[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

Go ahead.

... If this turns out to be as bad a shithole as we're all expecting, and we start with a game of kill or be killed, how do you intend to play it?

. . .

[he shakes his head]

I don't know yet. It depends on . . . what sort of set-up there'll be.

... All right. At least you're honest.

. . . mm, well. If I can avoid it, then we'll avoid it. If we can't . . . that's what we'll have to decide on.

I assume you're not the sort to play hard.

... Takshaka would never hurt anyone else. If we could, we just wouldn't play in those games. If we had to, we'd play on ourselves first. If we couldn't do that, we'd play as lightly as the rules allowed, and do whatever we could to fix what we did after games.

I intend to try to stay the same here.

. . . I hope you can.

Monoceros were everyone else's targets, most of the time. We lost people all the time, so . . . no one really got to know us. It made it easier.

If anything, I'll play to protect my team. There's . . . people I know with me, and they're from other places like us, too, so . . .

[he shrugs, kind of helplessly] Hopefully we're just assuming the worst, right?

... If I learned one thing from that place, it's that you're never assuming bad enough.

Just don't hit Art. That's all. [though i am most definitely not on art, if he's paying attention to that.]

[he sure is, but he nods]

We'll try not to.

Thanks.

Mm, of course.
