( HUNTERS - WEEK 5 )

[abhoth]

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".

[BREATHES OUT DEEPLY, like in relief]

Okay. You left out the part where the person who killed you would have to take your place when we asked you what'd happen if you died.

[he just. wanted to make sure]

. . . the Unclean wouldn't answer this for me, so I dunno if you can, but why is the deal only offered if there are three survivors?

[abhoth]

... I know. I apologize for my omission, Kaito.

[let your npc rest.]

Because she is cruel. She will do what amuses her the most. That is the way of the gods, I'm afraid.

[mmmmfff. he's long since learned to forgive Craftly for his omissions, so he just nods and tilts back his head with a sigh]

There's gotta be a way to stop this god and save everyone in one fell swoop. There's gotta.

[abhoth]

There is not. These rituals have existed before my time, and they will continue to exist in the future. My only solace is knowing no soul may be brought here twice.

[murderdad :(]

[he deposits the board game onto the table and nudges it towards Craftly]

You really need a vacation.

No. . . more'n that, you deserve a vacation.

[abhoth]

You will find this profession is one that offers little to no vacation time, Kaito. Or rather, I would hope you don't.

[opens the box and starts to set up the pieces, one for each hunter + Mira + Tsurugi + Craftl. but not Girge, cuz he sucks]

Who knows. I might.

[he says with a whole lot of wryness]

[if Jay and Yukina don't beat him to it, that is]
