WEEK ONE: SATURDAY, POST-TRIAL

[parodeity]

[ so sometime after the trial, clementine gets a dave. he waves, hurries over, and asks: ]

So. Any roles on the list that looked good to you? Because if not, or if you don't, like, have your heart set on one...I think I have one you should snag, and I think I may have a plan, for like. The four of us. Uh, you me Clem and Vi. To make a team and actually figure shit the hell out? If you are into that still.

[ like. someone just got condemned to death wrongly because they did not know enough. so dave's voice is firm, even though this is an offer, not a demand. ]

I want to meet up tomorrow with all of us if you're into the idea still, but I also wanted to talk to you about it first.

Okay. That makes sense. [ Clementine agrees that roles are absurd. ]

... Kind of.

[ well, despite the kind of, she's still feeling pretty confident in this plan. it's nice to have a course to follow, and her shoulders relax a bit. ]

... Do you think what we find in those rooms will help to overcome the rules? Or just get through them? [ because. their group is already 4-5 people. and only 3 people can survive, according to the rules. ]

[parodeity]

I don't know. I hope so. [ but he shrugs. ] If it comes to that, you and Ems and Vi take priority if you want and that's chill with me, but I think...from what I do know, I think there's somethin' weird about this. Like, beyond the obvious. Ems can share what she knows, and I'll share what I know, and...I think gatherin' information might actually help us overcome the rules more than just tryin' to catch killers will do.

[ it's something he wants to focus on. ]

I don't want to just accept the rules and sit back and let it happen. Not sayin' we outright break them stupidly, but right now? Gatherin' info is well within the rules and we can maybe figure shit out with it.

[willremember]

That's not... [ the whole 'you take priority' thing doesn't sit well with her. she's not big on dying either, but.

ugh. she'll deal with that later. ]

I just don't think they would give you a role that helps you get out of the game they made. You know? I still want to try, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

[parodeity]

[ SORRY EMILY HE WAS RAISED TO HAVE absolutely no sense of self-esteem. time players are used to throwing their lives away, and dave...does that. for other people. all the time.

dirk and violet will probably back her up on this being stupid as hell. ]

Yeah, I know. I want to try to, rather than just... [ ... ] Sit around waitin' for the other shoe to drop, I guess. I'd rather go out doin' something useful than nothin' at all. As long as there's a chance [ and even if there weren't one ] I'll keep goin'.
