FORESIGHT=DEAD END

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in prison.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your team uniform and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME% in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly levelled to the ground, with few survivors.

But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you? Well, some of you just died of alcohol poisoning, actually.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

[oh my god!]

--we shouldn't've put 3 of you up. Everyone's playing hard now 'n you're all gonna get votes.

[CONSIDERABLY MORE ALARMED BY THIS THAN HE WAS BY JUST OFFERING TO DIE]

No shit.

[he's pissed now]

Me goin' up every round by myself would've been fuckin fine.

Don't start that with me now.

We sent two up last time, and three up this time.

[he didn't realize there were two going up whoops.]

We might be fucked.

They're fucked.

You think I wanted fucking three of them up there? We have no one to blame for eating shit but ourselves.

I know!

[he likes it better when it's just him and you tbh, scythe.]

Yeah, uh. This tends to be how games go for us. Even when we play consistently hard.

Everyone volunteers t'die so everyone dies??

No.

We've done easing into playing, get fucked over. We start off playing hard, we get fucked over. We play hard the whole way though, we get fucked over. People actually try to save us in games? We get fucked over by statistical odds and get triple killed.

At this point, it's what we can live with and honestly, I'm fine if it's me taking damage.

I'm not fine with it!

I'm not asking you to be!

[...welp time to go do that thing you litearlly told him on day 1 not to do and just downvote everyone]

[he said not to do it when people veto it.

you're actually just doing what everyone wants--except the two upvotes]

I agree. We messed up.

[VIBRATES UNHAPPILY]

We fucked up.

Too late to do anything about it now.

[SO UNHAPPY NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN HIM THIS DISPLEASED]

...it'll be fine. We can take it.

We have before.

I don’t think that will make him feel better.

It's just the truth. It's not going to kill us, not for real.

We'll get back up and keep going like we always do.

Yeah, but all he wanted was to protect us. Telling him we’re just used to this will just make him feel worse. That attitude may make things fine for you, but it won’t make things fine for him.

That definitely isn't going to make him feel better.

Why the fuck did we send three of you up? I thought it was just gonna be Silk. And now there's almost nothing we can do to save any of you.

Look, it doesn't matter, okay?

[And he's not about to explain that he didn't want to ow AlcheME while AlcheME is in the room]

[Super extra especially, now that he feels they do in fact owe AlcheME, so it didn't actually matter]
