[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?]

[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.

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.

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?!

[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.

[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.

[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".

[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.

[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.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (128))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I can see where lying could get complicated but it doesn't sound like it'd be the worst idea for a game. Depending on the circumstances, anyway.
heartlands: (pic#14961328)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
We were allowed to set the record straight after it was over, at least, so... Better than the alternative.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (143))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Adrien gives a smile at that. ]

Then there really is no harm in it.
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. So... Hopefully you'll be able to get to know the rest of the teams here once the next game comes around.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (123))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm definitely gonna put in some effort to, that's for sure.
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Good.

[there's a small pause, before:]

Well, regardless of timing... Welcome to Kraken.
pawtner: (2022-03-23 (150))

[personal profile] pawtner 2022-04-30 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I.... won't say it's "good to be here," but I will say I'm glad to meet you.
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2022-04-30 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'll say the same.

[with a firm nod]

We'll get through this together, no matter what.
