WEEK 5 MINGLE - AMARANTHUS

Another trial, another horrible outcome.

This time, it affected so many people...and yet, they still weren't done.
Who would be killed next?
Would they be able...to handle whatever happened?🗈

Still, things were just the same as they had been the past few weeks.

The goats and servants were still around, and so too were the witches.
It was all becoming routine at this point.
Was that a good thing, or a bad one...?
It was...too hard to tell, now...

...Either way, they were now closer to the end.
So, like always...they had to see it through.

[WOW RUDE, changing names is trendy!!1

But anyway off to the sitting room they go! And Watanuki is there, with tea prepared for all three of them at a low table with cushions to sit on. When Joey and the woman enter, he looks up to them and smiles.]

Hello, []. It's been a while.

[Hmm. Did he just say a name there? It feels like he did, but Joey can't quite make out what that name was.

The woman seems stunned, though.]

"How do you know my name? And why are you speaking like we have met before?"

[Watanuki just smiles in return. But what will Joey do?]

[Honestly, lady, mood.]

[Joey's picking up something, though. This sounds like Watanuki's past, but wasn't Yuuko older than him? And she should definitely know him. And her name is definitely important. She steps back, facing Watanuki and standing on the woman's side of the discussion.]

I'm curious, too. I mistook her for someone else myself apparently, so I'm wondering...

[At that, Watanuki chuckles.]

You're thinking a bit too far back, I suspect. Though it has been a long, long time since then, so I can understand your confusion. Yuuko, Nirrti, [], they're all names that have been used before.

[And then, his attention turns back to the woman, who has not yet sat down at the table.]

But let's start with you. There's something on your mind, isn't there? Some nagging thought that keeps you awake at night.

[The woman is still guarded, but her eyes look a little sad when Watanuki says that. And while she is reluctant to admit to anything, she does eventually speak.]

"It...it feels like misfortune follows me everywhere. Ever since I was born, things have gone wrong. People get sick, things break down, and nothing seems to go right. I don't know why this bad luck has attached itself to me, but..."

[Watanuki holds up a hand to stop her.]

It's alright. You're coming into a power that you haven't yet had much experience with. Calling it 'misfortune' may not be entirely accurate, though. Sit with us, and we can discuss it further?

[The woman hesitates, and she casts one more glance at Joey before sitting down.]

"...alright."

[Then Joey is brought back to the mansion, positioned just as she was in the vision.

...and Watanuki apparently ate shit right into the ground at some point, because he is snoozing with his face pressed against the floor.]

[Joey sighs.]

Are you just narcoleptic on top of being a witch...?

[Joey ponders on this. So. Who was that? A human form of Nirrti? She seemed connected, but also confused. And relatively nice. She'd thought the face and the name were connected, but maybe not in Watanuki's dreams?]

[Right. She should bring this up with the others later. Right now, let's...man, he's too tall to carry. Let's go get some cushions from the sitting room.]
