Week 8

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Thanks to Freddie, it seems as though you’ve dealt your first, honest blow to Randall. Truly a fitting end to the Randall Rech Zone. Sadly, you’re still stuck here, but something inside you is nagging at you to keep your head up. This late in the game, nobody has to be willing to resort to murder.

...Right?

Then-then why do you even like her?! If she dozen't like you, th-*hic*-en why don't you just go for sum other girl? One that a-actually likes you?

[Seriously, why bother??]

[athleticallyinclined]

Some other girl?

[ Soos, have some self-respect. ]

That would be...giving up! Admitting defeat!

[ He bangs a fist on the bar. ]

The only way to win is to win her over!

[sorrydoods]

W-ell, which do you prefer? Being in a nice relashonship with someone, or losing a gerl that doezn't even like you?

[athleticallyinclined]

[ Soos are you okay.

He squints as if he's trying very hard to understand. ]

You mean...settling for second best?

[sorrydoods]

[He's drunk as fuck, what do you expect]

Well, kinda, I guess? At least stop going for a girl that-that hates your guts...

[athleticallyinclined]

Wouldn't it be better to keep trying?

Think how satisfying it'll be when she finally gives in!

[sorrydoods]

Well, maybe, but do you really think she evr will? Like, if you reallllly think so, I guess you could ceep trying, but, if not...it'd be the easier thing. Plus, less annoying.

[athleticallyinclined]

[ He scowls. This is not what he wants to hear. ]

There must be some way to change her mind.

Locking up her father in an asylum didn't work...

[sorrydoods]

...please tell me your joking.

[what the FUCK gaston]

[athleticallyinclined]

Why would I joke about something like this?

[ He is 100% serious. ]

[sorrydoods]

Why would you think that'd help you?! That's-that's like trying to become friends with someone buy punching them in the kidneys!

[athleticallyinclined]

...That doesn't work?

[ WELL THAT EXPLAINS A LOT ]

[sorrydoods]

...NO!!!

I mean, unless they're the kind a' person that likes stuff like that, but most people don't!!

[It's explaining kindness to him all over again.]

[athleticallyinclined]

[ PONDERS ]

Do you?

[sorrydoods]

No.

[please don't try it right now]

[athleticallyinclined]

Hmm.

[ scratch that off the to-do list ]

Then what does work?

[ You allegedly have multiple friends, Soos, you should know. ]

[sorrydoods]

Being nice to people!

We talked about this for, like...an hour or something, dood. D-did you forget alll of that?

[athleticallyinclined]

[ Gaston gives a long-suffering sigh and rolls his eyes. ]

And I tried! For at least an hour! A day!

It didn't work.

[sorrydoods]

Then...try in different ways. Don't do stuff like-like complementing people for killing a lot of people, or killing someone you don't like.

Maybe...get to know them and figure out what they'd prefer to hear.

[athleticallyinclined]

Sounds pathetic.

[ And like a lot of work. Getting to know people?? ]

Shouldn't they be glad to get any compliment from me?

[sorrydoods]

Dude, I 'unno how importan' you are back home, but here, yure just the guy that's complimented people for killing others and others stuff no'ne want's to hear.

No one really wants compliments from that guy.

[athleticallyinclined]

[ Gaston gasps in shock. No, this...this can't be true. ]

I'm not that guy!

I'm the guy who makes fun of that guy. I'm the guy that guy wishes he could be!

[sorrydoods]

Maybe back home, but not here. Here, you're the guy that gets jokes made about them and stuff because no one likes the guy that throws parties celebrating someone they don't like dying.

[athleticallyinclined]

[ ...Yeah, he knows.

He deflates a little bit. ]

But why?

Back home, everyone loves me! They do whatever I say!

Why isn't it like that here?

[sorrydoods]

Because you do stuff like compliment people for murder! No one here really wants to hear that! We wanna try and stay calm and not murder anyone, even if it seems like they might deserve it.

A-are you starting to understand?
