Huh. So where are these Judges. . .?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Not the kindest of rulers then.

You say to avoid them, but how successful are you at that?

Uh . . .

Well. If anyone ever knocks on the door? Ask who it is first. Always ask who it is first, and don't open the door until you've confirmed who it is.

And outside of games, they don't really show themselves very often. Foreman was around last night - he's one of the acceptable judges, I guess - and Messenger visits from time to time, so . . . eh.

Er. . .that sounds like common sense, but alright.

So in general, the games are the primary places we'll be dealing with them?

Pretty much.

[scratches head]

That doesn't sound too difficult. How often do those other games occur, the ones you're afraid of?

[makes a face at the "afraid" part]

Not . . . too often. And the guy who usually holds 'em - Trickster, he's . . . I don't know where he is right now. Something happened to him and he's either MIA or dead. . . . which is unlikely, but everyone's got a different theory.

Why is it unlikely? How was he 'killed'?

He kind of . . . fell apart into sand.

. . .is that how everyone dies?

Not even close.

Then why sand?

I don't know, but during the parties for the people who have won, judges show up as sand-shaped people, so . . . [shrugs]

Who the hell knows the truth.

. . .

Have you tried just killing a Judge in a normal way? Like attempting to stab them?

They're statues most of the time, and I wouldn't recommend it, either. As tempting as it can be sometimes.

. . .statues. That would make inflicting damage difficult.

Just a little.

[dang there go my thoughts of ~~assassination~~ justified rebellion!!]

Well! You mentioned parties! A true win must be a sight to behold. What else is there?

[GOOD]

Heh, it is. One of our former members, Tavi - he was the first to win.

Uh . . . I can explain which team is what? What else IS there . . .

Really now. Comforting to know I'm with a team that's made it that far at least once.

Sure. I met someone from Delphinus, but other than that. . .

Two people from Cygnus one, too but yeah - our team was the first.

Let's see . . . Delphinus is partnered with Pavo, who's light purple - there's a girl on that team, Feathers? She's someone I know from where I'm from. I don't know the rest of 'em all that well, though.

Allen's from Lacerta, who's that color green - and they're partnered with Canis, who's the color blue.

There's another green, which is Hydra, and I've got someone on there that I know from home, too. They're partnered with Vulpecula, who's orange. [nods at Kaito]

Orion is yellow, and they're with Cepheus, who's dark purple - if you ever have any questions about this place or past stuff, Red on Cepheus is the guy to go to. He knows everything.

Last is Monoceros, in white, who's partnered with Lepus, in brown. Uh . . . we're friends with Monoceros' leader Almaz, but Lepus is . . . er. Well, I'll get into that another time.

[wooooow]

And each of these teams compete in the games. Who wins the most, or is the toughest competition?

Lacerta wins pretty often. Pavo had a winning streak back when they first woke up, but . . . [shrugs] It changes.

All the games are different, based on the judge. Like I said, some of 'em are dangerous, but some of 'em are games of skill, or guessing games, or getting shitfaced off of alcohol and doing stupid things.

So really, everyone's competition, no matter how many times they win.

Aaah, how random. I suppose it would be boring if everything were so predictable though!

Alright then, so clearly we just have to do our best no matter the game, no matter the team we're up against.

Pretty much, yeah. You learn fast.

Haha! Better a fast learner than holding you all back, right?
