[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ Did everybody sleep well? At promptly 6 AM, or at least what the tablets proclaim to be 6 AM, Ronald bursts in with the morning announcements. ]

Good morning, kids! Today we have a fantastic new game for you to play, and we think you'll have a lot of fun! It's fun, it's a classic, iiiiiiiiit's



[ The feed switches off, but only for a second before flicking back on so Ronald can add: ]

Oh, by the way, Seven died trying to escape.

[manuscripture]

[ he's not about to judge. ]

Do you have any children? I'm just curious.

[refusedtoleave]

Yes, a daughter. She not a lot younger than you actually.

[manuscripture]

You don't look like you are old enough to have a kid my age. [ He's honest. ] What's her name?

[refusedtoleave]

Jessica, she's 18. [Beaming.]

[manuscripture]

Only two years younger than me. Very nice. I'm sure you're a wonderful mother too. Let's try getting you home then, okay?

I will do a dare next if you think of one.

[refusedtoleave]

[All these complements, and it isn't on the a bingo this time. She's never been so appreciated.]

...You look strong... I dare you to give someone a piggyback ride.

[Not terribly difficult for him, but it could be five points.]

[manuscripture]

[ really natsuhi. ]

... This isn't my thing. [ physical contact????? GROSS, YALL ]

Here. Let's just. Do you. [ wryly and hoping that nobody sees. ]

[refusedtoleave]

[It sounded easy in her head. But she has made a horrible mistake.]

I can pick a different one?

[I don't believe they're both bad-joke and physical-contact-is-bad buddies.]

[manuscripture]

[ No, we're chasing this feeling. ]

Honestly, I need all of the points I can get. I don't want to do it but really...?

... Just hop on.

[ Save Rohan and Natsuhi. ]

[refusedtoleave]

Is that a dare?

[If she's doing this then she's getting points as well!]

[manuscripture]

We'll suffer together. It's a dare.

[ Big points at least. ]

[refusedtoleave]

[At least she's wearing trousers for this. Even if the prefers her skirt, the fabric is thicker than her tights.]

Okay...[Such enthusiasm as she shuffles a bit closer.]

[manuscripture]

[ They're both as excited as they are going to get.

Rohan awkwardly crouches because he is SO TALL for this. ]

I'm only walking a couple of steps. I can't do this for long.

I have, uh. Arthritis. [ no he doesnt ]

[refusedtoleave]

[She'll expect that.]

I don't like being of the ground. My husband picked me up to prove he could do it and...

[He could, he nearly went deaf for it.

How is she supposed to do this exactly? She's just going to stand behind him and hug him round the shoulders.

Just give her a moment. She has to build her courage for the actual ride.]

[manuscripture]

[ It's fine. He picks her right up with no problem, kind of scrambling to find her knees to hook over his arms.

This is as awkward as anticipated. Give it five good steps. ]

Do you want to call it a day after this one? I can offer you a favor for compensation.

[refusedtoleave]

[She yelps when she goes up, it's better than a scream at least? Then she clings.

...For both of their sakes. He better not point out that she's a little bit heaver than average, if he notices.]

C-compensation? What for?

[manuscripture]

[ He is stronger than any shut-in should be and it's Unfair.

When he does loosen up, it's an invitation for her to hop down. ]

I can vote for you, you know. Provided I get anything.

[refusedtoleave]

[That takes her a moment. At first she doesn't even realize he's stopped moving, then she scrambles away.

Then she just stares for a moment. Did he really just say that?]

Thank you for the offer. My family will probably want to speak with me once the number of votes has been decided. So, I can't make a decision till then.

[The way how they're being it might be safer for her rely on strangers than the wolves.]

[manuscripture]

It was a suggestion. You are by no means obligated. [ He DID say he wanted to get her home. ]

Just bear in mind that I will be keeping the offer on the table until voting is over with.

[refusedtoleave]

I...I appreciate it. I'd like to think about it first. There are people here I'd rather got sent to safety first.
