"Dean no, please! Just...take a deep breath... Listen to your music if it will help" Sally said upon seeing her friend react to the arrival of Three-san's replacement Well, the was hardly the ideal situation in which to meet someone you might have to entrust your life to... But she would try at least to be as courteous as possible "I'm Sally. Likewise... it is a pleasure to meet you, Rubber. Hmm you know why Dean is reacting like..."

However her thoughts were interrupted when a new message arrived in her cellphone "Ah, excuse me a second... sorry"

Upon checking her text from Cherry, Sally had to make a very hard effort to keep herself grounded in reality. However her cheeks turned only a slightly deeper tone of pink as she repeated the words once again in her head. She was quite amazed with just how much she could be affected by just a mail from her... But still, she must keep focused on the meeting, this was no time to daydream.

As quickly as she could and with heartbeat increasing by the second she replied to Cherry on her cellphone I'm sorry... I'm meeting with my whole team now. As soon as I'm done here I'll text you, I promise.

"N-Now... What were you saying about protests and the god of this game, Dean?" Sally asked, trying her best to mask her actions and more importantly her reactions.

"Yes."

"So. It's obvious the game's run by a god." Dean said, "I mean, we got superpowers, exploding collars, and somehow we're being monitored. We can assume this god angle because I can't see many other ways Tuner can so blatantly violate Conservation of Matter. Or I of Energy."

"A-A God?" Sally asked, clearly shocked by the prospect "I don't know... Some power... beyond our knowledge and understanding sure... but I think a God might be a bit too much"

Millant isn't sure from Matthias's tone whether or not he finds the state of marriage a pleasant experience. She thinks about it for a moment and glances at her signet ring again. No, it's on the wrong hand. And yet—

Ew, no.

OH HELL NO.

Her stomach hurts now.

"Anyway, it's probably a stretch, but do you have any idea where the contestants were pulled from?"

Matt simply smiled as he moved his hand back to his leg.

"Well, if last round is anything to go by, they were pulled mostly from the States- except Engel was living in France at the time, and one Kyle Pan

came all the way from China. But as for this batch... I only know about Kunstler and Miss Alexandria- Kunstler's working in the states last I checked, and... Miss Alexandria lives in Belgium.

You know them by different names, though. I think... Kunstler's name for this was West or something, and Miss Alexandria has albinism and likes lacy things."

"Albinism, lace... so she must be Rosa. And West is that older man on Team Two. So, do those two have connections with your organization, the OCMPA, or any of its members?"

Tuner managed to keep a neutral face and tone throughout the whole conversation so far. He greeted Sally and Ruber -finally that girl showed up- when each of them arrived, but otherwise remained uncharacteristingly silent, staring at his breakfast. That is, until Dean started throwing the same crap as yesterday.

"Dean is assuming too much, as usual. The orchestrator is almost certainly not a god. Not that he is a human, but what the OMCPA told us about him doesn't match with the whole 'god' theory. People have seen him, fought him, and stuff. Also, he can fly."

His of voice was somewhat stale, more mechanical than annoyed or angry.

"No climatic showdown either. The police is here, and they don't like the thought of us fucking up everything."

"The police?" Asked Sally, getting the impression that Tuner wasn't talking about the police department of Monaco.

Orchestra

"I see. Well, that's just great." Elizabeth stood up, pacing around the couch, quietly mumbling. Perhaps due to the stress of the encounter, or because of how events were unfolding in her mind, she was outwardly, although quietly and more angrily than frightened, panicking.

After a couple pacing laps, she stopped, turning to Leon. "Okay, it's hard to elaborate, and this will seem quite obvious, but you're lucky to be alive. I wish i could explain, but it'd be best to try and explain to the group in full, which i'd like to wait for. We all need a bit of rest, and John should probably be the one to explain it to you."


Contestants, Phone Update

Contestants are recieving this message on their phones, to be clear.

Good morning, Contestants. There are some things we should discuss.

Firstly, the contestant called 'Bunny' has been killed. Suffice it to say, compliance is your only option. Let his death be a message to all who think otherwise.

Secondly, there has been a change of plans. You now have 25 days to eliminate your target.

Good luck to you all.

"Anyway, Rosa, I'll let you rest now."

Arzt goes back to his room and checks his phone.

No. Nonononono.

He runs back into Rosa's room. "Bunny's dead. The game has been cut to twenty-five days."

His hand shakes as he holds out the phone for her to see. "We must kill."


Park

Millant digs her phone out of her purse.

Fuck.

"Matthias, if you'll excuse me, I need to find Arzt."

Beep... Beep... Beep.

