AVANTE EN GARDE

This room is not real.

That's the first thought that crosses your mind as soon as your consciousness comes back up. You're not even sure if that's your own thought, but the feeling doesn't leave no matter how much time has passed. The room looks nice and cozy, but everything feels wrong. You don't belong here, you're you, aren't you?

Aren't you?

You'll soon notice that there are other things that just isn't right. You can talk, but is your mouth moving? You can see, but are your eyes blinking? You also have ball joints. Nothing hurts, and you're fine, but it's a little weird.

We're not. We're not killing them. We're protecting ourselves from them.

[She pauses, then adds, sounding defensive and oddly pointed:]

I'm not going to feel bad for protecting myself.

You can feel however you want. In fact, everything'd be better if everybody just played to take care of themselves.

But us playing to protect people we more-or-less care about ain't any different than them playing to protect people they more-or-less care about. It's shitty all around is what I'm getting at.

I never said I didn't. But at least I don't go around telling them I made my choice based on what was deserved. Like somehow trying to protect themselves and the people they favour is "right", but when anyone else does it, it's "wrong".

[She nods, no argument to this]

...Wonder if we could just sacrifice a whole person. Like--their well-being, and then nobody can take that away...right?

Re: DISCUSSION

What, like––one of us?

I don't know if they'd let us. . .

Re: DISCUSSION

Yeah... Might wanna do something less than that at first, I guess. Depending on how the game interprets it...
