Week 1, post-trial

[aono]

[Well I made this post ages ago and now it's time to use it.

Rin is going to track Spike down after the trial.]

Hey! Let's team up for something!

[The best way to start a conversation, clearly.]

[bloodyromance]

[He is just going to raise an eyebrow at Rin.]

For what, exactly? I'm not exactly the groupie type.



[Wait is he one of Buffy's groupies]

[aono]

For teamwork, duh!

See, I've been thinking: these killings might be related to the game. I think it's like...someone from one team killing someone from the other. But we can't just go around asking everyone their teams, that'll cause trouble. And I've already talked to several people about teams this week, so I don't think I can do it anymore.

Do you think you can find out what team Bertoldt is on?

[bloodyromance]

...What, like, visit him in prison and interrogate him about it?

[He could go poking around the guy's room but...]

I think you're right, and if I had to guess I'd say Berty's a Celestial, but I'm not sure how I would go about proving that unless you got any ideas?

[aono]

The Watchers might be willing to talk about it next week too. I asked and they told me Qu Rong and Marius' teams.

But what I'm thinking is, we haven't been told much of anything about this game. So what if that's the game? Hunt down members of the other team like it's some fucked up game of laser tag.

[bloodyromance]

Like a team death match, yeah.

It's clearly set up so that we're not able to communicate our teams or bring it out in the open. Maybe if we can get a hold of their coins...

[aono]

We can a little bit, but like. I only told my brother my team and I don't really want to push it further. But I can at least say you can tell one person without anything bad happening?

[bloodyromance]

So it's probably only if word gets out.

...Can you say if you're on the same team, though? Or did he not share with the class.

[aono]

...guess that can't hurt. So no, we're on different teams.

[He waits a moment like he's expecting to be struck down, but nothing happens?]

[bloodyromance]

Well, that's cruel of them.

You two get along or should you be concerned? [He's only half joking.]

[aono]

We get along alright, yeah. I mean, brothers fight sometimes, but we care about each other.

[bloodyromance]

[He just shrugs. Good enough for him.]

Don't have siblings, never did, so I wouldn't know. [Buffy and Dawn fought, though.

.....yeah, that's about all the siblings he knows.] But I guess the question is if we can snatch people's coins and find out what their teams are. That'll be the way to figure out the pattern to it, I'm guessing.

[aono]

Isn't that against the rules?

[bloodyromance]

Did they ever say that? Don't think they did.

They might make it a rule after we're done but they can't justify this kind of game continuing by punishing us innocent swaddling little babes for poking about where our curiosity takes us.

[aono]

I dunno dude, the last time some shithead authority figure didn't like what I did he cut my foot off. It might be better to ask first.

[bloodyromance]

[He chuckles, like an asshole.]

Yeah, probably. I'll ask Baraq next week.

[aono]

They'll probably say it's okay, I think they're at least part demon.

[Demons. Always some level of 'do whatever you want'.]
