WEEK 4


[It is late in the afternoon when the Titled finally wake up from their long, vivid sleep. What day is it? Maybe it doesn't matter.

They weren't awake when it happened, but the final set of doors have opened. The Intercessor hasn't emerged from their room. There is no sign of the grumpy old man. And, the Titled may notice that nothing has been cleaned up - including the remains of those who prompted the Investigation - since they went into the Debate Hall. No new food has been supplied in the Kitchen, either.

The only replenishing food supply is in the Conservatex - who knows when those'll get ripped out from the ground out of spite, though. Their captors certainly showed themselves to not be above petty revenge, unfortunately.

So many questions now swirl. Is the old man hiding? Is the Intercessor ok? What the hell happened with the dragon? What about that other group which the Titled have come to realize exist? What did their captors have planned? And...really, what the hell else is going to happen now?

Whatever it is, it's not going to be good.

So get ready, Titled.

There are nine (but perhaps only eight?...) strangers in this place.]

Hell no! We're not eating our pets!

[zephyranthe]

What if we're starving, though?

[It's not like she has a taste for dog meat or anything, but you know. Gotta make the most of what they have or something???]

[carries_war]

We'll figure something out.

[Crossing his arms. Huff huff how dare.]

[zephyranthe]

Like the dragon?

[Look at that pile of delicious lizard meat... truly a delicacy.]

[carries_war]

Some of the bits of it did look tasty... [Like the human bits.] But I'm not sure it's safe to eat after all that poison. Not to mention the junk you fed it...

[zephyranthe]

We can avoid the organs? There's gotta be some parts that are salvageable. Better to take it and preserve it now instead of realize later that we could've done it.

[carries_war]

I guess we could ask Cessy for some of their antitoxins, just in case...

[zephyranthe]

Better to have 'em than not. Maybe we'll fight something with poison next time, too.

[carries_war]

We almost definitely will. That sword they got stabbed with was poisoned.

[zephyranthe]

[Well shit. That's news to her.]

Oh well. I don't really make it a habit to get hit anyways.

[highest natural evade in the game aw yeah She'd rather not have to waste supplies, after all.]

I wonder if we can wash or burn it off, though.
