Who: Designated Killers
When: Sunday evening / Monday morning
What: Emergency Meeting

[It's after midnight in the rooms of all of the designated killers when a clock bells goes off, quietly enough not to be heard in other rooms but loud enough to wake them. Their closet door has been left slightly open. In the back of the closet, instead of wood paneling, is a door in the wall. They may climb through - it's a tight fit, even with everyone's size - and will find a narrow stone passageway, leading straight up. There's a ladder to climb up about a story. The Dragon wing residents will find themselves emerging from a trapdoor into a tiny stone room, dimly lit. It looks almost like a hidden cell. Feferi will have to crawl on her hands and knees down a narrow tunnel until she herself can emerge into the cell.

Inside, the Host is standing against the wall. There is a sitting area with a blanket laid out on the floor to make the place more homey, and a small candle is set on the ground to provide some light, but it's not the most comfortable place. It's dark, drafty, dusty, and you can hear rats scampering nearby. But there is a tea set with hot tea and four cups set out for them.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[The Host is standing in the back, with his back against the wall. He doesn't say anything to anyone as they come in, but there is a piece of paper set on the ground near the candle.]

This area exists for meetings only, and access to them will only be provided when the Mastermind calls a meeting to order. Nothing will be stored in here, and it may not be used in a murder. The meetings will now occur at night, at any time when the Mastermind decides to call them, but there will be no meetings once a murder has occurred.

[ Before she leaves for the night, whenever that may be, Nanami has one thing to say: ]

Thank you for providing the tea, Host-kun. I couldn't have done that myself this time.

Did you have to crawl through a tunnel, too? [You look too big for that...]

[As soon as Feferi crawls all the way through, she groans and flops belly-up on the blanket.

That about sums things up.]

...my thoughts exactly, Feferi-san.

[She'll just try to... carefully kneel down on the blanket next to her.]

I can't believe they got everyone left! [Except actually she can, when it comes to Sebastian.] What happens now?

...I'll go this week. The way you all defended me helped make Michaelis-san more certain, and... so did what Kaoru said about the clothing. That was my fault.

I'll... I'll take responsibility for it and try to buy you all a little more time to figure something out.

No! [Cuttlefish! Feferi sits up.] Maybe someone else will go! Someone who isn't you or Kuzuryuu!

...we can't count on that after what happened tonight. Feferi-san, you know that.

I know, but aren't they going to watch us? You'll get caught! [Feferi looks around like she might come up with a way to help Chizuru in this tiny room. She really misses the smoking room, it was comfortable.]

There has to be a way for you and Kuzuryuu and Chiaki to survive.

I'll... I'll just have to kill whoever watches me, won't I? [To her, her voice sounds small and detached - like she's not hearing herself speak, but rather listening to someone else.] Someone has to go, or... or else...

[ Nanami comes out in time to hear that, still dressed in her pajamas.

When she spots the blanket, she comes over and then reaches out to pour the tea into the four waiting cups. ]

...Someone else might go. Most of these deaths have not been at our hands.

[ She holds out the cups, one at a time, to the others. ]

Chiaki! [Feferi looks incredibly worried, of course.] You can't just encourage the others to kill you!

...If it's for the sake of you guys living on, that's worth dying.

[ At this rate, getting away with the murders yet to come... ]

...At any rate, at least everyone is okay. [ AT LEAST THE OTHERS ARE JUST...guarding them, not killing them. ]

I want you to keep living, too! You haven't done anything wrong! [She hasn't attempted to murder someone or anything!]

...I also...want to keep living on with everyone. [ That's the first time she's actually admitted that sort of thing in a designated killer meeting, isn't it. ] I can't leave in the same way everyone else can, I think, but at least...I don't want to disappear and leave Host-kun all alone. He's family.

Anyway, what we have to focus on right now is surviving the week. And then...the week after that. The same small steps as ever. They figured it out because we never want to give up on one another, but...I want to continue being that sort of group.

Feferi-san is right!

...Yeah. I won't do it again, then.

[ She already got a few of them to promise anyway ALTHOUGH THEN AUSTRIA LAUNCHED A CAMPAIGN TO SAVE...HER...

the first time the mafia works against one another and it's to stop one of them from getting killed. guys, really. ]

[She takes a cup but doesn't sip from it - she merely stares down at it.]

If someone else goes, and... does something to put one of us on the suspect list, like Kagamine-san did with the white hair... no one will ever believe it wasn't us.

What do we do..?

...No, that's not...entirely true, is it?

[ Nanami almost sounds surprised, but. ]

Maribelle-chan. Glinda-san. Austria-san, Athena-san...even Apollo-san, though I think he'll never understand it...they'll listen if we have real objections to not having done it.

[ Which isn't to say that they won't hella nail them if they do, but... ]

...Also, if we show up on the list when we haven't done anything and when we're under guard, I think our alibis will rather be provided for us.

...I guess that's... true.

[She's a little unsure about Apollo, but that's mostly a knee-jerk reaction to him being the one to present Sebastian's theory... even though Sebastian was the one who thought it up. Sigh.]

Who should we pair up with...? Is there anything we can do that would make it safer for everyone, somehow..?

You'll never get away with something like that. We can't even protect you now! If you have to go, there has to be some way you can do it from far away.

...if you know of a way to do something like that, Feferi-san, I would be glad to hear it. But...

We'll think of something. I'm sure there's a way! Or maybe everyone else will figure out a way to save all of us.

If they're able to save everyone... that would be ideal. But the noose keeps getting tighter and tighter...