Tear climbs out of bed, having slept in for quite a while. She shakes her head, sleepily, and brushes her golden hair out of her face. She investigates, looking for the source of the beeping... and finds her phone. "A text.." She flips it open and looks at the text, her face quickly paling as she reads. "Bunny has died... and we only have 25 days... Holy shit... this might be a problem." She runs into the main area, opening Redd's door. "Wake up! We have a problem!" She then runs into West's room... and finding him already awake. "We have a problem. A contestant has died, apparently through attempting to escape. We only have 25 days to escape before Clarence kills us all, assuming he doesn't lower the deadline again." She looks really worried, fussing with her hair. "However we get out, we have to get out FAST."

I ship it.

Ring had been getting close to Arzt's room when her phone rang. She saw the message. And then she saw Arzt run out of his room.

Oh dear. Perhaps she should forget about speaking with him, and just find Jay.

No. The message didn't really change anything. Just confirmed some things she's suspected. She began to walk in the direction Arzt had run off.

[park]

"...We must kill..."

Oh, Christ.

However, he figured that if he made it evident that he heard it, she might attempt to cut off ties with the OCMPA. And they need to know what's going on. Kunstler probably forwarded it to Dad already...

"Something wrong?" Matt quickly wiped his instrument clean. "Would you mind if I came along?" He closed the clips on the instrument case.


[team 2 commons]

Oh. That's unfortunate.

When Tear burst into Redd's room, he quickly took out his iPhone and entered the number Acquati gave him yesterday.

You have a message from the Orchestrator himself coming your way. Notify your friends about this, would you please?

In a separate message, he forwarded the message itself and let him deal with it, then slipped his phone back into his pocket. He heard that Acquati's son gave out his personal number to a few contestants and it was evident that the Orchestrator could even read his contestants' minds, so there would be no use attempting to hide anything.

"Hold on. I think I saw Ring."

Arzt pokes his head outside Rosa's room. "Hello. We never got to talk, did we?"

"Oh, of course you can."

Dean dug his phone out.

"Oh hey it—OH SHIT. Well. Fuck them." he said as he continued to stare at the screen. "Sally, you have figured out my target, but I never broke the rule of telling people who my target actually is. I recommend you inform Cherry of a postulation that I may or may not be her hunter and that she should come kill me. I won't even fight back. Now excuse me. I have a nonhuman, fine Tuner, to piss off."

Dean punched the REPLY button

FUCK YOU IF YOU WANT US TO DO AS YOU ASK YOU COME AND ASK IN PERSON. TEXTING IMPORTANT DETAILS LIKE THAT IS RUDE.

Redd didn't appreciate Tear barging in. However, the news of a contestant dying caught his attention. Too bad it wasn't Mary or Arzt. Everything would be easier for him if one of them got offed.

So he headed straight for the shower.

...fuck.

Tuner was left staring at the message for a few seconds. Everyone had been punished. This kind of made sense, as most of them had fucked up one way or another. But only one was killed, and that was... Bunny.

I don't get it. Bunny didn't take part in the fight, and neither was he at the cathedral. He is the last person who should be killed. Unless there's something I don't know.

But there was a more urgent matter requiring his... someone's attention, anyway.

"Sally, you'd better ignore Dean. He's being crazy as usual. And Rubber... I've had enough of him suggesting suicide every five minutes. You were there that morning. What happened that put him in the hospital and made him so fucking willing to die?"

Hospital.

Jay woke up, again, to the buzzing of his phone. His eyes darted across the text message. Same news, old news.

He was in a hospital.

Wonderful.

He heard footsteps running past his room. Peeking his head outside to check, he ran into Ring.

"Good morning."

OH SHIT.

Arzt ducks back inside Rosa's room and locks the door.

Arzt: Poke. Something came up.

Millant: Coming to see you now with Matthias.

Arzt: NONONO YOUR TEAM IS HERE

FORWARD ME RING'S NUMBER KTHNXBYE

Millant: It's XXX-XXXX


Streets

Millant rolls her eyes and puts the phone back in her purse.

"Matthias, since I seriously doubt my team is stupid enough to start even more hospital drama, we will continue on our way."

She had been so close. And then Jay had scared him off.

She hit her frustration before speaking.

"Oh, good. It seems you haven't been taken to prison. I was worried about that."

Well, this probably sounds okay. Arzt sends the text.

Oh hai Ring.

Does Jay want to kill me? I don't really want to die, soooo if he does I'm only going to talk to you right now.

And if he doesn't I'll let him in later.

She drew out her phone and read the text.

"Arzt wants to know if you're planning to kill him. I imagine we'll probably want to say no, regardless of what your actual intent is, correct?"

She idly wondering how he had managed to get her number.

Jay sighed.

"Don't answer. I don't care."

"I've realized something. We've had two fights in two consecutive days. Assume this pattern continues. We will probably fight everyone. I have motives to kill Arzt, Simon, Millant, and possibly Rosa. I don't know if any of them are my target or my hunter. Think about that. With over two weeks left, it is likely that both you and me will face our hunter and target in battle, unaware that our opponent is actually our hunter or target. We're killing each other already without the extra motivation of knowledge. It's pointless to delve into it further. All we need to do is wait."
