[ even a heart as aged, and scarred, and truly no one's business but their own can still speak words without thinking too hard on it. but he understands ]
Aye. I am prepared for whatever is to come.
[ watch it be nico and he just stares into the void about it ]
Mm. One cannot have a proper duel without both parties understanding the rules. Whilst Lillium-dono understood the cause, he was in the right to give it his all.
[ he nyehs just the slightest ]
Though I suppose nothing of the night made it particularly fair.

Are you leaving it to one of your teammates to look after?
no subject
I suppose wherever the others are, my body will join them as well.
no subject
[ or all those other swords involved in this case, why were there so many swords, how come hanako doesn't get a cool sword ]
no subject
That is possible as well, I suppose. But mostly where the players others are.
no subject
[ the rest of the dead, who Nico believes is coming back tomorrow(?) or sometime soon, at least ]
...As long as you're remembered, you won't disappear. Will you give Mika and Chiemi a hug for me when you see them?
no subject
[ that's a very tired smile ]
If there are other messages to pass on, I will be glad to take them.
[ he says but it'd be really funny if he gets executed and nothing happens ]
no subject
Thanks.
[ he mirrors that small, tired smile ]
I don't really know what to say to them... If you still have your hero powers over there, I bet they'd love your Kon Kon.
no subject
Whatever is spoken from the heart, I'm certain they would love to hear.
[ he makes konkon hands at hanako ]
And if anything, I'm certain this old fox can distract them.
no subject
... he pulls his hand back, and makes konkon hands in return ]
I'll be counting on you. Will you be okay tomorrow? It'll be another fight to the death.
[ pleading, just a little. Kogi doesn't have to lose. ]
no subject
Aye. I am prepared for whatever is to come.
[ watch it be nico and he just stares into the void about it ]
no subject
You could turn into a fox... nobody would dare attack you then.
[ or is Kogi going to insist on the honorable route and have another swordfight ]
no subject
I believe there is a tale about a fox playing tricks like that.
[ that's a hare not a fox, dummy ]
But I suppose even if I do so, something would demand it to take place.
[ also, there's that small problem of him not actually having his body rn so he really is just gonna have to roll with it ]
no subject
If time ran out, you mean? We never did test what would happen then... In the end, everybody followed through to save their own skins.
no subject
I doubt it would be so easy.
no subject
[ probably not, but. still...
... ]
What was that symbol carved into the table? It'll drive Ryuki insane if he never figures it out.
no subject
That...... hm, to be quite honest I'm not certain. I imagine Lillium carved it while we were speaking, but otherwise....
no subject
Under the table? ...You weren't having tea, were you?
no subject
We decided against that. There were simply matters to discuss and an agreement to be made beforehand.
no subject
The duel, you mean. Last man standing wins.
no subject
Mm. One cannot have a proper duel without both parties understanding the rules. Whilst Lillium-dono understood the cause, he was in the right to give it his all.
[ he nyehs just the slightest ]
Though I suppose nothing of the night made it particularly fair.
no subject
How's that? It's not like you had to duel to the death, right? You could've just hung out at the zoo. Eat some ice cream. Wait for the night to pass.
