W0, Sunday Night

[boxedcrook]

[Okay, but this explains why Kagome 2.0 didn't have a key. He plucked the single key they had out of the sand, leaving Katara to wander around until she found it.

He doesn't apologize.

But he's sitting on his haunches on his chest when she comes back in, his arms crossed and face sour. This whole One Person Dies, Teammate Dies thing is a little out of hand, he thinks.] Geez, I get out of babysitting one girl, and now I gotta babysit another.

Okay, the new rule is you have to stay in here for the rest of the game unless we're voting. That way you can't die.

Fine. [Has he moved from the arms-crossed-haunch-sitting position yet at all? Probably not.] Don't wander off either. Around the island. Not unless I'm with you.

And if someone tries to talk to you alone, don't go without telling me first. Just so I'll know who to blame when you turn up dead.

[seaclipsed]

That goes to you. Even if you can take care of yourself, with how the rules of this game are... people will probably try to blame others for murders they commit.

[ she hates saying that. killing is bad enough, but to actively attempt to frame someone else for it is even worse. but the possibility is there. ]

At least this way we can keep better track of things in case something like that happens.

[boxedcrook]

Fine. [Kagome wouldn't let him get out of it either, so he guesses he'll just fucking buckle up for it.] Who are you going to talk to now?

Who have you talked to already?

[seaclipsed]

I've spoken to a lot of people, but most of it was casual, "oh no what's going on" types of conversation.

[ so, you know, mingle post junk. ]

I spoke to Zuko, obviously, and also Lief? I mostly wanted to ask him why he was using a fake name before those profiles got revealed.

[boxedcrook]

[Same, bro.]

A fake name? Well, that's stupid. Even if we didn't get to see everyone's names, using a fake one won't change anything you do here.

What, he's going to murder someone, then walk out and say he's "Ichiro"? Yeah right.

[seaclipsed]

He never told me why he did it, but I would have been surprised if I had gotten a straight answer. If anything that just shows us he's one person who isn't above lying, I guess. Other than that he seemed nice though.

[boxedcrook]

I don't trust anybody, especially people who seem nice. That's just asking for trouble.

[With a heaved sigh, he uncrosses his arms and climbs up over the bed to sprawl out--turned away from her of course.]

Guess we'll just see who's dead by the end of the week.

[seaclipsed]

I would prefer to stop anyone from doing it.

[ inuyasha don't be fucking rude and look at the person you're speaking to ]

But there's so many people to keep an eye on. I can't even begin to guess who might make a move.

[boxedcrook]

[no make him]

I told you it was rigged from the start, girl. It's never going to be a fair game. That means we won't figure out who is doing the killing unless by sheer luck or running out of people.

[seaclipsed]

[ she wants to!!! stop the murders from happening altogether!!!! ]

It doesn't have to be luck. If we're smart enough we can figure it out without relying on the numbers dwindling.

[boxedcrook]

And how are we supposed to do that, huh, smartypants? [He actually turns over to his back and folds his arms behind his head--so he can look at her, of course.] We didn't know anything about "teams," so there might be more rules that bastard isn't telling us.

And there's multiple "roles." What if they are trying to stop us from figuring out who is killing everyone? Not to mention, if one person in the team dies, so does the other one.

So if someone really does have a role and the other doesn't--getting rid of one of the killers means we take out someone innocent, too.

Betcha didn't think about that, did ya? Sounds just like something sleazy that guy would do.

[seaclipsed]

[ she opens her mouth to argue, but then shuts it, considering his words. ]

... You're actually pretty smart, aren't you?

[boxedcrook]

Only dumb people assume other people are dumb. [POT... meet Kettle.......] It doesn't take a genius to realize those guys are taking us for a ride. There's probably a whole bunch of tricks up their sleeves.

Just don't be surprised when we wake up and find people dead. They'll make sure it happens.

[seaclipsed]

You are aware that you've been calling me dumb since we've met, right?

[ sorry she has to point this out. ]

[boxedcrook]

That's different! [Quickly, he turns right back over again so his back is in her direction. Clearly if he doesn't see her, she's either not there or won't bug him about it.] Anyway, are you gonna go to sleep or not?

[seaclipsed]

It's kind of hard to sleep with everything going on.

[ but she figures that forcing him to continue the conversation will just do more harm than good. ]

I'll talk to you in the morning?

[ or not. they will have another chat sooner or later though. ]

HAPPY DIEDAY

[boxedcrook]

Yeah, yeah. Just go to sleep already. Geez.
