Let's end this spiral down, pick ourselves off the ground [W5, Sunday]

[It's early evening when the Bounty group gathers again. There's more to discuss now that they've had time to cope and pick themselves up again, ready to get back to work. Time is still marching on and it's nothing that they can waste.

Together again, they settle. The room is quiet for a time as they all gather their thoughts. With everything that came up this weekend? They need a new plan of action.]

It wouldn't, but not if it means risking someone important. We still need them in one piece, Milla.

[He's just going to reach over to Jason's notepad and grab his pen, underlining the words "someone important."]

Then send me. Keep Noctis behind, he's needed as the Bounty.

[well

what if he just grabs Percy's arm and quickly writes SOMEONE IMPORTANT on it.

fuckerrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

[He probably pulls away and now his arm just says SOMEONE IMP so that's great.]

Dude, cut it out!

[HUFFS AND TRIES TO GO FOR THE ARM AGAIN???

Jason's going to bully Percy Jackson into loving himself if it's the last thing he does, fuck.]

[Are they going to end up in basically a slap fight? Probably. JASON LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!

There's probably pen all over Percy's arm. This is fine.]

[They are totally going to end up in basically a slap fight.

ENJOY HAVING INK ALL OVER YOUR ARM, PERCY. Jason's not giving up until he writes the last few letters of that word.]

... Seriously, you two?

[FOR ONCE HE'S NOT PART OF THE DUMB THING]

[SHE JUST LOVES ALL THIS FREE ENTERTAINMENT???]

Oh! No, don't judge them too harshly, they might stop.

[why are you like this tho]

[HE DOESN'T WANT YOU HURT OR DYING, YOU JERK.]

[..........]

You know what, what even makes us so important? The only one invaluable is Damian. Otherwise, it's not like our role is especially useful.

Your roles are protecting Damian, so I'm pretty sure that counts for something. I dunno, maybe we're just not looking at this the right way.

Yeah, but it's not like you can't protect him either.

If there's anything else to our role beyond just killing Bandits now, I don't know what it is.

[huh]

I think it might be worth it to ask the Sheriff if there's something we're missing. You're right; Jason and Percy, two people without roles, are just as capable of protecting Damian as the rest of us.

Well, which one of us wants to ask, then?

... Honestly, I feel like we should compile a list of all the questions we have for him at this point.

I already intend to ask him why he went after Yuna, if the Deputy is needed to end the game without killing, and if there are any other win conditions he isn't telling us about. I don't mind adding another question to my list.

[but if someone else wants it, she'll let them have it]

[why]

Honestly, you and Percy both. Why are you implying that you aren't also someone important?

Because Percy's an idiot. As for me, it doesn't MATTER if I live or die here. The result's going to be the same.

. . .

Honesty. You're all so willing to offer your lives for the greater good.

[she can't judge but she does give a little exasperated sigh nonetheless]

I'd like for you to stay alive, Jason. Even if you don't have a role, you've done a lot for this group.

I've got a role. It's being the local pincushion.
This isn't me being a martyr, Milla. It's just a fact. You guys will get more done by being alive than me.

[Just let him be self-deprecating in peace, gosh.]

[okay you know what she's read enough she's punching him in the shoulder??]

Stop it, you asshole.

[JUST

POUTS.

He won't write or tap out anything else, but it's true?? He's already dead, gosh.]

[okay well Natalie said exactly what she wanted to say, so. . .]

As I said, I won't tell you not to take risks. I think investigating the town is something we should all do.

But I think everyone in this room is indispensable, and I'd personally like to see all of us survive. That includes you, Jason.

[She's going to talk about this with him later??? But for now she is giving him a Glare.]
