Week 6: Wednesday

[soulus]

[After the boardwalk shenanigans, Rufus flags Hua Cheng down.]

I have a message for you.

[supremity]

[ Hua Cheng lets Xie Lian go off and - do whatever it is that he's doing, either herding children or herding donkeys (or both? that's probably both) and comes to Rufus calmly. ]

What's that?

[soulus]

"It needs to be this week."

[supremity]

[ A slow blink, to process that. And then he inclines his head slightly. ]

Understood. [ even for as vague??? as that is?? he gets it ] Who'd it come from?

[soulus]

It was sent by Fiora.

[supremity]

Mm, that checks out. Thank you for delivering it, Rufus - it'll be resolved.

[soulus]

Is it about the requirement?

[supremity]

There are two teams currently that don't meet the requirement, unless someone's lying about having met it or not.

[ It's the last week, there's no point in secrecy on this one. ]

Considering this is our last shot, I know why Fiora would want that message to get to someone.

[soulus]

I am aware of Fiora's team.

[supremity]

Then you know where that team stands, now.

[ He spreads his hand, in a very there you have it kind of way. Whether he reads into Fiora's choice and Hua Cheng's response is up to him! He won't confirm anything. ]

But both teams should be hitting the requirement come the sleeping spell tomorrow.

[soulus]

Yes . . . If everything proceeds as planned, that is.

[supremity]

With this being our last chance to get it right, it better go as planned. I suppose that falls on the second team, in the end, since the first will be proceeding accordingly.

[soulus]

. . . I've delivered the message. I will be going now.
