COCKBLOCKERS: EDELGARD, GRUNE, TAMAMO

[fullthottle]

COCKBLOCKER On Monday afternoon, all three of their clamshells will ping! from wherever they have them. Should they pick it up to see what all the fuss is about, Tamamo will realize that their RULEBOOK app has updated to version 2.0. There are a total of six new rules on their list now, though they are unreadable to anyone aside from her... Tamamo, who has not seen these rules before, will see the following: 1. Each week, you may protect ONE participant from being killed by ONE OF YOUR OWN. 2. You MAY NOT protect the same individual TWICE IN A ROW. 3. This protection will be extended to the FIRST PERSON you bang after your weekly meeting. 4. This protection will NOT TAKE EFFECT if you tell someone you are sleeping with them to protect them. 5. You may PRIVATELY CONFIRM YOUR ROLE if asked, but you may not FREELY OFFER THE INFORMATION to others. 6. You must remember that you SHARE A COMMON GOAL. All three of them, however, will get a notification!

Particularly, one that doesn't seem to fit into any part of the hotel, and absolutely not one that they meant to go through. As they regain their bearings and look at their surroundings, they'll realize that the door they walked through is no longer there. It seems like they have only one choice, and that's to walk through A BATHROOM WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF GRAFFITI until they reach their destination. Except... this time, something is NOT QUITE RIGHT...

Thiiiink about it. Was the person you picked in any huge amount of danger last week, but somehow managed to get out of it alive even though it made no fucking sense that they did?

[hegemonstrous]

Oh. I...was he?

[She legitimately isn’t aware.]

Well, if we saved Kagachi’s life, I’m glad of it. But also, I won’t be satisfied with less than a perfect success. Polly, tell me - we’ve been operating under the assumption that a demon could possess any of us. But thus far, only people without roles have been demons. Meaning that after Taako’s role is handed out, the demon will be in the last person remaining without a role.

Is there any merit to this line of thinking...?

[yaaaasss]

I heard from some people that he was.

[as for the rest of that - Polly's expression turns serious]

No, that's just been [rng] luck. It's always been possible for anyone to get possessed. And... [she hesitates, looking for a moment like she's trying to decide whether or not she wants to push her luck given what happened last week] ...let's just say Escha isn't the only person with a role who's been exorcised.

[hegemonstrous]

...I see. Dimitri or Maou then. Thank you, Polly. That will save us some wasted efforts.

Other than our investigators getting lucky, is there any way to find them?

[yaaaasss]

[she shakes her head]

Other than following the evidence they leave behind when they kill someone and they have a trial... not really. That's what the investigators are for. You could make a guess yourself and go after them, but...

[That has the potential to go really, really poorly.]

...the possibility of people making guesses and getting it wrong is why Tamamo's role is a thing.

[hegemonstrous]

[Frustrated!]

You know I appreciate you, Polly, but why did you choose me for this role? I’m - I want to destroy our enemies. But I’m not a soft person. I’m willing to make sacrifices and take losses to win. Providing support and protection is - it isn’t me. I’m accustomed to being on the front lines.

[This is a lot of bitching over getting to save lives.]

[yaaaasss]

That's exactly why I chose you, Eddie. You can make the hard calls about who to protect... or who not to.

If people get protected based on feeling alone, there might as well be no protection at all, you know?

...sorry. I know it's hard on you.

[hegemonstrous]

I’m not complaining because it’s difficult. Hardship is nothing to me.

[She sighs, rubbing her forehead. She does appreciate that reasoning.]

I suppose I oughtn’t complain for any reason. You’ve given me a powerful tool, and if I cannot adapt to wield it, that is my own shortcoming, not yours. I must do better.

...Tell me. You were nearly killed by the demons for helping us. Is that something we could prevent? If we chose you, or Chuuya, could we prevent you from being harmed by the demons and free you to help us more?

[yaaaasss]

You're doing great as you are. Don't worry about it. At least you didn't fuck up as hard as I did!

[her expression flickers for just a brief moment - but then she's smiling again.]

...but I wouldn't do that if I were you. Even if you ignore the we-keep-reviving stuff, really big stuff just comes out like... [she makes a staticky noise between her teeth] That. I wouldn't be able to tell you much even if the demons couldn't kill me for it.

[hegemonstrous]

You didn't fuck up, Polly. Well, unless you're referring to releasing the demons in the first place after trying to murder three people so you could bed a sex demon. But other than that, you've been wonderful.

[Thanks, Edelgard...]

[yaaaasss]

I super fucked up.

[THAT WHOLE UNLEASHING DEMONS THINGS IS PRETTY BAD.]

...I was exactly the kind of dumb bitch I was supposed to be.

[foxweddings]

-- That's why we survived?!?

[Just screeching from her corner]

[yaaaasss]

Surprise!
