WEEK 4 - VENUS FLYTRAP

[foundationmods]

Another week dawned.

But after the events at the trial, more than a few people would have wanted for time to stop still.

In this game, even unshakable loyalties....could be broken.🗈

If that were the case, then what was stopping even more horrible crimes from happening this thursday night?
And they knew they could do nothing to stop it from happening.

...Still, they had to continue the game, until one or both of the Witches admitted defeat, or the game itself came to a close.

Yet, they also felt as if something might change. Some big reveal felt as if it was just around the corner....but for now, it seemed as if they had to play the waiting game.

No matter how awful that felt.

My name isn't actually Syaoran. I used to be blind in my right eye. I've lived for twenty-two years.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Hm... it'd be a bit unfair for me to try this one.

[keydomhearts]

Oh? Do you have all the answers?

[oceanicbutterfly]

All the answers? No. But most people find it difficult to hide things like their identities from me.

[excavated]

[ interrupting ]

Then do you want to actually guess?

[oceanicbutterfly]

You aren't twenty-two.

[excavated]

I've actually lived for twenty-two years, so that isn't a lie. Even if my age is fifteen.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Well, I was close.

[vinea what does that even mean in this context]

[excavated]

Well there are only two other choices.

[anonnomnomnom]

Is the name thing a trick question?

[There's like 20,000 questions he could be asking here but nope. Starting straight off with that one.

Though he is peering at his eye as though expecting it to show some sign of being ex-blind, a new eye or a glass eye or whatever. You just never know.....]

[excavated]

[ Both of his eyes look normal, actually. ]

That's just something that you'll have to guess.

[anonnomnomnom]

Hmmm. I'm going to say you're probably not twenty-two, because you had to look up sex books.

[Look, this is a legit reasoning.]

[excavated]

[ SUDDEN EMBARRASSMENT NOW ] I. . . have lived twenty-two years, actually.

[anonnomnomnom]

[He just gives him a cheeky grin.]

I guess that was something your father forgot to teach you, then. That's really too bad!

[Honestly I never wanted to think about Anon's father teaching him the birds and the bees but here we are anyway. Hm.]

So, is it the eye thing?

[excavated]

It is. My father was blind in that eye, actually.

[anonnomnomnom]

Ah. So, you're actually twenty-two... You look totally well-preserved.

[He's messing with him.]

[excavated]

Well, my body is still fifteen, though. Even if I might have lived all those years.

[anonnomnomnom]

Really well-preserved. So, does that make you the average of the two? Maybe you're actually like, eighteen or something?

[excavated]

Ah, no, it's just... I had my time reversed. By Yuuko-san, seven years ago. Or I guess it's eight, now.

[anonnomnomnom]

So, what, she made you look younger? Is that what reversed means...?

[excavated]

It's more that. . . when I was this age, all those years ago. She wound back my time seven years. But not just my time. Everyone's.

[anonnomnomnom]

Ooh. Was that part of the wish stuff you were talking about? The taboo stuff? That sounds like pretty taboo stuff, if you dragged everyone else along with you.

[When will he have tact.jpg.]

[excavated]

Yes. [ He answers easily with no hesitance. ]

[anonnomnomnom]

So, like, everyone in your world is just eight years younger than they're supposed to be? That's got to be really confusing...

[He cocks his head as he thinks this over some more.]

Why did you do something like that, anyway?

[excavated]

Not just in my world. In all worlds. [ Syaoran's from a multiverse, so. There you go. ] And I did it to save the person most important to me. Even if it meant creating a sin.
