Game 2, Day 3

[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.

With all my heart.

[ He looks her in the eye with a sincere look. ]

[meatitfeedson]

[Oh Jesus here we go, he's too sweet and it's going to be the death of her. She shouldn't have caught that look, it's probably more than she deserves, and she has to hide her face in a hand.]

Thank you. Me too, I would be honoured to have you as a son. I'll be more of a grandmother by then, but I swear I'll look for you when our times align.

[jinglebros]

...what time are you from?

[ He's wary now. ]

[meatitfeedson]

It's 1986. Junpei said I could be his grandmother in his time, but...

[jinglebros]

...yeaaaaaah. We're from 2027.

[meatitfeedson]

Ahhh, shit, I will be an old lady...

[NAH SHE'LL BE SUPER DEAD]

Still, though, it's not impossible.

[jinglebros]

I'll track you down with all my damn resources.

[meatitfeedson]

So will I. Hell, I could keep an ear to the ground about your parents' death and find you then. Although there's a question of whether that's possible or some sort of time paradox, but that's hardly the point here and not worth worrying about. We have plenty of resources, so one way or another, I'm sure it will happen.

[jinglebros]

Time paradoxes...

[ He starts laughing and doesn't stop. It's probably a bit worrying, actually. ]

[meatitfeedson]

... What's so funny?

[jinglebros]

[ He stops laughing finally. ]

I'm sorry, you wouldn't get it. I barely get it.

[meatitfeedson]

[If only she knew the time paradoxes that were coming for her too...]

...Okay? You gonna be okay?

[jinglebros]

No, probably not.

[meatitfeedson]

Like I said before, you're going to make me worry about you two.

Can I give you another opportunity for a truth out of that?

[jinglebros]

Why are you so worried, anyway?

[ His head is starting to hurt. ]

[meatitfeedson]

Why wouldn't I be, after the things you two have said? Besides, mothers always worry even if there's no need. I'm worrying about Ange right this minute. And now you're on the list too.

[jinglebros]

I guess I just don't understand why I'm worthy of this.

[ He looks uncomfortable. ]

[meatitfeedson]

You've done a good job of endearing yourself to me. I mean I don't understand why you think so highly of me either, but here we are. You matter to me, I can't exactly explain it when it's happened so quickly, but I suppose it's that I see myself in you? That still sounds too shallow though, it's more than that.

[jinglebros]

[ He nods, and then on a whim gives her another hug. ]

Okay.

[meatitfeedson]

Just believe me that you're plenty worthy of it, and more. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so.

[She takes that hug and even ruffles his hair.]

Dare: mix me a drink. Or just pour it.

[jinglebros]

I can do that. I was a bartender for about a year.

[ He cracks his knuckles. ]

Any preferences?

[meatitfeedson]

Really? Rudolf's going to love you! I like something with a bite, surprise me.

[jinglebros]

I'm assuming you don't want to get real drunk here.

[meatitfeedson]

I have a pretty good tolerance, but no, I'd rather remain relatively in control at a time like this.

Thinking of, drink a glass of water.

MANDY DOESN'T KNOW RECIPES

[jinglebros]

Ugh, do I have to?

[ He mixes up a lemon-lime drink that's light on the heavy alcohol. ]
