Good. The more everyone tells each other honestly, the better our chance is of figuring out how to—to fix this. Because the rules of the game are stupid.
But it's—like, at least we know we can't rule out people just because they wouldn't want to normally. [ and despite how shitty that makes the whole situation, she finds it at least a little bit comforting to think that people aren't exactly choosing to do this on their own. ]
... Not necessarily. We could still try and figure out who might have done it based on who they picked. Psychs are a whole thing, but someone weak probably wouldn't choose someone strong. Teammates won't take out teammates. Friends probably won't go after friends...
That would be messed up. I mean, the whole situation is messed up, but... People are gonna be on the same team as their closest friends, aren't they?

Lambda and Guifei weren't. [a beat] Though they weren't friends in the traditional sense... But they still trusted each other more than they did their own teams.

I won't deny that they're stupid, especially when there are so many ways to make people erase each other that don't include forcing their hand.

no subject
Oh, right. [he deserves a spray right now] But it's harder to avoid, now that you can be picked.
no subject
Yeah. It is.

So that means we can skip the part of trial where we talk about 'why', right?
[that saves them time then!!! what a great thing to have happened]

It's still something.

[...because as terrible as d's reasons might be to anyone else, they still made sense considering who he was. speaking of,]

Okay, fine. Sure. Then that could happen, I guess.

[thanks rang]
no subject
[ that's not funny ]
But yeah, I'm—uh, I'm gonna try.
no subject
I guess that's as much as all of us can do.
[granted, he thinks alex should make an insane murder pact with someone just in case but he decides not to bring that up,]
no subject
[ no murder pacts :yell: ]
