[ Hua Cheng is still just vibing in this fancy dress. He's honestly completely unbothered by it, especially since there's far more pressing matters to attend to than the fact that his curfew location decided he needed a comfort dress. He's sitting this time because he is mcfucking tired still, and has the side of his head in his hand, eye closed, pensive.
But, he'll sit up once they've all gathered in their hangout spot of the day, huli jing companion on his lap press his PHS into his hand when he lowers it. He has no pockets in this getup, sue him. ]
I found Fiora. [ That's that. ] And I might know who killed her. I just have to confirm it, before I send you all on a witch hunt.
[ Said while he's pulling up something on his PHS. Hua Cheng isn't a note taker, so there's only three things: a now-empty note from when he was mute, and two that are much bigger. ]
We have a few things we have to talk about, on top of that. Swan didn't come to me about someone's nova splintering this week, so we're going to have to make a kill next Thursday, regardless of whether she tells us that someone's splintering or not. Because we're running out of time.
[ The first note is one that is familiar to Sora, at least, if not anyone else. The second one? Brand new, and far less censored. The redacted sections on both are dashes. ]
And I mean we're really running out of time.

[well this has been a day. he's seated on the floor of wherever, half-lounging on the floor and half sitting up as he thinks through that.]
...well, we did have one of the bigger teams left. It was bound to happen. [he isn't sure how to feel about any of this, but he reads the second note.]
Do we still think these notes were written by a leader themselves?

That-- Guy who keeps showing up at the end of our Murder Dungeons. I bet they're the person who's writing these cryptic ass notes.
And I know. We've got until next week, so it's fine. That's like longer than I took to write my thesis. Don't worry about it.

It was a woman, in ours. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I think... [ hm, ] Because these expeditions might be related to the leaders' memories, I think she might have been related to Swan in some way.
[ He has no idea what a thesis is, but he's used to not understanding half the things that come out of Taako and Lup's mouths. ]
I imagine we get to wait and see who dies on Sunday, and make a decision based on that to figure out who we kill.

...one really important thing is we can't wait until Swan tells us somebody's splintering. Since Alyssa counted as a splinter kill, the next one has to be independent and our own choice.
That's the last I've heard. In order for the two to count, one has to be a splinter and one has to be without the leader asking us.

I still think it might be possible, but the way this new one is written leads me to question it, now. [ Because why write it like this? Unless the redacted section gives away who wrote it and someone came in after the leaders might have seen the reports... ]
It was bound to happen, though. Better us than a team at risk. We'll just have to not screw this up so that we don't fail the dead.

... I am the only one here who hasn't been on a trip through one of these memory labyrinths, so pardon me if I'm a bit lost as to what you all are referring to.
But we do have options, if our kill mustn't be because of splintering. There's no specifics on who we should or shouldn't kill, are there?

Oh that didn't come from one of the memories. That came from someone who said this is what their leader told them.
We have to kill two people to save our dead. Two kills per team. One kill can be killing someone who's splintering and when asked by the leader. But the other has to be our own choice without Swan's involvement at all.
My only thing is...there are people I refuse to kill, and those are people I'm gonna ask you guys not to kill either.

There was a woman who spoke to us during our expedition, at various points. She was more vague than helpful, and it seemed she was speaking through us more than to us. But what she did say matched up with the knowledge from the report that Shigeo sent to his PHS.
[ A part of him stares into the void, because if he'd known this sooner he would've just killed someone long before now. ]
But we can find someone from a team that's better off, and take care of it. I'm still willing to do it, but I... [ his hand comes up to his shoulder, but he doesn't touch the nothing that's there ] Well, I'll need some help to get it done, in that case.

... Better off implies the Tigers and the Rabbits, doesn't it? I saw no mention of them on the message Yoshizawa-san sent.
In any case. I'm probably the most uninjured of all of us.
[ since SOMEONE hasn't been picked for cyoa, and kept rolling too well in miniadventure. ]

Fine by me. We should be in agreement anyway to plan the best way to do this.
Exactly. Those are the people I want to protect the most...and at least one other.
We're not gonna screw up. We can't. [just...first and foremost.] I think it's weird though, the way the last one's written. It sounds like a report to the leaders instead of from.
[ A laugh - yeah, Homura probably is the least injured out of all of them. They'll work together on this kill, in whatever capacity they need to - and it'll be fine. ]
Based off of that message, Tigers and Rabbits would perhaps be our best guess.
[ Speak up if you have any Tigers or Rabbits you don't want dead, kids. ]
