[The cupcake has one bite out of it, but the rest is on a plate when Sieg enters the armory. Cunning's leaning against the wall, staring at the door and nodding a greeting when Sieg arrives.]

It's good. I'll finish it later.

I'm glad you like it.

... How are you doing? Did you what was going to happen today?

I did and I didn't. We heard about the numbers changing pretty late this weekend, but I still don't really get why she'd do it. Did you know her?

[Carefully sidestepping the question regarding how he's doing, thanks.]

Not very well. I was wondering if she talked about why she did it when she made the appeal.

[He sighs.]

I think Yu knew her better than most people here.

If she made an appeal, it was to somebody who wasn't me. [A shrug.] Might've been one of the hosts.

That Yu kid's been having a rough weekend, hasn't he. [Not his problem.] Makes you wonder what everybody's gonna do to Guy now...

I kind of thought she'd go to you, since he was yours. I can ask around.

["Is yours?" Did Guy even bother switching when he thought he was going to die.]

Yeah. He got hit with Devil's Advocate and had a terrible time, his friends died and now he's trying to make sure Guy makes it through the week.

... I'll be surprised if Guy makes it to trial.

I'll be surprised if he does, too. [Which is just another thing to worry about somehow...] But I thought she'd go to me, but no. Never spoke to her. I found out the bait and switch was happening not long before you guys saw it in real time. Gods have their own secrets, too.

Nonon, Yu and Connor... I don't think they want anybody to kill him, but I don't know if they could stop somebody after curfew.

[... Sieg gets it. Killing for revenge is... he didn't exactly get to kill Mordred, but he sure tried.]

... It's a weird secret to keep until Monday.

[And he clearly doesn't understand the reason.]

If it's after curfew, I really doubt it. It depends who it is, depends on the method, a lot of factors are in that that make it complicated.

It could've also been a deal she made with a god I don't talk to. That'd explain a lot.

[High key I can't believe Guy made it to the end of this week?]

Yeah... I'd imagine.

Which of the others don't you talk to?

[Mood.]

Indulgence. Justice. Not real big on Beauty or Love myself. People like that.

People like that... People who haven't had to be in the middle of a war?

Something like that. Or people who're the direct opposite of what I'm used to. It's hard to make them understand things.

You're all going to be stuck together once the world is made. It's... probably a good idea to talk to each other.

Yeah, the last time that happened? We broke the world. But I think some of them are working on negotiations with each other and stuff. Talking to each other. All that.

Yeah, I did hear about the first world. There weren't any people on it before, at least.

If you can make rules that prevent you from interfering, can't you also make rules that stop you from breaking things?

Yeah, if there were we'd be in even more trouble than we already are.

[...] I think we could, but it'll have to be going forward. The rules are already made for this game and I think we're stuck with 'em whether we like it or not.

So there's no way to change those rules...

It might be a good idea to suggest that at... um... your next meeting?

[He doesn't know what gods do!]

Once this game is over, I'm pretty sure we're going to rewrite the rules entirely. We kinda have to.

But I'll keep that in mind.
