WEEK 2 MINGLE - ARTEMISIA

[foundationmods]

Things had changed so rapidly in the past few days.

The loss of two of them hung over like a shroud, made even worse by the fact that an innocent person had been executed.

Was this....how the rest of the game was going to go...?🗈

....Even if it was, there wasn't much they could do now. Yuuko herself hasn't shown up in public since the trial, and while some have talked to her, she's been...subdued.

Did the trial hurt her just as much as them?

Regardless, the island is still beautiful, if deadly. Summer continues, beaming down on all of them, the waves of the sea warm and inviting.

But even if things look bleak...

They have something in their hands that will soon lead to the Truth, and the heart of this matter.

And in the air...lies a heavy sense that everything is about to change.

Who cares? People watching can't help us.

[anonnomnomnom]

They probably can't help us, but what if it's one of them interfering? If the Epitaph doesn't come from any of the Witches, then--

[He puts up a finger]

It's either from one of us, or-- [another finger] --somebody who knows what's going on in this Game. Right?

[chaoscontrol]

If they could interfere enough to leave us a complicated riddle carved in stone that's hidden from both witches, then they could do more. They're fucking with us for fun, just like the witches.

[anonnomnomnom]

I wonder about that. No matter how powerful someone is, they can still be bound by rules -- especially the rules in a Game like this. The more powerful people are involved, and the more the Game board is under their control, the harder it is to change things.

[There's something funny about the way he says that, but then he shakes his head and it's back to business as usual.]

It's also gotta be pretty dangerous, to make these Witches angry. It's probably not for fun!

[Probably.]

[chaoscontrol]

Are you telling me you don't believe ultra strong beings don't play with danger for fun? [Shadow scoffs] People, whether they're powerful witches or plain humans, always do dangerous things for the rush.

[anonnomnomnom]

[After a moment, Anon starts laughing.]

Okay, you got me there! But what about that freaky ghost that made Ruler cry, then?

It sounds more like they want us to cry for kicks!

[He still doesn't know what kinkshaming really means but making everyone cry for kicks seems to be the M.O. here.]

[chaoscontrol]

[he sighs]

.. Who the hell knows.
