...can I ask what your roles are as our leaders in all of this, Izuminokami? [ this isn't a rude question like "WHAT GOOD ARE YOU", this is genuine because he's getting the idea the leaders really cannot do much here. also this is nico "working with people cramps my style" di angelo. he's better about it now, but even so. ]
I do have a team, I guess. And maybe we can make a choice, it's just that every single choice we can make sucks. Everything I think of that I could maybe do to try to help turns out to be stuff I actually can't do here, at least in terms of getting other answers before we act.
[ ....ugh. ]
We have another few weeks until that festival, right?
[ with a sigh, he calls back upon the sword of light to transition into a restless slash in one fluid movement. ]
We are meant to "guide" you. With what is anyone's guess - maybe to remind you to work together, or to convince you to go ahead and follow the "villain" rule. Anything it takes to win would be my guess, because we win if you win, and we lose if you lose.
But we already had our fight, and as far as we knew, we'd won. Making us leaders could just as easily have been a way to force us into passive roles.
[ following the light slash like a cat follows a laser pointer with its eyes. cool...
wait, fuck, focus. ]
So that means in terms of our numbers you also don't actually count as a part of the team. Leaders can't act as villains, and if a whole team's erased the leader doesn't count toward that team. What happens to them if a team is erased though? Have your higher ups said? I guess that makes sense, but...[ he frowns. ]
You mean when the moon came down the first time, right? By putting you into the leader roles, you started the cycle all over again without having to go through the same channels. [ he hates that actually. ] What do you think would happen if we met the criteria early? Let's say all eight teams did act as villains like...by next week or the week after. Would we then be able to find a way to stop it from happening in the rest of the weeks leading to the festival or even just skipping over that wait period?

A few more weeks, yes.
