[ You're in your room, and someone steps out of the mirror. ]

Evening.

[ Who doesn't want a badger grandpa with soulless black pits for eyes who can walk through mirrors and gives you a bomb? ]

And they'll die instead of whoever's ousted...? Will they just explode when I give it to them?

[protoshepherd]

No. Something else.

It is bomb. But it is not explode.

[spiritpearls]

[ That is a relief... she was sort of picturing herself ending up in human exploded bits after using it, which uh... would be extra awful. ]

Like a... time bomb? It marks someone?

[protoshepherd]

Different.

You will see after oust.

[spiritpearls]

[ How (not) reassuring. ]

And this person I choose... what if they aren't a bad badger, either? What if I get it wrong?

[ Because that would be very, very easy to do... especially since she's not sure the bad badgers even exist. ]

[protoshepherd]

Don't know.

[spiritpearls]

[ Well, at least he didn't say "if that happens I'll murder you" or something, but... gee, isn't this grand. ]

Does this only work for the next ousting, or can I hang onto it for a while?

[ She hates to think that there will be more than one of these ousting things, but uh. Clearly there will be. Do you hear that, Mr Badger? It's the sound of Pearl's pure heart breaking quietly, just a little. ]

[protoshepherd]

Just next. Second night. Later.

[spiritpearls]

[ She looks somewhat relieved to hear that. If she doesn't use it, at least it won't be a looming issue to deal with, driving her mad. ]

Anything else I should know about it...?

[ Like "don't drop it or you die", "if you don't use it you die", or even "it's non-refundable and has no cash value also you will die". ]

[protoshepherd]

[ He just shakes his head, and takes a step back. His foot enters the mirror, then he turns and goes right back inside.

The mirror is back to normal, now. ]

((OOC: Please do tell me if you plan on having her use the mirror after ousting :] The whole giving the coin thing can easily be handwaved. Thank you!))
