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.

What does it matter to you, I can promise they're not a threat to any of us.

[golden_dream]

... Is it someone in this room?

[jinglebros]

[ Santa folds his arms. ]

[golden_dream]

...

[jinglebros]

I told you, it's nobody that would hurt us.

[golden_dream]

Don't be a fool.

[jinglebros]

[ He looks pissed. ]

And what are you implying?

[golden_dream]

If you're so sure, why the secrecy?

[jinglebros]

Because I don't want any of you approaching him!

[golden_dream]

Why not?

[jinglebros]

Because I don't want confrontation.

[golden_dream]

Well, that's easy, isn't it? I promise you, I won't confront them.

See? Now you can say who it is, can't you?

[jinglebros]

That's you promising. Not everyone else.

[golden_dream]

Whisper it to me, then.

[jinglebros]

You're desperate for this information, aren't you? What'll you do in return?

[golden_dream]

"Do in return"?

I don't think I need to do anything for something like that. What do you want, anyway?

[jinglebros]

Information of equal value.

[golden_dream]

...Such as?

[jinglebros]

[ He smiles. ]

Nothing. There's absolutely nothing that would equal this betrayal.

[golden_dream]

Don't be so dramatic.

[jinglebros]

[ He laughs. ]

[golden_dream]

How is it a betrayal to tell us who gave you a ceramic knife?

Explain that to me, like I'm four years old.

[jinglebros]

Because then people know who's escalating this shit.

He gets looked at as a target, a threat.

[golden_dream]

So in other words, you trust this person more than us.

[jinglebros]

Stop looking into my words.
