open; Tuesday evening; cafeteria

[tevinteriscoming]

[So you decided to come to this spontaneous gathering. Not Dorian's gathering, mind. He's not leading this, it was just a suggestion some people made and one of those people who made it was Dorian.

But nonetheless, you are here, in the cafeteria, at the time suggested by Dorian.]

Speaking of assholes being murderers - I think it might be a good idea to set up night patrols. Make sure people are staying in their rooms at night after a certain time maybe?

I hate curfews as much as the next guy, but I also hate people killing each other for shitty reasons.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

The people who have the AI's protection would be the best choice for that. Who were they, again? Dorian, Jessie and Jason?

[Hmmmm...]

Jessie won't do it. It'd be a waste of time to ask her.

[isodope]

Yeah, good thinking there. Those three aren't "allowed" to get hurt.

[And he has no idea how the hell that will be enforced, or how legitimate it is, but if those three are willing to go for it then by all means.]

What makes you think Jessie won't?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Do you really think Jessie is the type of person that would stay awake for longer than necessary, even if it is to protect other people?

[Shelley likes Jessie and all, but it isn't like she is blind to that woman's flaws]

I bet she'd shirk the task by saying something like 'but I need my beauty sleep!' or something like that.

[isodope]

She can be a bit self-centered, but I wouldn't write her off. Maybe we can give her extra incentive. Like promising not to kill her Arbok.

[No one would go on trial for killing that thing right??]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

...okay...

[Sigh]

I guess I could try to ask her, then. I don't expect it to work, but I'll try.

[Without threatening to kill the giant snake. Somehow Shelley doesn't think that will be of much help on the 'convince Jessie' department]

[isodope]

[Whatever gets the job done, okay. Giant snakes are fucking creepy anyway.]

Thanks Shell. Even without Jessie though, I'm sure Dorian and Jason could handle it. I'd be willing to volunteer for third guard. Anyone who comes after me better be fucking ready for a fight.

[toprotecttheworld]

Arbok is immune as well, you know. I asked, and I can hear both of you. So if you want to kill Arbok, those annoying robots will stop you. Not that any of you ever could.

[isodope]

It was just a joke! I love...well, ok I don't love animals because they pretty much all want to kill me. I look like beef jerky to them.

But seriously, will you offer yourself up to guard?

[toprotecttheworld]

Of course I would! That was my plan from the very beginning. The last thing I need is to be a suspect again. Besides, now that you all know about Arbok, I want to stretch his lack-of-legs whenever I can. It has nothing to do with any of you, of course.

[tevinteriscoming]

That's a clever idea. I'd be happy to lend a hand.

[toprotecttheworld]

I'm all for it. Anything to throw off the game they're expecting us to play sounds like a great time to me.

[tevinteriscoming]

And what luck, I believe I still owe you a dinner. Perhaps we'll dine by candlelight whilst foiling a deadly plot.

[thanatosincarnate]

Interesting idea. I've thought about it before.

{ He discussed it even, at one point, with someone else. }

On one hand, even a patrol wouldn't be guaranteed to be perfect. An item on that tool list is a cloaking device, to start off with. Not to mention that all-access card.

On another, it could deter a murderer, but unlikely if they're desperate enough to try in the first place.

[isodope]

And that mystery box. Whatever the hell it does.

[Ugh, he hates secret surprises that he isn't in on.]

It may not be perfect, but it would give them trouble. Maybe help make alibis a little harder to fake.

[thanatosincarnate]

We could always take wild guesses until we find out.

{ Right? Those are the worst. }

Let's see how it goes, then.

{ Hopefully it will work out someway -- but he's a little too cynical to honestly believe that. }

[hatslinger]

I'm willing to help. I'm locked and loaded if anyone tries anything funny.

[ she'll leave out the fact that her gun isn't particularly powerful, but it could get the job done regardless. ]

[isodope]

Man, you're lucky. Wish I had my shotgun on me. [To...protect people...of course...] Just try not to aim for the vitals.

[hatslinger]

My gun doesn't work like that anyway.

[ she'll discreetly slip it out of her sleeve to let hancock see. he'll notice it's attached to a device in her jacket. ]

When I shoot, I've got three options. They're all elemental and have a different effect. So I'll just gently melt their faces off. [ wait, fuck ] —Uh, sorry, not that there's anything wrong with having a melted face? It just might hurt a little?

[isodope]

[He just snerks at how quick she rebounds, not even insulted.]

Yeah, I bet it would. Not that I would know, since my face isn't melted at all. Just irradiated and decayed.

[hatslinger]

Riiight.

[ the true mystery is when will fiona accidentally offend hancock ]

Anyway, I think if we have one or two people for each day of the week, we should be good. There's only one way out of the rooming quarters.

[bloodbiter]

I also think it might be wise to try to stay around at least one person you trust at times you aren't in your room, if I may make a suggestion to everyone here.

[isodope]

Rules do say three people can stay together in a single room, so long as that room belongs to one of them. Not very comfy, getting all cramped in together, but beats getting killed.

[bloodbiter]

Even seeing a group of people together outside of a bedroom during the day would be enough to deter a murderer, I should think.

[douchemag]

You want someone out on patrol all night? Won't that just make them extra vulnerable to getting offed? Tired people don't fight back as well, especially if they're alone.
