newlydead r3 - day 10 - corrin and niles

[jinglebros]

[ So here is one Aoi and Corrin at Niles' dressing room door. Aoi is fretting quite a bit and hanging tightly onto Corrin's hand because of it. With his free hand he knocks loudly on the door, glancing at the prince. ]

Not sure where to look for him if he's not here.

[ At the sound of 'we' Aoi both relaxes and looks incredibly worried. But. ]

As long as we can get her into the cells, I don't think it matters in the end. That's just where the final fight has to go down. Locked in there.

[ aoi you don't half ass even your bid pitches do you ]

[chosemyfate]

... She seems closest to that detective, if it's someone she cares for that you are looking for.

But it sounds like it's a matter of who to get in there, then.

[ No Corrin, you will not try to volunteer to go in the cage with Hannah. .....ok he might try offering at some point. ]

[locktouching]

Doesn't Aoi have to do it? Or can anyone?

[jinglebros]

...technically I'm supposed to make someone else do it... but I feel like shit making someone else do my dirty work...

[chosemyfate]

Is that the condition of the bid? I'm sure you can't go against it if it is?

[ Looking worried at the idea of Aoi possibly harming himself in his own bid, ]

[jinglebros]

...yeah it is.

[ Vastly uncomfortable. ]

[locktouching]

So make me do it. Tell me you want me to do it.

[jinglebros]

[ Covers his face. ]

I don't want to risk you dying.

[chosemyfate]

I'd absolutely refuse it, Niles.

[But then who else, Corrin....?]

[locktouching]

Don't be so quick to refuse me.

The hosts provide anything needed to carry out a bid, right? They've given an explosive, poisons, a sword... This is my chance to get back my bow and chains.

[jinglebros]

....

[ Aoi really can't think of anything to argue against that, except that he doesn't want it, and that's a terrible argument. ]

[chosemyfate]

...

[ Is at a loss of words to say, as well, because it would only be more protesting. ]

[locktouching]

You know I'm the best at captures.

[jinglebros]

...okay

[ His voice is very, very small. ]

[chosemyfate]

[ He can only nod in silence.

Very well. His fists clench a bit.]

....

What would we need to do next? Get Niles what he needs? [Eyes Aoi. ]

[jinglebros]

I can do that. They're supposed to provide everything...
