PEACE WEEKEND

[airlockedmods]

[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.]

Yes. Or just be careful to not let anything important slip when they are present.

They may still be on guard for an attack from us, but as long as we can hide enough from them... then we may be able to break through.

[stillstands]

[Miki presses a finger to her lips.]

I won't.

I think if we did try an attack and it failed, it would be a disaster though. We'd have to be sure that it had a perfect chance of success.

[batfortheprincess]

[Miki turned out to be too right...]

Of course. We... we'll probably need to bide our time for a while until we can get enough information. Maybe we could also find out if anyone else is aboard as well; this place looks far too large for those two to be managing everything on their own.

[stillstands]

[She didn't mean to be.... (´；д；`)]

Patience isn't a bad thing. The more we can find out, the more we'll have to use against them we the time comes. Or when we most need it.

[She's sure of that.]

[batfortheprincess]

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.

[stillstands]

[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.

[batfortheprincess]

[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?

[stillstands]

[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]

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.

[stillstands]

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

[batfortheprincess]

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.]

[stillstands]

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...]
