I would have assumed the producers would have picked the most sensational memories for the broadcast option.

...

Unless that was it.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Haha, we could speculate on the reasoning behind what memories we get all day, honestly! Maybe they gave me this one as a reward for choosing to downgrade to sharing it, or maybe it's to annoy me because I was hoping for something that gave more context about other things... stuff like that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Context for what? Were you hoping for a clue on why you were kidnapped?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Something like that. For me and Nine both.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Shouldn't he have been somewhere in -- [Vague hand gesture as if he could point to the memory] -- there?

[rollwillpowercheck]

[blinks]

Not necessarily? It’s not like we’re always together here, either.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

How much do you know about Nine-Nine's scheming?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Ah, you mean the fact that he’s working with you to arrange a meeting with the people in charge? Or that “scheming” is basically his default setting?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I knew you were the smart twin.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Thanks... I think.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Take my insulting compliment!]

So what are your thoughts on getting out of here? Hmmm.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Well... from my perspective, we're still in the information-gathering phase. I mean, it's annoying to have to play along for now, but what other choice do we have? We don't know nearly enough about our opponents.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And we won't learn anything more about them by being shy.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Mm, I that’s why I think meeting whoever’s in charge makes sense. Aside from that, we’ll just have to make some feints and see how they react... or something.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What kind of feints?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Something like Bad End's live. Disruptive activities meant to gauge their reactions.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

We'll only get a reaction if we can actually disrupt them.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Well, yeah. Plus it's difficult to plan a surprise when they're probably listening at all times?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

True. So they have to know it's coming and not see it as a threat.

[rollwillpowercheck]

We'll just have to experiment.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Or maybe we should concentrate more on the audience than the producers. They're the ones who can actually make or break a show.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[nods slowly]

I don't think they'll be very sympathetic to us... so then, the logical thing to do would be to just be as boring as possible.

But I think the producers would escalate things if we did that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

They'd do anything for ratings.

But really, you don't think we can appeal to some of the audience that might root for the underdog?

[rollwillpowercheck]

It's possible? But I don't know if that would have much of an effect.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

One more thing to consider in our scatter shot approach. We can't bank on just one thing.
