Oh, no worries, Lili. I was going to keep watch regardless.

[His voice remains easy going, but there is... something lurking under the surface as he stares into the ceiling again]

Old habits die hard and all. It wouldn't sit right with me if one team got too close to being wiped out when we don't have all of the answers.

[ . . . . hm. she tilts her head curiously at that, before nodding.]

Was it common to lose a large number of people each week at the castle? Since you were all put against each other like that.

[concasse]

... Not common, exactly, but there was a week where we lost five.

And under normal circumstances, at least two people died.

[coastal]

- two?

Why two?

[concasse]

Guess half of us were just murdering bastards who couldn't help ourselves.

[Dryly. Though he amends with:]

... And some of those weeks were Editor kills.

[coastal]

[what the hell,]

Editor...?

[SANJI your LORE]

[concasse]

Killers contracted by the hosts.

[a sloping shrug]

Think of 'em as... a clean-up crew. If someone were to step too much outta line, Tiger-sama and Dragon-sama would make them kill someone of the hosts' choosing.

[coastal]

[oh.

she seems to actually hesitate a bit at that.]

... we'll have to hope that role doesn't exist there.

[she knows that she is

the definition of stepping too much out of line]

[concasse]

[Haaa

He nearly arches a brow in his direction, ready to declare that he'd meant that to be open-ended. Surely she doesn't think he's an Editor, does she?

But honestly he's... too fuckin tired to care at this point. About anything. About his past. So he just smiles and nods]

I doubt there is.

Might be other roles, but... not that one.
