...I wonder why that isn't an option here.

[she's looking at her phone now, and has the rulebook app pulled up.]

There's no option to imprison someone or let them pay a fine... just Erasure.

[westedge]

...I didn't even think about that. [ he should have, maybe, since he's the one who brought it up, but it hadn't occurred to him. ] Maybe for some reason they can't keep us imprisoned somewhere because of what we are.

[dendroculi]

...it's possible.

[she frowns.]

Though they're doing a good enough job keeping us contained to one space with those barriers...

[westedge]

...also true. [ well now he really doesn't know. ] It could be that it's just another easy way to thin the competition. We don't know yet.

[dendroculi]

...well, I imagine we'll learn more about it when the time comes.

[westedge]

The reapers will be there. We can figure out the questions we want to ask them for tomorrow and...maybe just go from there.

[dendroculi]

[she nods]

That's a good plan.

[westedge]

[ he nods back. ]

...this is going to probably be a dumb question, but...are you okay?

[dendroculi]

...I'm not injured.

[it's the closest she can get to saying "i'm okay"]

[westedge]

That's a start. [ he gets it. ] ...sorry it happened to you guys first.

[dendroculi]

...I am, too.

[she sighs.]

It's... disappointing. But it's what we have to work with, so... we'll get to work, tomorrow.

[westedge]

Tomorrow. [ repeating it. ] It doesn't have to be today, so...don't feel like you have to worry about much else until then.

[ i.e. she can be sad if she wants. or do whatever she wants to process it. ]

[dendroculi]

...thanks, Jonas. I'll try to get some rest tonight so I can do my best tomorrow.

[lol.]
