We were on the elevator and the P for penthouse just showed up. So we pushed it.
[ as one does. ]
But it didn't let us in until Jason went a floor down to get something the shadows had dragged and found one of those hallway doors open. After he went through the whole mess, he said there was some kind of shadow portal, and it let him in there. He opened it for me.
[ cloud sounds annoyed and it is ENTIRELY because jason did all that while leaving him up there ]

Box spiders...
[ he WOULD but he's not going to get that from BOX SPIDERS which he will just take at face value ]
Yeah, we just kind of... wrote an essay... there wasn't really an enemy or anything. Except for the one vampire.
[ ...who presented the essay but he's going to gloss over that because still fuck that guy ]

Uh. Well, it was... when we signed up for the thing, the agreement was that they'd give us this specific wish each of us wanted in return for us being part of it. But then when we got there they said there weren't going to be enough resources to be able grant everyone's wishes or something? So I think some of them were trying to take out the competition or whatever to make sure they got theirs... and then one just panicked because of the other people dying...
No...
But, um, during the second trial, all the dead people suddenly came back out of this tree, and... uh... revenge killed some of the culprits who then also came back a few minutes later...
A-anyway, that was where the essay thing came in, because we all made the argument that the crime of murder didn't apply anymore because the victims weren't dead, and we just wanted the whole stupid thing to end instead of going through with the execution and everything. And they read and listened to our answers and said okay, so... that was that...
[ so yeah, this was why he was trying to make this argument when you stopped being dead... it worked before.... ]
And then everyone got their wishes anyway, I guess? Or... theoretically had the chance to get them, but I think mine is just cursed or something.

Ugh... w-well, it was a few days before my first official trial in court was supposed to happen, so I wanted to just kind of... instantly already have all the courtroom experience I'd need to make sure I did everything perfectly and made my pops proud. ...And then once I was in the thing everyone started killing each other so I had to do the crappy messed up trials there, and I was worrying that maybe my stupid wish had caused the entire thing because that was the courtroom experience I was getting.
Then when it was over they just gave us these... coupons... that we were supposed to somehow be able to redeem for whatever they'd promised us? I don't know how that was supposed to work... but anyway, I was home for three days, and then it was finally going to be time for that trial the next day, so I took the coupon out of the envelope that morning to see if I could figure out what I was supposed to do with it, and then that same day all of this started. So...

Pretty sure it's just a shitty coincidence.
[ is the first thing he says, trying to parse. all of that wish junk. he is trying so hard not to say how lame of a wish that is, help. ]
This why you kept thinking everything you were responsible for making this place worse in the beginning?
