(no subject)

Who: All the good little anti-entropy engine girls and boys and others
Where: On the way back towards the dorms
When: Day 258, evening, so very shortly after Good Ends
What:

[As the festivities end and it’s time to head back to dorms, there seems to hang an uneasy feeling that has nothing to do with bittersweet goodbyes. The particularly astute may notice an uncomfortable stillness about; not a living thing is out and active, save the Blanks. Even the river seems stilled, as if holding its breath. The more sensitive can probably feel it coming, whatever it is. Even the insensitive may find something about the walk home distasteful.]

[oh boy, outside, where the ground wants to eat us. at least Cetus is right there.

not bothering to knock, just throwing the door open and heading in, loudly announcing as he does so]

It's Orion!

[except Wolfwood doesn't. he stays inside the doorframe, looking at the ground outside like it might kill him as soon as he sets foot on it.]

[Barges right in behind Emil.]

Cetus? Are you here?

Come on.

[not wasting any time, heading into Cetus to check while Mitsuru talks to Wolfwood]

[it takes the better part of a minute for him to finally move, stepping outside and crossing over to Cetus, movements all rigid and screaming of fear.]

[Waits until you're in the dorm and then starts walking again, giving you a long look but no comment.]

Cetus? Hello?

[going to go ransack the bedrooms while you call for them. not that this a particularly logical way to look for people, people are not likely to be inside their clothes drawers, BUT SINCE WHEN DOES LOGIC HAVE A SAY IN THIS MATTER]

... I would say more they are destroyed. Surgeon wasn't the first -- that was Trickster, and I believe the Weaver was destroyed when Surgeon was.

So that means they're not invincible either. They're not...

...can they really protect us from what's happening?

Mirror has promised to do everything she can to help us survive it. In her own way, she loves us, but... she also needs us, I think. Maybe even more than we need her.

"Survive"...

By winning, right?

Yeah. It may not happen often, but it does happen.

...what makes that kind of win a win? Everyone I've seen so far get out on their own.. there's not even one teammate with them.

Don't teams win Games together? So why don't they...

It's a different kind of winning, I suppose. People come in on their own, I guess it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that they have to leave on their own too.
