the general - day zero.

[foxhounds]

THE GENERAL day zero Ivan has told you what you're meant to do in the coming days, and she's also told you that there's an hour before other souls will start washing up on the shores. She has to leave to prepare, but you're all together in the lobby of the mansion. Take it as a chance to meet each other and get to know the people you'll be working with.

...Yeah.

[I don't think I want to be suited to this.]

I guess we'll just have to do our best, huh? At least, we'll have to get some more information.

[unrulyprincess]

More information...

[That...makes sense. She hadn't thought about it BUT IT MAKES SENSE.]

How do you propose we do that?

[hopefragment]

I don't know yet.

[That's the honest answer, as much as he doesn't like it.]

We don't have much time left before the others start arriving, right? Once we get to know more about the kind of people who are being brought here... I think I might be able to get some clues.

[He hopes.]

[unrulyprincess]

Then...we shall have to be careful not to reveal any of this. If we do so, all of this effort will be for naught.

[And they won't even have a chance at this..... whether it's right or wrong.]

[hopefragment]

Yeah, definitely.

All I know for sure is... I want us all to get out of here, alive.

[Whether they're really dead, or just waiting to be killed... either way.]

I won't hold you guys back.

[unrulyprincess]

See to it that you don't.

[A beat.]

Ah, and... I shall not hold us back either. You have my word on that. N-not that it was in question, naturally...!

[hopefragment]

Naturally.

[And a little smile, for her sake, though there's not much feeling behind it. It's hard to smile in this kind of situation, okay, give him a break.]
