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.

Comments

[failsaw]

They'll say it was. If you don't think they will you're even more gullible than you look.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

I'm not that gullible, and neither are the other agents in the Foundation.

The ramifications of this aren't something they can easily explain away. It's going to impact others one way or another, and I think we should consider that before we do anything rash.

[And as she talks, she begins to realize...]

If this just causes them to view people like us as even more expendable, I want to avoid that outcome, and that means avoiding making ourselves out to be bloodthirsty murderers.

[failsaw]

The fuck do you think we are? [giriko is captain of the bloodthirsty murderers club and she's assuming she's not the only one

what do you mean you haven't all committed a bunch of homicides???]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

...

I know I'm not a murderer.

[failsaw]

... seriously?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Seriously.

[failsaw]

Why the fuck are you here then?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

I don't know! I was just assigned to it. The same as everyone here.

But if they chose someone like me for a mission like this, it can't just be to watch murderers fight to the death. I'm just not the type to do anything like that.

[georgeous]

This is a good point in time to point out that I am also not a murderer, thank you.

[duskhound]

[...]

...It would be nice if that can stay the case.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

I don't plan on letting that change anytime soon, Ellie.

[duskhound]

Let's do our best to make sure that can stay the case, then!

[Someone here needs clean hands, after all.]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Ellie...

[She'd give you a headpat, but she knows you don't like it.]

I'd just be happy if we could agree to try to help each other when we can.

[duskhound]

That's fine, yeah. It's best if everyone helps each other whenever we can. There's a lot more than just us at stake here, after all.

[arraignments]

... I can't say the same.

[ The smile he gives is grim. ]

I've killed numerous people. [ yet, dislikes: murder ] Even so... I do believe we should make an attempt to avoid death, while accepting it as a possibility - namely given the mix of people we have.

[ He isn't looking at anyone, in particular, when he says this, but. ]

This could be a test, and I know I'd rather prove them wrong, if there's a chance they're assuming that people really will up and kill one another. [ just sayin' ] And, more importantly, pointless death is wrong.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Goro...

[She's been getting tense over all this. Hard not to, when conflict leads right to stress.]

...Thank you.

[failsaw]

No shit we should try and avoid death! But it's not gonna work, and I sure as hell ain't gonna risk my life for any of you assholes.

[georgeous]

I'm not risking mine for you either, just so we're clear.

[ Teammate dearest. ]

But barring that risk, I'm willing to work together to keep each other and the rest of our team alive.

[odasaku]

...

[ oda sighs, looking away. ]

That's not the case for some of us.

[georgeous]

The fact that you said 'some' already proves the point that we weren't selected based on it, so it hardly matters.

[prayerwheel]

[ ................about that ]

I've had to perform some morbid duties during missions. I'll admit that freely.

[ though she doesn't look happy about it ]

[failsaw]

Well guess what, you're on a fuckin' mission.

[prayerwheel]

And your point is...? Unless I'm given a direct order, I have no plans to spill any blood.

[failsaw]

That's all it's gonna take?

[overconfidant]

[Akira just coughs and rubs at the back of his neck.]

Define 'murderer'? I don't really like killing people but I've done it on Foundation orders before.
