[he'll seek everyone out individually on friday after the investigation, telling them to head to hua cheng's room for an important reason. he won't specify the reason, of course. it's not safe to.
but as everyone files in one by one they'll find sora pacing the room nervous and clutching a lion kigu in his hands? this is his emotional support kigu now. as the last person shuts the door...
...he wastes no time, really.]
Sumire was on Swan's team. Also, all of you are on Swan's team, too.
...maybe because she already got hit with an axe? [HE HAS NO IDEA AND THE IDEA UPSETS HIM.]
We found a charred and bloody...lizard? I think. Like one of these things. [he holds up his kigu.] It was hanging up in the shop behind a bunch of stuff.
[which. haha. maybe taako will understand why he's exasperated.]
Yeah. Zuko had it last, I'm pretty sure he turned it in. We didn't get a good look at it but if neither of our victims were burned then we might have a lead to follow.
[ He tries to remember whether he saw Sumire in a kigu at all, during this fiasco. It's hard to say, when there are dinosaurs running amok, and then the expeditions...
thorough checks tomorrow. we have to find everything. ]
[i forgot to mention taako is having this conversation just. In a unicorn kigu. But half of one? It's been cut into a cute little crop hoodie, and he's wearing his ordinary pants. It's a Look. But then yeah he's holding onto a second one, also a unicorn. Apparently he's got a kind he likes.]
[ fiora doesn't look particularly enthused about the evidence. also, she has a tamarin monkey sitting on one shoulder, and another one seems to have followed her in, but that's not important right now. ]
I'm sure that'll be helpful, but... I really don't want to execute anybody. This all just needs to stop. [ a big frown. ] I haven't talked to Swan as much as you. There's got to be another way, right?
[ Why are there monkeys in his room, he thinks, as if there isn't a miniature spinosaurus rolling around in the leaves of his bed area (that weirdly look like they've taken the other "bed" and just piled it up).
More important matters. He shakes his head at - well, everything. Because for as much as he effectively thinks Fiora should continue sticking to her guns, on this... this he's got no other answer for.
the realm is unstable, and gets worse every time a rule is broken. this counts. this is in the rules. we don't follow them, we all die - either by becoming husks, with no memories or thoughts to speak of, or because the realm has come crashing down on our heads.
if there's another means, then we don't have it yet. ]
[ Simply put. Because he doesn't. Hua Cheng does not abide by unbreakable rules, especially stupid ones.
A throwback, because: ]
we're responsible as a whole for what happens here. whether everyone agrees with you or not, i'm not going to tell you to discard your ideals - i'm an asshole, not a monster. keep looking.

So Hua Cheng has his PHS at the ready. There's only one note on his note app, but it gets yote back so he can open a new one.

I know. But I don't like these rules.

If this is what the realm wants, then I don't like this realm. And if our thoughts can change it, then we should change it.

But after he's let everyone in, and Taako says that? Same! Same hat!
