[They can move in turn... but the first limb to be called? Still stuck where they placed it, except in Higekiri's case. He can shift his hand to its new place.]
[Yeah that's fair as hell. Anyway since he can turn, he's going to be shifting so his left foot is on the nearest yellow circle and his back is facing the center of the playing board.]
Who knows! We seem to be doing pretty well, I guess...?
[Or at least none of them have been injured yet or unleashed angry dolls so like. Better than before!!]
[hey quick q why does the spinner hate kagachi and only kagachi]
You've got to be kidding me...
[stop staring at him??
the good news is that even if he's no ballet dancer, kagachi's fairly flexible!
the bad news is that HE HAS A FRACTURED WRIST, YOU JACKASSES. he bends over easily enough, but yeah, pain sure is flaring up his arm now. this is great. why do you all get the easy moves!!]
[The mat releases them, and the spinner above slowly comes to a stop; the speaker is still activated, though, and upon completion they'll hear the same voice as before continue to speak.]

Oh - this one isn't so bad!

The spinner speaks again:]
TWO ROUNDS REMAINING.
WEST PLAYER: LEFT HAND ON RED.
NORTH PLAYER: LEFT HAND ON YELLOW.
SOUTH PLAYER: LEFT FOOT ON YELLOW.

[the twister gods love hige apparently because he’s just going to up and shift and place his left hand down on the closest red!!
they’re trying to keep him out of the mix with kagachi and wwx and that’s honestly valid]
no subject
[kagachi places his left hand on the yellow just diagonal to him, careful not to agitate his probable fracture.]

ONE ROUND REMAINING.
WEST PLAYER: LEFT FOOT RED.
NORTH PLAYER: RIGHT FOOT GREEN.
SOUTH PLAYER: RIGHT HAND BLUE.

and then puts his left foot down next to his hand
that’s it that’s all he does
he stares at kagachi while he does it]
Good luck!

Ah, looks like the bad luck transferred to you somehow.
