[ clouds grip on reality is not great to begin with. so he walks go the exit and reaches out to open it agonizingly slowly......

it's...

not a hallway. ]

... Wanna get out of here and pretend this never happened?

[preowned]

Yes.

[ he looks back at the door and just. closes it. ]

Should I give you three apples?

[skyagain]

... At least make one an orange. Spice it up a little.

[ he's too tired to keep arguing that apples are a terrible reward ]

[preowned]

It's a deal.

[ he holds his hand out to shake. there is blood on it,

he switches hands. ]

[skyagain]

[ looks at tsuru's bloody hand

looks at his own bloody one ]

Maybe we should clean up first.

[preowned]

Probably...

[ he looks at their hands. ]

They're probably not infected.

[skyagain]

... Maybe. [ they don't know what the fuck that snake had. it looked like rabies. and also, a little person inside. ] Either way, best not to walk around with blood all over the murder hotel.

[preowned]

No, it's not a good start.

[ well time to go to the nearest fuckin sink i guess ]

[skyagain]

[ off they go to the public bathroom!! ]

It's one way to be the first voted out for something stupid.

[ he is thinking... of... kano... and bucky... ]

[preowned]

Yes, like rocks...

[ rip ]

[skyagain]

.......

Rocks?

[ all i see is rocks for forever ]

[preowned]

Well, when I died a rock was involved, and then in the execution they had to... I believe rocks were involved somehow? Anyway, it was a sensitive topic but then the rocks ended up in the camp's gift shop. And this one man named Guy bought the rocks and set up a strange display with them that people hated.

He got voted for the following trial.

[skyagain]

... Yeah, I can see people not liking art made out of murder rocks.

[ yikes. ]

When people start scrambling, that's usually when fingers get pointed wildly.

That group was extremely bad at catching killers. Just... very talentless...

But it might be better this time.

[skyagain]

... Aren't there a few of you from that place?

[preowned]

[ he can't say that flayn and shinobu were killers, so he just nods. ]

But there are enough that weren't.

[skyagain]

[ he can and it'd be funny, but cloud just kind of. hums. ]

... Depends if any of the other places were any better. I think the Realm was about half and half on it.

[ they scapegoated twice and also a few time caught people deliberately because it was the only way to skip killing them. it was a whole adventure.

bucky is not going to be the one helping catch killers. ]

[preowned]

... we'll see. The trials at the camp were very different than the ones at the village, so we'll see what happens.

[ possession was somehow easier to deal with. ]

[skyagain]

The village was your first, right? Got a better track record there?

[ he has no idea tsuru was double tutorial ]

[preowned]

There were a few missed, but overall yes.

[ it's too embarrassing to admit he died in both it's fine ]

[skyagain]

Doesn't say anything good if people got worst their second time around.

[preowned]

Well, the thing about the camp is that there was a whole group of people actively covering for each other. While at the village, we needed to make sure everyone who killed got caught no matter what.

[skyagain]

... Why were they covering for each other?

[ people needing to get caught is a lot more normal, honestly. cloud says this directly responsible for someone else biting it for ange. but it was emet so it's fine. ]

[preowned]

They just did not want to get caught. There were a few different groups of two that were tasked to kill, and eventually they all found each other.

[skyagain]

Why'd they have to kill? Win condition?

[ sometimes you just. accept this. ]
