week 1; friday ( shirasu )

[axilium]

[another week alive—provided nothing goes badly at the trial, that is.

either way, whenever shirasu returns, belph is waiting in their room. he appears deep in thought, before he looks up at his partner.]

Hey.

I suppose this place thought I could use something in line with my existing skills.

[that gets a wry little smile in return.]

I know I don't have to remind you to avoid it, but it never hurts to be sure. We are tied, after all.

[hm. that reminds him.]

Ah, about that. We may end up needing to consider whether to share that note.

[axilium]

... Because we're likely going to end up with odd numbers by the end of this week, right?

[wagashis]

Exactly. We already have two without partners, and if a third is killed after the trial...

There may be no guarantee anyone will be saved the way they were last time, either.

[axilium]

[it's not an easy decision.]

... On one hand, it might be better to save it. On the other hand, if people realize we purposely hid it, we're going to look pretty bad.

[wagashis]

... couldn't read the message and didn't figure it out in time? If we used ink to obscure the words...

[they can figure something out.]

For now, though-- let's see where things stand tomorrow night.
