THIRTY-TWO | VIDEO
[ Through a window, (how he'd managed to knock the locusts aside, don't ask) the device records a dark, almost black sky. His voice comes from beyond the image. ]
It's nine in the morning, by the by. And darkness is usually the ninth day. I had thought all this talk of slaughtering the conveniently placed lambs to be a touch rushed, but it does seem we're being given the fast tour of the plagues.
On the one hand, I am loathe to act out of curse-obligation, to be forced to kill or be killed for the sake of an insane, futile game.
On the other, I am not so fool as to risk dying here. Some curses have killed and the death has kept.
If it helps, you might consider the sheep to be artificial. There weren't all these l--beasts before, were there? A figment of the curse. They might disappear after all of this, even if we don't kill them.
[A silence, as if he might have said more- then the video cuts.]

If you are able to see this, it is for the following reasons: either I do not trust that you would kill the lamb, or I am uncertain as to whether you are aware that you would need to do it.
Generally, the "Angel of Death" targeted the firstborns. Unfortunately, the passage was not so specific as to whether or not the firstborn being already deceased would lead to the targeting of the next eldest thus, Inoue-san, you.
Sado-kun, I know that you would never lay a hard finger on a lamb
I trust some of you will have no difficulty, or choose to remain completely above it. For the rest; my door is open and by evening, will be appropriately bloodied.

[OOC: forward-dated to 9 AM! May be sleeping soon... so will tag throughout day, k. And uh, yeah, some hiatused people are on that list but, for the sake of inclusion, etc...]
