I had a little extra time today.

[A little grin! He seems proud and pleased with the compliment.]

Isn't it? I'll have to find a way to bring some of these back with me, too! You can't beat a good rice wine, but I'd miss the fruity drinks too much.

[uncurtained]

I bet you could smuggle a few out in your robe before we all take off.

[As she takes another sip, she sits down on the bed.]

How are you feeling, after all that...?

[givethemhell]

That's a great idea! I think I will.

[HE ABSOLUTELY WILL NOW as he plonks down on the corner of the bed too, careful not to slosh his drink out of its cup.]

Mm, well... It's still a loss, and I do miss Taako. Still - as far as things have gone, and as bad as they could have gone, we haven't done too badly! Though, hah, I suppose it's a bit preemptive to be celebrating. What about you?

[uncurtained]

It wasn't... Awesome.

[She takes another drink.]

But, I didn't know either of them too well. Not that it makes what happened to them better, but... Just, apart from that, it was tough to watch all of that, you know?

[givethemhell]

Mm, you're right about that.

[All of it honestly...]

--It seemed like more arguments broke out than usual today too, didn't it? Not counting the nonsense with the cookies.

[uncurtained]

Yeah. More arguments, and just... people being stupid.

[She takes another sip of her drink.]

[givethemhell]

[Reasons why he stayed out of 90% of this trial and just busied himself with footgate: that.]

Mm... Well, we're bound to hit little boiling points sooner or later. I'm surprised it took this long!

[uncurtained]

Wish it took a little bit longer, honestly.

[But that was probably unrealistic. She takes another sip.]

Anyways... At least it's over.

[givethemhell]

Mm - and if we're lucky, we'll be able to avoid another death and trial this coming week.

[OR SO HE HOPES... He has no idea what this ritual they're meant to be doing will look like?? He's got no idea what's going on at any time.]

[uncurtained]

[She nods.]

It'd be nice, wouldn't it? Now that we're getting close, in terms of days... It'd be good to know everyone here is safe now.

[givethemhell]

Mm, I'd like being able to approach Friday without any sorts of concerns. I'm sure the same could be said for any one of us!

[He'll love being able to go to bed on Thursday and not worry about who the heck is gonna be dead when he wakes up!!]

[uncurtained]

Maybe we could ask Carlos or one of the other hosts whether the demons are going to act again... It'd at least be nice to know, if they can tell us.

[givethemhell]

Might be a good idea, mm. [A little sigh.] Ah-- Speaking of, did you talk to Carlos about whether or not anything could be done for Higekiri?

[uncurtained]

[She nods, even though she frowns.]

It can, but... It’ll be a tough task.

[givethemhell]

Tough in what way...?

[BOY HE'S ALREADY ANXIOUS!!]

[uncurtained]

I... need to get a few people to publicly confess a secret or a regret they've been holding onto. People who normally don't talk about that kind of thing.

[givethemhell]

[oh my fuckin god]

...Well, I'll start this off by saying I have a token for a free favor if we need one. [JUST. JUST TO GET THAT OUT THERE.] I was going to save it in case we really needed it later, but depending on how many people you need to get to confess, that might be- [Hm.] -difficult indeed.

[Though, after a second of thought:]

Would it count toward our number if I were to agree, at least? I think I probably fit the requirements.

[uncurtained]

I think it would, but... Are you sure?

[And then, for the first part:]

With who?

[givethemhell]

If it's to return Higekiri to his usual state, I don't mind.

[He is much more bothered by it than he's letting on but on the other hand! He has a lot of regrets and secrets to choose from and can probably at least pick one that doesn't suck as bad as the others, haha.

As for that:] Who can I get the favor from, you mean? Chuuya.

[uncurtained]

Oh... I'm not sure if it counts if another host helps. I would have to check. But - I know it would if you helped, at least.

[givethemhell]

Ah! No, no! Rather, I can use it to buy a favor - like making a deal, but I don't have to do anything on my end, you know? [He waves a hand.] But if you've already made a deal with Carlos, then I guess we just do what we can with that.

[A gentle, sloping shrug. And then, because he's a little shit, he adds with a grin:]

You should see how Junpei feels about joining our valiant cause.

[HE AIN'T GOING OUT ALONE.]

--Though to be honest, if the only requirement is just someone who doesn't talk about these things, isn't that most of us?

[uncurtained]

...I should have asked that before starting this.

[rip this favor, destined to go unused for this...]

Junpei is on my list. Dick and Kagachi, too, so - that just leaves one more, if you have any other suggestions.

[givethemhell]

Haha, well, I didn't have it until after you started it unfortunately.

[OR HE WOULD HAVE OFFERED FROM THE START but they just gotta do this the fuckin hard way, then.]

--Tamamo is quite fond of Higekiri, so I think she might be inclined to agree.

[uncurtained]

[She nods.]

I was thinking her or Nikkari, honestly.

[givethemhell]

Both might be good options... He's a teammate to Nikkari and he and Tamamo share a bond, so I'd imagine they would both be willing to take a bit of a hit for his sake. Tamamo knows what's happening with Higekiri though, and I'm not sure if anyone has told Nikkari yet.

[Throws Tamamo under the bus.]
