Yeah. Greed wanted something more... structured.

How well did that work out, would you say?

I don't know. I guess it sped up how many people died. [she rubs her face.] I think it helped in some ways, and harmed in others.

... The executions were still a thing in your round, though, right? Just solo, unlike ours.

They were, for sure, but - it was way more Wild West, you know? If we all thought one person did it, they'd just get roped into some shitty death.

[...] Like with Dean. You saw it.

... Yeah. The thing deciding the executions is pretty creative with the deaths, huh?

Yeah. It knows a lot about all of us, so... it uses it against us. It makes it easier to indulge if you know what people naturally gravitate to.

Ahah. Yeah, I guess not. Sure - uh. What are you looking for?

Well... I'm not really sure. Something that might help us in what's coming up, but it's not like I know what that is either...

[she thinks about it, and then:]

Something defensive or offensive?

[i

don't like choices]

... Offensive?

[i'm laughing

they offer their hand, like always!]

[stop my stress

but he takes it!]

[a flash of warmth runs through him, and it floofs his hair up for a second? kind of like fingers carding through his hair.

and then he'll instinctively know that he has traded Intimidation Check for Power Word: Tsun. If he yells the word baka, he can overwhelm the mind of one creature within range, leaving it dumbfounded for up to a minute. The target can, however, try to save every six seconds.]
