...define "easy".

[diluvian]

Clean, neat, deducible in less than nine hours.

[ she is practical and isn't delusional, but she can still want something. ]

[dendroculi]

[nahida wonders if that might edge too close to just providing the answer...]

It would be nice if it would be that way. I guess we'll have to wait and see if the next person to do it is more considerate.

[diluvian]

[ lambda is thinking she'll be annoyed by a stupid murder but she'd be even more annoyed to be trapped in mcdonald's for nine hours, so as long as the murderer is also stupid, it's fine. ]

I'll take stupid, too.

[dendroculi]

...that would be much easier.

[diluvian]

It'd be a more ideal outcome.

[ as if anything about a life or death game could be ideal. ]

[dendroculi]

Yes...

[sighs]

While the most ideal outcome would be it doesn't happen again at all, I don't think that's likely. So we'll just have to be prepared to face it once it does, even if it's not as clear-cut as we'd like.

[diluvian]

Once it starts, it's hard to stop until it's over.

[ after all, they don't know the exact kind of lead killing gives, but with the reapers saying it's a big enough of one, if someone wants to win.... ]

I don't prescribe to optimism, but I don't shy away from something simply because it's not easy.

[dendroculi]

...right. Depending on just how much of a disadvantage the points difference leaves the other teams at...

[people really might have no choice but to kill again to give themselves a fighting chance...

she doesn't like the thought of that at all, honestly, but it's the most likely outcome here.]

[diluvian]

It could encourage behavior to decrease what point gap there is.

[ killing behavior. ]

I'm expecting it.

[dendroculi]

[she sighs.]

...I am, too, though I'm also dreading it.

[diluvian]

You're not alone in that.

[dendroculi]

...

[she sighs]

We'll just have to face it as it comes.
