I always put myself in destructive situations [W5, Friday]

[hydrokinetics]

[It took time. Everything took time as it always did. It took time for them to all calm down, it took time to heal physical wounds, it took time to properly remove the evidence of obscene crimes...but in the evening they were able to gather in one place away from everyone else. It hadn't been easy coordinating everything, but it was necessary.

And so here they were. All seven of them.]

...I don't really know where to start. [His voice is tight, but determined.] But we need everybody on the same page. Who wants to go first?

[insincerely]

Well, shit.

[God, he doesn't want this??? Why do girls keep on crushing on him, it's weird.]

... She told me about that back at the end of the third week, so if she decided to make a move, she's probably already made it, yeah. [...] She's given up on trying to stop the murders, but she told me that her end goal was to win the game and revive everyone. I don't think she was lying about that. But...

[hydrokinetics]

Great. Perfect. [There's a sad sigh.] I don't think she'd lie about the goal, but I also didn't think she'd be trying to manipulate people. This isn't the right way to win, is it?

[insincerely]

Well, she didn't explicitly say she was going to, from what I remember. Just... that she acknowledged that people were lying to and manipulating each other as part of the game, and that she wanted to start playing the game too.

[... so she might as well have said it really]

[hydrokinetics]

Watch her when you can. Be careful. [That sounds really really bad.] So...we have to keep in mind that she might be stringing some people along and playing the game like a bunch of other people around here.

Has she said anything else about this place to you?
