Who: Pygnus
Where: Cygnus dorms
When: Day 224, late morning
What: After-game reporting to the other swans.

...So, it was a very nice game! There were no zombie attacks; everyone got to hide behind a mask and enjoy themselves.

And everyone was allowed to keep their outfits! A few people liked the one I made.

	Do you think about that, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	About leaving? About what I would wish for? I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[nods] What do you think you'd wish for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suspect it has something to do with searching for my King or regaining my horn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maid_to_forget 2011-03-22 07:43 am UTC (link)
	I see... I thought it'd be something like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't have many memories of Gyousou-sama, but the ones I have are clear. Maybe there's something else I haven't remembered yet, but I don't think the feeling will change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gyousou-sama was your King? Did something happen to him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gyousou-sama went to calm a rebellion in the other part of the kingdom. I was worried and a man who I considered trustworthy told me things about the battlefront when others said not to worry. I was young, a lot younger, so I believed him... He tricked me into sending off my protectors so he could try and kill me. He said Gyousou-sama was dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How terrible! Were you able to escape? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unicursed 2011-03-22 08:49 am UTC (link)
	[tentatively touches his head] I might have, or else I wouldn't be here. But the last thing I remember from that moment is a sharp pain on my forehead. The man, Asen, had a sword and swung it... and it met my horn. That's why it's gone now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maid_to_forget 2011-03-22 09:33 am UTC (link)
	I see... so of course you want to find it, and know your King is safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unicursed 2011-03-22 09:40 am UTC (link)
	Yes. When I made my way here, I kept thinking I still had things to do. I'm going to keep going. ...But what about you? What do you think is your wish? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maid_to_forget 2011-03-22 09:45 am UTC (link)
	Aha... I wonder. Really, I'm not that sure. I think I had everything I needed where I was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unicursed 2011-03-22 09:50 am UTC (link)
	Maybe you haven't remembered yet? There must be a reason for us to choose to come here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maid_to_forget 2011-03-22 09:58 am UTC (link)
	[gives a small laugh] Isn't that strange? The message of ourselves tells us we did this willingly, and the Judges make us repeat it when we win. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unicursed 2011-03-22 10:02 am UTC (link)
	It's like a vow. If the others who have won say it's true, I suppose we should trust in that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maid_to_forget 2011-03-22 10:22 am UTC (link)
	Oh... have they said that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unicursed 2011-03-22 10:27 am UTC (link)
	By repeating that they did it willingly, at the end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maid_to_forget 2011-03-22 10:39 am UTC (link)
	Hm... But that could just be lip service, don't you think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unicursed 2011-03-22 10:47 am UTC (link)
	[thinks it over] I don't believe it's that. The Judges have been honest about most things, as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maid_to_forget 2011-03-22 10:54 am UTC (link)
	But the Judges are also very emotional and don't react well to us contradicting them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unicursed 2011-03-22 11:07 am UTC (link)
	There are some Judges who are fair. Kind, even—Shadow, for one. And even if it isn't true... what could we do with that knowledge? We'd still be here. There will still be games. We would be no closer to leaving. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maid_to_forget 2011-03-23 12:04 am UTC (link)
	Yes... I guess you are right about that. Well, yes. In terms of how we live day-to-day it doesn't really change anything. But it would change the relationship of everyone here, wouldn't it? No longer would we be 'competing volunteers', but 'prisoners'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unicursed 2011-03-24 09:11 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps it was kinder for the Judges to have us think we were volunteers. Why they would have us come here, however, is still a mystery. Why us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maid_to_forget 2011-03-27 02:35 am UTC (link)
	...I don't know. ...do you think Ophiuchus would know? Apart from the Judges, I can't think of who else would. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
