It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world

[hesperos]

[ So, Yuri's going to be going around, putting up slips of paper for everyone to see, because even with everything that was that trial, he is sure it could help. He doesn't know--it's worked from time to time before anyway and someone should do it. ]



[ Yuri, for once, is going to be making some food for the afterparty that isn't desserts. On his side of things, his food is generally going to be geared towards something more western-style and hearty. In essence, there is some things of curry with beef, chicken, and vegetables in them, take your pick. Sayaka and Kyrie also will be assisting with food, providing stuff that is likely to be geared towards something asian.

This whole set up, of course, is going to be done in the dining hall, since that's where it usually is. ]

[ There's a moment of silence on Yuri's part, before he just ends up giving Luca a smile of sorts. He has a lot of faith in him--more than he would most people. Maybe it's because he's been talking to him for so long and seen so much of him that he refuses to think otherwise. ]

I'm pretty damn sure. It's because I'd also say I'm a good judge of character--it helps that I know you well by now.

1/2

[notaccurate]

[Fuck. He'd spent a week telling himself it would never happen, but that smile still gets to him.]

2/2

[notaccurate]

[He is definitely interested in looking at his plate now, his food looks so interesting.]

Thank you for the vote of confidence, I suppose. Hopefully it doesn't end up being misplaced.

[hesperos]

[ He'll definitely notice that, but still, it doesn't affect his answer. ]

It won't.

[ Yuri's sure of that at least. ]

[notaccurate]

[Darn you and your being confident in your trust in others-

Luca is suddenly struck by a rather horrifying thought. One that gets him to actually look up at Yuri and frown.]

It better not be you either.

[He says as he jabs his fork in Yuri's direction accusingly.]

[hesperos]

[ It's just the way he is. ]

... Heh, didn't expect someone to say something like that to me.

[ He sounds amused, if anything. Maybe he shouldn't be. ]

Guess I can't guarantee whether it is or isn't me with the whole memory thing going on.

[notaccurate]

It could be anyone here, I suppose. But I would be the most disappointed if it were you.

[Because he's pretty sure they're supposed to kill or vote out these 'four people', and he really doesn't want to do that to Yuri.]

[hesperos]

I figure you would.

[ Yuri snorts, but then - ]

Maybe it'll all work out somehow.

[notaccurate]

[Yep, he's forever obvious. Especially since he already told Yuri why he's biased about that.]

Hoping for the best sounds nice, but it hasn't worked out too well so far.

[hesperos]

No, it hasn't.

[ ... He rubs the back of his head. He's thinking of saying something, but then he decides to just take some more meat from his food instead. ]

[notaccurate]

[Night of a thousand unspoken words, then?]

I have been considering having a talk with Hilda, to ask her how this 'game' will end, exactly. Because we are all too crafty to be fooled by a murderer, but even if people keep murdering we will eventually run out of people. Or the group will be too small to have a trial.

[hesperos]

[ Yuri stops from taking another bite, a frown set squarely on his face for a moment before his expression becomes something that is unreadable as he considers Luca's words. ]

Might as well give it a try. I chatted her up a bit at least once already, so it's probably not a lost cause to ask.

[ This can't go on for much longer, he knows that, given there's so many less people now. But he doesn't think he needs to voice that. ]

[notaccurate]

[Luca nods in agreement. He's trying not to think of just how small their numbers will have to get to be unable to vote anymore.]

Did you get anything useful out of her?

[hesperos]

Not really. The only other thing we talked about was what happened with the judgement with Alena.

[ He'll move to place his feet up. ]

[notaccurate]

[Luca just. Glances over at the feet now on the table. So much rudeness.]

...well. What did she have to say about that?

[hesperos]

[ He does what he wants!! ]

She said that they've decided not to reverse the judgment after talking about it. She seemed pretty pissed about it, but that's about it.

[notaccurate]

...

Can they even reverse something as permanent as death?

[hesperos]

Well, considering everything, it's probably possible.

[ He'll shrug though. ]

[notaccurate]

[...huh. Now the gears are turning in his head.]

I wonder if we could get someone in the same working position as them to bring everyone back to life, if they can truly do that.

[Then he thinks of Kotomine and what he did to Estelle.]

...most everyone, that is.

[hesperos]

If someone's feeling like being generous, yeah. Maybe we'll have to get a little rough to make it happen.

[ ... There's a bit of a pause. ]

Yeah, mostly everyone.

[ Though lbr there is going to be someone who will advocate for Kotomine to come back alive. There is always someone. However, Yuri is definitely not going to be one of those people. ]

[notaccurate]

[Watch it be Estelle advocating for Kotomine to come back to life. You know she would.]

Surely the Coordinators have a boss, and if we muck up this game enough maybe they will intervene.

[hesperos]

[ Maybe!!

There's a bit of a pause. His expression shifts slightly, as he's...thinking about something. ]

... Even if this person intervened and we got everyone back to life, we'd also definitely would have to find a way to stop this game once and for all.

[notaccurate]

[Luca...hadn't thought that far ahead, actually. He has been focused on 'get out, go rescue the other group' so far.]

Do you think that is possible? To end this all, I mean.

[hesperos]

If we don't want to end up in another set up we're going to need to find a way. Since that is something that could happen if we don't put a stop to this, you know.

[ ... Or they could grab more of his friends and -- Yuri doesn't want to think about it.

"Maybe eventually we can take care of this, too."

A reminder from an earlier week of sorts, but one he's needed. ]

[notaccurate]

...

I hadn't considered that possibility.

[Okay yeah, living through two of these games sounds a little frightening.]
