I could just be that they lied, but— it’s that balance of we might need to start ruling out mundane or not as we go along, but how? There’s already so much happening in a weekend as is.
… Yeah. I imagine you have. [ tbd being the only team with four people left is a big “phew” and also “oh no” to all of them, shu included. those are their lil skrunkly teens. ]
Untranslated ones? The ones I saw were translated. [ as of yesterday he’s seen an untranslated one though. wow. ]
And it'll only be worse with multiple bodies if that keeps happening, too. [ he does not address the fact he is extremely worried about what things mean for his team. nobody needs to know that he's nervous someone will come after them just because they're all still alive. nobody needs to know he's scared he won't be able to save them. it's fine. ]
But they used to be all scrambled, right? [ ...in laymens terms. ] I want to make sure you've heard about all of the messages that people have been getting after their special missions so far.
[ truly, i hope they drift all the way to the end. or. y’know, drift and electrocute. ]
There’s a chance people will start trying to gather points. So… maybe, yes. I imagine things will be more and more complicated going from here.
I didn’t hear about last week’s, but I know there have been some. I got one as well the previous week. [ … ] The other messages were like stories. It was kinda weird, but I get the impression it’s something we should be keeping as far under our hats as we can.
[ i would love to see all four of them live, very sexy of them. ]
Since we know points can bring people back, I don't doubt it. Either by acting or by voting.
[ but...hum. ]
Here, take a look at this but keep it to yourself.
[ and he pulls out his phone to show shu a note in the notes app. ]
normally when players are erased, they are, for all intents and purposes, gone. kept around on some frequency, maybe, but less tangible or aware than even folktale ghosts.
which, of course, means that having them conscious elsewhere is very much not normal game protocol. not exactly against the rules, but those running the game wouldn't be pleased to find out. so, it s important to hide this from them, and to err on the side of caution when discussing anything that seems out of place.
after all, playing by their rules is unavoidable, and the only thing preventing any retaliation on their part is whether or not they feel it's worth the effort by that point. nothing is gained by blatantly defying them--even if it might be tempting to, with all the anomalies in this iteration of the reaper's game.
I'm not even exactly sure how many people know this right now. I'm making rounds, and I think other people are, too. But I found out some people have been behind in learning the messages so it doesn't hurt to double check. Just so we aren't accidentally ruining something.
Seems about right. [ no judgment, just facts. ] I'd like to consider them friends, almost. So it means I'd like to keep them as updated as I can to see what they might know. It's just harder when it's a lot of stuff we have to talk around.

So yeah. Under our hats.
