[ oh boy. ]

Someone told me about it on Friday. Between the trial and the poison I didn't get a chance to mention it, but... this is apparently the second time we've done this. [ and she looks supremely fuckin' uncomfortable because having the fact she forgot everything, twice, dumped in her lap sucks actually. ]

We all chose to repeat this, at the cost of our memories, because we lost too many people last time.

... And yes. I think we're split - two teams are fine, two teams are middling, and two are dangerously low.

[arkitect]

That all follows with what I know as well, yes.

[he just nods, not particularly surprised at all this.]

From my understanding, the previous situation was that half of the participants could not be saved, and this was deemed unacceptable-- but this is the last chance there is. I believe it has been implied this is not necessarily only the second.

[chanteuser]

[ somehow she's not surprised that he knows. ]

So, we get it right or that's it. We really can't afford to mess things up.

[ give her a second here, emet. you've just told her she probably lost her memory mcfuckin' many times. (simple dog noises eeeeeeeeeee) ]

[arkitect]

No, we cannot.

[but, well, speaking of getting everything in order--]

Ah- come here a moment.

[he's just pulling her aside a moment to tell her what his team is, it's been long enough.]

[chanteuser]

[ she follows him! still wrapped in her blanket and looking a lil' wobbly but off they go. ]

[robopriest]

[JUST STARING AT HIM LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT EVEN THE SECOND TIME BUT COULD BE MORE!!! EMET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[arkitect]

[listen he's still dealing with the implication that it might have specifically been them, because agreeing to this doesn't sound like him?? was he dead???]

[chanteuser]

[ shhhhhhh paps him. he's alive right now. ]

[robopriest]

[Just shaking his head a lot.]

One time, I can believe. But over and over again? That's just pure torture.

[arkitect]

I am not certain of it, and if it was us... I do not know to what extent I believe it.

[because, again-- even if he would prefer to see this group return alive, it just doesn't sound like him to give up everything.]

[robopriest]

Maybe we were brainwashed or something. That sounds plausible.

[Just pinching the bridge of his nose and sighing.]

Anyways, its not like how many times we forgot changes anything. Like you said...I guess this is the last go-around.

[robopriest]

...Excuse me?

[EXCUSE ME?]

[Hansa just. Stares for a very, very long moment.]

So...wait, this isn't...we're doing this again?

[He shakes his head in disbelief.]

Ergh...this is a headache and a half.

[chanteuser]

[ she just takes his hand and kisses it. right?? fuckin' right???? ]

That's one way of putting it.

[robopriest]

[THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT KISS]

Well, I guess it is what it is. I can't even be surprised anymore.

[chanteuser]

[ always. ]

Maybe be a little surprised. We need to not get too laid back about it so we don't mess this up permanently.

[antaressnipe]

[Just yeets something about Chiron pulling Hansa over telling him his team]

[robopriest]

[And just nodding.]

Oh. Same as her, huh...

[chanteuser]

[ she nods. ]

We found each other pretty early on.

[chanteuser]

[ okay, so with all the teams out there: ]

... So.

Our teams are likely the biggest targets right now.

[antaressnipe]

...

I believe I should be one of the ones to die.

[Frankly.]

[robopriest]

[GAPING AT HIM]

Don't even say such a thing, are you MAD?!

[antaressnipe]

I can barely remember anything, Hansa. My name, my past... I have a week to my name, and will likely forget that as well.

[Steeling himself for this, expression quiet]

I have not splintered, but I worry all the same. And I would rather I die than other members of my team, if possible.

[arkitect]

Someone told me you were attempting to.

[a flat look, there. but-

he exhales a slow sigh.]

...I told you I would only allow you to lay down your life for a purpose. I have seen more than enough sacrifice for one lifetime, but for the sake of seeing this through...

[robopriest]

...Oh come on, would you really allow him to do that? What if it doesn't work? You can't just...

[He shakes his head. EMET...PLEASE.......]
