newlydead r2 - day 8 - 6 999s and 3 ushiromiyas

[jinglebros]

[ It's the morning after the Battle of the Bands and time for another meeting. Breakfast is a thing this time as well. Santa's tried to make something pretty decent but it's hard when all you have is shit from fast food places. Still, if you know your hacks, McCrepes are totally possible. So, there's a bunch of those on the conference table this time, accompanied by coffee. ]

Let's do this shit, huh? No squabbling this time, we did enough of that the last go around.

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about his past and I'm talking about the fact he has someone to lose. That's enough to put anyone on edge at this point. We're in a goddamn murder game, for fuck's sake.

I feel the same. I feel like I have a target on my back. I can't blame him for feeling like he has one on his.

[Her eyebrows go up at his past because she won't push him on that point - probably unproductive - but that just raises so many questions that might get answered later in the game during a truth segment. WHO DOES HE HAVE THAT IN COMMON WITH...]

It doesn't matter how brightly colored the target is if the person aiming at it is sufficiently far away, you know. An arrow won't hit you right now, will it? You have June to vote for you that round. Even if it's also stressing you out that your beloved sister is here... because it is unfortunate.

Two words: hotel passes.

[keybroad]

[Actually quite angry and it's mainly the defense mechanism of sarcasm that keeps her from actively shouting]

Oh, no, you'll be suddenly not killed! That's the worst and most terrible fate that I can imagine.

[jinglebros]

Prove to me the hotel is real and not just a cover for another kind of death. Do it somehow.

[ Not put off by her anger at all. ]

[keybroad]

They kept showing us live feeds of Emily! Do you want some crazy explanation like it was filmed earlier and she forgot! A doppelganger actress? Natsuhi, you were the one who asked him, tell Santa how--

[Her anger deflates like a balloon as she turns to see that Natsuhi is no longer there.]

[jinglebros]

[ He grits his teeth and watches her, quiet for a minute until he speaks again. ]

I'm going to tell you this once and once only. Don't assume what's going to happen to everyone is simply cut and dried.

[keybroad]

[Lotus tilts her head very slightly and sucks in air through her teeth. Then:]

It's a good thing you're only saying that once. If you wanted a target on your back, you'd say that again. Because if anyone knows that you don't have faith in the hotel and what you do have is a weapon? [Clicks tongue.]

[jinglebros]

I thought I was supposed to have trust in the group. I thought I was supposed to be able to say things in here that wouldn't get out.

[keybroad]

A group of more than five people.

[ He levels her with a glare. ]
