I tried, but there wasn't any way Nahri and Wenzhou were gonna let anything go... I talked to her after, though. Figured I should show her the message I got after that mission. I'm hoping she'll be less upset about not getting everyone next time.
[a little sigh, there. mannnn.]
I showed Gerard, so I figure he told you guys it was going around, right?
I don't expect Nahri or Wenzhou to forgive us. I think these messages are going to be hard for them. [ he just thinks it would be hard if someone messaged him to protect d's team even after he killed rin. he'd do it, but it'd be some weird vibes. ] And yeah. Most people probably know.
Did you get the latest two? Ylfa and I can show you, otherwise.
All right. We can get you caught up. We got these in code -- Gerard cracked them for us. Don't show or talk about them to the Reapers.
[ he's got these written on a piece of paper: ]
Ylfa's: 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
Haru's: 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
If it ends up necessary, though... you know. It's okay. And yeah, Yuzu, I know, don't yell at me.
[he's had this conversation more than once it's fine. he reads these over too, though, brow furrowed.]
I won't say anything. I usually just hang out with 'em, anyway, it's not like I know what to ask them most of the time.
[he's not much of the info or ideas guy.]
And I'm okay following everyone's lead on what should happen. If I'm being honest, I don't have that many ideas myself, so... I'll use what I've got however I need to.
[ HE DOES NOT USUALLY YELL BUT HE IS SPIRITUALLY YELLING ALONGSIDE YUZURIHA ]
...I wanted to ask for your help to stop Simon. In case he tries to hurt Ylfa. [ or him but mostly ylfa ] Maybe if we curse him late on Thursday, he won't be able to do anything.
[ he feels really bad thinking about this even if simon is apparently a crazy person who might try and kill them, like damn if simon didn't feel betrayed already he sure is going to be now. but also. ugh. ]
...Only if he can't catch on to what you're doing. [ he doesn't want netzach in danger either. ]
If we've got enough healers left on Thursday, [ lol cyoa ] you guys could boost me and Netty, and we could probably both use poison to do something on a larger-scale.
[ maybe? idk but operation 420 would be hysterical ]
Uh... not that I'm saying it because I want it to happen, but... if he could be dangerous and we need to stop him, is there some reason not to erase him besides just preferring not to?
Kinda related, I guess, but if you ever need it for whatever reasons that I'm not gonna say-- the stuff I make still lasts after it stops being toxic. Just lemme know if you could ever use any and I'll let it wear off before I hand it over.

[ though that was always gonna be the case, really. ]

We already decided we were gonna focus on trying to play support before this.
no subject
Whatever you need from us, just let us know.
Also, I think it should be noted we have nearly a third of the votes just between our teams. [ 7 ppl... math... ]
no subject
...Thanks. Both of you. Even last trial, we noticed.
[ considering netzach was the one checking gerard. ]
We need to work with everyone on voting. It's not just about avoiding us. It's making sure we don't erase any extra people.

...That's good to know.
[ going back a bit, ]
I agree about the voting, by the way, and I'm not just trying to save my own neck. Let's try to avoid any unnecessary losses.
Also, you probably know this too but we were warned to avoid Simon.

If we can't actually curse him [ does anyone here even have a curse item ] what if we manufactured one?
It'll be risky using poison, I agree, but what if we're able to pass it off as a group incident, kind of like that one trial?
[ operation gaslight? operation everyone blaze it? ]

He might be less suspicious of that.

It's helpful but also I think I'm going to just kill him with my ax and then it won't be a problem anymore.
