Week 6

[grimgrinningghosts]

[. . . Well last week sure was a bloodbath. A bloody, accidental bloodbath. Even with two groups trying to save you, it might start to feel doubtful that you'll ever get out of here alive. Not to mention that Randy almost killed you all on an angry whim and you're still stuck in this madhouse with him of all people.

But hey, there's a silver lining to every cloud! You get a new floor that's not a nightmarish deathscape! Aren't you glad?

[sorrydoods]

Dude. Don't base your opinions of people on their appearance. Stuff like that is how wars get started.

[Cue Gaston liking that idea in three...two...one...]

[athleticallyinclined]

[ Liftoff. ]

This place could use a good war...

[sorrydoods]

Dude. No.

[He is not in the mood to argue a point like this. Like, at all.]

[athleticallyinclined]

Why not?

[ Why is everyone always so eager to reject his ideas?? ]

Trust me, there's nothing better than a war to build bonds between men. And we already have an enemy!

[sorrydoods]

...okay, if you mean Randy, fine, I guess that might be a good idea, but...you just mean him, right?

Also, he's kind of the kind an enemy that we can't really fight back against, so I'm pretty sure all we can do is try to keep everyone else alive right now.

[athleticallyinclined]

Well...to start with.

[ The Beast can always be a victim of friendly fire, after all. ]

You're only saying that because no one's ever succeeded!

[sorrydoods]

Okay, yeah, that might not actually be so bad, then.

[He was afraid Gaston was thinking about a war between them and all the other captives here...he's not sure why, when he thinks about it.]

I mean, if you wanna try fighting him, I won't stop you, but I'm gonna test my luck against him.

[athleticallyinclined]

It's hardly a war if it's just me!

[ Besides, how can he bravely send others into battle to make the ultimate sacrifice while he commands heroically from the sidelines, if it's just him?? He claps Soos on the back. ]

Where's your fighting spirit?

[sorrydoods]

[Well that's a hand on his shoulder that feels kinda weird.]

It's kind of in the part of my brain that realizes that if a superhero like Kim couldn't defeat the guy, I don't think I'm going succeed either.

[Logic at work!]

[athleticallyinclined]

Not by yourself.

[ Where would these people be without Gaston to explain everything to them?? ]

But if we all work together...

[ by which he means everyone else working together, while he tells all of them what to do. ]

[sorrydoods]

Like I said to Molly before, we might be able to do that, but it would probably...not leave a lot of us left...and then Hades would come in, and...

[And now he's sad. Great pep talk Gaston.]

[athleticallyinclined]

There are always casualties in war.

[ Ideally, casualties that don't include Gaston. ]

Would you rather do nothing, and wait to see which child dies next?

[sorrydoods]

[Gaston, that is a button you do not wanna press.]

The problem is that I don't want any more kids dying, and if we try fighting them, who do you think they'll go after first? The adults then can defend for themselves pretty well, or the kids that can't?

[athleticallyinclined]

[ He's never heard of such a thing.

He shrugs his shoulders, leaning casually back in his chair. ]

Their funeral.
