[wait a minute, calling out to him (and came from here]

Mars!

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

[stopping dead in his tracks and spinning around to face him, tense and immediately on guard. his hand flies to the hilt of his rapier]

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

[already dropped his axe when he called out but hands are up, also has blood on his clothes]

Were you here before? In this game?

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

[. . . relaxes, but only minutely, hand dropping away from his weapon. he is also bloodied and his clothes are full of stab wounds. he has a bandaged injury around his abdomen]

Yeah. I was. Two rounds before this. What the hell happened to you?

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

I don't know. Dolls had an axe to grind with me.

Those two rounds, you lived?

1/2

[foolmetwice]

[uh]

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

[TRYING NOT TO LOOK AWKWARD]

First round I got killed by a bunch of dolls, too. . . I lived through the second round.

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

[not going to comment yet but there is a small eyebrow raise]

Do you know who killed you in the first one? And did you find out who won in the second one?

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

[stares. . . at him. . . for a very, very long moment]

No, and no.

[bald faced lie on the first one]

I don't think there's "one ultimate winner" for each round, because I know more than one person survived the second.

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

I know there isn't. Trying to see how this all figures. Did you kill in the second round? And I know it was Wild City in the first. It's fine.

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

. . . [not answering the second question, but]

What makes you say it was Wild City?

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

Because I was stabbed with dolls. Kind of like you were stabbed with dolls.

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

. . .

Wow, how uncanny! What a funny coincidence!

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

It's fine. This, I mean.

[gestures at himself]

Did you kill in the second round?

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

[grumbling to himself-- I wasn't even aiming for you-- before he takes a deep breath and tilts his chin up and narrows his gaze at John]

Why does it matter? What are you going to do with my answer?

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

No idea. Trying to track who has a win, at least.

[said with the helplessness of someone who really doesn't know what they're doing]

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

[eyeing him critically and warily, like a cat with hackles raised and muscled coiled, ready to flee]

[. . .]

Some people might use my answer as an excuse to attack me. But I can fight.

It was self-defense.

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

[shaking his head]

I'm not going to tell anyone. [sighs, groans] Okay . . . Okay, that's all I needed.

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

. . . what do you plan on doing?

[despite having wished for Will to be stabbed ON ACCIDENT), Mars isn't attacking first on this one]

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

[faint, tired]

See what everyone else recalls.

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

Why? Just to track who may or may not be winning?

[his features morph from defensive to curious]

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

Yeah. There are a few more rounds coming.

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

Yeah. Probably.

[three rounds and counting, sheesh]

You should tell your teammate that I'm gonna punch him in the face for the doll thing, by the way.

[you don't even know which WC it was, Mars]

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[theyregooddogs]

Please. Any one of them deserve it.

[alright, going to head left since mars was going right]

Re: THE LABYRINTH

[foolmetwice]

[LAUGHS. . . and to the right he goes!]
