Week 0 | Sunday, Post Execution

[concasse]

[He's spent most of his afternoon either training or running around checking on people, and it's towards the beginnings of twilight that he finally chooses to relax. No cigarettes, sadly -- he doesn't have enough to splurge -- but that's alright. He can take a walk throughout the castle, not unlike a soldier making his rounds.

At any point that he sees Sousei, however, he'll slow his steps enough to nod at him, much like their brief communication in the kitchen. Normally he'd leave it at that, too, except... well, congratulations should be in order, right?]

How's it feel escaping that shit?

[Sorry man, Sanji's just crude in speech. Pirates]

Comments

[disilluded]

You're right on that count.

[He'd noticed that too, but in the mess that was Everything, he hadn't thought about it...]

We are quickly losing sight of issues such as "how did we get here", but I believe they are still relevant if we wish to ever escape from here.

... The fact that we do not know what a "win" for one of them would lead to for the rest of us is extremely concerning, however.

[concasse]

Yeah, I managed to talk to Tiger-san last time she made an appearance, but she refused to elaborate on what she wanted from us besides dead bodies.

[A sigh]

I'm assuming they're hiding details on purpose... maybe because there is a loophole to all of this, so the less we know, the better.

[disilluded]

[Dead bodies... of course.]

That is my suspicion. Why be so cagey about the entire situation if it was foolproof? There is undoubtedly some secret we can make use of to end this early, and save lives.

[concasse]

Yeah, probably.

... well, I'll keep my ears open. It'd be one thing if it was us against them, but I'm pretty damn sure they're gonna keep recruiting some of us to their side.

[So trusting anyone will come with risks. Not that Sanji needs to say it.]

[disilluded]

That is the nature of this entire mess. They wish for us to mistrust everyone around us.

[Sousei frowns a bit, shaking his head.]

It is dangerous, I'm aware, and yet if we also trust no one, we cannot save everyone's lives either.
