BARiTONES
[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a manor.
You're wearing bloodstained (but fancy!) versions of your uniforms, 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? In fact, you were one of the rioters.
...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! ]

Re: After round 3
Long-term considerations will almost never win out over short-term gratification with a mortal. I cannot see how this benefited any but those who would enjoy seeing this unit suffer some, as you say.
Re: After round 3
Truthfully, I don't want to hear your bickering right now. Might you wait until I'm not so brittle.
Re: After round 3
But if you'll sit still I'll shut up.

[But when he has done checking on them he'll come back to sit with Emet. Look, he'll be an asshole but he'll do his best to keep anyone on this unit from actually murdering/eating/whatevering each other while fucked up.]
Re: After round 3
After a long pause.]
Truthfully, the mental effects are worse. This is deeply annoying at worst.
Re: After round 3
... It is only flesh.
[But he won't say watching Emet swallowed by the floor with no idea of his fate only to have him returned like this was, bad. It is, after all, only flesh.]
I suppose I am grateful for that.
Re: After round 3
[He leans in an winces because moving hurts a lot.]
You really out to try out the spa that we have. You need to relax. I think all of this is getting to you.
Re: After round 3
[You didn't want to have debates so he HOLDS HIS TONGUE be fucking proud.]
If you'll join me. Your age seems to be catching up with you, given your stiff joints.
Re: After round 3
Well, I suppose there you have it. Your first game. Usually the targets are more discernable, but these are the roles and acts we must play.
Re: After round 3
But yes. I see. It was a good experience, in a sense. I will adjust my expectations and behaviors accordingly.
Re: After round 3
Before our star was Sundered, you used to love, to make friends, to be inspired by those around you. This will never be like that paradise, a pale comparison at best.
But this is not a fractured shard. You cannot treat it like one.

Actually, no, he may be the worst, but who ever said Emet-Selch had good taste.]
