Day 6 - Final discussion before the second execution

[pandatrash]

[This morning, a video of Tycoon auto-plays on everyone's tablets. He is in a dimly lit room, and seems to be eating pudding out of a bicycle horn...? Whatever, the raccoons are weird.]

Today’s the day! Are you pumped up? Psyched out? Pissed off? Done in? Hehehehe!

Everybody better vote today for who you want to be PUNISHED! If you don't vote by the time the timer reaches zero, your vote will be randomized! Just like it now says in the rules!

I, Tycoon (only Tycoon), will still answer one question per person if you haven’t cashed yours in yet! Rule clarifications are free, by the way! Also, quit freaking out about the people who are off crying in their rooms or whatever! You already have all the alibis you need to solve the mystery!

[. . . he sure is listening. pretty intently, actually. in fact, he's standing up a little straighter, looking at her with a bemused but attentive expression]

How do you recreate history?

[. . .]

How would recreating history even help?

[cluelesscavewoman]

The Testament Union, possess the Testament. [It's a really imaginative name.]

It is a book that documents early human history. They assign names based on how suitable people are for them and have then copy the role they played in history...

[And here she was going to talk about the Harmonic Unification war, but he's asked that.]

I do not know. Lord Motonobu said the same. It is why he destroyed Mikawa. He said that we need to go against the Testament Union...

[purrtagonist]

[. . . okay. . .]

It just seems. . . strange? [rubs the back of his neck, and shrugs] Why recreate history when you could be making your own? It sounds like it isn't really 1648 where you come from either, but some time far off in the future from that.

[cluelesscavewoman]

I do not know. [She's already said that.]

It was decided long before I was born. Due to Lord Motonobu's actions we are currently at war with the countries that are following the Testament Union.

[purrtagonist]

[ha. wry]

Sounds like your time period is already making its own history after all.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Judge. Due to Lord Motonobu's death and the destruction of Mikawa the Testament Union called for the execution of his daughter. We contested it due to the circumstances.

[Like, her not knowing she was his daughter, or that her soul got used to make weapons.]

[purrtagonist]

[YOUR WORLD IS INSANE, FUTAYO]

And a war broke out from that conflict?

[. . . ha]

Can you tell me more about the Testament Union itself?

[cluelesscavewoman]

[ISN'T IT A SHAME THAT THE ENCYCLOPEDIA ON IT GOT DESTROYED?]

Judge...

We do not know much about them. They mostly stay out of disputes unless it affects the recreation. They have yet to act on what happened. The ship of one of the groups they are allied with passed us that night. They evaded notice until the last moment, then announced themselves by showing their strongest...

[purrtagonist]

[that is only like 50% his fault]

But you're at war with the countries that follow it.

[frowns, and rubs his head]

Politics. . .

[cluelesscavewoman]

Jud...I do not like negotiations. They are like the rules of this place. [Nods.]

...What is it like where you are from? If you do not have anything like the Testament Union?

[purrtagonist]

I like them when both parties are on equal terms. This place. . . it's different.

[HE HATES THE RULES OF THIS PLACE!!]

[he also pauses at her question, unsure how to answer it beyond saying, like. "it's normal"]

It isn't very exciting. I live in a big city, with a lot of people. I go to school, I've made friends, I work a few part-time jobs. . . it's all pretty. [waves a hand] Normal?

[cluelesscavewoman]

[It's interesting to her and completely different to her idea of normal. So she stares.]

I have just started going to school again. I only have one friend in my class, but my master is there too. Maybe I should I should try yo get a job outside of my duties?

[purrtagonist]

[ha]

I don't see why not. It might be a nice break from the war.

[cluelesscavewoman]

I will endeavor to find one. I will give the money I earn to Masazumi so she doesn't collapse from hunger again.

I am not sure what one to do though...
