[WHAT THE BALLS IS GOING ON HERE]

I'm afraid I don't have much interest in keeping secrets.

[. . . p-pokes the screen, what is this, is it magical]

[superunlucky]

[hello]

[who are you]

[what is going on]

Um. . .

[takewing]

. . . Hullo!

[superunlucky]

H-hi!

[points to the TV screen]

. . . do you know who she is?

[takewing]

I don't have the faintest idea, I'm afraid.

[pokes the screen again . . .]

Nor do I know exactly what this . . . device? is.

[superunlucky]

[blinks, a bit surprised]

You've never seen a television screen before?

[takewing]

[Shakes her head.]

Is it magical?

[cutiepie_shepherd]

[a bit later, cutie reappears on the screen!!]

If you believe in magic, you can do anything~~Especially if you're wolfy party poopers!

[takewing]

Allow me to repeat my lack of interest:

I am not interested in keeping secrets, nor am I interested in . . . pooping on any parties.

[cutiepie_shepherd]

Nope nope nope! [she makes an X on the tv]

That's not the right attitude at all~~! You've gotta play along! There's someone else just like you, y'know! I wonder who they could be? They have to play right, and so do you two, or!!

[DRAMATIC GULP]

Something really REALLY bad might happen!

[takewing]

You're resorting to petty threats and blackmail? What a rude host you are.

[cutiepie_shepherd]

[THERE'S A REALLY SHRILL WHISTLE]

[and a...glass tube drops down?? full of plastic play balls?? well that doesn't seem too bad]

[except inside a familiar bird is desperately flapping about, trying to break free]

Blackmail is super uncute! I just don't want your friend to get hurt! So you better play by the rules ok ok!!

[takewing]

[nope]

[nope nope nope]

Kou!

[LUNGES FORWARD, fist banging hard against the glass.]

[cutiepie_shepherd]

[enjoy hurting your hands!!]

[cutie yawns on the screen]

Boring. . .you're not going to get anywhere that way! Your birdie buddy will be A-OKAY!

If you follow the rules, that is. Super simple, right~? Cute Shepherd doesn't break her promises!

[superunlucky]

What-- what does believing in magic have to do with anything?

[cutiepie_shepherd]

i am being optimistic for you!!

[superunlucky]

. . . no thanks. I'd rather use my own optimism.

What if I don't want to be a party pooper? What if I don't want to be here at all?

[cutiepie_shepherd]

Do you really want to know? Do you reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally



really wanna know?

[superunlucky]

[WHY IS THAT SO OMINOUS]

You can't really expect kidnapped people to go along with what you're saying just like that, can you?

[takewing]

[rests her hand against the glass column]

How fortunate that we were in the clue . . .

[superunlucky]

[. . . hesitates, then reaches out to place a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to be comforting]

I. . . I'm a little afraid of what Cutie Shepherd might do if we go around admitting we're the party poopers in the poll, or if we act brazenly enough to vote on ourselves. But I don't want to go along with this charade any more than you do. So I think. . .

[nods] We should wait until the last minute and vote on the team with the least amount of votes. If people vote for us, we don't have to give complex reasons for why they shouldn't vote for us, or even deny it beyond saying "we're not the party poopers." We just need to do enough to make sure she won't hurt your friend or anyone else, that's it.

[takewing]

[shrugs him off immediately, but lightly.]

I'll agree to that much, if only for Koú's sake, and for the others here.

[superunlucky]

[letting his hand drop to his side]

Yeah. That's what I was thinking. I don't know what she has planned, but I know from experience that it probably isn't good.

[takewing]

You've been through something like this before?

[superunlucky]

[nods, looking a bit more serous now]

Once before. My friends and I managed to free ourselves, though.
