[as per usual - senri's not frozen anymore! that's good. in fact he seems to be mostly okay.

except.]

Ray-kun!! I'm not freezing anymore so I can finally tell you something...!

[selfimmolates]

I noticed. What is it?

[usogi]

After you found me on Saturday - Aimi came up to me and I think that Ruin's last follower used their power on her. She started bleeding from her stomach all of a sudden. I... I don't really know what it means, to be honest.

But I thought maybe you'd have an idea or a theory.

[NEVERMIND THAT THEY TALKED ON SUNDAY WE DIDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT THIS OOCLY TODAY JUST ROLL WITH IT]

[selfimmolates]

[hm.]

When exactly did she start bleeding? After the trial?

[usogi]

Uh-huh. I don't know what it could mean.... Or why they would do that.

[selfimmolates]

If it is because of Equivalent Exchange...

There weren't any stomach wounds like that during the trial, which means it would've happened afterwards. [...] Think about what kind of situations would arise post-trial that would result in someone getting injured—and that they might've had to hide.

[usogi]

I - I don't know... I don't know why they would suddenly hurt themselves, or who would apparently know they're a Ruin follower and then go to hurt them? Why they couldn't just say so during the trial?

I think... they might've done it to themselves.

The cuts said.... 'missed me'.

[selfimmolates]

[...]

We know that because Cunning wasn't on the list and because Fortune couldn't have killed, Hector had to be the dead culprit.

However, that doesn't mean the living culprit wasn't also a Ruin follower.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri just closes his eyes]

Yeah.

And now with all the swaps... I don't know where everyone's gone. I have to relearn everything all over again....

[selfimmolates]

... I suspect the handprint was false evidence planted by Blame Game, though we've lost our chance to confirm that. However, if that's the case, it means that if the culprit was from Ruin, they might have an accomplice.

I'll try and see what I can figure out. [...] At the very least, we know they likely switched to Cunning, Justice, or Ambition.

[usogi]

... yeah.

Did you have to switch, Ray-kun? I hear that there are some Ambition followers who kept adding to the trouble and forcing people to switch. Madopyon probably went to Cunning. I did too. I think Zo might've had the same thought.

I didn't do great trying to organize everyone...

[selfimmolates]

[...]

Madoka and Zoe went to Cunning. Zoe wasn't too happy to learn that it wasn't necessary for her to anymore, since she's not Cunning's biggest fan.

[he pauses, and then sighs.]

Lightning was Love's follower. As for the third that left—yeah, I got hit by Advancement Opportunity.

[and he's not happy about it. :/ ]

[usogi]

[buries his face in his hands

also maybe worth mentioning this thread might be happening while senri is still crossdressing]

Last week's rule made coordinating so hard...!! Agh!

So that means Nonon-san, Sieg-kun, and Yu-kun are the ones left with Love.

[ . . . ]

And.... Sasuke went back to Justice.

[selfimmolates]

[i hate that, thanks]

I'm not surprised. Does that mean he was aligned with Justice in a previous week?

[usogi]

.... I think he started Justice - and lied to me about Cunning. I thought he was just being ballsy. Then he went to Dizzy. Then Merriment. Back to Justice this week. I.... asked him to stay with Justice until the end of the game - or at least make sure he never dropped down to zero.

[he frowns]

Is that where you went too?

[selfimmolates]

Considering he wants Justice to win, I doubt he has too much of a problem with that request.

... No. Justice seemed confident that his followers wouldn't leave him, so I decided he was likely safe.

[usogi]

We'll see... He can still find a way to make trouble.

[senri tilts his head]

You... You went to Bambi?

[WHAT A WEIRD COMBO]

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, it's Sasuke. I'm not surprised.

[uh.]

What? How'd you come to that conclusion?

[usogi]

Cunning, Justice, and Bambi are the ones who got a lot of followers!

[he tilts his head????]

Where did you go then....

Oh - Merriment?

[please just tell him]

[selfimmolates]

[...]

It's the last god you'll expect me to have gone to.

[so honestly, ambition wasn't that bad of a guess,]

[usogi]

.... Beauty?

[???????]

[selfimmolates]

[...

he just sighs.]

[usogi]

Please just tell me already, I'm so tired.

[selfimmolates]

If you can't figure it out, you don't deserve to know. I think I'll keep you guessing.

[usogi]

Ray-kun...!!

Don't be unfair!

Cheri's last follower is Jude-kun - did you go to Piety...?! I don't know who was on their team with Ishirin-san...
