week 4 ( tuesday )

[Is Max sick of him yet.]

First: could I make a formal request for an audience with the Composer?

... I figured. That just supports the idea that that isn't our ideal ending all the more, huh...?

No point in a Game where the main pieces aren't the ones to decide their fate.

Pretty much.

[hm]

Did you think about it? Why the Games exist at all.

Are you able to confirm anything now or is this still for probing at my thoughts?

We'll see.

[#ominous]

... But the Players are the central piece in most Games, or...?

You're right on that count. Reapers... are just a cog in the machine. They've already played this shit.

Are you allowed to give me examples of how other Games have gone? You did say our setup was unusual.

........

[ugh]

I can, but it has to be my own, which is a whole fucking thing. [he doesn't look like he wants to go over that much.] Alright. Bare bones of that shit: it lasted a week, the other Players involved were from the same camp as me, I knew the area we were in, and most of the Reapers were just sending out traps or Noise after us.

... It lasted a week?

That's the general length of a Game. Sometimes they're longer. But eight weeks? That's fucking unbearable.

So I've gathered by the fact that people don't want to chance it, even with the possibility that it's the ideal ending...

I don't know what they're whining about, you guys lost fifteen Players in four weeks.

[in a few hours it'll be sixteen but sh]

Well, I for one am willing to put up with this Game for however long I have to. [Obviously.] Even if it's difficult, this is a big deal. A few weeks isn't that long in the grand scheme of things.

[come on people!!! :(]

You gonna put that in your next note to the people, or are you just venting?

I don't even know if I should write another note... though that probably wouldn't go in it, anyway. Criticism probably won't encourage them.

If you criticized them the other way, maybe. Most of these fucks are spiteful. And that's coming from me.

[he's not wrong]

... I don't think I'm good at that kind of thing...

No kidding.

[he's seen you and jacopo, setz.]

Honest opinion? I don't know that another note would help, but at this point, it's not like it could make things worse.

[shhhhhhh]

I was hoping they'd try writing to me so that we could have some semblance of a discussion, but from the looks of things, I doubt that's going to happen.

I'll think about what I might put in a second letter, then.

You've got all week to think about it. [shrugs] There's not a fucking lot you can do to get them to discuss... anything, other than offering the info and hoping for the best.

[or apparently get jacopo to do shit but that might not be a good thing—]

... Guess I'll keep at that, then.

[In the end, it would be just like him to be useless, anyway.]

[god setz he is not a comforting person stop being sad in his general direction]

Hey, at least they're aware now. At the rate they were going, I was expecting this Game to end without a single question being asked.

[he's always sad??? he can't help it]

... If we're lucky—well, not you—then more of them will come to you for questions.

My suffering's about the same whether you guys completely fuck up or mildly fuck up.

[... or succeed...? max?]

[Yeah, Setz is pretty sure fuck ups are going to happen.]

I'll take that as permission to encourage them to bother you in the future.
