( SEANCE - WEEK 5, DAVE )
[The scene plays out as it always does. Emily is covered in blood before entering the Dark Room, the oppressive presence reduced to only a slight pressure. The sigils and circles have been drawn in their usual spot, and the ceramic basin lays in the center of the room. When Emily takes a look inside, she will find five toes — all of them from a foot.
It's time for the conversation to begin.]

Hi, Dave.
no subject
[ like he doubts she's super fine but ]
no subject
And you said Tsurugi killed Hibiki. Maybe he's going to kill Corvo too.
no subject
What'd the note you got Monday say this week, kiddo?
no subject
no subject
Corvo's really, really strong, right? And he's back where you're from. It's...insurance from these people, to get the numbers down to three. They - Abigail - told us that it has to be three or some absolute bullshit happens. I can't decide if I think that's legit or if I think they need it to be three without a shadow of a doubt for whatever.
[ quietly: ]
Tsurugi can't get to Corvo. None of the other Sacrifices here can, okay?
no subject
Something happened to Dipper and Mabel. After... Andersen had to do the bad thing. Did they turn into ghosts?
no subject
[ he'd have noticed. ]
Ems, I did get some information for you. Beyond what Abs said - that if there are more than three people when the game ends, everyone comes back, like...bodysnatched. Monsters in our bodies instead of our souls. I don't know if we trust it or not but Mira seemed to believe that was the case and it was more or less implied that the anti-Facilitator crew knew this, too.
no subject
no subject
[ so that's, like, cheerful? ]
One of the three left standing does have to make a deal to get us back. I'm not sure what kinda deal yet. However...I do know a few more roles for you, and one of the Facilitators, and the three people who are in a group workin' against the Facilitators, officially.
[ he's still making sure emily doesn't go "maybe my role is better if i'm dead!" yeah. ]
no subject
Okay. There were notes on the board. They said Hunters. The Hunters were looking for the Facilitators.
no subject
[ oh my god. why is everyone so extra. ]
Anyway, accordin' to Kaiba the Hunters are: Yukina, Jay, and Kaito - told you he seemed like a trustworthy dude. Yukes is apparently the Paranoid, Jay's the Explorer, and Kaito you already know 'cause I told you that one.
Apparently they can check out one person a week to see if they're a Facilitator - Prophet, what the fuck ever - or a Sacrifice, as well as their role. Light and Kaiba both got checked, they're clean. Light's the Teacher, for the record. I still think he'd shank a dude given half a chance.
[ but dave digresses. ]
Girge ain't clean, and he's the Bounty Hunter. Kaiba thinks that's who killed him, 'cause he got sniped, not shot point blank. Girge is the guy who helped Tsurugi kinda lie about how he got those wounds from killin' Hibiki, so it's possible Tsurugi's the third Facilitator-Prophet-whatever, but it isn't confirmed either way. So, Girge needs to fuckin' go, either via execution this week or...well, maybe the "Hunters" have a plan.
no subject
Girge is the scary man who threw the chair.
I don't have the necklace anymore either. Okay. I will show Dirk and Clementine and Violet. You're really smart, Dave. You found out a lot of stuff. Maybe you should be Jason's Sherlock.
no subject
[ since...it only works if people don't realize she's the bomber, okay that's morbid. ]
We got some more rooms, by the way, and there are now earthquakes down under.
no subject
I'll be okay. I'll be careful. And then we'll have three people and we'll go home. And Corvo will be okay. And we'll be okay too, and we won't be rats or anything scary. [She takes a deep breath, but it's shuddery, airy. There's a good sniff, but no sobbing.] I got a picture of Corvo. Like you did.
Will you draw in my notebook? Like Hibiki. I'll keep it with what I draw for everyone else.
no subject
[ so there was that. he wishes he could reach out to hug her. ]
...I'll draw you a picture, sure. I may have to leave a letter for someone else, but no matter what you'll get a picture from me. Promise.
when u get backdated info suddenly and [goingturboemote]
Like if we can't talk anymore.
no subject
[ there's real concern in his voice, for all it's been calm otherwise. ]
no subject
Dirk said they were going to kill me. But they're going to try to trick them, and Clementine and I are going to stay in another room.
no subject
The Hunters are workin' with the Facilitators.
[ that figures. ]
no subject
But how does it "end" with more than three? What if there's an accident and it's only two? Will we still have monsters in our bodies?
Are they looking for me because they want to kill me?
no subject
[ he doesn't know and he can't do a thing but pass her information from beyond the grave, and even that seems to be a lot that she may have already known. ]
What I do know is that I kinda expected more of all of them. Or at least Kaito and Yukes. [ however, it isn't like he isn't used to being let down. ] Do you still have the scalpel, Ems?
No matter who comes for you, if the room trick doesn't work - you can make 'em hurt.
no subject
Jake might set a trap so we can catch one.
Clementine and I will be somewhere else. We'll be okay... unless they can see into other rooms.
no subject
...Okay. Okay, take care. I'll be here regardless of what happens, kiddo.
no subject
no subject
[ at least for her, since he didn't. really. care about being alive by the end there uh. ]
And I'm sorry our protectors are apparently bullshit, but...if there's a way to fuck it up, everyone will try to find it, y'know? Do you know who is gonna kill you.
no subject
no subject
[ ........................thanks dave. ]
Just in case.
[ he's of the opinion if someone tries to take out emily they should fucking die in the attempt ok ]
no subject
Okay. I'll ask him. It's okay. If anything happens, I'll be where you are.
