[Okay but WHY ARE THE SPRINKLERS ON in the foyer and all along the central corridors?]

[They're just ... going to keep going. And going. And going, for just over half an hour, until there are some nice puddles all over the floors.]

[ . . . ah fuck ]

The Principal, do you know if he'll be resurrecting the dead?

[Did her eyes just change color? They totally just changed color.]

People actually went for the high numbers?

And I don't have my focus right now, either...

[Just going to ignore that threat for now and lean against the wall next to the door, gun in hand and pointing towards it.]

I dunno if they revive, and hey--don't really care. The important thing here is that apparently I'm suppose to kill one of you, 'cause someone played high. Good for you guys.

So, this goes one of three ways. One: one of you comes out here, pop, and we're done. Two: You get stupid, try to stop me, and I pop one of you in the head and maybe put a bullet in the kneecap of the rest of you. Or three: I come in there, pop one of you, and heaven help everyone else because I really hate it when people make me go out of my way to do anything, y'know?

What makes you think you could even get in here?

About a pound of c4.

[Overkill, but hey there's no better kind of kill.]

[CLAPS HIS HANDS AND PLANTS THEM ON THE DOOR TO TRANSMUTE . . .

NOTHING]

[shit shit alchemy got turned off what now]

[ Puts a hand on Als shoulder ]

Oh honestly! Please settle down miss! Certainly you dont have so much murdering to do today that you can't give us a moment! There's no need for anyone to be rude right now.

Look, sweetums--every minute you're spending not letting me kill one of you guys is a minute I can't use to finish upgrading my sweet new w-tazer, and the time of a genius like me is worth a lot more than all of your lives put together.

You've got... Oh... Let's say three minutes to send someone out, before I'm coming in.

And you don't want me coming in, because I don't want to come in. With me? Good. Chop chop.

[shooting Aeris a desperate look, lowering his voice so as not to be heard through the door]

We can't really send someone out there!

She's probably not kidding about killing us all, or that she's able to do so...

Honestly, something like this so early...!

Why would anyone play that . . .

Death is only certain if we do not fight. I will face her.

[Picks up a kitchen knife (THAT'S... CLOSE ENOUGH TO A SWORD, RIGHT...).]

[ LOOK I DON'T WANT TO GET KNEE CAPPED OR SLAUGHTERED BUT ]

... do you know what a gun is? You will be dead the moment the door opens.

...I might be able to help a bit with that. It might not be able to completely mitigate the effects, but I can at least increase his defense a bit.

...It probably still won't enough to help very much, though.

. . . If you rush her, she might not be able to get a good shot. You could use the surprise to disarm her.

I can try to distract her too.

. . . Listen to me, and think about what I'm asking.

Would you like to die here? If we keep playing and avoid loss, there's a chance that we can reclaim what's lost in the playing.

Hmph. I do not plan on giving up my will to live.

[Swings knife a couple times.] With a blade this short, I will have to get in close to do any stabbing.

...

[He's starting to look a bit pale.]

...I can't really fight in this condition, but I might still be able to give you some help.

[And she... starts singing. You can feel her desire to protect everyone, and everyone now has a defense buff! ...Which will disappear as soon as you actually confront our opponent, because she cheats.]

...I understand the basic principle, at least. Letting someone sacrifice themselves for the good of the group is something that should be praised, and respected...

That being said, I do have objections to their methods. On the other hand, we're not really in a position where we can expect to win quite yet.

No, it's not like that at all. There's nothing good, or noble, or praiseworthy about giving up your life. Certainly all of us have people who love us, who will only be hurt. When you die suddenly there are no dramatic of beautiful feelings there, just horrible emptiness for everyone left behind.

What I mean is- "death," right now, might not be...

I suppose it's true that most of you aren't Algodan, and thus shouldn't be held to Algodan standards... But what do you mean by "death" might not be death?

I've been murdered and resurrected about a dozen times now, in circumstances a little like these.

Mm, but... at the same time, it's really not a contingency worth wagering a precious life on.

She means it might not be permanent.

It's . . . w-we should still be trying to avoid it at all . . . Even if someone—even if the laws of that could be broken here it's still . . . painful. Something we should fight against.

[From outside the door.]

Two minutes, everyone!

[idk Lon'qu comes from one of the few JRPGs where people die if they are killed.]

Are you all done yet? Just do what you want. I'm going to fight.
