That would be a terrible first round, and totally boring.

[ flat sighs! ]

In the movies, the betrayer always waits until the climax to actually turn and betray.

[sicklysweet]

[He's only seen (half of) one movie before, and he didn't see the appeal, so he has no idea what Flat's talking about.]

Is that your plan? To be upfront about everything until the final round?

[escardos]

Of course.

[ he says this like it's obvious. why isn't it obvious? ]

Communication is the pillar of any society. The clearer humans communicate, the better they cooperate.

[sicklysweet]

Well, half of our team isn't human so I think you'll have to forgive us for not being clued in on human society.

[hm.]

Honestly, I don't know that any of the other teams will take you at face value. But being upfront might be interesting...

[It certainly might be disarming.]

[escardos]

Any society should be built on honest communication, not just human society. Though, to be quite honest, humans themselves are rather poor at it!

[ there's a twinkle in his eyes there for a second, though it disappears quickly as flat looks away with a sheepish smile. ]

Well, that's no good. I really don't have any reason to betray them right now. If they want to betray us, then I'd accept that, too.

[imitationsoul]

I doubt Shin would betray us - and for what it's worth, he has physical strength to hold others back from choosing betray without his consent.

[sicklysweet]

It happens when people put their own interests first - or let their decisions be clouded by their prejudice, their fears... Hearts are a tricky thing and people let them get in the way of their thinking, which then makes things not go as smoothly as they should.

[Anyways.]

I'm not sure I'd accept a betrayal so easily, but I don't really care about the outcome of this. We'll get out of here, or we won't.

[escardos]

I guess I just don't understand any of that.

[ flat laughs, shrugging it off. ]

No, we absolutely will leave. Even if all of us simply sat down and took every hit, I think she would just make us forfeit or something like that.

[sicklysweet]

I'm not sure many people do before their first century is over.

[Hmm.]

Forfeiting sounds even worse than playing along, so let's not do that.
