With the stage and the… comedy of errors and the shadows? No. We had some over the top executions, but we didn’t even have to be present to watch it if we didn’t want to be.

[ he misses those days. ]

How were yours run?

Everyone was forced to show up, but it was over and done with pretty quick. Wasn't a lot of fighting back possible the way they were set up.

… That felt like the longest however many minutes of my life.

[ sweet sheila, resident milf. she tried so hard. ]

It’s not any better if people are beating each other to death where we can’t reach them, or having to outrun lava in an assault course but… that was something else to watch.

... Kind of felt more pity for both of them than anything else, in this case...

[ a beat tho ]

How much lava was in that space station?

Enough to kill a woman we voted for incorrectly and enough to mess up her friend.

... Yeah, I guess that explains why I keep hearing about the lava.

Yes, that is probably why you keep hearing about the lava. It was a less than great first trial.

... Can't say ours went so well either, but at least there wasn't lava.

Wilder than an assault course… thing? While being chased by lava?

Nope.

Just a guillotine.

[ hm. ]

Refreshingly tasteless. But definitely quick.

Most of them were both.

[ m...most ]

... Dare I ask about the ones that weren't?

One guy got saved, but he didn't realize that, so he talked for forever about how much everyone else was terrible first.

[ opens mouth.

closes mouth. ]

...

Did he get incorrectly voted for?

No, but it was a self-defense kill.

[ that no one knows was self-caused ]

Must've been quite the awkward return journey after the guy survived.

[ i think of emet-selch's climb of shame at least once a week. ]

He had to climb out of a pit.

[ his laugh surprises even him, and he ends up half coughing. help. ]

Dignified.

Yeah. Kind of wish I'd been around to see it directly. Wasn't our team's turn to deal with the masses.

[ rip ]

You had different overseer teams?

[ ... ]

I imagine it was quite the sight. Especially if the guy was a real straight lace.

There were six of us and a lot of work. It was simpler to have three at a time dealing with the participants.

Spread the workload, work more efficiently. Did it pan out that way?

Maybe if we'd spread the groups differently.

[ team b…. ]

Too many of the same people in one group?
