It's confronting our mortality. [ he shrugs. ] I think you need to be more worried if you aren't anxious or worried about it.
Not exactly, but we didn't have something quite like this.
... That is a little contradictory, but I see your point. I simply attempt not to let such feelings wholly consume me, but it is difficult.
Maybe. More where you direct your worry than the act of being worried themselves.

I wonder what’ll happen. It’s not as though we can predict anything but I’d quite enjoy a week where no one died. Maybe we can just put on a dance act for the Nightman or something.

[ he clicks his tongue ]
Would that we could; full glad would I be to put on some embarrassing display if it meant a life could be spared. Yet causing turmoil is half the point, yes?

Yes, they seem to be into a little chaos in their daily lives. Although only as long as it doesn’t involve them directly, apparently.
... Such is the way. I will not pretend to understand it, but there are those out there who do not see value in the lives of others. How one such person got this sort of power, however... I do not know.
I wonder if we can take it away from them, if we find out.
[ Down in the prism, maybe the doors spat you out here, or maybe you made your own way down; either way, it's ocean time.
Or at least, it's just enjoying the view. Alphinaud stands just far enough away from the tide that the waters don't reach his feet as it rolls back and forth over the sand, a to-go cup sitting in his hands. A carbuncle, however, is a little more adventurous, and splashes along the tide as it comes. ]

But would it solve the core problem? Clearly, we've a number of these so-called games occurring far too frequently for my liking.
[ look at carby gooooo. ]
You look appropriately melancholy.

—Hm?
[ go carby go ]
Do I? ... Well, I suppose I am feeling it some, too.

One step at a time. Stop one source, and it can ripple out from there once you have more information to work with.
Unsurprising. That was… what I expected after last week, yet also so much worse.
... Easier said than done, of course, but it could maybe work.
It will always feel worse, I think. We know full well any one of us could do the deed, and yet... it feels so unexpected, each time.
Was it like this where you were? A lack of control over people’s actions before they killed?
Everything is. But it’s better than leaving all of it unchecked. Unless you wanted to let more of them run while a full force simultaneous strike was planned.
... For some yes—for others, 'twas a role they were recruited into. Nevertheless, such compulsions happened every week.
Interesting. It sounds like a very common thing to happen in games like this. Recruited role or not.
[ AHHH THE PC ]
[ anyway, yuri is in the library with a drink, flicking through some books. it’s quiet here and he’s enjoying that calm. ]

Ahh. I’m not really seeking anything, just browsing. There’s quite the collection here.

Indeed. The libraries of other worlds are always fascinating, yes? It may not be vast, yet you find here what you could not elsewhere.
There’s definitely a lot of books I couldn’t conceptualise hiding in here, yes. Texts at the monastery tend to be historical, religious or studious in nature. Magic tomes, etc, etc.
