It was a thought, considering the kind of people who agreed to come. That's why we put it in the welcome guide as a just in case.

[aubins]

I mean, it didn't surprise me, but I kind of feel more people thought about it because it was in the welcome guide.

[probe]

I doubt it. [they frown.] People are going to do whatever it takes to survive and get what they came for. Even if we didn't mention it, there'd be people who would ask.

[aubins]

[ he waggles a hand. ]

Some people seem surprised by the idea. I fully believe it would've happened, I just... thought it might not be for a few weeks, at least. [ of course there was a KILLER ROBOT so. ]

[probe]

I was sort of hoping for the same, but...some people got a head start really early. I still feel pretty bad about Tamaki and Beau.

[aubins]

Well, yeah. Neither of them deserved what happened to them.

[probe]

Does anyone really deserve it? [...] Except maybe the really dangerous people.

[aubins]

No. But that doesn't stop it from happening.

[ ... ]

Yeah, I mean. Fair. Dangerous people who use the fact they're dangerous for nefarious purposes.

[probe]

Now that HK-47's been voted for, it's gonna be harder to see who else might be dangerous and nefarious.

[aubins]

It might be better the obvious target's been voted for in the first place. There's only so long we could be sat around pretending the robot calling us meatbags wasn't a legitimate culprit.

It won't stop people from choosing to kill, but it might stop one extra death from happening weekly.

[probe]

Exactly. It was only gonna be a matter of time before something worse happened, especially when he was already talking about shooting Mr. Enomoto and stuff.

And maybe if one threat's gone...everybody else will stop, too.

[aubins]

...

[ he just. pats lust's hood. ]

That'd be nice if it happens.

[probe]

[he may feel something a little stuff under his hand. weird.]

You don't think it will, do you.

[aubins]

[ weird! ]

I think the boulder's already halfway down the hill at this point, Lust. Once it starts rolling, stopping it is difficult. You can only really try and minimise the damages.

[probe]

[that should have said stiff, oh well.]

But even then a bunch of people are gonna get run over before it stops. ...I know you know all this, but it still sucks.

[aubins]

[ lust your nubby homestuck horns. ]

That's why it's a case of minimising the damage, if we can't stop it.

[probe]

[nyaaa]

...can it wait until tomorrow?

[aubins]

Talking about it or starting to try and minimise stuff?

I really don't think anyone's in the mood for anything much this evening.

[ lust your nubby lil' kittyphones. ]

[probe]

Mm...both! I'd rather just sit and look at the stars with you for a while.

[gross.]

[aubins]

[ nyanyan.... nya nya nya nyaaaaaan. ]

That sounds like a good plan to me.
