It is not the game as it is his shaken confidence I take offense to.

[wildnight]

Can it be called confidence if it's so fragile?

[trickor]

His past experience with a similar game involved him and his partner losing their arms. Painfully.

[wildnight]

That explains his reaction.

[runstowardsfire]

Put it this way, if I ever go, "I get triggered by people accusing me of murder", you'll know that I've lost my mind or I'm acting.

[runstowardsfire]

Right about what?

[meteorstorm]

Good to know. And if I say it, you'll know I'm telling the truth.

[trickor]

[sharp:]

Yes.

[wildnight]

Your opinions.

[runstowardsfire]

I think that might vary across worlds. So the things that apply where I live don't apply where I live now.

[runstowardsfire]

You've been accused of murder?

[meteorstorm]

Let's just say I suspected you because I know all too well the art of playing nice to throw off suspicion.

[runstowardsfire]

. . . You thought that was me being nice?

[Maybe two years at camp did sand down a few prickly bits . . .]

[meteorstorm]

[ nice is relative when you're already a jerk ]

Mostly cooperative, then.

[runstowardsfire]

But I've played the game before. There's no point in letting new people have the wrong impression of the game because that's not fair.

[wildnight]

And will the Captain look for revenge.

[meteorstorm]

It puts you a step ahead of some people.

[trickor]

No. He is too good for that.

[wildnight]

And you?

[trickor]

We have left this game, but for our pride, unhurt.

[wildnight]

That is more than players in other games could say.

[trickor]

If he had been hurt, however...

[captainkink]

Hey, I was right and you were wrong.

[wildnight]

I am sure you would try.

[runstowardsfire]

Yes, it might.

I wish people would listen though--it could be very much worse.
