sunday | post-execution

[concasse]

[Given how poorly everything could've gone, Sanji is in higher spirits than he feels he should be. He supposes it's because his respect for Sandalphon's cause outweighs the heaviness of the decision - a different way of grieving.

Still, he's feeling more sociable than he did last night, so he'll make his rounds through the castle, hitting up a couple of people for conversation. Sousei's on his list, of course.

He'd like to check in with the only other functional adult in this castle.]

Oi, you got a moment?

But if it's objectives we gotta focus on, why the hell do we need to kill each other?

[He's just saying! This could've been solved so easily in his mind.]

[disilluded]

They are not fond of giving answers to that question.

[Trust him, that was the first one he wanted an answer to too.]

Though I will freely state that some objectives require killing. Those are the ones that should be avoided. They cannot possibly expect us to complete all of these.

[concasse]

Yeah, mine is one of those.

Which is why I haven't fulfilled it.

[The fastest way to earn a pirate's fury is by telling him what to do, tbh.]

[disilluded]

You as well?

[Why did they give the sensible adults the murdery objectives.]

They should have known we would not obey them so easily.

[concasse]

You'd fuckin think.

But I refuse to kill kids and women and anyone else for a game. Jeez...

[Rubbing irritably at his forehead]

[disilluded]

Well, it is a relief to hear that we are on the same page at that.

[Honestly...]

Let us remain strong in the face of this nonsense, then, and continue to find a way to escape this situation. With everyone's lives intact.

[Or like.

Whoever's left, oops.......]

[concasse]

[Us, the players, laughing into the void at this optimism]

Alright.

I'll let you know if I manage to get Tiger-sama and Dragon-sama's attention.

Did you just... track 'em down during the executions and ask to speak with them in private?

[Share those secrets, Sanji's got a (RESPECTFUL!!!) bone to pick with their hosts]

[disilluded]

Hm, yes.

[He just nods simply, and:]

I found that asking worked well enough. [Just don't take no for an answer.] I will be looking forward to seeing the outcome of your questions.
