[ OH SHIT RIGHT ZIPS MY MOUTH ON EVERYTHING there's so much though. I CAN FIND YOU A SPOILER FREE GUIDE IF YOU WANT I FOUND A GOOD ONE. ]

...

[ he takes a sip of bourbon. ]

Anyway. Now we've just got the party to get through?

[ontrend]

[...hm. he frowns at that.]

...supposedly. Although it's not... [he drums his fingers on the countertop.] They said Satan wouldn't reschedule the party for anything, so we wouldn't be having another trial.

That's not the same thing as saying "no one else is gonna die".

[psynchronise]

Oh, the answer is more "I think a lot of us are going to 'die'". But-- no more trials, which I am taking as a bonus.

[ontrend]

...hey. Do you think we might actually stand a chance at beating Satan at his own game?

[psynchronise]

Uhhh.

Are you looking for the inspiring answer or the more realistic one?

[ontrend]

Realistic.

[psynchronise]

I think it's going to be tough as hell and we should probably temper our expectations even after all this.

[ontrend]

[he nods]

...tough as hell, but - not totally impossible. I'll take those odds.

[psynchronise]

They’re better than totally impossible odds.

[ontrend]

Yeah, for sure. ...guess we'll just have to wait and see what comes next.

[psynchronise]

I'm sure whatever it is, it'll be great fun for everyone involved.

[ there's a pause where he looks like he might say something else, but he sips his drink instead. ]

[ontrend]

[he looks confused at that pause]

[psynchronise]

[ … ]

So, run your injuries by me again?

[ontrend]

...my injuries?

[???]

[psynchronise]

The one on your knee. Just humour me, I’m running things around in my mind.

[ontrend]

Oh, right.

Fell down and scraped it. I'm totally mad about it - it wrecked a really cute pair of tights, too.

[psynchronise]

[ nods. ]

When and where?

[ontrend]

Thursday morning, out in the "Great Outdoors".

[psynchronise]

[ quick bit of meta text, britt. would date have seen those injuries at curfew? ]

[ontrend]

[no, because kuranosuke was wearing pajama pants]

[psynchronise]

[ me just sat here like :nyath: because it is peak britt to both murder week 6 and to give her character a sus injury to try and get scapegoated ]

Fair. I’m pretty sure every time I went outside there I ended up sliding down the cliff-face on my ass.

[ontrend]

[wehehe]

Right? I'll say this about it for sure - I'm gonna save a ton of money on ski trips if I ever make it back home, because after this, I don't wanna go anywhere with snow for a really long time.

[psynchronise]

[ :mgun: ]

You have money for ski tr— oh right. Your dad.

[ … ]

Book them anyway and don’t go. Or put the tickets out as raffle prizes. Blow some of dad’s cash, someone else gets a nice vacation.

[ontrend]

[kuranosuke looks so amused by that]

Haha, good plan!

[psynchronise]

[ eat the rich! ]

… Think we could bribe Satan with that to get everyone out of here in one piece?
