It is not uncommon for guests to believe us responsible for their plight, sir.

[survivaltricks]

[i can't believe this is why the mods wanted us to kill a furry]

That's. . . fair.

[but now he looks sympathetic]

I'm glad no one in this round tried something that stupid.

[cluedin]

Yes. You all seemed to calm down fairly quickly after your first bout of violence.

[survivaltricks]

It's because we like you guys.

[that's Akira's reason, anyway]

[cluedin]

If you say so, sir.

[ presses x! to doubt!!! ]

[survivaltricks]

You don't believe me?

[he hears that x!!!]

[cluedin]

I do not believe you speak for all the guests.

[survivaltricks]

No, but I speak for enough that I'm confident in saying "we."

[cluedin]

[ she shakes her head ]

If you are aiming to represent all the guests, sir, I would suggest starting with being more careful in the future.

[ leg... soul ... what else will akira lose, ]

[survivaltricks]

That--

[uuuuuh]

That's a fair reprimand, all things considered.

[cluedin]

I know.

[ STARES ]

[survivaltricks]

[LOOK. . .]

. . . it's only a little bit of my soul.

[cluedin]

[ bitch. ]

[survivaltricks]

[LOOK]

Sorry, sorry. I'm sorry.

[he sounds sincere :(]

I'm not going to do anything dangerous again. I think my days on the front lines are over.

[cluedin]

[ hmm... ]

Yet your fight isn't. Since you've taken it upon yourself, haven't you?

[survivaltricks]

[oh]

[he blinks a few times, before he nods]

I-- huh.

[well. when she puts it that way!!]

I have. And that's not something I'm giving up on.

[cluedin]

Yes... You are as stubborn as the Master in that way.

[ she tilts her head ]

It holds a part of you, right now. You truly are playing against a stacked decked, sir.

[survivaltricks]

[a little wry]

I'm used to the odds being against me.

[tilts his head right back at her, but in the opposite direction]

What does it holding a piece of me mean now, anyway?

[cluedin]

Nothing good, I'm afraid.

[ just. outright. ]

[survivaltricks]

[that'd be ominous except for. . .]

I kind of figured that.

I was hoping you'd have more specifics.

[cluedin]

I can say with certainty it will not aid in your plans of escape, sir.

[ dryly. it owns you!!! ]

[survivaltricks]

[DON'T LIKE!!]

Iiiis there any way for me to get it back?

[cluedin]

[ there's a beat. well. hm. ]

... I suppose you could always attempt to steal it back?

[survivaltricks]

You suppose?

[a lightly amused huff]

You saw my calling card, right?

[cluedin]

[ yea that's why she made the joke ]

Yes. And since you've already committed to stealing its heart...
