Oh no, it seems we're at an impasse!

[criminaljustice]

Except it is something I haven't told anyone.

[zugzwange]

Believing your word really does sort of put us back in the same situation.

[criminaljustice]

I only have myself to offer, Haruto. I don't... really have anything else.

And I know I'm not worth that much, but if I had anything else, then I'd put it on the table.

[zugzwange]

Are you still just in the gathering information stage of your proposed coup. Or rather, prison break, I guess.

[criminaljustice]

[very funny.]

Yes.

[zugzwange]

[ i thought it was ]

But no actions have been taken. . .?

[criminaljustice]

I can't speak for Intensity and what he's got going on. But I haven't done anything as of yet, no.

Not outside of seeing who I can trust in this place.

I would like to trust you, Haruto, but in order to earn that trust from you, I have to show my own, right? So if you have something in mind, name it.

[zugzwange]

I'll be honest with you. You don't want to trust me, but you do want what I have. It's kind of a fun position to be in, but I know you're already tiring of the game.

[criminaljustice]

I'm not. And I do want to trust you.

You're a smart man, Haruto. And I know you catch shit for being the flighty asshole Intensity bitched about, but spoiler alert: I like flighty assholes. If you feel more comfortable focusing on the getting information from you part, then that's fine. I can't say I don't have that intent.

I just also have the intent of being able to work with you. Hopefully, rely on you. Or you me.

[zugzwange]

There's only a few things of worth in this conversation and let me tell you, that you're hardly on the list of good offerings.

But I can think of something of interest, at least, even if there's nothing of value.

[criminaljustice]

[doesn't seem bothered by being called "bad offerings" in essence.]

And what's that?

[zugzwange]

Throwing games doesn't seem to matter, does it. Breaking things, obviously not. So, I wonder, what else can 'break the system' so to speak?

[criminaljustice]

... you're suggesting the whole "play along" thing again?

[zugzwange]

Not quite. I'm still turning it over in my head. There's so many possibilities, you understand.

[criminaljustice]

I don't. You're obviously smarter than I am.

[zugzwange]

It would definitely take too long to go through all of them.

[criminaljustice]

... [kind of gestures around them, as if to say "i have all the time in the world"]

Start with the most probable?

[zugzwange]

What do you consider 'entertainment'?

[criminaljustice]

... fighting...?

[this is probably not the correct answer.]

[zugzwange]

Wow, so you’re that kind of person. . .

[criminaljustice]

I prefer fair fights, so that kind of person, yeah.

Aside from that, I guess the usual sort of thing?

[zugzwange]

The usual sort of thing. . .

[criminaljustice]

It kinda depends on the people I'm with. Or the people I'm around, I guess?

Like, if you're saying entertainment for demons, I'd probably stick to my fighting answer.

But if you're saying entertainment for you...

...

Well, I guess getting drunk on a rooftop and doing some very questionable things.

[zugzwange]

That's flattering but hardly sounds honest.
