week 1, saturday

[ninjay]

[ so. sometime after the trial ends, jay will be heading back to his own room, probably to internally shriek over how much of a terrible time this was for all.

mayhaps... he runs into a familiar face, while walking in that direction? hmmMMM? ]

Comments

[ninjay]

Kill 39 people, probably.

[ it's a joke ]

[pinesfortruth]

[JUST THIS FACE]

Boo. Booooooooo. Bad taste. That was-- that was in bad taste, man.

[ninjay]

[ ok but he's not wrong ]

Fine, my apologies.

[pinesfortruth]

Also, it'd be less than 39, since three people can live and two will already be--

[...zips up]

But the math isn't the issue.

[ninjay]

[ SQUINTS SUSPICIOUSLY

he does not ask though, at least. ]

Preferably we could get more survivors than that.

[pinesfortruth]

[the 2 was because hana is on death row shh his math nerdiness isnt suspicious]

Maybe we can shoot for at least 30? Is that too high? Too optimistic? What's a good number to hope for, here.

[ninjay]

Probably. But I really am hoping that we can find some other way to beat this game.

[pinesfortruth]

There's gotta be some kind of loophole somewhere, or some kind of portal leading to a way out or something. That's how these things usually work.

[ninjay]

I feel like we should investigate the trapdoor, but at the same time...

[ look, going into the room is bad enough. that door would probably lead to DEATH or something?? that much is obvious, but it's hard to ignore the fact that it's there. ]

[pinesfortruth]

I tried already? It didn't ... really work out.

[???]

[ninjay]

You-- [ honestly, he's not even surprised.

jay quietly counts to five in his head before speaking again. ]

Can you tell me what happened?

[pinesfortruth]

It. Um. Weeeell. It... wasn't there?

[ninjay]

The... door?

[ DIPPER?????? ]

[pinesfortruth]

Look, dude, you'll just have to take my word that the trapdoor is there and exists, even though if you go looking for it you'll never see it or be able to touch it. It's either a distance thing or a magic thing or both. I'm not sure.

[ninjay]

[ uh......... huh...... ]

When you go in there, it's like you're being watched, correct?

[pinesfortruth]

Right. That's probably why you can't see it when you're in there.

[ninjay]

So, let's say that whatever creature that's in there comes through that trapdoor.

... Where does that door lead? Do you think there might be another way in?

[pinesfortruth]

[...sighs]

I don't know. Probably? I'm going to try to look into it, but. There's locked buildings and rooms all over the place. It could be pretty much anywhere.

[ninjay]

And for all we know, even if it does lead somewhere else, it might not be any of those places either.

[ jay misses when his only problem here was not knowing who the hell lovecraft is ]

Oh well. It wouldn't make sense for us to have too many answers only a week in.

[pinesfortruth]

True, but you can't deny they'd be nice to have.

[this place sucks? it sucks. anyway]

Well, whatever. Thanks for the talk, Jay. And the deal.

[ninjay]

[ he nods his head. ]

I'll talk to you another time then.
