Week 5: Post Execution

[disclosures]

[She's been thinking about this for a while. Nobody is doing well right now. They've lost three people to the Blotters, Dazai died but was innocent.

They're really not good at this, are they?

While she disappeared for a while after the execution, she's back in their shared room, taking a ginger seat at the edge of it.]

You're doing your best.

... I'd like to tell you something. We've been partners for... six weeks now, right?

[disclosures]

Of the ones who are alive?

... Two. Varian and Belph are Villains.

[discardia]

All right. That's more than I knew before.

... There was something I got from the ship. A clam. Apparently, opening it will change a faction to one of the other two, though there's no guarantee which one it will be.

It might help, if it comes down to it.

[disclosures]

Right now, we have more Heroes than anything else.

Keep that clam in mind if we end up with less than three in any faction. A two thirds chance is still better than zero.

... But for now, have you figured out what your next objective is?

[discardia]

[ no because we're still threading-- ]

... Not yet. I promise to tell you when I know.

What about you?

[disclosures]

The heroes have already managed to do 11 of their objectives. So I'm... technically done?

[So really she doesn't have to do this one, but-] My next one is to hide a corpse in the water. I don't think I have to kill anybody for this, but... ergh.

[discardia]

...??? That's-- terrible!

[ WHY. ]

If you're already done, I think it's probably best to just... avoid that one.

[disclosures]

I don't think I could pick up any of the corpses anyway. [Which she says as though she was seriously considering it.]

Anyway, I'm sure it's awful because fairy tales usually end poorly. That's where the Little Mermaid died so... I guess I was lucky it wasn't "Die by drowning".

[discardia]

... I really hope none of the objectives are like that.

[ That would be terrible. ]

But thank you-- for telling me.

[disclosures]

[Well. Actually.] One of them is "die" and another one is "Get pushed out a window from a great height".

You're my partner. I probably should've told you a lot earlier.

[discardia]

That's an even bigger secret than our roles. I don't blame you.

[ WHAT IS WITH THESE OBJECTIVES THOUGH-- ]

[disclosures]

I did tell Sanji- he didn't even pry it out of me or anything.

But now you know. We talk to Dragon and Tiger every Monday.

Is there anything you want to know? Any questions you want to ask? I can't promise they'll answer.

[discardia]

What is it, exactly, that you talk to them about?

[disclosures]

I ask them questions. Usually we have to help people with their objectives before we get answers to things that really matter.
