[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a chapel.

You're wearing bloodstained versions of your 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 leveled to the ground, with few survivors.

But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you? You were the rioters.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh. You were them too, weren't you?

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

It could be fake--nobody wants to die. They're just hoping someone'll take pity on 'em without doing any work.

True...

...well, it's not fake if nobody wants to die, but when it's hard to tell who anyone is—I guess it'd still be hard if we knew.

If you ain't gonna work for it, then you don't deserve it. That's how life should work.

But isn't someone saying they don't want to die probably the most real?

[ sorry for your resident bleeding heart,

send her back to lego land while the grownups make the hard choices around here... ]

So--everybody else is faking it 'cause they're trying to play the game?
claestrophe: (scared)

No--I just mean, isn't it just an honest plea not to die?

But isn't everybody else doing the same thing? Why pick that guy and not anybody else?

...I ain't saying it ain't shitty. But it's gonna be bad for somebody no matter what. A lot of somebodies... That's just how life is.

[ well. okay it's hard to argue with that logic, especially when you're not the brightest bulb in the box. BESIDES. ]

Uhm... but not that bad, right?

[ RIGHT? ]

'Cuz it's all a dream...!
unbr8kable: (really though)

Re: DISCUSSION

[Wow, it's hard to argue with because it is right,]

A dream? Ours or somebody else's?

[ She laughs--but it's a distinctly uncomfortable sound. ]

That's--your really funny, Nemesis. Ours, of course.

Yeah, well...

[With effort, does not make any more grim comments, since, believe it or not, she actually was not that interested in destroying her innocence...whoops]

[ Nemesis is a good girl. ]

Absolutely! Magic is the best! And I'd definitely share it with my favorite sister.

[Her (admittedly weak) smile goes a little brittle, and she shrugs]

Yeah...sure, sounds good. Anyways, let's just get through the game, first.
claestrophe: (fired up)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] claestrophe 2020-05-26 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Right. We need to work on winning!

[ MARKET! OUR! PEEPS!!! ]

I won't let you down!

Yeah...yeah. We're counting on you.
