Hah... Yes, I do worry about clarity in the future. We kept getting lucky with incriminating footprints, shoe prints and trails on the boat, too.
[He's worried about that luck running out.]
Especially given the implication that murders will continue to happen without the influence of corruption, possession or anything of the sort. I can only imagine it'll be like the situations where the group or individuals within it were given ultimatums. I would hope that by now, we'd know better than to trust any promise or threat, but...
I would hope so, too. I cannot fault anyone for believing it the first time, but...
[She sighs.]
Why would anyone play along, especially now that we have ended up in this situation? Our passage home could simply bring us to yet another place like this.
[A pause.]
Although... our hosts do seem genuine when they say they did not want for this to happen.
[SMILING. He just STILL DOESN'T TRUST THEM. He'll never not be wary. It'll be week 8 and the NPCs will be merrily sending them off and he'll still be pointing at his eyes and pointing at them.
Anyway, for the rest of that--]
That's why I hope we won't see anyone act rashly. Granted, whatever is running the show now probably knows that we won't cave so easily to the sort of promises other people faced the first time around.
...yes. If they know what did and did not manage to compel people to act in the places we came from... [hmm. bad. it's potentially not just them that has experience with this.] At any rate, we must be on our guard.
Mmmhm. Not much we can do about guaranteeing other people won't kill.
[Honestly if what he's remembering from the boat is right, along with what he's heard from some other people, it's not like they can do much to protect people from being killed either... Still.]
If we do what we can on Thursday nights, we may stand a chance of pulling through with as few deaths as possible.
[She would prefer that there be no deaths whatsoever, rather than just seeking to minimize the numbers - but they've passed the point where that's possible, haven't they?]
Yes. I am not yet certain what it will be possible for us to do on those nights, but... we must do whatever we can. We must at least try.

I assume the structure won't change too much from what we experienced this week, if at all. We can build from that, at least.

[Thanks he hates it.]
Granted, they've been a little more hands-on with changing the rules this time around. Not by much, though.
no subject
This all seems more... organized.
no subject
Was that the only rule you had at all?
no subject
[...]
Ah, we fell asleep at a certain time later on in the week, but that was simply something that happened rather than a rule that we were made to follow.
no subject
[A nod... He's heard that as a recurring theme, yes, bad, thanks he hates it.]
Shows us one thing, at least! No matter how many or how few rules you have, it's a miserable situation.

[wwx your fuck boat,,,]

Haha, even among the unlucky there are those with particularly poor fortune, hm? ...Let's hope we have fewer of those here.

[honestly as long as none of next week's tasks are "go get laid" they're already doing pretty well.]
no subject
Take care in the meantime, yes? And-- [he almost said rest up but swerves at the last second with:] -don't forget to eat something, when you can.
no subject
...You as well. [she smiles faintly] Thank you, Wei Wuxian.
no subject
Think nothing of it, friend.
[Now he's gotta go keep Evan company before he fuckin dies, BYEEE.]
