Yes. There's a lot of us from those kinds of situations, huh?

[preowned]

Yeah... although I think Jason is the only one from his?

[ashenvaliant]

Apparently. Nothing other people have described has sounded quite like his set up.

[preowned]

No... even at the camp there were a few places that were somewhat different than the others, but none as much as his.

[ashenvaliant]

It's less a slight alteration of what we expect and more ... something completely different to the point it's only the theme of dying that really seems to link it.

[ disturbing. ]

[preowned]

But it was still enough to bring him here, too...

Well, it's something to keep in mind.

[ashenvaliant]

Mm. We'd all be thrown off balance if this place ran according to the rules of his island.

[preowned]

Well, possibly not? The amount of days is already off.

[ashenvaliant]

Not the little details, I mean the pattern of deaths. Daily? That’d be a big enough change for everyone.

[preowned]

No, I meant that his only lasted five days total. The fact that any deaths haven't happened at all yet would be already a giant change.

[ashenvaliant]

That explains the frequency of the killing. Given it’s pretty quiet right now, I’d hazard a guess it’s going to be following the weekly pattern.

[preowned]

It would be a lot simpler if it was less than a week though...

[ashenvaliant]

But also exhausting and very, very messy.

[preowned]

Yes... emotions would run very high.

[ashenvaliant]

I feel like they run high enough when we have a week to come down from them each time. No come down period sounds… like a lot. Even if it is over quicker.

[preowned]

Right...

And even if they do come with their own issues, I think people appreciate the times between kills a lot.

[ashenvaliant]

Rather bizarre way to discuss the sprint or long distance march approach, but sadly if the shoe fits…

Unending loss and emotional highs and lows wears you down a lot faster. That’s just factual.

[preowned]

I wonder if there's a specific reason for why so many have similar lengths in time with the few odd ones out.

[ashenvaliant]

If you want to get really paranoid, it could be one person planning and tweaking these things over time and then outsourcing them as and when they're needed or "required" according to some parameters that only make sense to them.

...

[ haha. ]

Or maybe it's just random luck and chance.

[preowned]

Well. Let's go with luck and chance for now, and explore the former at another time.

[ashenvaliant]

[ (tsuru voice) now we don’t have time to unpack that. ]

Valid of you.

[preowned]

We have to get ourselves out of this mess before we start tackling something so large.

[ashenvaliant]

I guess we'll have an idea of how big the mess is going to be by next weekend.

[ haha ]

[preowned]

At least... everyone is at least somewhat experienced, even if the experience comes from different forms. We'll just have to put it all together.
