FUTURE IS NOW

You find yourself in a room like this.

It's a simple theater room with a giant colorful couch for everyone to sit or lie on if they so choose, and on the screen, you'll find a screen with twenty clones of a single, sexy assistant holding boxes, each box being labelled 01-20.

Also by sexy, I mean she's wearing stained sweatpants, crocs that are like 10 years old, and then this shirt. She looks grumpy and put-out, almost like she doesn't wanna be here.

There's also a remote that has the numbers 01-20 for you to press, and also buttons "DEAL" and "NO DEAL".

Oh yeah, and popcorn and soda!

Huh.

[Well. Guess we're doing this.]

...That girl looks a little like the host, hmm?

[He doesn't know all these weird hell affiliates.]

Looks like it.

You get the rules for this one?

Somewhat. It seems to be another one based mostly on random chance before forcing us to think we have some way out if we just pick right.

There's usually some idea of what's left in the case we picked based off what's eliminated. So we could know whether it's a good idea to deal.

But yeah, it's all random.

So, get your ideas on what you don't wanna deal with.

[He sighs heavily, looking at the board.]

Everything from 5 on. Can I submit that?

...Plants, parasites, body destruction. And--whatever might have to do with being melted again.

I think we're on the same page, even if everything from 5's prolly unrealistic.

[oh... are we all trickling in here...]

Oh, Jason.

Hey, Duality.

Got any thoughts on what you absolutely don't wanna deal with?

At this point, I think I've been through it all. But mm... burns. And things that has to do with my neck or throat.

No burns, and no neck or throat.

Seems reasonable.

I'll pass on skin melting again, and no killing ourselves.

Yeah, that's reasonable too.

[ well fuck ]

At least we're not passing punishments onto other teams this time.

[ literally the only saving grace here ]

...That's the one mercy.

[He sighs.]

The next step is making sure we don't blame ourselves or each other for whatever we end up with. Though I'm glad to say that I don't think blaming each other is very likely to happen with us...

Whatever we get is no one's fault but the game runner's. Blaming each other would just be more entertaining for them.

[Nods!!! Arya gets it!!]

Indeed. I don't want to give them any additional satisfaction. We can just finish this game and go back to deal with it as best we can.

Yeah, let's just focus on the not dying part for now.

[ she really, really, really doesn't want to die again. ]

...Yeah. And not melting, too.

[Stares off into the distance. Shit's been bad.]

We... still seem to have the "death box" left, but personally I am glad body destruction has been ruled out. With luck, we'll be able to eliminate death in the next round... Or maybe we will be offered a deal that is safe to take.
