the coffee was fine

( but the anger hasn't subsided and it won't until he tears into matt jamison for what he did to him. )

but i'm over this game

You and me both.

Seems like a lot of hail mary accusations getting thrown around at the last minute there - plenty unwarranted. Including yours.

if i'd known that i was going to get outed as a witch today, i would have dressed better for the occasion

Listen...you can tell me to fuck off and I won't take it personally. Unless you want me to.

Getting outed like that - I spent the last two years of my life watching it ruin people's lives. Maybe not over witchcraft or spellbooks - but over who they loved. Who they are at their core.

[mccarthy era lavender scare trauma has entered the chat.]

I watched people I thought were - maybe not decent human beings, but passably civilized tear each other apart like they did last night every day. Pointing fingers, making accusations. Their words had power; most of the condemned ended up dead.

But it's different here. This game wants us to do the same thing now - to be afraid of the unknown, to accuse the "other".

You don't owe anyone a goddamn thing, especially not Matt Jamison.

Don't let it eat you from the inside out.

For the record - I'm gayer than a two-dollar bill in case it wasn't clear.

yea, i think you got the point across

[...]

thanks fuller
you didn't have to share all of that with me, but i appreciate it ( he genuinely does. )

where i'm from, the existence of my kind isn't public knowledge
it's practically unfathomable for a witch to expose another without their permission
no matter the circumstances

but jamison's a fucking different breed isn't he? ( traitorous bitch. )

this game has barely started
i'd watch out for him if i were you
he seems too eager to pin blame on just about anyone

No one deserves it happening like that. What he did - it was wrong. Whether he realized the severity of it or not. As for the rest of it - that lack of conviction just ends up getting people killed.

But you're welcome. And I'm the one who's got to thank you now: for supporting Tim. And for what you did bringing Rhaenyra back. So much for sitting this out, huh?

I don't think Matt's really the one you'll have to worry about from here on out though. We've got to be strategic about this.

i didn't resurrect rhaenyra out of the kindness of my heart

you can thank the game for that one

[...]

if you want to talk strategy though, does that mean you're offering to watch my back, doc?

What, they put a gun to your head or something? Kidding.

Ah, caught that one did you?

I like you, Pierce. Told you that from day one. Least I can do is put my money where my mouth is.

I gotcha.

( don't be so sincere with him, hawk. he doesn't know how to deal with it. )

then you have my thanks

[...]

i'm trusting you to keep your word
so i'll clue you in on the plan green team's cookin up for me
they're faking my death to throw the werewolves off

i don't think it's going to work but i've agreed to go along with it
so don't be too heartbroken over impending news of my death

well
not too heartbroken anyway

Looks like it worked.

What're you doing to celebrate? Something tells me being "dead" is pretty boring around here.

Feels like things are winding down towards - some sort of conclusion. I just can't shake the feeling there's still something we're missing, you know?

( he doesn't have much cause for celebration, since the latest resurrection has added a huge magical burden for him to deal with. :')

still, hawk isn't wrong about him growing bored of playing possum. )

it seems like you have more to celebrate ( deflection bby )
interesting how moore just came back to life like that

( something worth experimenting with later on. )

it would be anticlimactic for this game to just end with the last werewolf caught
what are you thinking?

[uh oh spaghetti-o.]

Well, show me yours and I'll show you mine. [can't bullshit a bullshitter pierce baby!!]

I didn't think that was one of you. So do you suppose it applies to all deaths around here?

[asking for a friend. the friend is himself. and danny johnson.]

That's the thing - I don't think we got 'em all. I think this last round threw in the copycats to muddy the water and make it harder to weed out the real deal. The tributes, the Butler profiles, it's like they're mocking the clues we've had.

What do I know. Maybe they really are just gonna throw us a goddamn party and call it a fucking night.

( you're better off not hearing about his drama, hawk. )

there's only one way to find out ( :) )

the real deal is the ever present malignant energy we've been feeding
this game otoh has a time limit
either one of the teams win or the werewolves win, if we don't manage to catch them all

a party or an orgy or some other generic soirée is going to happen one way or another
it's the only constant in this house
a little overdone imo
