Who: SOME DUDE IN YELLOW (and his shouta ghost)
Where: The main room of Orion dorms (and, eventually, just outside, if you need an excuse)
When: Day 83, Morning.
What: Intro~

*The new blank has promptly confiscated the largest knife he can find, and his holding it with a fair amount of confidence for someone who has no memory of how to use it. It is not time to systematically check all the other rooms in the dorms. He pushes the doors open quietly, and seems quite prepared to stab anyone if necessary.

And, for those who can see such things, there is a small ghost child floating behind him*

*I am not stupid enough to kill someone just to take their weapon. But you better not leave it unguarded*

No. ...Unless you want to trade.

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

Don't be ridiculous. Neither I nor anyone else on this unit is a threat to you. Put down your weapon.

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

*oddly...compelled to listen... doesn't put his knife DOWN but seems moderately less prepared to use it*

I can't know that.

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

That's about the only fact about this place you can be sure of. We're responsible for you now.

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

Responsible... why?

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

Because you're part of our team. That's what a team does.

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

...I don't remember...

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

... ah. You'll be able to win back who you were. We can help with the rest.

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

...I don't understand what a 'team' is, but I feel no compulsion to help you.

[EXPRESSION NOT ACTION]

You won't get very far on your own.

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

Don't be so sure.

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

You're always weaker alone. Especially here.

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

...the games.

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

The games, the environment, the Judges... it's foolhardy to take it all on yourself.

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

...

*looks away, towards something you can't see*

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

[huh]

... well?

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

*considers you =|a*

...none of you know who or what I am. To me, the rest of you are also mysteries. Why do you agree to work together?

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

...

They help when they have to. They help when they don't have to. I know I can trust them. I think we can trust you too.

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

. . . you may come to regret that.

*knife is all the way down, though*

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

No, I don't think I will.

Is there anything else I can tell you?

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

. . . where do I get a blade like that?

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

[paauuuses]

This one was received under special circumstances. Carly may help you make something similar.

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

Circumstances?

[knightania.insanejournal.com]

It was a reward for escaping a Game.

[sympathy_of_the.insanejournal.com]

The one that took Carly's eye?
