Oh has everyone been gossiping.

[criminaljustice]

Yes. Because no one has killed themselves in this place before you and C did in the same game.

[zugzwange]

And so everyone heard about it. . .

[criminaljustice]

Everyone who's looking to figure this place out so we can get us out of here and dismantle this place.

... I don't think everyone has heard about it. There's plenty of people who don't concern themselves with other people's troubles like that.

[zugzwange]

I really didn't want to be eaten~ that isn't so unusual, is it. Besides, I didn't end up missing any limbs or anything.

[ if we discount the doll bits he got from hell so u kno, ]

[criminaljustice]

No, instead you went to some casino to... gamble your life back?

[asking that because actually he doesn't understand why the casino at all.

that and like. steadily working through the alcohol. figures like there's probably a reason Haruto insists on him drinking, so why not]

[zugzwange]

Turns out, I'm terrible at cards.

[ a joke?? anyway time to

take a cider though not drink it, ]

[criminaljustice]

Is that why you killed yourself a second time?

[sorry not sorry. he needs. to know.

...

okay, does look a little conflicted after asking that.]

... or was it more like that time when you were telling me you wanted to test that sort of thing outside of a game?

[zugzwange]

Is this gossip or professional curiosity. . .? You're going to devalue my barter chips at this rate.

[criminaljustice]

[neither, both out. but also doubts Haruto would believe him being altruistic in trying to figure out wtf with his suicidal behavior too]

Take it how you want.

If you want information from me, I'll answer whatever questions you might have in exchange.

[zugzwange]

So, what do you think is going on here?

[ ok

time to start drinking, offers Boss some shrimp chips ]

[criminaljustice]

[... taking some chips, sure.]

On the whole?

Someone or something put together a system to fuck with us to get us to do what they want. They're using things like Heaven vs Hell to distract from the fact that no matter which side is which--if there's even a side--there's still likely one person or group that created this place.

[imma fight "God", Haruto. just you wait.]

Basically, I think they're trying to either condition us to serve them or use us as canon fodder or fuel for the pyre. Something like that, anyway...

[zugzwange]

You're certain it's Heaven and Hell?

[criminaljustice]

No.

Exael was the one who said that and I'm not very inclined to believe her in the first place.

[zugzwange]

She said heaven or hell. . . well, it's obvious someone is a liar here.

[criminaljustice]

That Heaven versus Hell narrative was too neat and tidy to make much sense in the first place.

But it doesn't change my view much.

Someone made this place. And I intend to find out. Take them down. And tear this place apart.

[zugzwange]

That sounds like fun, is this you trying to earn your rebel title? Or is that playing too much into your theme. . .

[criminaljustice]

This is just how I am.

[finishing off his cider and putting the bottle back in the case before getting the next one]

I have a strong inclination to want to act out against entities with power who abuse said power.

[zugzwange]

Hmm. . . so how has reebelling gone for you?

[criminaljustice]

About as well as it did back home.

It's a long process.

... I was pretty much a normal kid. But I was falsely convicted for assault, you know? And the guy who got the woman to falsely testify that it was me and not him is a candidate for Prime Minister of Japan.

Like I said: I don't take well to being made into something I'm not. Or maybe I take to it too well?

[make. the fuckers. regret. it. anyway, drinking more.]

[zugzwange]

Maybe try the opposite.

[criminaljustice]

Opposite?

What, like work with them?

[... definitely. unsure about this.]

I'd definitely need more information before that's even an option.

[zugzwange]

Aren't you playing along with your unit theme by being a rebel?

[criminaljustice]

I don't care about my unit's themes, I'm just tired of being made to act outside of what I choose for myself in those games.

[maybe a bit more heated than necessary but. lets out a breath.]

But if there's a reason why you'd think there'd be a pay off by playing along with that idea, then I'm willing to listen. But I can't just go in for that without knowing more.

[zugzwange]

I was just curious what would happen. What's the real difference between killing myself and being killed in a game like that?
