"Generally". Certainly that means with some exceptions, you can, if you so choose to!

Because we are an incredibly fickle group, and no one wants to accept their loved ones dying whether or not they volunteered.
That said, the fact that the vote landed on someone who didn't even volunteer themselves speaks greatly of the power of saying things that people don't want to hear only a few minutes before our time limit.

...no one ought to die for saying something, even if it was unpleasant.
[even if it was really unpleasant. flayn isn't sure if kara himself realizes just how unpleasant it was, but she's not anywhere near close enough to him to say so.]

It is true that we have difficulty coordinating, but I would hope that defeating that thing would be something we could all agree needs to happen.
Perhaps I could be a source of information for you! You never know.

is she going to look back on this and giggle when 45 gets invited to the pizza party? maybe.]

But his saying something is likely a strong factor in what tipped things over the edge. Most likely at least a few people voted for him thinking, "I don't want to do any of this, I'm throwing away my vote, but fuck that guy, he's an Arschloch."
[ actions have consequences etc etc ]
And frankly, Flayn, when it comes to these ends of weeks we go through I don't think anyone's top priority has ever really been whether or not things are fair.

[ she thinks this like 45 didn't already suspect her and about half of pizza party, the ones she went to right after the trial or later in the weekend, it's adorable... ]
No, I suppose I won't. Oh well. And here I thought you were asking about personal gossip.

...perhaps it has not been anyone's priority, but it ought to be. We are all caught here together, so why is it so difficult for us to set aside our squabbles with one another and just cooperate for a better end?
[no one has every accused flayn of being smart.]
I would not be opposed to sharing that, either. We have to start somewhere, do we not?

See, that's the problem. We all talk a lot about that sort of thing, but it's performative and self-congratulatory. At the end of the day I think as long as the people who would rather protect their own first don't admit it even to themselves, we're going to keep running into this.
We must find a way to make it less performative, then. We need to actually do it.
[flayn is tired,]

I... do not know. Perhaps if we could all get to talking, and could somehow get on the same page as to what our goals are...?
[flayn frowns]
Although, to be quite honest, I do not feel like there is anyone here who wants anything other than for us to find a way out of this situation, so I would have thought it would be easier for us all to cooperate already...

What is the most interesting piece of personal gossip you have heard about someone since we arrived?
Haha. Well, I suppose it makes us a great case study in proving that simply having a shared enemy alone doesn't necessarily make for any form of camaraderie or true cooperation, let alone coordination.
I think we've all been clear on the fact that all of us want to get out of here with as little bloodshed as possible. Of course, we put a very different amount of value on each individual life here, and no one's going to agree on how much each is worth. Certainly you can rationalize it away as much as you like by saying they were necessary sacrifices, but at the end of the day people are going to resent that some people were chosen to die over others. As long as we have those individual interests and feelings, it's going to be difficult.
[ truly, this is a game where only the friendless losers dying would have been accepted. ]

It is only natural not to want to lose someone you are close to... I certainly cannot blame anyone who is upset by that.
[...but, honestly, she hopes they'll be able to get their act together so that the loss is only temporary, rather than permanent. from the sound of it, with the exception of the thots, they'd all managed to do that before.
it would be soul-crushing if they're not able to do it again.]
...I suppose this was never meant to be easy.

You think?
[ that's
unfortunately that's all there is up this tag. 45's of the opinion if getting their acts together is something they would, could have done, there would be progress by now.
instead it's much more likely that everyone's split further down the lines of us and them by now, especially given those targeted. ]
