Who: SOME DUDE IN YELLOW (and his shouta ghost)
Where: The main room of Orion dorms (and, eventually, just outside, if you need an excuse)
When: Day 83, Morning.
What: Intro~

*The new blank has promptly confiscated the largest knife he can find, and his holding it with a fair amount of confidence for someone who has no memory of how to use it. It is not time to systematically check all the other rooms in the dorms. He pushes the doors open quietly, and seems quite prepared to stab anyone if necessary.

And, for those who can see such things, there is a small ghost child floating behind him*

*nooooot understanding, but stays quiet until he can see it himself*

[it's not far, so they're prob. coming up on it now]

I'm afraid the rest of it is rather barren.

*Well, these broken buildings are a bit nostalgic somehow. Looks up*

That's it?

What were you expecting?

Something useful. Does it do anything?

That's your own fault for having such a narrow definition. It provides light sometimes, if you must have something useful.

You said it had value.

*heading toward the GIANT CHAIR*

And it does.

[followin']

I don't understand you. What's this?

*gestures to the throne*

There's more to things than use.

In any case, that's where the Judges appear when they want to reveal themselves. They'll only be in that place when there's a Game.

*that's a biiiiig throne =|a*

Do they fit it?

((lol yesterday was surprise full work day))

((dooo not worry I've been pretty swamped by family anyhow |D))

Mm. They enjoy spectacle.

Have you tried to fight them?

Another has. It ended very poorly.

*begins walking around the arena*

What happened?

[absently shadowing]

He misjudged his power and released a beast that took the efforts of all and the deaths of many here to defeat. The Judge was not affected by the attack. The only lasting result was that our capabilities were limited further.

Limited?

[holds up bracer arm]

Through this. It dilutes whatever capabilities you might have had, and leaves you mentally blank if you remove it.

Aren't we already?

To an extent. But this is much more severe. You wouldn't be able to remember something you learned a minute ago.

*gives bracer a DISAPPROVING LOOK*

So they can be threatened.

Hardly. The punishment was more a reassertion of power than anything inspired by fear.

If they're confident in their power, why reassert it? What does it matter to them if our strength is limited?

They still see rebellion as an annoyance if not a threat, I presume. But a battle merely annoying for them could be devastating for you. So whatever you're thinking, stop it for your sake.

What else?
