PEACE WEEKEND

[It's your first week here, and you've been offered a fantastic prize for killing someone: an all-expense paid vacation! It's a pretty standard prize as far as reality game shows go.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), this isn't exactly a game show.

It seems that no one has died this weekend, and the deadline for the prize is now expired. There's no announcement from the Overseers to that effect; in fact, none of you have seen either of them since Tuesday. Maybe they'll make a reappearance soon, but for now, it seems that you've got a moment of peace.

Hopefully nothing happens to it.]

And the better the chance that we will all be able to escape this place unscathed.

[He needs to believe that - that they'll all manage to get out of this alive and well.]

But if you don't mind my saying so, you're very composed about this, Ms. Miki. It's... reassuring.

[Does she? It's... it's an absolute lie if she does, she's scared most of the time.]

... if we panic then we don't get anything done. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do or say, but... if we know what they want from us then maybe we know how to go about not giving them what they want.

[Fake it 'til you make it!! or something??

But he gives her a sympathetic look.]


If we continue to resist them like this, do you think they'll bore of us?

[That's the plan!]

... That might not be a good thing, though. If we bore them, what if they just decide to get rid of us?

[They're rats in a cage in space here. How are they supposed to survive if the people keeping them there decide that mass execution is the only way to go?]
batfortheprincess: (♦ is there no other choice?)

W-well... [He can't deny it and honestly he has worse things in mind too, so...]

I wonder if the rules would still apply then, in that case.

I think if the people in charge decide to get rid of us, then they can just [screw] ignore the rules.

Oh, I meant on our end. If they decide to discard them, I was thinking we may be able to act without impunity for a short time.

[Which would be the best case scenario if they're careless enough but.]

So... that's a goal then? Wear them down to a point that they have to discard the rules...?

[But what would they have to do to get them that desperate...]
