the general - night six.

[foxhounds]

THE GENERAL night six 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 8/30 by 5PM EST

...So... would this stop those Hunts, too? All those people...?

[God, Hinata's already having issues with pressure, and now this too?? This is so much. He didn't choose the protag life.]

Is... your idea going to change the rules we currently have to follow?

[foxhounds]

[ She shakes her head. ]

The rules will remain the same. They'll only change if... If my idea works. Because if it does, then I'll be able to save everyone. I'm sure of it.

[hopefragment]

So...

What it comes down to is trusting you. For the moment... nothing else will change for us?

[foxhounds]

[ She nods, and this one is very assured. ]

Yes. You'll have to trust me. No matter what happens, remember I'm on your side.

...

[Directly in the aftermath of finding out the truth about Rei, Hinata's... not certain his judgement should count for anything. But he exhales and closes his eyes, nodding once.]

I... want to trust you. I do. I'm... going to talk to everyone first, okay?

[foxhounds]

I know. But I do hope you'll put faith in me.

[ She walks closer to take his hands into hers, which she gives an encouraging squeeze. ]

Even if you can't, then I'll be hoping for the best.

[hopefragment]

[He just stares down at their hands for a moment, then glances to her.]

I don't... want to let you down. I'm just... you might be putting too much faith in us, Ivan.

[foxhounds]

[ She smiles encouragingly. ]

...No. It's just the right amount. Don't lose hope, Hinata. I really do believe in you with all of my heart.

[hopefragment]

...

[He... doesn't really have an answer to that yet, so instead he's just going to try to pull his hands free. Don't worry, he's not going anywhere. He's just... going to try to step in for a hug.

This is another hug that's absolutely one hundred percent for her sake and not for his own.]

[foxhounds]

[ She's surprised, but at the same time, it's easy to feel her quickly relaxing in his arms. She grips him back to hug just as tightly, because she might be thinking the same thing. ]
