Like with deadly games?

Mmm. They try to make it so all the teams hate each other. By making us do things like pick who lives and who dies.

One game they made us all pick who our favorites were, a Judge we thought was kind did it.

Then she turned the game over to the dangerous Judge, Trickster. He had everyone pick who would die and how.

. . .

. . . does it work? Making the teams hate each other after those kinds of games.

Mmm. Grudges get held.

I see.

...Monoceros has no actual grudges held against them, though. Lepus is the one who is hated.

Why Lepus?

They're one of the strongest teams. Before the bracers... [taps bracer] ...Mao was so strong he could leave craters in the walls with just a punch. Well, Almaz too. But he's not short tempered or strange like Mao.

So he seems really dangerous.

...also he poisoned my teammate on purpose once....

. . .

...I'm not traumatizing you am i

. . . no, I'm not traumatized.

Oh good. I have to check sometimes.

I'll let you know if it starts getting to that.

That's terapedes.

If there's ever terapedes that you can actually avoid, at your size you're going to get grabbed off the ground by a teammate so you should be okay.

. . . what's a terapede?

Bugs that eat people alive.

I think even Lepus is afraid of terapedes.

. . .

I don't . . . think I can really blame them.

Its pretty horrible.

It sounds like it . . . geez.

Any questions?

. . . tons.

I'm here.

Thanks . . . I'm still absorbing everything, so . . . can I ask you about things later?

Sure. Just uhm, try to catch me out and about. I'm not usually inside Cepheus except at night or when I'm cooking.

[nods]

I'll probably run into you, there's a lot to see here. . . . well, where I'm allowed to go, at least.
