[Ultimate what now...?!

Resists the urge to drag his hands down his face]

Ultimate Cares-Too-Much-About-the-Fucking-Past.

Wonderful.

[justpure]

... No, actually, that would be a historian.

[Let's make that distinction before we start rolling our eyeballs out of our heads.]

An anthropologist studies new traditions and the way humans adapt to recent changes as well as the past.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Still sounds like you're too preoccupied with what everyone else is doing.

Explains the lack of spine at least.

[justpure]

[Okay, he understands that as an insult, but he'll just ignore that for a moment.]

Nonsense. If I lacked a spine, I wouldn't be able to stand up straight.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just this look.

Medusa.

Medusa, please]

[justpure]

[... He sees you.]

Anyway... Do you know what sort of horror was waiting for those two beyond the entrance door? I wonder what was keeping us from leaving the school if it wasn't simply a locked door.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I don't know about that particular door.

But there was a different door that was just meant to give you the illusion of hope of escaping.

[justpure]

Hm?

[Oh no, he's curious.]

That seems rather cruel... Could you tell me more about it?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There's not much to say.

It was gaudily marked "Exit". And when you tried to traverse the passage, the sheer volume and functionality of the traps laid there prevented you from ever reaching the end.

[justpure]

... [As much as he's tempted to buy a memory to see it for himself, the fact that the memories are randomized isn't worth the cost.]

That seems rather cruel... But it calls to mind some of these more dangerous games I've been hearing about.

[And will find himself playing in two days time. Yay backtags.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Yay backtags]

Yes. With how quiet it's been, one of those must be coming up soon.

...

Especially when the influx of new people.

[justpure]

... Is that the pattern, now...

I will do my best to protect this unit if such a game comes up.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is that how you've decided to play?

[justpure]

[He nods.]

Of course, if it turns out to be a game like the one we have a protection plan in place for... I will be more than happy to extend a hand to whoever the unit has promised to protect. But if it's every man for themselves...
