and it takes, and it takes, and it takes
[It... definitely takes a while for the weekly after-execution note to arrive, but it does --- kind of scrawly and on ripped paper rather than nice stationery.]
EY. YO. WE GOT EFFIGIES IN THE DINING ROOM AND WE'RE GONNA BURN EM.
FOOD TOO. THE USUAL AND HOT COCOA. GOOD FOR THE SOUL. GET SOME. MAYBE TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR ROOM IF YOU HAVE TO. JUST GET SOME.
[Anyway, in the dining room, there's plenty of mugs set out, with a janky looking arrow sign pointing into the kitchen to where you can get your hot cocoa. On the table, there's Vichyssoise, a pot of green tea, and some booze. There's also a cookie tray on the floor away from the table on which to burn the Wordsmith and Kimbley effigies, which are handily placed near the food on the table.
...also if you go in the kitchen without shoes on just. Watch the northern corner. There's no kidneys, but there's a lot of broken plates there for some reason...]

... Elda's never had a particularly deep conversation with Jasper and is under no pretense of friendship or illusion of a promise. Thus, she initially thought nothing of the fact she didn't see her around the afterparty until later in the night. Once she did- well.
She's going to knock on the door, a certain jar in her hand. Well, that and a book. ]
no subject
...Hello. Do you want to come in?
no subject
[ Dully. ] I've got two things for you, though.
[ Namely, a little black book and this jar of colored... sand? ]
no subject
She takes a seat on the bed.]
...I don't recognize either of those.
no subject
[ But she comes in, invited. She nods, taking up - well, she considers sitting on the desk, but instead she just keeps standing. Honestly, that puts them almost eye level. ]
The book first. [ she hands that off. "A simple leather-bound notebook full of someone's...well, notes. The handwriting is incredibly messy and it appears to be in German; it also contains complex diagrams of what look like chemistry notations." ] I'm almost certain this was Kimbley's.
no subject
[She stares at the book for a long moment. She flips through it for a moment before closing it.]
Thank you.
[It's not much use to her, because she can't read the language and knows little about chemistry, but if it's something of Kimbley's....]
no subject
... No, that made an excuse for them. Gold made his choice, just as Silver made his.
She bites her lip to hold anything else back, nodding solemnly to Jasper before she picks up the jar and shakes it. "A small bottle of star sand that’s said to bring you happiness just by having it. It’s called sand, but it’s not actually rock. It’s the husks of small undersea creatures." As she does, it rattles a bit, sparkling ]
... As for this, you're a gem, right? These look like gems to me.
[ . . . Even if they aren't. Like. At all. ]
no subject
...I've seen this before. I got one out of the machine, too. It's.... a little pretty, isn't it?
no subject
[ She sighs, shaking her head ]
... It's quite pretty, though. I wish I could see it in the moonlight.
no subject
Maybe we'll get a chance to see it, to get out of here.
no subject
[ DULLY. ]
... So, Jasper. Would you have been okay with winning under Kimbley's plan?
[ The real questions ]
no subject
It would have already started by the time he informed me.
[But that's just an excuse, and she knows it.]
Yes, I would have. I would assume I'm not alone. After all, Gold and Silver were planning something similar.
no subject
And despite how tired she is, her eyes turn predatory, much like they did at the tail end of the trial. ]
No, you wouldn't be. Those brats would've killed us all, and I'd promised Hanyuu weeks ago that when I worked it out, I'd win this game. But I'm not clever enough for something like killing everyone in their sleep.
no subject
Leave one of them alive, and both of them vote for the survivor.
[....]
If the Wordsmith would accept that, that's something else entirely.
no subject
[ Honestly, she still only mostly understands this conspiracy that Kimbley had. ]
no subject
I am still not convinced that this isn't the Wordsmith's way of finding a successor.
no subject

I tried to ask him if he was working with someone, and he refused to answer. I'm beginning to wonder if he was a previous winner. This seems too organized to be the work of one person, no matter how you look at it.
no subject
... Wait, really?! [ Shit that-- that actually makes a lot of sense. ] ... Damnation, that would explain a thing or two.
[ Elda's eyes went back to normal, but she's biting on her nail now ]
no subject
Even for Gems, something like this would be impossible for one person.
no subject
[ UGH ]
He didn't even know about the memory problems.

[ She came here to try and do Jasper a solid she shouldn't be doing this. But now she's crouched and sort of rocking on her heels as she thinks ]
