[Sure, we've got plenty of unit posts, but what about everything that doesn't fit into one of those? Feel like making yourself a snack? Want to have an emotional outburst in the lobby?

Mingle away, folks.]

[sticks his tongue out at King before reaching out to draw a card form the stack in the middle]

It's not like this place affords for an altogether swearing off of excitement, anyway.

[puzzlekeeper]

That's true. [ Understatement, actually. ] I'm hoping we at least get the chance to catch our breath after this last one...

[criminaljustice]

They tend to give us at least one or two games between messy ones like that.

[shifting his cards around in his hand]

That's been the pattern so far, anyway.

[puzzlekeeper]

Yes, I've noticed. Think that means they'll expect us to do more kissing now?

[ Eyeing his hand for a moment, and then, more as an aside than anything: ]

Hand over any Queens.

[criminaljustice]

Or something equally non-violent but can be emotionally confusing for people.

Go fish.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ HMPH. Fishing in the pile and adding a card to his hand. ]

Right now, that sounds almost as bad as the murder.

[criminaljustice]

Doesn't it, though?

It's not even like we're wanting for excitement even outside of the games. Things get pretty crazy between them, too.

--got fives?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He frowns, but pulls two fives out of his hand and tosses them over. ]

How did you team fare in all of that? I only briefly ran into one of them.

[criminaljustice]

They all died at some point or another.

Tatsuya and Phoenix were killed by their boyfriend--literal backstabbing happened.

I don't know what happened to Nine-Nine.

Thorn was riddled with bullet holes and still wanted to fight the person who killed him before he was healed, so I had to knock him out and got him healed.

... he woke up not too happy about that.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ ..... jesus fuckin christ ]

That's....

[criminaljustice]

It's not really that surprising...

[Bad End=Erryone Dead End

upset about the last thing, but doesn't want to be so lol]

[puzzlekeeper]

Maybe not in general, but...

Surely being killed by one's own boyfriend was a surprise, and - why would Thorn refuse healing?

[criminaljustice]

Because he was so pissed with a damaged pride that the idea that he would die refused to take root?

... and it seems like getting killed by our boyfriends is a theme.

[lolololol anyway, sorting his cards in his hand.]

Though... yeah, it's always a nasty shock when it happens.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Guess who missed A-gate. He just deadass sets his own hand down. ]

It's a- what??

[ GET...... BETTER BOYFRIENDS???? ]

[criminaljustice]

[... he. doesn't actually want to... S-SIGH, setting his hand down, rubbing at his eyes.]

A got a memory back. Of shooting me in the head.

[puzzlekeeper]

...

Oh.

[ h-hmmMMM ]

But it wasn't - here, then?

[criminaljustice]

No. Here, there's been a couple of instances of us killing each other, but we weren't exactly sane at the time...

[puzzlekeeper]

I see.

I guess... that's a little different, then, from being betrayed in a game like that. At least, I assume. You're probably the only one who can really decide.

[criminaljustice]

If he pulled something like that in a game like that... I don't think I'd respond well.

But I think... we're at the point where if we can help it, we don't want to do that to each other.

Wish other Bad Ender boyfriends would get on the same page with that.

[Displeased, actually, with Crow]

[puzzlekeeper]

... You know... I'm glad to hear that that's a boundary you have, at least.

[ Sometimes he wonders in this place... ]

[criminaljustice]

Well, there's no telling when they'll take away sanity again--so as long as it's not while he's sane...

[kind of shrugs a bit]

But yeah, boundaries are good to have, contrary to popular belief.

[puzzlekeeper]

Not going to argue with your teammates over adopting the same?

[criminaljustice]

They know how I feel about it.

... but it's their decision to make. I can't really force them.

[puzzlekeeper]

... I see.

[ He picks up his hand again. WHEW. ]

It sounds like you've done what you can do, in that case.

[criminaljustice]

Mm, basically. Though I wasn't at the game, so I don't even know how much I can even do about things from it.
