the general - night four.

[foxhounds]

THE GENERAL night four 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 8/22 by 5PM EST

...You're sure? There's no way we... can try to do something?

[Does he have to fight the Judge? HE'LL FIGHT THE JUDGE more like cower behind Hijikata and Tsuru and let them fight the Judge but still.]

[foxhounds]

[ She looks up again with a smile that's very warm and sincere. ]

You're kind, but it's all right. I'm ready. If you can all return to your lives and I can rest, then I will be happy.

[hopefragment]

[Well... at least he made her smile, but that doesn't really make him feel good about it.]

Then... don't worry. We'll make sure you get that chance this time.

So... can I ask for a rules clarification?

[foxhounds]

[ She nods ]

Go ahead.

[hopefragment]

Someone's definitely giving out guns. Is there a rule that says that if someone receives a gun, they have to use it within a certain timeframe?

[foxhounds]

...There can be, yes. But that's the Judge's role to give out, not mine.

[hopefragment]

So if the "gunsmith" is given out by the Judge... which roles do you give out, then? Did you pick us specifically?

[foxhounds]

[ She shakes her head ]

Not really. You were the first to show up. It is as simple as that. If the Judge gives additional roles, it's because they have a whim to.

[hopefragment]

...I see.

[That doesn't make him feel good, that he ended up like this because of what's basically chance.]

Do you think the Judge is going to try to interfere in anything else? They... don't think we can win, so I'm just worried they'll try to... sabotage us, or something.

[foxhounds]

[ She glances away ]

...They could. They're a bit petty, and I think you upset them.

[ good job guys ]

[hopefragment]

...

Is there anything we can do against them? To stop these kinds of awful judgments?

[foxhounds]

[ She shakes her head ]

It is simply the way things are. I'm sorry.

[hopefragment]

[He exhales a sigh and just nods.]

Yeah, I... kind of figured. I had to ask, though.

Do you know exactly what will happen to us? If we win, and we come back to life... am I going to have to go back to Jabberwock Island, or can I just... take a boat straight to Japan?

[foxhounds]

I'm not sure. It's never happened in any game I've participated in, so I really don't know.

[hopefragment]

You've never seen it happen?!

[IVAN... YOU'RE NOT HELPING HIS CONFIDENCE LEVELS HERE.]

You... must have heard of times it's happened though, right?

[foxhounds]

I do not hear of others at all. I know they take place, but I know nothing of them.

[hopefragment]

W-well...

We're going to do our best, so... it'll be... fine...

[Just going to sit there quietly now until it's time to yell and be a protag some more.]
