Week 2

[The Champions have now been here for one week, and while the dud of a first incentive didn't tempt anybody, the fact remains obvious: a lack of murder isn't going to be the thing that gets you out of here.

Blaze Dudely and Rox have not made a reappearance since Tuesday, leaving you to your own devices for the moment. That door they entered and exited through remains locked, and there is no new area to access this week. Are you sure they're even still back there? Despite their absence, you all wake up on Sunday morning from strange dreams. What to make of it?

You can only hope it's not a bad omen for the rest of the week.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

Re: MOTIVE: The More the Merrier

[newcycle]

[mako???

literally any of her friends would make her angry, but out of all of them... she's pretty sure he's the one that could handle this the best.

BUT SHE'S STILL ANGRY, AND SOMEONE BETTER HOLD HER BACK.]

Are you kidding me?! Don't you dare...!

[quadjumps]

[ YOU KNOW IT'S BAD WHEN YURI IS THE ONE TRYING TO STOP YOU ]

Korra! Don't be an idiot--you can't--you can't die here, got it?!

[newcycle]

They're threatening our friends! This isn't some game?!

[but she stills... for the moment]

[quadjumps]

I know that! But what good are you gonna do for them if you die here because you made a dumb move?!

[newcycle]

Who says I'm gonna die?!

[she's raging so much, she's yelling in a way she hasn't before]

[quadjumps]

You will if you lay a finger on them!

We need you, Korra!

[newcycle]

[well-- that gets her to stop.

She was always weak to those sorts of appeals, no matter how anguished she looks in the moment]

Yuri...

[quadjumps]

[ well... ]

Look--I'm not good at this comforting shit. But I'm actually trying not to be an asshole because of you, and you're gonna be one of the people who can lead us out of here. The right way. So don't.

[newcycle]

[fuck. now she has to be smart?! When all she wants to do is dropkick them-- especially when she looks over and sees Chloe.]

What--

[keepmeinyourheart]

Korra.

[She can't physically hold you back, but how would you like Lunafreya getting in your way with a rather stern look.]

Stop it. Please.

[newcycle]

[she was about to go avatar state on their asses-- but Luna is enough to stop her.]

We should take them on! Between all of us, maybe we can!

[keepmeinyourheart]

No. [She shakes her head, placing her hands on Korra's shoulder.] That is what they want. For us to fight them. We will be breaking the rules, and someone will be punished... or could die.

[newcycle]

But they're threatening our friends. Mako doesn't deserve this! None of our friends deserve this!

[she turns back to rox, and practically screams]

NONE OF OUR FRIENDS DESERVE TO SUFFER FOR KNOWING US!

[keepmeinyourheart]

Korra, I know this. But they will suffer more if we kill each other just to keep them safe. Would they want that?

[Please, think rationally. Lunafreya doesn't want to lose friends for doing something stupid.]

[newcycle]

[Korra can't do that on her own-- she needs friends around her to push her that way. She just stares long and hard at the ground]

I... I don't want them to hurt my friends. Any of them. Why are they doing this?

[and now she sounds genuinely upset, more than angry]

[keepmeinyourheart]

[Then be glad that Luna is good at rational, even if she at times does rather reckless things.]

Korra, remember, this is a game to these people. This is a way for them to get us to do their twisted bidding. Please, do not let them sway you into committing such an act. [Can she be honest here for a moment?] I do not think I could bear it if you came to harm.

[newcycle]

... [a long inhale, and then an exhale. She's got to find her balance, somehow. But Luna's statement gets through to her pretty quickly]

I-I won't. I'm sorry. We have to-- have a plan, or something.

[keepmeinyourheart]

[She would say the same if there wasn't a gun being aimed at one of their own at the moment.

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE STAY CALM]

[newcycle]

Chloe!

[korra doesn't know what a gun is, but that bang is impossible to ignore]

[le_mat]

Korra, no!

[he does it in his practiced Leader voice: he knows she doesn't take orders well, but if he can just redirect her, that's fine]

[newcycle]

[god she's so angry]

We have to take them! They can't threaten our friends this way!

[le_mat]

CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT THIS MEANS?! IF WE DIE THEY'LL JUST REPLACE US! DON'T DIE FOR NOTHING... please...

[newcycle]

But how else are we going to get out of here?! They took Mako-- they took someone important to you! This isn't funny anymore, if it ever was!
