Crossbill takes a moment to evaluate the situation, her eyes scan you one by one, she’s used to making difficult decisions — and this will be no different. A royal decree must be enacted for the well being of the Kingdom.
“Hmm, I see my people are losing their focus… These challenges have taken their toll.” Crossbill snaps her fingers to make your hobos pay attention. “I’ll take this into account for my decision.”
“I-I assure you that I’m in peak physical condition!” Ichie doesn’t want to be seen as lazy.
“But mentally? You’re out of this game and thinking of another…” Crossbill is implying something… “And you aren’t the only one.” She pokes Ruby’s head!
“…” Ruby turns redder out of sheer embarrassment.
“What’s next then?” Suan De crosses her arms.
“I want all of these plebs rounded up and sent… back to their homes to relax!” Crossbill proclaims. “They’re overstimulated.”
“Their homes? This is their home.” You point out.
“I’m telling you to drag ‘em to bed, bestie! Do you know a better place to relax and let your mind unfold? Where’s the biggest one we can drop ‘em off in?” Crossbill wonders. Upon hearing this, Ichie pretends to be exhausted.
“Ruby’s room has the largest bed.” You point out.
“I-I have to tidy up first, excuse me.” Ruby rushes inside her room.
“...If we’re going to bed, I'd rather go to sleep on my own.” Suan De doesn’t want to see where this is going, believing this will be dumb.
“Yeah, you have a headache, don’t you? Go, hope you had fun. We’ll see each other in the mornin’!” Crossbill smiles at her.
“Right. Is that okay with you?” Suan De asks for your permission for whatever reason.
“You don’t have to ask me. We had a long day, didn’t we?” You take off the paperbag to smile at her. “Have a good night’s rest!”
“...Night, then. And… be careful.” Suan De takes her shoes off as she starts walking into her new room. What a strange thing to say before leaving. Bradford Jr. meows, you pet him briefly, and then he goes to bed (your room) too.
“Okay, so…” You were going to say something to your bestie, but they’re all gone…
The door to Ruby’s room is half open… You have to explore.
Immediately upon entering, Crossbill shuts the door behind you. Both subjects are on the bed waiting on their knees as you last saw them.
“So, Johnny, we went ahead and started playing another round, and good news, you’re the king! I played for you ‘cause I’m doing guard duty.” Crossbill shows you the last straw! “Bad news is that we walked back the rules! You can order only one peasant at a time. So… Choose wisely. Or not. I’m not your boss. Game’s gonna be fun for you whatever happens.”
