[Ah.]

Get a grip. There are still a couple of things I need to confirm with Lune and Sol.

[North isn't looking too good either, but at least she isn't crying? It's fine. Everything is fine. She isn't ready to take a depression nap at all.]

Besides us? One, bare minimum. But there should be more, depending on who's actively exchanging information with the dead.

[foodbin]

[She rubs at her eyes.]

Right. I'll do that. [Even if she doesn't look that much less upset.] What are you confirming?

[televised]

Honestly? Everything. How this was decided, how it's meant to control the darkness, what will happen to the survivor... There's too much I don't know. I can't accept this until I have more answers.

[foodbin]

...I'll talk to him, too.

[televised]

Then let's compare notes afterward.

[foodbin]

Okay.

[...]

If we don't find another option, who would you suggest?

[televised]

[...]

To kill?

[foodbin]

...No, to be the last person.

[Not that they have complete control over it, but.]

[televised]

The last person standing can't be corrupted. So, ideally... Someone who has an item that makes them immune from the darkness.

[foodbin]

...Somebody has one, but - well. It’s not an item that only they can use.

[So if they decide on a better candidate as a group at some point, they’ll have that, at least.]

[televised]

I think I know who you mean.

[It'll be fine long as the item isn't destroyed or lost to the void, somehow...]

[foodbin]

Yeah.

[...But.]

'Not corrupted' is a pretty wide range of possibilities. If we don't have another choice - I don't know. Isn't it something we should think about?

[televised]

It won't be so easy if we keep missing the corrupted during trials. Fuck up enough times, and we won't know for sure who's corrupted and who isn't.

[foodbin]

...It had to be either Julius or Akane, though.

[Just saying.]

[televised]

... Yeah. I know.

Though I get the feeling Akane is gonna be a problem with our without the corruption.

[foodbin]

I have a feeling she will be, too. That feeling probably comes from how she's already an issue.

[televised]

Again, I know. It's not the first time she's refused to cooperate. Did Naminé tell you about the shit she pulled on her?

[foodbin]

...What did she do to my partner?

[she's gonna destroy a teenager]

[televised]

Remember how Akane knew about the swords we got from the war?

[foodbin]

Yeah.

[televised]

She apparently guilt-tripped Naminé into sharing that information with her, along with her element and skill. She kept telling her how "upset" she felt about Minato, and how "unfair" it was that nobody else had outed their powers.

It was basic emotional manipulation. But Naminé fell for it because she thought Akane was her friend.

[foodbin]

...Jesus, I knew she was a huge bitch.

[bye feliciakane]

[televised]

Now you know.

[time to kill akane??]

I told Naminé to be careful around her, but I'm not sure if it stuck. So keep an eye on her if it looks like she's spending too much time around her?

[foodbin]

I will. I'll talk to her about it.

[But, ugh.]

I was planning on checking Julius this week. Since Akane gave Shirasu the knife, both him and Minato would show up on the list of people she's talked to, so there's no point in looking at her again. But... What do we do with that information? If he did it, it wouldn't be like Shirasu, where he was uncorrupted but killed anyways.

[televised]

... I asked around, but it doesn't sound like anyone's currently hoarding a purification item. New items are awarded on Tuesday every other week, and on Friday in the weeks between. This week... Miki, Minato, Lea and Valvatorez got something for their efforts on Tuesday. It's likely the next round of items will be given out on Friday.

[...]

There's only one thing we can do with that information, Emma.
