the general - night five.

[foxhounds]

THE GENERAL night five Instead of waking up in the jungle, you wake up elsewhere. This is the square where The General comes to decide what to do, and Ivan patiently sits on a bench, though she's as impassive as ever to what's going on. Each of you has your own foxhound who's barking happily to welcome you back. They'll help you find who you choose to hunt tonight. After all, you're saving them. You have a little while to discuss who you'll hunt tonight, but don't linger too long, since you only have until dawn. rulebook character statuses profiles All night votes will be due 8/26 by 5PM EST

[After everyone's had time to grieve, Hinata's forced to take up his cat-herding responsibilities yet again. Hopefully he won't have to do this too much more; he's having enough trouble keeping his focus on this, instead of worrying that the others are going to blame him for what happened.]

So... tonight. We have to kill von Garibaldi.

...If the Rainsford gets in the way, he or she needs to die, too.

Can you guys do it?

[Looking at Hijikata and Tsurumaru... Hinata's not volunteering. And he's definitely not volunteering Clarine after what happened.]

[hijiwanwan]

[ Hijikata crosses his arms. ]

So we have no choice but to go, huh. [ He's just a bit surprised! Especially after Gi-ne practically GROUNDED Tsurumaru and Hijikata. Well. Gi-ne is kind of dead right now. ]

There's no reason for me to refuse. So yeah, I'll do it.

[hopefragment]

[Look, he doesn't want to rely on them, but he also doesn't know exactly how messed up they both are?? Clearly this time Hijikata will keep better control of Tsurumaru... clearly...]

...He's definitely onto Kuninaga. So... do whatever you want to him.

[HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED...]

I don't... want to see anyone suffer, but I'm... leaving this to your best judgement.

[hijiwanwan]

Do whatever I want?

[ Smirk. ]

You better be careful with words like that. [ Buuut, eh. He shrugs. ] We'll see, I'm not in the best mood right now.

[ Ugh... Gi-ne why you gotta die... Ugh. ]

[hopefragment]

[Ugh dead people hurts?? He hasn't felt like this since Jabberwock Island, really, and while it may have only been five days, it feels like a lifetime ago.]

Like I said... I don't want to see anyone suffer. But I don't want to see anything else happen to you guys, either.

So whatever you do, just... don't get hurt. Don't leave any evidence I'd be able to find. Got it?

[SCARED OF HIS OWN EVIDENCE-PRESENTING POWERS... nerd.]

[unrulyprincess]

[Piping up here, expression surprisingly flat and cold.]

You both must do it... and you must use your swords to do so. Tsurumaru was accused of having a gun. That cannot be the murder weapon in this case.

[hijiwanwan]

Yeah, yeah. I know.

[ Listen, Clarine. Don't try to boss him around, that's his own job. ]

I wouldn't use anything else anyway.

[unrulyprincess]

...Thank you.

[She's just worried about Tsurumaru, okay...!!!

But otherwise she's too sad and tired to argue with Hijikata.]

murdermom and murderuncle if ur watching its 2 late

[gravesite]

[ With a nod towards Hijikata's agreement to Hinata's victim proposition, as well: ]

Definitely. As long as the Rainsford doesn't interfere, Auger is ours.

[ He scoffs next, folding his arms. ]

Yeesh, I don't know what his deal was, though, spooking the hell out of me with all that guntalk. And for the record, I reaaaally didn't have a gun.

[hopefragment]

That means that one of you guys must have one, though... see if you can find out. Kotetsu or Kanesada, though... with the way that his name was in blue on the wall, my guess would be toward Kanesada. It seems the Fox was in communication with the Gunsmith, which...

I still think it's Melborn, but right now, the Fox is a bigger concern than a gun someone may or may not be in possession of. But coming from you, asking them? It shouldn't be a problem after you were publicly accused.

I'm... counting on you, tonight. I don't want to see anything happen to the rest of you. Like I told Hijikata... I'm leaving this up to you guys. Don't leave any evidence that could implicate any of us.
