[Signups Here]

Medusa

[irregular]

Yeah...

[Hey, it'll be a talking point! Let's start another tier.

[Carefully.]

It's gotta be hard to cover absolutely everything. You're better off just bribing the cops. And not doing anything stupid like using a gun. Might as well just leave your business card as that, right?

[You know.

[Hypothetically.]

[justpure]

[Three tiers... He wonders if it would fall...]

True... But what crime are we discussing here? Murder? Robbery?

[irregular]

You know, I think robbery's almost trickier, because you gotta make sure you don't get caught with the stuff afterward? Or that they can't just trace it back to you if you sell it. All you gotta do with murder...

[Places another card~]

...is make sure nobody knows it was you.

[justpure]

Of course.

[Helps with the cards. At this point he has stopped caring about the good ones and is just helping with the card tower.]

Maybe a locked room setup might work...

[irregular]

So long as it doesn't overcomplicate things. As long as they don't know it was you who did it, you're good.

[This is a good plan. Let's see how high we can make this thing before it falls over or they take our toys away.]

I think it's gotta be really hard to trace a bladed weapon if you take it away with you afterwards. Sure, they can probably say what kind it was, but it doesn't mean anything if they can't find it.

[justpure]

And make sure it's clean... Along with the place you cleaned the blade in...

[He concentrates as he sets up yet another two cards...]

... What if you bandage the wounds so there isn't as much blood to clean up?

Anubis

[irregular]

Yeah, that's serious do you want to wear my skin sort of territory. You know there's one of these cards asks exactly how you define stalking?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Yikes... I think the normal cards actually make those ones more off-putting. If there's a chance you could end up with "what's your favorite animal" then "how do you define stalking" seems worse by comparison... or something like that?

[irregular]

What I wanna know is exactly who they think is gonna sit there and ask all these things. It's like hi, sit down, have you ever tied somebody up... I mean, who the hell is gonna open on a line like that?

[rollwillpowercheck]

I can think of a few people who would.

[irregular]

... actually, yeah.

Maybe it's more like nobody should.

[rollwillpowercheck]

At least not with people they don't already know really well, yeah. So simplifying it to "just don't" is probably for the best.

Camellia

[irregular]

Still, I gotta wonder why I'm not on Wild City, though. I mean, my profile just goes on about cats for a bit and they went with 'anime wizard'. Go figure, I guess.

Amaranth

[irregular]

You know I'm not sure...? I keep kinda coming back to I have to be because you're not meant to get to Hell any other way, but everyone keeps telling me I'm assuming things. I guess it just makes the most sense to me?

Re: Amaranth

[worthathousand]

(( note for my own reference: from here ))

If anyone here actually remembers having died, they have not confessed as much to me. [ her tone is sympathetic, though ]
Of course, I... [ voice catching very subtly ] ...imagine it would be an extraordinarily personal thing.

But, ah, if it is any consolation, where I come from, hell and the underworld aren't connected in the least. So, ah, I don't think there is reason to give up striving to escape this place.

Re: Amaranth

[irregular]

They aren't? I--

[Okay, wait. How is he supposed to put this?

[K hesitates. No, maybe there's not a lot he knows about himself, but he knows how he thinks the world works: he also knows that, back home, it took a bit of explaining.]

You know, I was gonna say 'where I come from', but it's not? I think this is kind of a me thing. But... I've always believed that Hell is real... and you only end up there for a damn good reason, and once you're there that's it. And - that sort of makes sense?

It's the rest of you are throwing it all off.

Re: Amaranth

[worthathousand]

[ a faint smile; gentle but not precisely happy ]

...Doesn't that make it more likely that you are the mistaken one?

Hell is a kingdom of demons, and for all the differences in worlds, nothing I have seen here has lead me to believe that—surrounded as we are by captive heroes and gods—anything here is for good reason.

Re: Amaranth

[irregular]

... I dunno? Probably. I - just believe it. Or I feel like I ought to.

[K's not even really sure why: just that he's saddled with a belief system he can't really explain, one which doesn't want to make sense in the face of how he lives now, and yet he can't quite seem to let go of.]

I - guess I just... saw some stuff about me that - made me fit right in. But I can't square any of it with a guy like B.

Re: Amaranth

[worthathousand]

[ gently ] ...Your memories have caused you pain or regret, I take it?

Silence/Song

[irregular]

Oh, crap. Sorry... yeah. It's 'letters'. Mine's K. Mostly because that's where we were up to?

[resonantblue]

What will you guys do when you run out of letters?

[irregular]

I have absolutely no idea. Might have to be numbers. Or emoji. Christ, I hope it's not emoji.

[resonantblue]

What if someone doesn't want to be a letter, or a number, or an... emoji? What even is that!

[irregular]

You know those smiley faces people on the BBS? Like that, only more annoying.

But I don't think anyone'd actually mind if someone didn't want to be a letter. It's... just kinda a team thing at this point. I guess I cared more about that than making up some name I'd probably only wanna change after a week.
