[So… scouring the castle and the grounds and the town and… everywhere hasn’t gotten him any closer to finding where Chiyo’s gone. He’s had his journal open most of the day, but most of what’s going on has faded into a low buzz in his ear compared to the memory of her screaming. He finds himself in the library eventually, knows they need people

[how about no. she's still dubious about this]

It doesn't say how much blood the tree would take, does it?

[ultimaverum]

Not here, no. Just enough to fill the tree...

[saikyou_saiaku]

For all we know, the entire castle population's blood might not even begin to sate it. [if this is actually going to apply. :\]

[ultimaverum]

You'd rather it take all our children first?

[BRO. bro.]

Abel

[ultimaverum]

[Wh... what no, don't talk to him YOU'RE GONNA MAKE HIM FEEL BAD FOR GOING WITH THE FIRST SOLUTION THEY'VE FOUND]

Abel.

Charlie

[custodismundi]

[quite the opposite... he sounds sort of shellshocked, voice dull]

Chiyo's--

...I'm... sorry.

Sora is gone, too.

Abel

[ultimaverum]

[Long... silence...]

[WHAT WHAT NO FILTERS ARE THEIR FRIEND]

Then what are we supposed to do...

Q

[mouthiness]

[Ug ok fine]

There has to be something else we can do. We just have to find it. So don't you fucking dare. Don't even think about it.

Wade...

[There are kids... going missing... How can you ask him to just let this go]

[hulloeverything]

Human sacrifice is out of the question. We'll find another way.

[ultimaverum]

What if we don't?

[hulloeverything]

We will. There's always another way.

[ultimaverum]

....you think so? [Even in Paradisa, where mindfuck rarely comes with an out? Damn he wishes he had your faith Doctor]

[variare]

How much blood? I mean, if it just needs blood then... If several people, say, donated blood to it? Would it get what it wanted without anyone dying?

[ultimaverum]

Maybe... It doesn't say how much, or if the sacrifice has to die... [Trails off, but it's sort of implied. They should try it. Like... now would be good]

[variare]

I say round up a shit load of people who are willing to give their blood to a creepy tree, then. I'll head out there. Probably best to do it all at once, if we are gonna try.

/Jaaack

[hulloeverything]

And what if donating blood isn't enough. Are you really willing to kill someone? There's got to be another way.
