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.]

[sighs and shrugs slightly as he pets Kazu's hair]

I... I'll go check it again tomorrow.

I... thought you guys said that thing was just up in the North.

It's... spreading.

Spreading...

What's gonna happen, Stephan?

[hugs him again]

We have to trust Mirror to help protect us, and we do the best we can.

[ ...tenses a little at that ]

What about the others? The guys on the other teams?

Many of the other teams have their own patrons to look to. If their patrons won't help them, I don't think there's much that can be done for it.

Several teams have taken patronage -- Monoceros was one of the last. Lepus used to be bound to Surgeon until he was destroyed after... showing us all something important about the past. Mirror is his daughter, but it is best not to mention that to her. It upsets her -- some of the things that he did. I think it may be part of the reason she sought us once he was gone.

Hm... as best I know though, Cepheus is bound to Librarian, Pavo to the Foreman, Delphinus to Messenger, Hydra to... Flowers, and Lacerta is bound to Persona. I'm not sure if other teams have received offers.

[ --wait ]

Judges can die?

... 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.
