Day 4

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ Good morning!

Once again, Arataka Reigen has won immunity, because, I mean. Seriously. His work has been printed up at poster size and hung up around various parts of the studio. You might even catch it happening; a chunk of the wall will dislodge itself, spin 360 degrees, and then blend seamlessly back into place, now with the poster on it.

For everyone who participated in the logo contest, you may select a free Blu-Ray to be delivered to your dressing room. There's a wide selection; you can pick something from your own world or something from an alternate universe. You may have accidentally picked something from an alternate universe. Enjoy finding out as you watch them!

[also just. sort of. quietly runs his hands up into his hair and tugs on the green strands.]

If I get back...

[dragonsated]

Play your cards correctly, and you will be fine. Death is not a foregone conclusion in a game where a life is spared with each vote.

[bootyninja]

I'm not talking about that part. I mean. If I get back, then what?

[dragonsated]

Armed with what I have told you, perhaps...

[Hanzo hesitates, stops. 'Maybe you could change your fate' both sounds too much like the childish, wishful thinking Genji would indulge in, and it would be the same as openly admitting Hanzo regrets what he did. Something he's far too proud to do. So he changes tack abruptly--]

I do not know. That is something to consider when you leave this place.

[bootyninja]

[Genji shakes his head.]

Would the family just let me leave? Like, seriously? Would you? Without trying to drag me back or...

[dragonsated]

If you tried to leave, I do not doubt I would try to drag you back. If you escaped regardless, it is likely they would do to you as they did to me, sending countless assassins after you for your desertion.

[bootyninja]

Yeah, that's kind of what I always figured.

[dragonsated]

It has been little challenge for me. That is to be expected, when they are hunting down their finest warrior with lesser individuals.

You, on the other hand, may find such a life to be more difficult.

[bootyninja]

A life on the lamb sounds like a pain in the ass, and if I have to fight anyway, why not take the fight to them?

[dragonsated]

Then you would be repeating history, if you were to challenge me.

[bootyninja]

And Hanzo fucking Shimada would never even think of betraying the family. Just me.

[dragonsated]

[Gets abruptly to his feet, as if this is his cue to leave before this becomes another argument.]

I cannot change who I was.

[bootyninja]

God, you were there Hanzo.

[what did you say about not wanting to fight, bro. Genji drags himself out of the hammock.]

Are you seriously telling me you can't think of any other way? You try to kill me, no matter what?

[dragonsated]

...Yes. [The answer is reluctant, heavy with shame and self-loathing.] Bringing the fight to the them would only worsen your situation, not improve it, because it would become my duty to fight you to protect the clan.

Do you understand? Fleeing is the only recourse left to you. The family would disown you, but you would at least escape with your life.

[bootyninja]

Yeah, because leaving all my friends and spending the rest of my life keeping a low profile so my family doesn't kill me is such a great life. Can't imagine why I didn't think of it sooner.

[dragonsated]

There is truly no reasoning with you. Do you still think you can cling to your old life forever, after all the warnings I have given you?

[bootyninja]

I'm the one who can't be reasoned with? You're saying you'll either kill me or try to kill me for living my own fucking life, Hanzo!

[dragonsated]

And I have told you, I cannot change who I was! I can only warn you of what is to come. If you insist on foolish ideas like challenging the clan alone, the past is doomed to repeat itself.

[SERIOUSLY DOES NOT WANT TO KEEP ARGUING so he's just gonna. turn to storm out the set >(]
