[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?]

It'd be really great if it were! But...

[no such luck]

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I had a sinking feeling.

[ Adrien sighs deeply. ]

I promise it's not always like this. You just came at a... Well, at a really bad time. Not that you get to choose or anything.
pawtner: (15654431)

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
With any luck, we'll get a chance to see what it's like later.

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
What it's like - oh. Right. Um, the last time people died, they came back pretty soon afterwards. So... I mean, not that I'm trying to imply it's not awful either way. Because it definitely is.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (130))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
No--- definitely! Even if they come back, it's still not something you want anyone to go through.
heartlands: (pic#14961328)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. So - we're going to try our best not to let that happen, but it's a little more complicated when we can't actually talk to anyone...

[sighs]
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (128))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

[ Adrien sighs. ]

I'd much rather everyone be able to work out a plan together. I'm sure if everyone could talk it out, we'd be able to work through this.

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[with a frown]

That's what we were able to do last time... I kind of wonder if the fact that we were so successful means she decided to split us up entirely for this one.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (129))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You've had to do something like this before?
heartlands: (pic#14961328)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I wouldn't say it happens very often, but - more often than it should, for sure. This is the second time there's been a chance people could die, I think, and we've been here just shy of a month and a half.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (25))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's... that's horrible! That's definitely too many times! Once is too many, but this is.... just who do they think they are?!
heartlands: (pic#14961325)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...She's horrible.

[his voice is serious, and his expression grows more severe for a second]

We've been looking for a way to stop her, but we haven't found it yet.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (28))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
If there's anything I can do to help, just say the word. I'll take her down.
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[nodding]

We don't exactly have a plan yet, but... I'm sure once we do, it's going to take all of us working together.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (25))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure it will. But whatever part I have to play, I'll be there for it! One hundred percent.
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
...I think you're going to fit in here pretty well.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (129))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhm-- do you really think so?

[ He sounds startled! Not displeased, though. ]
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. You seem like you care about what's most important... Helping people, right?
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (25))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! If there's something I can do to help people, I wanna do everything I can.
heartlands: (pic#14961328)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Well - I'm really glad to hear that. If the pattern holds, the next one should be a lot less dangerous, so... Hopefully we can all help in a less dangerous way next time.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (85))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
What are the other kinds like? Other than "less dangerous".
heartlands: (pic#14895019)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's see... There was one where we had to share feelings and thoughts and memories with each other, that one was pretty cool. I missed one about dating which I am totally cool with having missed, there was one about lying to each other, one about playing something called bingo with different tasks on it that we had to do together...
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (150))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I--

[ Adrien's cheeks flush. ]

I think I'm okay with missing a dating game. The others sound pretty interesting, though.
heartlands: (pic#14961328)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[he nods, looking a little uncomfortable at the idea himself]

Hopefully we won't get a repeat of that one, it did not sound awesome. The others have been pretty nice, though, other than the lying one... But even that one was pretty harmless in the end.
