pick a god and pray

[Like the weeks before, once everyone has wandered off their separate ways, notes are posted to each room that still has a warm body in it. Only this time the writing is much messier then any other notice]

None of us feel like celebrating, but I think Yato would approve if we don't spend the night hiding out because of him
There's warmed up food in the Game Room if you're hungry. Might be best to not be alone tonight.

-Yosuke

[And as promised there's leftovers in the Game Room; and eventually fresh stuff as Tarrlok gets to work in the kitchen. Yosuke is there, trying to set something up on one of the shelves, but otherwise you are left to your own devices]

...It's definitely different with a person. I've hunted before, definitely, and... well, it was for food, so you have to learn how to gut animals and skin them and such.

But... it's still kind of a natural thing, isn't it? You'd never begrudge a wolf for taking down a yak, because it's just survival. But at the same time, you shouldn't make the poor thing suffer. There's absolutely no reason to do that, unless there's something wrong with you.

I've never hunted, but I understand what you mean. [ ... ] I think it's safe to say that there's more than one thing wrong here--with our captor. He's obviously taken great care to set those punishments up, hasn't he?

I don't think just anyone can do something like that.

Well, we've been aware from practically day one that we're dealing with a very unique individual here -- a very unique individual who has the aid of some kind of shapeshifter executioner, by the looks of it.

If that's a separate being from him to begin with, anyway. I wonder who's enjoying all this more, in that case...
