Yeah, definitely. Let's hold off on it for as long as we can. I'm not sure what you were going to change it to, but I'm glad you didn't yet.
...those are all people who'll be good to cover for him. Especially since Ylfa was on that adventure with him for at least part of it, Nahida's trustworthy, and Wenzhou has his own motivations to find a culprit. Let's just hope none of those people disappoint us, but I doubt they will.
I haven't given it much thought. It's a bit tricky. If I pick one that no other group has, it can easily come back to bite us... we can regroup on Sunday after everything to try and decide together what would be best.
[ a nod as he voices their own thoughts back to them. because they agree. it's trustworthy people, so they should hopefully be safe. carefully, their own hands come together in their lap before they lean their head further to plop it against him as well. ]
Today has been more draining than usual. [ it even isn't that Setsu was particularly attached to any that died, but the stress of not knowing was a lot more overwhelming today. ]
See who's still left after Sunday, yeah. That's gonna make all kinds of differences in our plan if we lose somebody we can use.
[ but still. he doesn't mind the leaning and he just sort of hums in thought to himself. ]
It's...weird. We always know what happens on Fridays, but somehow they're surprising every single time. I think not knowing what to expect to find makes them more stressful. And the more and more we find, the more stressful it gets. I don't blame anybody for not wanting to deal with many other people right now.
Given how voting worked when only two were erased, it should still only be one person that ends up being erased on Sunday. ...Assuming the votes don't go toward a team of two.
[ which just makes them frown more. however, he's right. it could adjust their plans depending on who. ]
I cannot blame anyone as well. Because at most, the implication could be that four people went out today to erase. [ it's enough to put anyone on edge. ] ..I'm not sure what to expect, but we have to ensure our team's own survival first and foremost.
And assuming we don't split our votes somehow. That's less likely, but it's still a possibility. It isn't something we can rule out just yet.
...it's hard to believe four people went out last night, but it's like I've said. We really don't know what people's motivations are and wha people are really like when things get desperate. They're all doing what it takes to make sure their teams survive. So. Nobody can blame us for doing the same. You know?
Right. Though, they have been good that, when the time gets closer, to bring up who they're thinking of voting for.
[ so that at the very least should help get a general idea. when they think of the possibility of votes being tied, they think of their own world and... they highly doubt they have a choice in saying "let's decide not to erase" like how it can happen with cold sleep. ]
That's what it comes down to. [ a nod in agreement, briefly glancing to the rest of their warehouse. the safety and comfort they've come to be to them... they really do want nothing more than to protect them. ] And that's what we'll do. We'll make sure our team survives.
Good point. As long as we listen, we should be able to swing votes the way we want...or at least make sure things pan out in a way they can work for us.
[ the vote might not be exactly what they hope for, but it can be a good start. ]
...Kazuki's worried about one of us being targeted next week, too. I don't know how to reassure him when I can't promise that won't be the case, but...I think we should probably prepare for that instance, too. Just in case.
There are still four of us, so I'd say we're more than capable of tilting it just a bit in our favor.
[ they can add numbers to whatever seems the most likely. as long as it isn't them, it should be fine. though... speaking of four of them, they listen to his words and nod ]
...No, it's not something we can readily promise to him, to any of us. As much as I would like to avoid us being picked out. I think it would be extremely lucky if we were to continue to stay under the radar until the end but. [ he's right. they need to prepare for that. ] If.. if something does happen, I'll make sure to have that sword with me from here on. Take it if something happens. Okay?
[ even though they tilt their head a bit down from where it's resting against him, as if avoiding him seeing their expression. because they really... really don't like the idea of any of them being targeted. it's fine if they go after Setsu, but they can't stand the idea of anyone going after their team. ]
I would take extremely lucky if I thought there was a chance of that happening. [ but he refuses to be surprised. ] We'll keep that in mind. But I'm not taking it from you in case you need it. We should...figure out plans to protect ourselves. I'm not sure how well Alex or Kazuki would do using a sword. But even just a swing or two should be enough.
[ ...headbump. ]
Whatever happens, we're gonna get through it. That's all we can do.
[ they are kinda in the same mindset in that aspect. they just assume with how the game has been going so far.. that it will be inevitable. still... ]
If any of you can get some swings in, I think anything is better than nothing. As we are now, we will need a way to properly defend ourselves if it comes down to it. Though.. we can always discuss it more later though.
[ since things are currently overwhelming in other ways right now. they smile at the headbump, humming a bit in reply. ]
Mhm... so, let's continue to hang in there.
[ Setsu will probably stay here for a bit longer, to settle their earlier nerves and recollect themselves. they just want to stay around the team for today.
also me gently closing this thwead hehe, new week soon yippee!! ]
