Of course! But I wouldn't want anyone who doesn't want to play to play.

On the other hand... if you did want to play, I'll do my best to not make it "weird."

I don't know. The demon obviously wants us to. But Wildfire's all you can't do anything scandalous and Shrike's all you're supposed to kiss your wife, so I don't even know what's expected, here.

Well, what would you like to do?

I think that's most important.

[Rubbing her arm a little self-consciously...]

I don't know. I just want to hang out with whoever is, you know, not as annoying as everyone else. I don't care if it's playing the game or not.

Okay. Want to find a space away from people who might bug you about playing or not?

I don't think people are going to bother me about it. . . besides, weren't you, like, all into the game before?

I can take a break for you.

. . .

Yeah, okay.

[She hesitates, hugging an arm to her side, and then turns and walks away, not checking to make sure Yvette is following.]

[ following behind, forcibly making her footfalls audible just so she knows She's following ]

[She goes over to a quieter area before leaning up against the wall of a building, staring at some fixed point on the ground.]

. . .

There a day set yet? For Ruby and Paloma.

It might be as soon as today or tomorrow...

They've been here for so long, it's hard to imagine what things will be like without them.

You mad? You've been here way longer, but they get to go first.

Not really. I've seen many people come and go; it doesn't make sense for me to take it personally...

Do you want to leave?

I don't think it's something anyone has a say over... but I'd prefer not to at the moment.

Why not? It's not a good place. I know you do your whole, whatever it is, "PR" thing and stuff, but––

[She shrugs, and doesn't finish the thought, though it's Yvette's very personal and violent murder during GM that comes to mind.]

But there are people I don't want to leave behind... and we just got Lily...

You know... out of the original four members of BARiTONES that were here from the beginning... we're the only two left.

What, did you finally shake Eichi?

Technically, he and Absinthe arrived a few days later.

Maybe we're just fan favourites.

Or maybe they just can't figure out how to get rid of me, since they've screwed it up twice. I don't know.

The most recent round of fanmail aside, I don't think I'm a fan favorite at all.

It probably isn't much comfort, but it's highly unlikely either of us were singled out by being left here... most of the hosts and producers and hosts don't have personal knowledge of any of us unless we initiate contact and engage with them.

I was talking about when I got switched to Avante –– and when we dragged Adora back here by her stupid ponytail.

In the first instance, it seemed as though everyone was caught off guard. If they wanted to make an example of you for the events leading up to the switch, they would have.

And if dragging Adora back was a problem... they would have stopped you.

Actually, they were pretty dumb. We found a demon but, like, they believed we were just from the other faction.

The two sides don't seem like they talk much, or get along. . .

They don't. They're at war with each other, more or less.

Keeping information hidden from each other is a deliberate tactic.
