i feel the love, and i feel it burn, down this river every turn

[The trial, as usual, was taxing. It's for different reasons every week, but what it all comes down to is there are fewer of them than there were, and that keeps on happening. The note comes, as it always does, earlier than last week, but still with some delay. There's a note slipped under everyone's door. ...One under Gold's door because of course Silver will be staying there, she knows.]

Please come to the dining room, if you would like not to be alone. There will be food, and there will be some cards and board games if you need a distraction.

[True to that, there are a variety of foods. It's nothing too fancy. Rice, grilled fish, eggs in various styles. ...No creampuffs this time, it seems Hanyuu thought that would be a little in poor taste. Also a bunch of fries? ...Really spicy fries, like incredibly so.

On a far table, board games brought from the games room have been left out, along with many decks of cards.]

It really is. Some weeks are better than others, but that's not the sort of thing you're supposed to admit.

[Unless you're like him and laughing at the trials, but eh. It's not like he's ever tried to keep it a secret.]

...yeah, pretty much. It always does suck that you have to do whatever the Wordsmith wants you to, though.

Because he has power here and we don't have much of a choice but to obey. It's frustrating. I'm a king, I'm not used to bowing to others' whims!

Right? If I didn't have things I wanted to do after getting the heck out of here, I'd just break rules for the heck of it. Too bad that end in shadow monster.

Bit of a shame that he's got that thing at his beck and call. It doesn't seem to have any weaknesses to exploit either.

It's gotta have something. I just have no idea what it actually is.
