Roooobiiiiinnnn!
[hear that
that's the sound of yuna yuki's latest mission
sorry damian.
but anyway, here she comes sprinting right down the center of the town when she sees Damian wandering out and about, waving her hand over her head. You'd think she'd maybe slow down like?? At all???? Like because of coyote adventures if literally nothing else at all but no apparently not.]
Hey, Robin! Are you busy?

im fucking dying irl bc this is exactly how jason and auger felt in shiptrap
Just because someone else wants to do something stupid doesn't mean you should follow along with them! [Sorry. He's just... he's mad that none of them have thought to suspect Yuna and have them filled in with information. GOD!!] What I told you wasn't a lie.
The game can be ended through a role, or it can be ended other ways as long as they follow limiting parameters. [He sighs. His fingers massage the bridge of his nose and his eye sockets before he drops them back down.] I need to know who the Madame is, too.
There are five Bounties, including me. One of them has already been killed, leaving four. I've found two of them, and the Sheriff should tell us who the remaining Bounty is. Those were the rules.
Jackson is also helping us. [Honorary Bounty, Percy Jackson.] The other roles are the Deputy and the Doctor, not counting the Bandits. They are randomized. I know the Doctor.
We're all looking for the Deputy. That's how I can end the game; however... [He frowns.] I will have to kill them. We're looking for another way.
We were trying to find you both so you could help us. The Deputy is in charge of the stocks. They can put people in the stocks to potentially die or put them in the jail to spare. They choose the stocks, making the people vulnerable to Bandit attacks.
They're using their role to hurt others, not help them. It's going to be someone who wants to do that. I assume they are looking for me.
The common trait between Chase, Arisu, and Todd is they are teenagers. If the Deputy gets a hint, perhaps the Sheriff told them they should be looking for someone young.
That means you can't be stupid anymore. You can't stay outside by the stocks.
[GOD. LET HIM REST.] It's fine. I was the one who put the trap there to protect the person in the stocks. I'm going to trap it every night from now on.
SHIPTRAP 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO
I didn't think you were lying. I believe you, and I'm really glad you told me all this. But I didn't think we were doing anything stupid...
[she's trying her best and mostly she is just sad that it isn't helping :(]
Can you tell me who the other roles are so that the Madame and I don't have to waste time investigating them?
[She pauses, folds and unfolds her hands over her heart. She isn't so stupid as to be blindly, entirely faithful in everyone here, but...given an opportunity to help, to protect people, the Deputy's chosen to hurt them instead. They're trying to find Damian. They want to hurt him, too. Yuna can feel her heart sink, finds something as close to anger as she ever musters.
It isn't enough for her to want them to die, whoever they are. It isn't fair for the responsibility of that death to be placed on Damian. It makes that feeling that might be fury bubble a little more fiercely.]
I...promised the Madame I wouldn't tell... Is it okay if I ask and tell you later today?
[and that's only the beginning of the bad news]
...I can't stop staying with whoever's in the stocks. I'm sorry. [SHE'S GOTTA BE STUPID but she's speaking so gently, knowing already that this isn't going to go over well.] I'm worried that a trap won't be enough. I didn't know about it, but I could still notice and avoid it, and even some of the coyotes almost got by when I was there with Shinnosuke-kun... I can't just leave someone all alone and put them at risk when there's a way for me to help.

The other two Bounties are Milla and Noctis.
I can't tell you who the Doctor is because-- [He grits his teeth and looks away.] Just ask Todd. He found her, but he made me promise not to tell anyone so she wouldn't get hurt.
She's able to pick items to help us, but only based on a collection of suggestions the Sheriff gives her. Aside from that, she can revive one person. [He looks back at Yuna again. This time, he's mildly angry.]
Don't be an idiot. You have a role. You're important to ending this game for all of us. Carelessly throwing your life away when there are better ways to protect whoever is in the stocks is ridiculous and stupid.
Do you remember what happened to Chase? That's what will happen to you if you are out there alone.
no subject
We've been rooming together all this time and I had no idea...! [AAAA MILLA IS HER FAVE SHE CAN'T BELIEVE SHE DIDN'T KNOW!!!] Okay. I'll ask Jason. Thank you.
[But she takes a slow breath, and for a moment she avoids that angry look he gives her but it's fleeting, and she meets Damian's eyes.]
I wouldn't do this if I didn't think I could take care of myself. I can. I still have a lot to do here, and a lot to do at home, so I won't die for nothing.
[She's holding her hands at her heart again, though; she needs Damian to know how serious she is, how much this means to her, but she's still so stricken by the unfairness of him being left in charge of this.
(It didn't hurt so deeply when it was her at home, a Hero of the Taisha, but this doesn't occur to her now.)]
What would have happened to Shinnosuke-kun if I wasn't there? The trap couldn't have stopped all of those coyotes. I can't leave people all by themselves when they're helpless.
[She sighs, but it's light and small.]
I shouldn't have been there by myself with Shinnosuke-kun. I'm sorry. I still made it out okay, though, didn't I? [for...given values of okay......] I won't go out there alone anymore. Usually Milla comes with me, but I wanted her to rest since she was hurt so bad. I have to keep standing guard, but I won't do it on my own anymore.
no subject
Even if Maxwell can't come with you, at least ask someone else to do it. [Why... Why does he sound like his father??? STOP.
This is not what he wants to sound like, but--UGH. Too much Wayne.] Just because you have the capabilities doesn't mean you can be a moron. You still have to plan, and you still have to think of the consequences.
We could have found two bodies by the stocks because of carelessness. We would have lost someone with an important investigative role.
[He sighs.] Whatever. Forget it. It's done. There's no use wasting time arguing. Next time, don't stay without someone else.
no subject
All right. I won't go out on Thursday nights on my own anymore. I promise.
[And now she crouches a little, hands on her knees and meeting Damian's eyes at his height. It isn't very often that she's taller than people around here!!!]
Thank you for worrying about me. I'm going to work twice as hard, though, to keep myself and everyone else safe so you won't have to anymore, okay?
no subject
For some reason, Damian looks momentarily befuddled by Yuna's comment.] That isn't--
I'm not worrying. [He's absolutely worrying.] It's just ridiculous to act like an idiot in regards to protecting people! There are better methods!
I'm not relinquishing the duty of protection over to you!
[NOT THAT HE WAS PROTECTING ANYONE IN THE FIRST PLACE, LISTEN.]
no subject
I'm not asking you to relinquish anything to me. But you must be really busy, right? You've been looking so hard for me and the Madame, and you must be putting a lot of work into keeping everyone else together. You can't overwork yourself, though, so at least just let me borrow that duty for now so you can take a break!
Thank you for all your hard work, Robin.
no subject
I'm not too busy to be unable to protect others! [Except, you know, like 9284928 people have died already. No big deal. Not busy.] This is nowhere near the work I do in my own world with my father.
I can do this without people thinking they can "help." You'll all just get in my way.
no subject
That isn't true. There's a reason there are a bunch of bounties with a leader, and why we have a Hero Club. I know you must work really hard! I've had to do tougher stuff with my Hero Club at home, too, so I understand. Still, that doesn't mean it's going to be okay for me to keep going here on my own. It's the same for you. You can't do everything all by yourself, and if you keep trying, you'll get hurt.
[Her voice and expression soften.] I'm worried about you, you know. You've been doing so much since you got here, and I know you're really tough, but it's still no good to go it alone.
