From the white lights, the darkness comes...

[sageking]

Today's trial was a mixture of regret, anger, guilt, and second-thoughts. Perhaps some people realized that situations and choices weren't to be black or white. However, decisions were made, and whether it'd be through people keeping secrets or causing a ton of chaos...everyone could probably agree on one thing:

They've made their choices and no matter what happened in the coming days, they will lie in the beds they made for themselves. Whatever that should mean for each and every single person still living here.

That being said, there's still new choices to make. In the days to come, what will those be?

[He's almost always in the mood for headpats- and Giovanni correcting himself makes him chuckle]

Sure Captain, what do you need?

[soupervillain]

[ You're a good boy, Sissel. Giovanni's heart lifts, as it always does upon hearing his proper title from one of his minions, and a weary smile creeps onto his face. ]

That's what I like to hear! Okay, you remember my cool necklace?

[ He lifts the necklace in question out from under his shirt, in case Sissel doesn't. ]

Hey, it kinda looks like you, huh? Little whiskers and everything. Anyway, hard as it may be to believe, this does not only function to make me look incredibly cool and stylish. It's actually got a power, and, well, I feel like it could be kind of dangerous? So I'm appointing you Sub-Necklace Guardian! If anything ever happens to me, and I'm not saying it will, it's your job to make sure this doesn't fall into the wrong hands!

...Okay, since I stole it, I guess my hands are already the wrong hands. But. The wronger hands!

Gio...

[He doesn't like the idea of his death at all. But he can't argue since he had a similar conversation with Romani earlier in their stay. So he nods]

Okay, I'll handle it.

[soupervillain]

[ What happened to "Captain"?? Still... ]

You are the goodest boy imaginable, Hellcat.

[ Pat pat scritch scritch. ]

Don't sound so sad - nothing's going to happen to me if I can help it! I swear to you with all my integrity as a Banzai Captain! This is just... in the very, very unlikely case that I can't help it.

[ It's taken him so long to ask because he doesn't want to own up to the idea that he, the unbeatable Giovanni Potage, might die here. But after losing eight friends in the span of the last two weeks... Giovanni's confidence has finally, just a little bit, cracked. ]

So you need me to demonstrate about the powers, or you want to take my word for it?
