... You worried about the staff that much, huh?

[ashenvaliant]

I don’t really need to explain the whole “sometimes they’re in worse positions than us” thing to you of all people, right?

[ a small half smile and a shrug. ]

[skyagain]

... No, you don't. And I'm sure they are. But I'm not worried about a betrayal. So long as we keep their limitations in mind, anyway.

[ he thinks so? at least? sometimes you work with people who can only help you 10% because their hands are tied in hell. this is the same thing ]

[ashenvaliant]

Betrayal's not the thing I'm concerned about, I'm just aware it can be a lot of the people behind the scenes as well. And while we are at risk, we can be as open or not with the people around us as we choose.

They are confined to each other, at best. If they can even admit that much.

[skyagain]

... I'm not sure how open they can be with each other, either. Boss is always listening, right?

[ashenvaliant]

Makes it worse, right?

[skyagain]

... Yeah. But there's not much for us to do about it, is there?

[ashenvaliant]

No, there isn't. Frustratingly.

[skyagain]

... At least not yet, anyway. Only thing we can do for now is keep going and try to find one.

[ashenvaliant]

Sooner rather than later, I'd hope. We're... at the average half way point, aren't we?

[skyagain]

... Not just the average. We know it'll last eight weeks for sure, with our contracts.

[ WHICH HE HATES KNOWING THE PASSAGE OF TIME IS CRUEL ]

[ashenvaliant]

It feels like longer. Significantly longer.

[skyagain]

Feels too quick, too.

[ they are halfway through and what do they have to show for it. more bodies!!! ]

[ashenvaliant]

It's a paradox. And not something we have much influence over.

[ he sighs. ]

Not much in the way of hints either, but there's a high chance I'm missing something anyway.

[skyagain]

...I think there's a lot we're missing right now, for sure. Haven't exactly gotten a lot of info from adventures, either.

[ashenvaliant]

Right. Normally there'd be some snippets of information to gather there, no?

[skyagain]

Yeah. Instead we got a hangman.

[ashenvaliant]

[ he just wrinkles his nose. ]

Terrible. I get they're hiding their secrets, but-- come on.

[skyagain]

You think that thing's actually holding a secret?

[ashenvaliant]

I don't know much about anything right now, so I'm willing to entain any possibilities.

[skyagain]

[ becks go the fuck to bed ]

If it is, I doubt the word is what's important on it. Nothing really fits.

[ashenvaliant]

[ >:O ]

Then what's the point of it... hangman's meant to be the word finding game, no? If the words aren't it, then what is?

[skyagain]

Not sure. But even the message on that hangman had someone else objecting that it wasn't a word.

[ashenvaliant]

[ he looks tired. ]

There's got to be more than just hangman and death.

[skyagain]

You're gonna be thrilled to hear that that "no showers" list was also originally one of those adventure rewards.
