25th Trial - Ginger

[hot_mess_express]

It is a simple wood-floored room with an empty shrine on one wall. There are a few cushions to sit on, and the smell of incense and blood lingers in the air.

The sound of rain is heavy outside.

[Flexing his fingers, signing.]

So which of us is the "Priest"...? I know it isn't me. I can feel something wrong under my skin.

...And what do we want to do?

[bluediligence]

[ oh ]

[ no ]

[ nnnnnnnnnno thank you, no thank you, no thank you ]

Re: Discussion

[ruinatings]

Personally I'd rather play along and at least get a reward for our inevitable misery.

[awakenerd]

Faito...

Re: Discussion

[awakenerd]

Call me selfish, but I'd rather not eat anyone.

[bluediligence]

[ nope, nope, n o p e ]

I don't want to do this. I don't want any of us to do this at all.

Re: Discussion

[ruinatings]

As expected of you. But you do realise that likely won't be an option for long?

[awakenerd]

Yeah. I feel the same.

Re: Discussion

[awakenerd]

And it probably isn't a good option now, but I still want to go with it.

[bluediligence]

So can we just ... not? [ For as long as they can, if nothing else. ]

Re: Discussion

[ruinatings]

And how exactly will you explain to those who love you that you decided to take an action you knew was foolish, at the expense of everyone in this room?

[awakenerd]

I don't know how long that'll be an option, but... I think it might be worth the risk.

[ruinatings]

It'll all be the same in the end. I don't see the point in standing on pride with no tactical advantage.

[bluediligence]

I can't see "tactics" here. I can just see people who I don't want to- to ...

[ shakes her head, hard ]

[bluediligence]

I'm with you.

[ even if we may be the only ones ]

What's even the point? This is just hurting people for the hell of it.

Re: Discussion

[awakenerd]

Oh don't get on your high horse.

I'm not deciding for everyone. But I'm not going to keep my preference to myself. We can talk it out. Whatever we decide together I'll live with.

[awakenerd]

Mm. Yeah.

So our preference is clear. And Rufus has made his known. I guess we'll see what the others want.

Re: Discussion

[ruinatings]

[HFF!]

I'm not alright with sacrificing myself to someone else's pride in this case.

[He doesn't want to discuss he just wants to give orders!!]

Re: Discussion

[awakenerd]

It's not pride.
