Usually a game played between two teams. You establish two territories, and both have to try to defend a flag placed within their own territory while attempting to steal the opponent's flag.
It might be a little difficult with only two people, though...

[hmm. well, it is relatively early on in their time here. maybe they'll discover more secrets the longer this goes on.
(not that she wants this to go on for very long...)]
...ah, well, I am. Truth be told, I think I would rather stay comfortable than get up and try to move.

More than half our number was to die in the span of two weeks. There were... a lot of bodies, each trial.

...oh... yes, I suppose that it might.
[wait]
Although, perhaps we could play it as a group!

If you insist. You know your limits better than me, after all.
[ and for analyzing the break-ins, well, it's not like they have much to cross reference with at this point, so they'll probably have to table that for now... ]
... since you said you would rather not sleep, is there anything you'd like to talk about?

... Hm. It might be possible, but you'd need to assemble teams... who do you even think would be willing to join in?
[ looks at some of the brooding linefaces. beat. ]
Maybe if we framed it as a training exercise in coordination, infiltration, and formations...

[fuck if she knows, she was only alive for a single trial]
I suppose it did help that we did not have the possibility of powers to get distracted by.

...I do not know. My thoughts are...
[she sighs heavily]
It is difficult to order them. I feel as though I am thinking in circles, while also not thinking much of anything at all. Sleep will not come easily to me - but I fear that conversation will not, either.

That may work! Even the most serious are more likely to join if you present it in that way.
...and, with us unable to confirm each of our powers... even if we manage to narrow down a type of power that was used, tying it to a person would be more difficult.
[flayn looks unhappy! but, like, who isn't? a man is dead.
she also seems to be deep in thought as she walks back from the lake. hopefully 45 is paying attention to who's in front of her, because uh, flayn isn't.]

[ no, she's entirely zonked out from breakin nonsense so down they go
i wish, but no, 45 will politely sidestep and follow along, since it seems they're headed in the same direction. though, she does seem ... as tired as a roomba ever seems to get, i suppose.
her smile does seem a lot more wan than usual, though. ]
You seem troubled.

[she looks up, then absentmindedly reaches over to pat 45 on the head]
Well... yes. I suppose we should all be accustomed to... the way the weeks end by now, but. [ugh.] ...you seem weary, 45.

It happened. We might as well deal with it. And if the information is useful to other groups, it can only be beneficial.
[ ... ]
That said, I don't think we were all prepared to deal with something quite so personal in nature. Not from what we'd heard beforehand.

...personal?
[well, that's worrying. flayn's voice is gentle - she doesn't want to pry, but if 45 is prepared to talk about it, she'll certainly listen.]

Yes. They seemed particularly targeted compared to anything else I'd heard about previously ... individually so. Not just because of the games and locations we came from.
If I didn't know better I'd think it was specifically trying to dig at old wounds.
[ but honestly, remnants or not, she still doesn't actually put it past this place. ]

[oh, rude. that sounds absolutely horrifying.]
...I am so sorry to hear that. It must have been difficult.

It happened. We'll deal with it and keep moving forward. I won't speak of the matters that pertained specifically to the others I was with, not without knowing that they are fine with it being shared-
[ but given tonbokiri and minako's general reactions to the others on the mingle, they probably are also clamming the fuck up.
she gestures dismissively as they make their way back, though flayn will probably note that her tone and expression have remained flat the entire time they've been walking. ]
-but I, personally, would be perfectly fine if I wasn't made to kill any more defective copies of my sister again for the rest of our stay here.

[oh.
bad.
very bad indeed. killing family members is never a good time (remembers ogata) ...almost never a good time.]
That... [she sounds horrified] You were made to do something like that...? What purpose could that possibly have served?
[these residuals can get fucked.]

Like I said, old wounds, mixed in and remade with some newer memories just so things don't get too stale. ♪
[ no, she has an idea of what that entire excursion was about, but, haha- no. ]
Part of what allowed us to pass from room to room was, I assume, meant to be some form of getting past whatever past experiences and traumas the place decided to unpack.
[ when she says 'experiences and traumas' it sounds very much like she's quoting someone else, hm. ]
Shame that actively hostile conditions aren't exactly the best time for any form of half-assed, would-be therapy sessions.

[wow, rude. the residuals are not licensed therapists; they didn't have any right to be unpacking traumas for them.]
No, it most certainly sounds like they would not be...
