CORAL

[dramatispersonae]

[The inside of the tent is spacious, but spare. In the center of the hard-packed dirt floor, as promised, there is a heavy oaken trapdoor with an iron ring set into it.

Apart from that, there is nothing.]

We'll go forward.

[Though maybe that's another trap.]

Re: DISCUSS

[blackjacked]

. . . if forward isn't just another trap.

[saying what he's thinking out loud]

Re: DISCUSS

[digitalemperor]

...If it isn't another trap.

So what we stay here and wait it out? He's trying to kill us.

Re: DISCUSS

[blackjacked]

He's been trying to kill us for the very beginning. If we go back into the city, we'll just make ourselves vulnerable again.

Let's end this stupid game.

Re: DISCUSS

[digitalemperor]

How?

Re: DISCUSS

[blackjacked]

By telling him we're not going back. We're finished. We're not gonna make ourselves vulnerable to him.

Re: DISCUSS

[digitalemperor]

Sounds good. If he tries to kill us for not playing...?

Re: DISCUSS

[blackjacked]

We fight back. What else?

Re: DISCUSS

[digitalemperor]

Just making sure.

[uuuugh he's so tense. he keeps glancing at Robin, then back again :|;;]

Re: DISCUSS

[digitalemperor]

...Kit?

Re: DISCUSS

[blackjacked]

Tch. . .

[rakes a hand through his hair]

'M fine. It's just the game getting to me.

Re: DISCUSS

[digitalemperor]

...Yeah. Me too.

Re: DISCUSS

[blackjacked]

[glancing at the trap door again, like he expects something to leap out of it at any moment]

I can't shake the feeling Robin insisted we go into Camelot last round because he wanted us to be hurt. I know it's stupid, but. . .

Re: DISCUSS

[digitalemperor]

...Is it stupid?

Re: DISCUSS

[blackjacked]

Yes.

[says that emphatically, but there's a small splash of doubt. . .]

Re: DISCUSS

[digitalemperor]

...You're not sure.

Re: DISCUSS

[blackjacked]

I'm sure.

[he's not sure]
