When have I ever turned down your company? [he's grateful for it, actually.] I wanted to check around the ruins and stuff again. That's where the headless body was found.
Though we had all known it would happen, my heart still grows heavy that a Leader deemed it necessary for them to die. Mayhap one of the two is gone to us because of yet another like Virid... It matters not. Now we are forced to play this cruel game again, and must decide on who to put to death on the morrow.
It kind of matters, I think, to at least try to understand the motivations. But you're right. We're being forced right back into a game without any time to really plan.
Go over everything we know, and find a way to talk to people about our options. Nine hours is just enough time to figure some stuff out, but not enough to make people approach things without panicking.
I've always wondered why we couldn't teach the Realm about, like, a jail cell instead of an execution. If we could keep the killers alive, maybe they could help us understand this splintering thing.
I agree nine bells simply isn't enough time—or, perhaps, that is all part of its little game, as is removing those who have done the deed. For the now, however, we cannot hope us capable of changing the system. Instead, we must figure out a way in spite of it.
Hm... A time or two, I would say. Granted, I am much more experienced in dealing with wars and politics—a mysterious presence implementing bizarre rules and murders are a bit out of my usual expertise.
Yeah...mine too. I mean I don't know much about politics but I'm used to fighting battles and figuring things out from there. This doesn't make as much sense to me, but...I'm trying to think about the things I remember and if I can find answers.

Let us away. I agree that may be the best spot for us to begin.

Two more people again. What do you think about that?

That's the part I hate the most.

But I am curious—had we the time, what would you do?
