[ ok, someone's in the middle of a big hall, standing on a chair ] Hey...

Hey everyone!

Unless someone else voted for John, I'm sure I'm the last traitor. My name's Sora. S-o-r-a.

So... everyone can go home now! Well, almost.

And I've got... a favor to ask of anyone who lives by an ocean.

[ ooc: tags might be slow, sorry! ;;; ]

[ eta: favor

[Reki was in her room, bleaching her feathers. The tainted spots have been coming back faster, lately...]

[She was in her room, and then she hears Sora's shouting, muffled but understandable through the walls. The bowl of dye smashes on the floor, carelessly swept off as Reki lunges to her feet and runs.] Sora!

[She bursts into the room, dark eyes wide and dark hair flying everywhere, reddish dye dripping from the ends of her sodden feathers. Her mouth works for a second before she can speak.] What are you doing?

[clownfeethero]

I'm making sure everyone goes home this week--

[clownfeethero]

What's wrong with your wings?

[paintitgray]

I-- [She falters, and glances over her shoulder. Her feathers are a mess of gray and black, soaked in red. Droplets of dye patter to the floor, quietly.]

Nothing.

[clownfeethero]

--Are you bleeding?

[clownfeethero]

[ totally turns away ]

HEY! IS ANYONE A DOCTOR?

[paintitgray]

[That startles her out of the listless moment, immediately.] No! It's...it's just a dye. [She twitches a wing and catches a few clear drops on her palm, holding them wuickly out for his examination.] See?

[clownfeethero]

O--oh...

N-Nevermind...

That was scary! Why'd you dip them in dye?

[paintitgray]

To hide the black. [Reki pulls a face--her...disease...isn't what she wants to talk about. She came here to...]

[Ohgod.] Sora. [She grabs his shoulders suddenly, turning him to look into his face. The question is asked tensely.] You were shouting, just now, but I couldn't hear you. What...what were you shouting?

[It's a thin lie, almost a hopeful one. She could have heard wrong.]

[clownfeethero]

--Nevermind...?

...A-are you okay?!

[paintitgray]

I'm fine. [She gives her head a little shake, dismissing the question.] You said we could go home. Why?

[clownfeethero]

Well, there's only one traitor left, right?

[paintitgray]

[This is what comes of staying shut up in your room. Reki grabs for the notebook stuffed in her pocket and skims it again.]

Oh, no. [She swallows, looking from the red name to Sora and back.] And he...

[clownfeethero]

--Huh?

[paintitgray]

Sheppard.

[clownfeethero]

...What'd he do?
