7th - [Audio]

[salamandher]

Okay... so a bunch of people ran off to play Revolutionary or whatever.

And... no one's back yet? Anyone else think maybe this was all some big, "Hey let's see how many stupid people we can con into playing with fire and then let them get burned"...

Thing?

[This is Kara's roundabout way of asking "IS THIS A TRAP?"]

Or is this just your friendly neighborhood redhead being paranoid as balls? Kinda hoping it's that.

[Heeeey Kara, it's your favorite Bruce. He's working right now and would rather not make things worse with her by answering in audio.]

It seems like a roundabout way to accomplish something.

[if they were going to kill them...why not just kill them?]

[text]

[salamandher]

Yeah, well, who knows what the good lord has up his potentially nonexistent sleeves so.

[text]

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

I doubt he'd bring us all the way here just to kill us. It doesn't fit.

[text]

[salamandher]

'Doesn't fit.'

And you'd know that... how?

[text]

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

It just seems like far too much subterfuge to me. We're already trapped, why try to trap us further?

[text]

[salamandher]

Why not?

[text]

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

What would be the point?

[Aside from proving his social experiment theory. Remember that, Kara?]

[text]

[salamandher]

I don't know, smartass, I'm not the crazy guy bringing people to his castle.

[text]

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

[Just give it up, Bruce. There's no salvaging this.]

Nevermind. Sorry to bother you.

[drinkuntilidie]

If that was a trap then they really need to start building them better.

[salamandher]

Or bigger.

[drinkuntilidie]

Bigger just means bigger holes to slip through.

[salamandher]

Yeah, I guess so.

[drinkuntilidie]

Damn ladymon, try not to sound so excited.

[salamandher]

Oh, no, I haven't even started trying not to sound excited.

[drinkuntilidie]

Be careful with that ladymon or you might suck all the fun right out of this place.

[salamandher]

There's fun in this place? Really?

[drinkuntilidie]

There's a bar.

[Does that answer your question?]

[salamandher]

Yeah, bars don't do much for me.

[drinkuntilidie]

Then I'm all out of ideas.

[salamandher]

That's... really sad.

[drinkuntilidie]

Might be for them. I still have fishing.

[salamandher]

Fishing? Here? Really?

[drinkuntilidie]

What? You haven't seen the lake?

[salamandher]

Nope.

Never seen it.

[drinkuntilidie]

Try talking a walk once in a while ladymon.

[salamandher]

A walk out where crazy guys are going to assault me with guns. Yeah, sounds awesome.

[drinkuntilidie]

Alright you lost me there.

[salamandher]

Crazy man waved a gun in my face, when all I did was take a walk down the hallway. I'm not really interested in doing that again.

[drinkuntilidie]

Have fun camping out in your cell then.

[needsnobottle]

See, trap is what I was afraid of.

[Yeah, Tammy's worried.]

[text]

[salamandher]

I guess there's not really anything to worry about though, right?

Death's not permanent or anything.

[text]

[needsnobottle]

That's what they keep telling us, but doesn't really help explain why some people disappear and we never hear about them again.

[text]

[salamandher]

Maybe they got their worlds fixed.

[text]

[needsnobottle]

[Tammy hadn't allowed herself to contemplate this, to consider that maybe the people she missed so deeply had found their ways home again, were away, and happy, and perhaps with no memory of this place they'd come to. It was comforting in a way but in another it hurt, and the war to figure out how she really felt tore at her already ravaged heart.]

Maybe. You'd think our host would be lording that over us though.

[text]

[salamandher]

Unless he's not supposed to or something? I dunno.

[text]

[needsnobottle]

Huh. I hadn't stopped to consider he might be answering to someone else.

[Given her own situation, though, it should have occurred to her.]

[text]

[salamandher]

Maybe that's why we never see him.

[text]

[needsnobottle]

Might explain it, yeah.
