[His was I was on a personal but traitorous neutral evil journey, and then seven idiots walked in saying they were gonna give back one of the beacons I stole by essentially stealing it themselves.]
I suppose yours ended up being convoluted accidentally.
[ And then you ended up dating one of them so win-win in the end? That's literally as far as my CR knowledge goes with Essek.
Anyway observe his souvenir which says 'I went to Prehevil and all I got was trauma and this stupid t-shirt'. ]
I'm no wiser to the truth, and if anything, I ended up with more questions. And as of my memories of my last moments prior to coming here enlightening me, I was well on my way into becoming... something inhuman, I'd wager.
So yeah. Feels like it was for nothing, if not worse.
No winner of the tournament. We never figured out the truth behind the machinery.
[ Hilariously! He's feeling nervous and not very confident about this whole machine plan you guys have got going on because he's already failed a machine route once!!! ]
Your timeline is doomed then...? [Like. Not literally really. Hypothetically. Listen, he's a time man.] According to Laudna, ours may be as well, or headed that way. She claims to have met me before. That a human man sent me to them, so it can't be too far into the future if he is still alive.
[ That being said, Daan is doomed no matter which ending/timeline you go so there's always that...! Hooray. ]
...I wouldn't know. Our lovely "host" of sorts never bothered to explain it. Only that we had three days, and there could only be one winner... one survivor.
[ok i have to admit it finally, this icon keeps giving me these vibes every time i see it and now that i think about maybe you'd play spike spiegel too i guess assigns you
NOT THE TIMELINE BEING FOREVER DOOMED welp. also looks directly into the camera.]
...So many of you have come from some other Plane to a place with almost the same conditionals. I do apologize even if I didn't really play a part in your summoning directly.
[ Pensively does the finger pushy thing...... I have a very distinct type and despite its hyperspecificity I manage to find it every time. ]
I'm not trying to...
[ He can't see them or chooses not to see them but the letters being like KILL are so funny. Daan's mostly just been like 'keep this number in mind and lay low until later' while other people are like SOUP! SOUP! SOUP! ]
I was trying to avoid saying anything that'd cause outright panic or make people jump the gun.
[LOOKS AT THE FUCKING SKY ABOUT THESE LETTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
You're one of few then. People have been trying to get their favorites on that side, but it has confused everyone here who believe there's some sort of stipulation, like the last five remaining, about who should go and who should stay.
I've never heard so many questions about why people were telling them to die. How should I know!
... I'll see who I can send a letter to clarify things to, even if it means butting in a bit on others' exchanges.
[ So funny, help. ]
I can't say I have any strong thoughts on this. Of course I'm loathe to demand certain people die over others, but being the survivors in that situation isn't exactly easier than being over here.
[ We're buttering. The living are in grief, and we're buttering. ]
Yeah, but it's a bit out of our hands since it isn't as if we can go over them and do the job on their behalf.
[ That'd probably be a kindness and Daan's brain-soup says it'd be for good causes but womp. Instead they can only send KILL letters and meme on Todomatsu's booth. ]
Especially presuming that even if we succeed in this machine, it'd just be counter-productive to show up over there until they've really fully failed the ritual anyway, right?
[ Imagine we just show up and restore the numbers before the cultists are even done giving up. ]
Why do you all keep insisting on coming back here? To what? Another locked dimensional Plane with an entire cult waiting to be at our throats plus some kind of primordial god? You are already on a separate dimensional Plane in which they have no access!
We won't know finalities until the ritual has hopefully failed, but it's an idea.
I didn't outright say that, but considering we died to get here, and over there is technically for the living, I do think default assumptions says that the proper order of things would be to return to that shitty camp.
[ He's just saying. It's nicer here but it's got that distinct aura of 'you're dead! womp.' that harshes the vibe. ]
Post-ritual though, ideally. And all that aside, I am a bit concerned for whatever the cult may be planning to do to our golden candidates as well as you two.
[ NOT THE PROZAC. Anyway wow he has never ridiculed either of you. ]
I know you have more power than any of us do, but that doesn't mean we should just blindly believe you can handle it all. Especially for a group who clearly thought dealing with forty of us wasn't going to be a problem.
I think you've done enough so far. And better you are there considering. It may be rather bad for us if an afflicted individual is left at the end of this with us here.
[ I mean, he gets it. He's fucking crazy. Genuinely would've spent the rest of his time alive as a cheerful too-friendly version of him, just your local neighbourhood guy who's more than happy to kill again if he didn't get executed. ]
I've tried to imply as such without direct words to people as well. Hopefully they understood what I meant.
[ Sometimes you have literally two monsters sitting in your brainspace okay he deserves to get to at least write it off as crazy which is the kinder term. ]
...I'll issue out those letters. What I can send is limited and the latest information tends to arrive on Sunday, so I need to save a few just in case, but as I recall they arrive per-house anyway.
[ Or fuckin'. Building. Whatever. Place we ostensibly live in but also not really. ]

Did you think your story was all over, though? You were becoming inhuman, but... what if you discovered the truth almost at the end?

Nothing you can do about it, so no need to apologise.
Well. We can do all our best to get out of here, there's always that.

Yes, perhaps if all of you over there cease scaring the others here half to death in your letters.

[It's funny, and they're dying.]
Don't misunderstand. You all are just as much in danger as we are over here, not until we have full certainty the ritual fails.
no subject
Yeah, but it's a bit out of our hands since it isn't as if we can go over them and do the job on their behalf.

[prozacs you prozacs you prozacs you]
Muelsyse and I, as much as you all enjoy ridiculing us in jest, are not useless. We will do what we have to in order to protect those that are left.
no subject
I know you have more power than any of us do, but that doesn't mean we should just blindly believe you can handle it all. Especially for a group who clearly thought dealing with forty of us wasn't going to be a problem.
no subject
We aren't asking you to blindly believe, or sit back, but we are asking you to trust us.
Otherwise, there will never be five left. No one will have the courage to be left here.

Still, I do. They're in your hands. Would that I could do any more.

[Nothing against Daan. Just pragmatism.]

I think they are getting it. At least, the last I've spoken to some of them, they were on track. Aside from the scare.
no subject

It would be appreciated. Detective.
[Die being called detective. Well, I guess he technically did.]
We'll do most of what we can ourselves, me and Muelsyse. So don't worry.
