[ beau is just tiredly making her way across the camp. she's just walking, she doesn't have any sort of goal. please join her on a sad unvictory lap, magnus. ]
I know. We really can't afford to keep missing like this. Especially because Purple's team is really suffering. [ she breathes out slow. ] Why do you think they're doing it? Do you think it's because of the if no one dies, we all die thing?
I wish I knew. [Chewing his lip a little.] I have to think it's that, but I keep doubting it. Maybe 'cause it's easier that way? At least there'd be somebody with an ass to kick.
It was... necessary? For people to kill in the house. We had to, in order to stall for time.
I'm really hoping that's what is happening here, Magnus. I'm hoping like - we break in somewhere and it tells us something. We hit a milestone and the hosts can give us something useful. We find how to win this.
I'm hoping so, too. I don't think there's like. Some fucking conspiracy where people, or some team of people who're more willing to do murders.
[He goes quiet for a second.]
I don't even know if you're allowed to confirm anything, but. I know there's not, because you're somebody who gave Ogata a fighting chance, and I'm pretty sure you're on Black Shadows.
I know several people on several teams. [ she says, her lips twitching. ]
Me and Phoenix were thinking about trying to keep a list of items people have, at least. I don't know how honest people are going to be, but it's worth a shot.
I'll be honest, I dunno how good an idea that is. [Chewing on his lip.] I feel like - everybody's caught on that its Black Shadows that got prizes, and suspects Black Shadows did the last two kills.
I don't even know if that's true. But anything that might risk outing who's on Shadows' team might also put somebody in danger.
Can you give me a list of the items your bud from Black Shadows got? If you've got more than one bud, even better. I'll pool with what I know from other people and get it back to you.
That way, names are out of it unless we can nail down which item was used.
And then on Monday, maybe I can tell you my team and you can tell me yours.
Yeah, I can do that. I've got friends on all three teams, so I'll just ask around and see. [ she closes her eye briefly, with a bit of a sigh. ] Monday is good. Gives me enough time to get my ducks in a row, so to speak.
Deal. Also - feels likely Black Shadows will win again, because they've got more people. Plus, those guys are a bunch of overachieving nerds, is the rumor I heard. [Quirking a small grin.]
So - Monday means we could also compare notes on whatever prize somebody wins this week, too.
[ that makes her laugh, and she bites her lip to try and stop herself. god. ]
Definitely. [ sniff. ] Okay, so... Monday it is.
[ a pause. ] I know it's kind of out of nowhere to say it, but. This place... these places. It's made it almost easier and harder to make friends, you know?

I think this is gonna really send things to hell, Beau. Two killers floating around, and most of us think they're on one particular team.

I don't think it's a good idea to confirm or deny that. [ she says, soft. ] What's your reasoning, though?
no subject
no subject
That's pretty good reasoning. I could've stolen the item from someone, though.
no subject
[Shrugging.]
That's good enough for me. I really just want to get to chat with somebody, and figure out if the items they're getting are all the same.

If someone on Shadows uses an item they got and they kill, it narrows down our culprit list. We have to have something, Magnus.

Because you get the feeling you're not supposed to be doing it, which makes it more fun.
