Week 1 - C-Class Meeting Mingle

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Shortly after Dazai's announcement, Saki goes around finding all of the C-class she can, directing them to bathrooms.

Once everyone is gathered, she'll speak up:]

I apologize for the location, but this seems to be the one room where we aren't under as much surveillance. That said, I thought it would be best if we could collect our thoughts on how we want to proceed with this mission, since I think all of us were taken by surprise on those rules.

I also want to make note of how many teams have a C-class. I know I'm the only one for the... Blue Butterflies. [Which sounds so ridiculous considering the penalty for failure is death.]

If no one has to die during this mission, I'd like to minimize casualties. Losing man power here doesn't do anyone any good.

[failsaw]

Yeah? You sayin' that if you were given a direct order to kill, you wouldn't?

and suddenly

[visionem]

[ Hi C-class folk, are you having fun? In the middle of all this discussion, you'll find that suddenly there's someone else there with you. A tall silver headed man was he another recruit that everyone looked over?

Whoever they are, he's staying silent. Oh, and he has a gigantic ass spear. ]

[prayerwheel]

You just asked me the opposite question. Is there any reason you're so concerned about my answer over the others'?

[failsaw]

You're the only person in here who's announced what it's gonna take to get you to fuck up their "everybody lives" plans.

[failsaw]

Who the fuck are you!? [Sorry, everyone in the bathroom, there's just LOUD CHAINSAW ENGINE NOISE in here. Hopefully nobody wanted to like... actually talk at a volume that isn't yelling.]

[arraignments]

Are you really so sure about that?

[ It's... a legit question, actually! ]

What they do to us is one thing. What we choose to do in response is another thing entirely.

[ Suddenly, there's a shift in his tone. The smirk he gives is a tiny bit wider than he would normally wear. There's a tiny bit of something darker in his gaze. ]

Are you really okay with just rolling over and accepting their bullshit? With being an ideal puppet in their show?

[prayerwheel]

If they want their bloodshed to be "earned" and not "just a random killing spree" it stands to reason they wouldn't give any of us a direct order to kill in the first place.

[arraignments]

[ ????????????????? ]

[duskhound]

...I should be honest about it as well: If I'm ordered to, I would most likely kill someone. I'm pretty sure I've specifically been flagged for "termination" if I refuse such orders, after all.

I have no intention of killing anyone unless something like that happens.

[failsaw]

I got my own reasons for surviving, whatever it fuckin' takes.

[visionem]

[ !!!

The man(?) takes a five foot step back, hand over his spear but not drawing it yet. ]

Tam Lin.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[UM........?]

[failsaw]

That's not a fuckin' answer!

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Who are you, and what are you doing here?

[IS. IS THIS A TRESSPASSER...??]

[visionem]

You inquired as to my name, and as such I replied. I am the Genma, Tam Lin.

[failsaw]

Bullshit. They've already changed the rules on us once.

[visionem]

[ This but also: ]

I was sent here by my liege.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

...Why? And who is your liege?

[The confusion only continues?!]

[duskhound]

...And your liege is...?

[failsaw]

[The chainsaw noises have (thankfully) reduced from LOUD REVVING to a low snarl]

The fuck does that mean? [Does she have to kill you for trespassing in the Secret C-Class Bathroom Meeting?]

[failsaw]

It's easy, ain't it? Talkin' about how great it would be for everybody to live when you know you'll kill somebody to save your own ass.

[prayerwheel]

[ alright this conversation is going in circles. Azura rolls her eyes. ]

Then what's the point of locking us up in here in the first place? Experiments have to have a control factor or they don't mean anything.

[ a pause ]

Regardless, I've mainly been used as containment personnel, so I doubt they'll ask me to engage in direct combat. If--and if that day comes, you're welcome to lord it over me.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Do you want to just go ahead and kill, then? Even if it could have consequences for all of us?

[Yeah, she's just going to stick to that argument because it's probably the biggest threat.]

I don't even care if people try to save themselves because they're afraid of dying. But the least we could all do is agree to work together when we can. That's all that needs to be said right now.

[duskhound]

Honestly, I'm saying this in the hopes that if it does end up like that, somebody can stop me. After all, in that case it wouldn't be that I refused the order, but that I couldn't complete the order.

Being unable to complete the order is probably fine, but I have to at least try, whether I want to or not.

[failsaw]

It's not a fuckin' experiment. They just wanna jerk off to some slasher movie gore bullshit.
