[KRAKEN]

[once you pass through the clocktower door, you find yourself in a closed room complete with a central table, notebooks and pens, and a white board for strategizing]

[a digital clock on the wall counts down to the end of the game. time to get to work, right?]

[he also hates this, and it definitely shows in his face and voice]

I think... Without coordinating, it feels even more wrong to pick another team. I mean, hopefully Cerberus is thinking the same thing we are, but if we pick another one, I don't think that other team would have any possible way to anticipate it.

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. I'm sure Cerberus is probably thinking the same thing though they also have a ton of people they'd want to protect.

[he nods]

They might... But if we didn't pick them, who would we go for? I can't think of another team that would choose us first, unless it's because they didn't know who to go for and made a random choice.

And if they did, there's no way we'd know who to target... even with my luck.

Yeah. Let's wait to see what everyone else thinks, obviously, but I think that might be our best option. Even if it's still...

[bad! terrifying!]

Terrible beyond belief!!

...Yeah, that's a pretty good way to describe it.

[terrible beyond belief indeed! he runs a hand through his hair.]

But - I know us, and I know we'll make the best choice we can. Whatever comes after that... We can deal with it together.

... Mm. [ She nods, almost imperceptibly. ]

We're not making this choice alone... whatever happens.

[ what a game to happen right after an "I don't want to die" talk, she does not say. ]

[he doesn't have much to say to that, but he is at least going to try to pull her into a hug.]

[ She will absolutely hug back, as she will always do. Hi, Rupert. ]

[he's going to stroke her hair a little before pulling back, only so he can talk to her.]

Hey. Let's do something really fun once all this is over, okay?
