[ there's some asshole with his hands cupped around his mouth asking you, the general public, anyone in earshot, some very important questions ]

Hello~ excuse me~. I have two questions.

One, does anyone want to play hide and seek?

Two, can we do a poll by age and guess the likelihood that most adults have been murdered and the next ones to get picked off are probably the oldest? Thanks~

But that's dumb. I mean, why go to all the trouble?

We're supposed to be idols, right? Maybe the audience is just younger, so most of us are younger, too.

You could just as easily say they vote to off the least popular character, and the losers skew towards adults. There's no provable argument here.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Right? So why are we even worrying about it?

[He's worrying about it.]

[fiberoptic]

I'm not worried.

I'm choosin' to believe this asinine theory's complete horseshit. I'm pissed because there's no way we can actually say for sure.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Yeah, that is... pretty much accurate.]

[Give him a second, he actually doesn't know what to say to that.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Then, after a beat of silence:]

So we'll find out. We'll figure out a way and find out.

[fiberoptic]

Good attitude. The more we know, the less power they have over us.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess we grill em next time we get a chance?

[fiberoptic]

Yeah, but we probably won't get any straight answers from'em. They know they hold all the cards.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...I got a name, at that last game.

[fiberoptic]

...Yeah?

[Consider his interest piqued.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Azzy. She said he had game-makers, and whatever was coming up would be coming from them.

[fiberoptic]

...So you think this 'Azzy' is behind all of this?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sounded like it.
