Who: Buttercup, Ophiuchus
Where: Ophiuchus Dorms
When: Day 78, evening
What: ~~SLAVE LABOR~~ Slick's present to the team

[In the Ophiuchus dorms, Slick is leading a blind boy in green down the stairs. The boy has a black tag around his neck which reads 'Guest', and may be the solution to how he's gotten in the dorms to begin with.]

The stairs spiral, don't kill yourself.

((WATANUKI IS COOKING DINNER FOR OPHIUCHUS. For now you can harass him while he tries to feed us, and later there will be a thread for DINNER!))

Just like that?

*takes note of them though =| in case he needs to ghetto replicate some of this to feed himself later*

Yes! I'd ask why you can't tell, because it seems obvious to ME, but ...

You haven't even tasted any of it.

I don't need to! These things go together like this! That's just how it is.

[gets out some potatoes and other vegetables and starts to chop them up nicely]

What a weird ability.

A weird ability that's currently benefiting YOU.

Oh, don't get me wrong. Around here it's more useful than a lot of skills.

... what kinds of skills?

[puts water in the pot and starts it boiling]

*sits on the counter out of the way and smokes*

Hmmn. Without getting into much detail, there's a lot of strong people around here. But since you're generally not fighting each other, and food is mostly fish and vegetables, there's not much point to it.

Oh. So having a complete lack of fighting skills isn't so bad?

Just stay out of the way if a demon explodes out of anyone and starts killing everything that moves and you'll probably be fine.

............

Did that. Actually happen.

It did. It was defeated, eventually, but the death toll was fairly large, and after that the Judges set up a way to limit people's strength.

... you're not kidding, are you.

[s-sigh]

If that happens, I am staying way, waaay out of the way.

That's the best idea either way. The Judges may bring you back to life if you die in games, but outside one you'll cost your team heavily when they try to revive you.

C-cost? What kind of cost?

I don't know the details, but the Judge that does it has a thing for balance. Take as much as you give, and that sort of thing.

... and bringing someone back to life has a huge cost, doesn't it.

Probably.

Then I'll just have to avoid dying.

Good idea.
