LIVE!

[deicider]

Who: Cardigan
Where: In front of the dorms
When: Day 52, morning

[Here's Cardigan, looking composed. They're standing next to King and Hiryuu, and as the Live starts they give them a grateful nod.]

Heart Soldier's hosting this live to make it easier for everyone to participate.

At this point we've figured out both Haruto and C are missing. Them being gone is most likely a punishment from the hosts, for them trying to defy the game. That doesn't leave us without many options beside appeal. Until we have more information, our best shot at getting them back is popular demand. Vids, Lives, photo collages—whatever anyone can do to speak to the audience and remind them how important C and Haruto are to their units and to all of us.

This thought occurred to me before. By now, every team has lost people, and we all want to know if they're alright. [Give me back Wire and Gold you motherfuckers.] If idols are really being transferred to different programs, the audience should know about it. If we can rely on them to help get back C and Haruto, we can see what other information they can give us about other unitmates that have disappeared.

We might need to buy back C and Haruto's lives with points. If that doesn't end up happening, Heart Soldier and Bad End are currently spearheading an effort to talk to one of the hosts again. That's our second best bet. I recommend any points gained from all this be donated to that effort.

[And one last thing:]

The hosts want us afraid of them and of each other, so we can't focus on anything but survival. We're better than that, and we'll prove it by beating them.

((OOC: Feel free to use this post to plan/execute Lives or the like.))

Well, there you go, then. As idiotic as Haruto is Aries still seems to care about him.

[dragonheartedgirl]

I don't think people pick each other because of how smart they are--usually.

[ author's note, unless they're a morosexual ]

[eatsthecanary]

Haruto still seems to like making it difficult.

[dragonheartedgirl]

I think--for someone with his difficulties, it would be hard to make things suddenly easier.

[eatsthecanary]

[ shrug ]

I suppose. He's definitely not making things easy now.

[dragonheartedgirl]

In what way?

[ he's not even here ]

[eatsthecanary]

By killing himself?

[ duh ]

/2

[dragonheartedgirl]

I thought you meant something other than that.

[dragonheartedgirl]

... I think Aries has been aware that this--was a potential thing that could happen with Haruto for a long time now.

[eatsthecanary]

But it was different. Aries was always there to stop him before when he tried - - from what I saw of his memories.

And he hadn't made any attempts here before.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ she can understand that. Once upon a time, Raijuu would have been with her everywhere, there to protect her from everything.... ]

... Things are different here. This place is designed to divide us and break us into pieces. Maybe it's a miracle this is the first time he's tried.

Is anyone helping to support Aries right now?

[eatsthecanary]

What do you mean? Aries takes care of himself.

[ Whisky tries but he's still not good at this whole, emotional support thing ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ if this was anyone but whisky, she would be upset having to explain this out. But instead she is. More concerned and patient. ]

Just because a person is normally very independent doesn't mean they wouldnt need support right now. You just said it yourself earlier; right now is a difficult time for Aries. He needs people to support him.

[eatsthecanary]

Then when Silver comes back he can handle it. You might have noticed it's not exactly my specialty.

[dragonheartedgirl]

I know. But that's a lot to ask for Silver to handle all on his own.

...

I really wish Wire were here. I think if he was, he'd be able to help.

[ Instead, she's going to. Have to try to reach out, even knowing that... she's probably not Aries's favorite person. ]

[eatsthecanary]

Mm. Wire would have probably got him.

[ acknowledging, he doesn't really sound sad but admitting she's right about that ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

I suppose I'll just have to try to think like him, then. Anyway, thank you for this, Whisky.

[eatsthecanary]

[ shrug. ]

It wasn't anything particularly difficult.
