night one; hunters
Through the night, the wind howls and a blizzard rages, but everyone is safe and warm locked inside their cabins. Everyone, that is, except you. At 11 PM precisely, the door from your bedroom to the outside world creaks open. If you were sleeping, you will find yourself stir to the sound.
Outside, despite the sounds of a blizzard and the whiteout blocking the views from your window, the world is still and calm. The ground and trees are blanketed in thick snow, but no snow is falling and the wind is no longer blowing.
You find yourself drawn out into the snow, unable to feel tired or cold despite the freezing temperature and the late hour. It is impossible to resist the call you feel to journey out into the dark woods, past the old graveyard, to where the trees meet the cliffs and caves at the edge of the mountains.
Here, you and fourteen others gather. There is a feeling in the air as though you are being watched, but besides the other visitors, you're all alone. For now, you don't know what has brought you here, but you can't bring yourselves to leave.
((OOC: Just a note on how threads with Critter will work! There will be several 'stages' to Critter's explanations, which I'll be accomplishing by posting various subthreads. You can tag into any stage assuming your character has heard the rest, or you can tag earlier on and we can thread until you reach the next stage.
So, for example, in Critter's arrival, when you reach the point of needing to know the rules, your conversation progresses to the next subthread directly below the arrival. You can then reply to that subthread to continue the conversation if you want. I may stall on replying to you if your reply is getting to a subthread I don't want to post quite so quickly.
I know this is confusing, but this is so I can thread with all of you as much as you want without having to get into weird thread orders and so everyone hears all the relevant info.))

Togami-kun!? You're here?
...
Is Fukawa-san here too...?

Unwillingly, yes. If your talent of good luck had any effect on your life, you wouldn't be in this situation again, would you?
no subject
[ for obvious reasons, man. ]

[ COME ON GOOD LUCK, KICK IN A LITTLE MORE... ]
no subject
I-I see. I can't really blame you for that... Anyway, what're you going to do, Togami-kun? About...this "game", I mean.
no subject
I don't know how true this game's rules will hold out; however, if my life is on the line, I will do what it takes to survive.
[ a brief, punctuated pause with intention. his words are harsh (icy and piercing) but believable and full, as they usually are. ]
... Meaning, if it comes down to participating in this absurd game, then... so be it. Do you plan on letting your morals come before your life, Naegi?
no subject
I...
[ He takes a deep breath to calm himself before continuing. ]
I don't think I can bring myself to kill anyone... But at the same time, I don't want to force someone into my position because I refused.
[ Hello, dilemma... ]
no subject
really sorry for the late tag, IRL was super demanding.togami speaks to naegi as if he's a veteran at deciding between two immoral things. well, he is a businessman. that sort of attitude is necessary. ]
I highly doubt that virtue will hold true when you're facing death.
[ a short, amused laugh. ]
The weak will never out-live the strong, even if their end is delayed, they will always meet it. This is something you need to come to terms with.
no subject
Don't worry about it!Togami, we thought we taught you better than that. 8| ]...That's not always true. The strong can meet their ends just as fast as the weak if they overestimate themselves... And frankly, I'd be scared for myself if I ever really came to terms with murder.
