( HUNTERS - WEEK 4 )

For this week, there will be no sudden loss of control for those who have signed their souls away for the greater good. As long as they're in the Curio Shop by 6:05 PM on Monday, nothing out of the ordinary will happen. All they must do is knock on the shop's door, carefully as if to not draw attention towards themselves, and the door will creak open by itself much like the previous week.

As per usual, inside this strange room they'll find Craftly seated at a round table. Shelves of antiques line the walls and the smell of peppermint tea wafts through the air. A thin tendril slips across the table from Craftly's sleeve, hooking around his cup of tea. As smug as ever, he smiles to the group.

"Come in, Hunters. It's time for us to begin".

[his eyes slip shut, but his smile doesn't fade, even though it takes a sort of lopsided tilt.]

. . . I feel the same.

Let's do our best, from here on out.

...yes. No matter what happens next...

[Yukina smiles at all three of them - Kaito, Jay, and Craftly - before lacing her fingers together and resting them in her lap.]

If it had to be like this... then I'm grateful I faced this with you.

[ this is embarrassingly sappy. ]

Is there anything else we should discuss?

[they're nakama now of course it's sappy]

Do either of you know how to play CLUE? 'Cause we're getting through a round before we leave here, no ifs, ands or buts.

Craftly's joining us.

...I've never played before... but you'll teach us, right?

It'll be enjoyable beating you at it.

[ lmao ]

Ha! Yeah, right. I'm an expert at this game.

[starts disassembling the box and handing out the pieces]

There's no way three beginners are gonna beat an expert.

We'll see about that.

[Maybe beginner's luck will be in her favor! ...she goes for the blue piece, because of course she does.]

If nothing else, we'll provide you with a challenge, Kaito-san.

No, Yukina, you have to stay confident in your ability to completely crush him. It'll make him attempt to show off more, which will make it more satisfying to beat him.

[ jay it's a game ]
