it doesn't work for... godly beings?

[backspacing]

The usual methods wouldn't work, no. There are other ways to do it for beings that don't qualify for the usual methods.

Later on Monday

[linearcrash]

[ He's waiting for her still also Archie the Package Boy showed him his Lance so Nine is in a better mood. He's a simple teen with simple needs. ]

Did you hurt him?

[ Yeah first thing out of his mind as soon as he remembers oh yeah he got his boyfriend in trouble. ]

[backspacing]

Of course not. I just gave him a warning, that's all.

[Hi Nine.]

[linearcrash]

[ Okay, he'll relax at that. He has a moment of wanting to drop everything to go find him, but he did come here for reasons.

Making a few bottles of remedies appear to offer them over. ]

Here. I don't know if they will help with it, but it's worth a try.

[ She's giving Ren her treatment, but what is she doing for treatment? ]

[backspacing]

[Nothing lol

But she is looking at the bottles curiously.]

Did you find these in Stan's pile?

[linearcrash]

[ What the hell, Red ]

Yeah, funny thing is all the healing potions and magic restoring stuff is gone.

[ MYSTERIOUSLY ]

These are remedies, yo.

Wednesday

[le_mat]

[oh look, something slid under the door. It's a drawing of Red with human!Blue! Though Ren's artist skill is okay at best- he seems to have had a easier time with the cityscape then the humans- his skill with his hands make sure it's recognizable and decent enough.

Blue isn't perfect: even in her Palace the man was blurry and hard to see detail of. But other than Red herself Ren might be the only one who knows his face well enough to even make an attempt- which is why he did it. He's worried she might not even have a single photo.

...and Archer totally inspired the door thing]

[backspacing]

[Aww Ren what a sweetheart.

The next time he goes for his shot, he'll see the picture hung up on her wall.]

[le_mat]

[That makes him smile when he sees it- he was scared that it would make her depressed- after all, she IS with Archer now. Sometimes time (even the many many years Red has lived) doesn't heal everything.

But to be fair, Ren is 17- time is still fresh and new and inconsequential to him. What does he know? Still, he wonders if the drawings Richie has hung up around the alter will end up here eventually. Once they're gone.]

I'm sorry again for Nine. He... was trying to help.
