ALCHEME

You and your team find yourself chilling inside of an elevator!

There aren't chairs or anything to sit on, sorry about that. I mean, it's an elevator okay, not a fancy restaurant, geez.

However, enjoy the elevator music. Sometimes it gets interrupted by another song (OOC: but really, that's for my own satisfaction so you can choose to ignore it..

Are we seriously supposed to throw some guy to the wolves because they weren't selfish or fell in love or whatever the fuck all this bullshit is?

[ CROSSING ITEMS OFF:

~~I deserve to graduate more than all these other people graduating and that's a shitty thing to think.~~
~~I Failed to save a child in the apocalypse.~~
~~I had to seal and banish so many of my friends/allies/enemies.~~
~~I bullied/spoken down to my friend from home for selfish reasons and because I followed the example of the adults.~~
~~I secretly wished my family member were still around even knowing what it would mean for them if they were.~~

Guys, this one sucks.

Yeaahhh....are we okay with only going with three?

So many of these are like 'I couldn't save a loved one from something entirely out of my control, and that's MY FAULT'... frankly, that kind of thinking annoys me. I don't want to reinforce it.

Look sometimes it just like that.

As a professional hero I GET IT, but also, cut it out, kiddos.

Babies can have emotional issues too, DAD.

Absolutely not. You can have emotional issues in your 20s like the rest of us.

If people don't want us to have emotional issues now they should stop DYING

For sure.

Speaking of dying, I don't think any of them have been me in this round or last, unless it's so warped I can't recognize the phrasing. So I volunteer to drag us home.

Thank you.

...I'm going to get voted for my graduation one just because its not as pathetic or noble as everyone else aren't I.

I don't want to reinforce it either.

... Man, we're in such a shit position.

No matter what we don't look good here.

I think we can toss 'winning' out, unless we believe in miracles or the cruelty in our hearts. ... I guess the next best thing is trying to play so that the rest of us don't get punished as severely, but...

[ He gestures at the list like, look at this shit. What are we supposed to do with this. ]

Yeah. I think the only real way we can balance our consciences is like... 'if we're on the fence, vote yes'?

I don't want B to get screwed over just 'cause he had some really shitty feelings. ... But I don't really want to do anything you guys don't think you can live with either.

I mean, it's up to B, but I don't think B would love it if we dropped the hammer on a bunch of people guilty about not being selfish or falling in love or whatever to save him...

[ He's making this face like he wants to say "but B is already deep in the self-hatred pit and I don't want to add to that" but, well. That's also the problem with this list. ]

What I wouldn't give for self-esteem to improve all around.

Christ, is it even worth trying to pull this one back at this point? Chances are we're fucked anyway 'cause we didn't go feral right out the gate. All we'd be doing is picking who we drag down with us.

I mean...

[ shrug ]

We gotta assume Baritones won't stop going 'fuck everybody'.

They probably won't, but because they won't, us matching them vote for vote isn't gonna get us significantly further ahead.

So fuck this, then.

If we ain't gonna pull off a win whatever we do, what's the point going for everyone else's throats?

The way I see it, especially if other units keep at it or change their mind on playing light, we'd have to go full 'salt the earth' if we want to win. I'm pretty sure none of us are interested in going that direction.

The next best thing we can do is...we aim for seven for this round, and-or whenever me and W's 'sins' get put up so at least some of us won't get punished as badly. Easier said than done, obviously.

We shoulda seen Baritones coming at least. When has that shower of bastards ever cared about anything but their own hides? Even if they vote on 'emselves, it won't matter if they score high enough. Right?

Christ. I don't wanna just fold. You guys don't deserve that. Trouble is, we're fucked.
