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.

[ and in that moment, katara realizes she is going to fucking DIE ]

You won't. Defending yourself is one thing, but don't go and do something terrible just because that man told you to.

[boxedcrook]

[Stubbornly, he crosses his arms.] Like I would do what some guy told me to do anyway. [No, he's too much of a moron.]

But a lot of others would, especially if there's a reward. And if there's "roles." What kind of game is this anyway?

If they wanted people to fight, why didn't they just let them? Being sneaky is so stupid.

[seaclipsed]

I think the point is to be sneaky... I'm guessing you didn't a role either then, since we're supposed to be on a team?

[ is that how roles work. how the fuck do they work. ]

[boxedcrook]

Well, it's stupid. [GOD, CAN'T PEOPLE JUST FIGHT TO THE DEATH WITH HONOR?] No, I don't got a role. But how do I know you aren't lying? Maybe one of us has a role, but the other doesn't?

Nah, that can't be right. Then what's the point of a team?

[seaclipsed]

Even if only one person in a team had a role, there wouldn't be any point in making them keep it a secret to each other, I think. You'd only be hurting yourself then. The whole point would be that you can only really trust your teammate since your lives are tied together.

[ and okay, inuyasha is annoying, but katara has handled the angry dumb boy type before. she wonders how the other groupings turned out. ]

[boxedcrook]

[Honestly, this sounds dumber and dumber to him. But at least it's a tiny bit familiar? People having roles are like demons having Jewel shards.]

So what are we supposed to do? Sit on the beach and sing songs while morons scramble around with roles they won't tell?

Kagome and the others aren't even here. So I don't know anyone. Do you know anyone else here?

[seaclipsed]

I know Zuko. He wouldn't kill anyone.

[ a montage of all the times zuko has tried to set her on fire plays in her head. ]

I don't know anything about who his partner is though.

[boxedcrook]

[Inuyasha seems sort of ????????]

Pah. I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. He may be in with his "partner."

[seaclipsed]

I know Zuko. He may have his faults [ his... many faults ] but he wouldn't kill someone like that. The only way I can see it even remotely happening is if he got attacked or something.

[ listen there is no way zuko would betray her (again). ]

[boxedcrook]

[katara, you fool]

Fine. It's not like I can really believe your word anyway. That just means he has an accomplice if he tells you his role, and you don't tell anyone else.

[seaclipsed]

Why would I lie about this when it would put both of us in danger? And that's if he even has a role, we don't know how many there are, do we?

[ that's an actual question. ]

[boxedcrook]

No. Those guys didn't say anything about how many. The rules didn't say how many either.

We should just ask everyone if they have a role. But no one would bother telling us anyway, so it's useless. He told someone he has ways of making people kill if we didn't.

Sleazy bastard.

[seaclipsed]

If no one decides to do it though, does he choose someone to force into doing it? How is that decision even made?

[ will hal come knocking on their door one night or something? ]

[boxedcrook]

[francy and anna in meta: ...probably]

I don't know. He doesn't seem like the type. He was telling everyone else he didn't want to get involved. That seems like a weird thing to say about a guy who runs the place, if you ask me.

Why make a stupid game like this and then not want to be involved? Can't be fairness. The whole game isn't fair.

[seaclipsed]

That one kid was saying that they think he's being forced to do this against his will like the rest of us, but... it doesn't seem like that's right either? His entire attitude is off for someone who supposedly regrets his actions.

[ hey why do neither of the people in this thread understand how computer programming works. ]

[boxedcrook]

[Inuyasha doesn't even know what a bicycle is, so can you expect anything more?]

Tch. Guess not. He doesn't care about seeing any of us die. He said this wasn't the first one. So we don't even know how many people really died so far.

[seaclipsed]

Maybe we should try finding out how past games went? I don't know if he'd actually be honest about it though.

[ mostly she wants to know if there's some other way to win. ]

We already know there's stuff about the game not in the rules because the partner thing wasn't mentioned in them, even though it's important.

[boxedcrook]

He probably wouldn't even bother telling us.

But there's two of them. Maybe the other one can have information beat out of him.

[seaclipsed]

Zuko tried punching Hal and said that they're basically too difficult to beat up. They're made of metal, I guess, so they're really hard.

[boxedcrook]

[Inuyasha thinks he'd get along great with Zuko. Punching Hal? Fuck yeah.]

He just wasn't strong enough. I could rip them apart with my bare hands if I wanted. Then I could get off this stinkin' island.

[seaclipsed]

... Have you tried doing something like that since you got here?

[ he keeps talking about demons so like, she assumes? he's one or whatever?? but everyone with special abilities seems to have them nerfed. so. ]

[boxedcrook]

Yeah? Who do you think I am? Geez.

[He tried. He tried jumping onto the roof of the longhouse with Nino on his back and only made it, like, three feet off the ground before falling on his face in the sand.]

[seaclipsed]

So... did it work?

[ :/ ]

[boxedcrook]

No.

Didn't I say someone stole my powers and my sword! Probably those two guys! I'm not better than a... human!

[seaclipsed]

So then don't say you can easily defeat him when you can't.

[ ya dingus ]

And what is with this human prejudice anyway?
