YOU MAY BE A LOVER BUT YOU AIN'T NO DANCER

HELTER SKELTER

[Well, Champions, it certainly does look like you're trapped here.

There's limited food and limited supplies... and while there's a limited number of you, there's certainly too many of you for what you've got on hand. Never mind the whole deal that you've been kidnapped and shoved into someone else's house. Like, who even does that?

And all to "send a message," besides. Whatever that even means.

Regardless, things aren't going to change by just sitting and moping around. You're here until your captor decides he's done with you, so while there's no guarantee that acting won't just make things worse, it's got to be at least a little better than this.

Right?]

[There's a lot she could say about that. Ask how it is to fly, why are birds in charge...]




Poultry are the easiest source of meat where I am from. I knew someone who would have tried to eat you for saying that.

[But she's kinda mean.]

cw: bird cannibalism?!?

[narcoolepsysensei]

[...It's probably bad that he doesn't look shocked at all.]

Oh, of course. It's similar from my world, as well.

Poultry is such a regular item on our school's cafeteria menu that there's even a rumor among the students that sometimes students disappear only to wind up on lunch trays.

[WHY ARE YOU SO OKAY WITH THIS NANAKI]

what a thread

[stopfen]

[Yeah, that checks out. You know, hawks and songbirds...]

If that's true then you're authorities are just as competent than ours used to be.

[narcoolepsysensei]

Haha. More or less.

[He actually looks a little sad about that one.]

It's sort of funny. I ought to be one of the authorities, too. And yet.

[stopfen]

[She really, really wants to question how he has a job if that's the case. But...]

Glad to see it's the same there as back home then. Our instructor told us most of us would end up eaten.

[She can't even manage to look upset, that's just normal events.]

[narcoolepsysensei]

...Hm. I didn't think humans were a food group?

[He looks mildly curious.]

Don't get me wrong, though. I do what I can. But it's difficult when your target keeps slipping between your fingers.

[stopfen]

Anything can be food as long as something bigger is around...

[Everything can be something stronger's prey.]


So you're actually trying to catch them?
