I do mean that, yes, but at least I know who they are, so I'll be aware if anything happens to them. I still dislike having him at such a low number, though.

[but he pauses there, taking a moment to gather his thoughts before:]

As for what I'm currently working on: Shishimaru and I are still trying to locate a third person with our ability, and I have one or two people helping with that effort, since they will have to be out this Thursday or break the current rules. I know we also lost and gained a follower in our faction, so that person might have it as well, and I've been warned they may have defected to Merriment from Ruin. [so that's cool! if this entire faction has all nighter i, personally, will die.] Beyond that, I've been given a potential name-- though we are not yet certain, so I intend to keep an eye on them for now... and I'm not certain we'll stay with Ruin directly. We may try to follow her instead, to be on the safe side.

[another pause, with a thoughtful frown-- is that everything?]

Mm, and Piety evidently made an agreement with another god, to try to improve his position in the event of their victory. I think... that's all I've been given in the last couple of days.
