... Well. This is a surprise.

Yeah... you think that's bad... normally, from what I understand, the judges can just revive you. So you're dead until the game ends but then you get pieced back together.

The judges who threw that game, though, they couldn't revive. A lot of the other teams went to another judge to get them to revive Lacerta. It's why you're gonna see a lot of people in dresses--men, women, children, dogs...

So if you think getting killed is the end here, think again.

I'll remember that.

Reason why breaking that rule and getting punished is so bad... isn't because of the horrible dying. I don't think I can really explain it but there's bad games a lot. People went on about the most recent bad one when I first woke up, so you'll get a lot of warnings on that. Bad games happen, people die... and that's not what people consider the worst possible outcome.

No, I imagine death is not the worst.

Yeah. Anyway. So, uh... judges. Couple that you should keep on the look out for.

Who?

There used to be this one called Trickster--real bad mother, this guy. But apparently something happened to him and now he's gone. Now this judge called Flowers took his spot in doing horrible things, but it's not the same way. Not malicious or anything. But it was her game everyone was going on about when I first woke up. Bunch of teams got crushed in the end of it.

Surgeon is another one. He likes to experiment on people. I think someone mentioned not wanting to lose his game because he takes the penalty of a lose out on your team and experiments on someone. Game Master's another one. I dunno what his games are about but I know it was on the list of Bad Ones. Something about one called Persona being invasive and stuff--Brass on Lynx might have more information on those guys, though. He's been getting the details. I've been mostly going out and experiencing first-hand.

Try not to say their names in open spaces and if you want to talk where the judges can't overhear you, stay indoors and have the door shut.

How very god-like.

Ain't it just?

Continuation from the door thing, though: never open the door without asking who it is first. Judges have been known to randomly snatch up Blanks--one of our types on team in color--for no reason except to amuse themselves. You stay indoors, they can't get you. You open the door, they can. So as long as you know it's not a judge, it's okay to open to knocks.

Doesn't help much with the everyday thing, but hey, I'm not gonna put down ways to keep a judge from getting a piece of my ass.

How ...unimpressive.

Might be unimpressive to you, but I find out someone from this team was ganked by a judge when people open doors without asking first? We're gonna have a problem.

Oh? And what would you do about it?

[tense smile at that]

So. What else needs covering?

I think that'll do for now.

Good. My throat was starting to get scratchy.

[moving to get up off the bed]

I kept you up. Maybe a glass of water...?

Don't have anything else to drink here. Though, man, I wish I could have more of that stuff Soldier had.

I'll go fetch some.

... uh. No. For starters, he's a judge. For another, what've you got to trade him for his drinks except showing off your tits? 'Cause seriously, I think that's pretty much what he'd be interested in.

[eyebrow raise]

That could work. But I meant water, not... "booze".

. . . oh.

Yeah. Uh. Waaater'd be fine. Yeah. I mean. Least you don't haveta flash the faucet? Unless you wanted to.

And why would I do that?

... 'cause you could?

True. But that doesn't make for a very convincing reason.

Well, hey. If you wanna turn down all the fun ideas. I see how it is.
