[Crowded buses suck when you want to have a private conversation, but if there's a silver lining, it's that most of them all have the same idea in mind -- find the people you recognize and try to figure out what the fuck is going on.
Which means Sanji is eventually gonna hunt down Steph, looking far less energetic than he had been yesterday. Y'know -- "I just got done killing a bunch of my comrades to get us a happy ending and now have to square up for a potential round 2" levels of tired.
It's fine. This is all fine.]
Hey, Steph-chan... how you managing?

Hey, Steph-chan... how you managing?
I'm wishing that the toilet really is our biggest problem.
[ sometimes, you are so shocked and frustrated that joking around is the immediate coping medicine until you have to actually sit and realize that everything happens so much. ]
We are... still stuck here, huh.

Some of us.
[Business!Sanji has been invoked, and he counts off a couple of names with his fingers]
You, me, Belph, Hikage, Yasusada, and Evan so far... haven't seen any of the others.
[From the castle, he means, though given how relieved his tone is, he sees that as a good thing.]

I hope that means the others managed to go home.
[ there's the possibility that they may be stuck in a similar situation to this one, but until they get proof of that...
well. she shakes her head. ]
There's actually a few people I know from home? Damian... he's the bitey child who needs a leash. There's Jason and Dick, but technically neither of them know me yet? They're like, a lot younger than they should be.

Huh...
[That's an interesting wrinkle to all of this. He rubs at his chin, thoughtful]
I haven't seen anyone I recognize, but it seems like all of us here have been apart of similar... "games", so to speak.
[So you bat kids got cucked super hard.]
Are they trustworthy?

They are. [ ... ] You're going to fight with Damian.
[ everyone does but like. she really needs to get that warning out of the way because he is difficult to deal with. ]
But they'd all do their best to get us out.
[ she can't say they wouldn't murder, because at this point they know that even if you don't want to, you might get forced into it. but at the very least, they wouldn't kill willingly if it came down to it. ]

Oh don't worry, I already met that feral kid.
[surprise, they did not make a great first impression on each other, but armed with this new information, Sanji will at least try to be on his best behavior]
And good to know... We have no idea if this is gonna be another cause of some of us getting jobs on the side and what that'll mean for the group at large.
[It's to their interest that they have as many people on their side, he means.]

Right. Or if there are people with skills in general? I heard people complaining about lost powers.
[ it's hard to guess what's going to happen when they only have a very vague idea of how other games went ]

I mean--
[A pause, and then he stares at his own hand for a brief second before huffing out a sigh, shaking his head]
Mine aren't back. And I can't turn invisible, either.
[He's also going to resist kicking the wall and ricochetting around like a pinball.]
The rules have changed. Maybe we're getting jack shit this round.

... probably.
[ there are pros and cons to that, she supposes. ]
Finding out as much as we can about where other people are from is priority. It'll give us a way better idea of what we might expect here.

True... So far I've heard some of the others came from a deserted island and a... boat, I think?
[he's so jealous of that last option, and doesn't even realize it was a thot boat yet]
All of 'em had to murder, though the circumstances were different in each case.

Yeah... different ways to end the game, different reasons that got them to kill... i heard stuff about possession?
[ she makes a face ]
Not too thrilled about that idea.
[ she makes a face ]
Not too thrilled about that idea.
Right? How did they even deal with that at trials? At least we managed to get confessions out of people...
[ can you confess when you're possessed??? she
does not know how that works ]

And having demons running around entails a lot of shit I don't wanna think about, either.
[Sanji felt chill bringing everyone back to life bc, y'know, happy ending. It doesn't sound like you get a happy ending with demons running around.]
Well, until I'm shown otherwise, gonna just ignore that mess... though I don't think we can pin this on Tiger-sama and Dragon-sama, either.

Oh my god, could you imagine them putting us in booty shorts?
[ the mental image is so funny that stephanie almost wishes they actually were behind it?? ]
[ the mental image is so funny that stephanie almost wishes they actually were behind it?? ]
... which means Tiger definitely did this to attack Dragon.
[ no ]
[ no ]
I can't believe that's going to be the start of a whole other war...
[ she says it so solemnly ]
[ she says it so solemnly ]
[ she laughs softly. ]
Don't worry, I think if we managed to do one thing right, it was that.

If they're still staying in the castle, I hope they redecorate...
[ PLEASE get rid of the fuckin evil ass forest ]

[ welp
it's a little after the announcement went up, and stephanie is looking for certain people to check on. when she spots one of them, she hurriedly walks over to him. ]
Sanji.
[ her expression just says "what the fuck" ]
