When: Week 9

[ When everyone arrives on Monday, Satori's manuscript is on the table. PRESUMABLY BREAK AND LIET HAVE LIFTED THE BOOKMARK, THE ARMOR, AND THE FRIDGE SO THERE'S THAT, TOO.

Leviathan's chilling in the chalk circle, talking to Miata in her usual stiff manner. ]

motive talk ig

[crazily]

[ BREAK SURE DID STEAL PEOPLES' SHIT and had to deal with angry ghosts, but hey, it's fine. No Gilbertgate-2, he promises. But. That aside.]

Well, our motive for the week seems fairly straightforward. I'd hesitate to make a prediction, since I've been wrong in the past, but it's definitely something oriented towards greed and lust.

[ He sighs, then adds: ]

...That, and we probably don't have too much time left, do we? If we continue to have unexpected deaths, our numbers will thin all the quicker.

[dereban]

Well, our greeds... [ Gestures to the two greeds. ]

But lust is definitely possible.

[crazily]

[ i'm not saying i forgot to check but i may have... sweats ]

It's a bit hard for me to tell, but it did seem like a few people may have been tempted, at least from what I heard. [ He shrugs ] Faize, wasn't it?

[vicedirector]

[ Miata turns around, Leviathan suddenly growing quiet. ]

...no, we don't. After this week, people are going to be targeted directly.

[muties]

[ just drinking a lemonade in the corner ]

Directly targeted by what?

1/2

[vicedirector]

The demons.

[ flapping her hand in Leviathan's direction ]

It's a part of the ritual, or something? I don't know.

2/2

[vicedirector]

[ Leviathan bows apologetically, her hands folded in front of her. ]

We must each take a s a c r i f i c e...with our own hands.

I am sorry...but it must proceed...if you wish to d e f e a t the o t h e r s.

[crazily]

[ That's not quite surprising, necessarily, but it still leaves a deep frown on Break's face all the same. ]

...I hope you understand why I might have some reservations about that.

[ He pauses, since this is definitely pushing the limits of how much trust he can give. ]

Can you explain it more?

[herbgrace]

...Do you have someone in mind already? [She's assuming Leviathan won't choose any of them, at least.]

[vicedirector]

Of course.

[ another dip of the head ]

We are b e i n g s from the Spirit World. Hell is simply...one if its layers. This is why...we are able to i n t e r a c t with the deceased easily....enough. Metaphorically...we are at "full p o w e r" in this state.

[ She pauses, seemingly collecting her thoughts. This probably the most she's ever spoken at once, so not really surprising. ]

This is not the case in the Human World. We are weakened. This is why S a t a n was not able to defeat the one called U n d y n e on her own.

[ Another pause. Didja get all the weird magic shit so far. ]

[vicedirector]

No. I wished to be f o r t h r i g h t beforehand.

[muties]

Well, fuck.

... Is it going to be someone each of your uh, like, sinchildren? Like do you have to pick an envykid, or... [ what would greedmom do... is levi eyeing murdering the bagel THIS IS IMPORTANT ]

[vicedirector]

[ shaking her head slowly, slowly ]

No. It does not need...to be one of our d e s i g n a t e d.

[herbgrace]

[Sup, Miata. Not only is Lithuania still trying to stick close by you, she also has a question for you.] Do you know what Katerina is doing all this for? She must have an end goal in mind.

[vicedirector]

Of course she has a goal. No one kills 30 people and summons a bunch of demons for shits and giggles.

[herbgrace]

[Listen, you've met some of the people here, it's not outside the realm of possibility.] Are you able to tell us what it is?

[muties]

Ok, that's... good?

[ good is not the correct word ]

Do any of your demony friends got their eyes to sacrifice anyone in particular, or are they gonna pick next week? Maybe hold a lottery of death, pick names from a hat?

1/2

[vicedirector]

[ ....................... ]

Alright, well maybe like...Bill, would. Probably thinks it sounds like a fun afternoon.

[vicedirector]

[ But, shaking her head. ]

I'm playing it safe this week. But things should get clearer, soon.

[herbgrace]

[A nod.] Of course. I wouldn't want you to unnecessarily endanger yourself more. [PRECIOUS MIATA...]

[vicedirector]

I do not know.

[ a slight shrug ]

[crazily]

[ At the very least, Break is better equipped to deal with weird magic shit since that's more or less his job title... But because it's his job title, he also has some doubts here. No offense, Envymom, but he's been burnt by trusting demons in the past.

Even so.

He considers it, then nods slowly. ]

One for each? Or will they pursue more?

[dereban]

[ ... ]

What about Faize?

Thursday night

[neidvoll]

[ After having called an emergency meeting, Miata is relatively silent, stony-faced and leaning against the wall near the chalkboard. She waits for everyone to gather before speaking up. ]

...I'm resigning on Sunday.

[jackhole]

[ wait ]

... What the fuck?
