round three

[escardos]

[ with no hesitation: ]

So betrayal, right?

[sicklysweet]

Sure. Why not?

[totaltrashfire]

Those guys are pretty banged up though, and our luck's been good so far!

[escardos]

Yep, I agree! So we're betraying, right?

[totaltrashfire]

I didn't say that!

[escardos]

It's okay!

[ he smiles brightly, as if he weren't trying to throw team a into the metaphorical pit ]

If you're upset, you can just apologize to them later with me.

[totaltrashfire]

I hope you at least look a little sad when you give it.

[If he's going to be all smiley then if team a is self-respecting they won't accept!]

[escardos]

Hm?

[ ??? ]

I thought a smile could cheer up anyone's mood.

[totaltrashfire]

Have you ever apologized for anything, and did it go well?

[She knows she doesn't apologize for a lot either but it's why she has a reputation as an asshole.]

[imitationsoul]

I agree. If this works out, we'll automatically exit the game without even having to rely on luck.

Also I would absolutely loathe to get out of this solely via being complacent and nice. I am, after all, decidedly not improving as a person.

[escardos]

Is it really improving if you're doing it just to pass a game, though?

[imitationsoul]

Well, if we pass entirely by allying every single time when we play into the moral this game is doubtlessly meant to have: that cooperation is better, even defeating the short term desire for success at the cost of others.

Personally, I'd much rather have our end moral be that we are only out for ourselves.

[escardos]

Huh...I didn't think about it like that...

[ but she does bring a good point, when he looks at it that way. ]

But it does make sense! Either way, after that, I'll just give team A a heartfelt apology!

[ he does not sound apologetic at all ]

[imitationsoul]

I am very curious to see how that will go over.

[ Miach meanwhile is absolutely not going to apologize for jack shit... ]

[sicklysweet]

There's no way of knowing our luck will continue to hold up. Or that they won't decide to betray us.

[considering, you know. hien.]

[escardos]

Correct! We're the least injured and they're coming for us. Even if we both betray and get hurt, that means that they will be even more hurt than we would be.

[sicklysweet]

It's a fair point. We can handle whatever happens better than anyone else here.

[totaltrashfire]

[Okay Hien is a real consideration here... But gross she doesn't want to agree with Owen.]

Fai's cool. So maybe not.

[sicklysweet]

I think Hien might be able to convince him... and there's also the other two who might want to stop us before we win.

[totaltrashfire]

Augh!

[She agrees but she also doesn't want to vocally say so when it's Owen so that's what you get.]

[sicklysweet]

[HEHEHEHEHEHE]

[totalcatastrophe]

Their whining is gonna be a real pain in the ass later.

[imitationsoul]

Frankly, nobody who has talked to either me or Owen should be surprised by this.

It's rather their own fault.

[escardos]

So we'll apologize! And who knows, maybe they'll try to betray, too.

[totaltrashfire]

[Mae's pretty sure Luci just doesn't want to betray...





But she won't rat him out.]
