[mock trial intro] move 'em on, head 'em up

[consolemods]

Whatever you were doing before you got here, it isn't what you're doing now. What you're doing now is waking up in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room with... unfamiliar glasses on your face. No matter what you can do, you can't take those glasses off... but if you roll your eyes down, you'll be given a rundown of what's going on here.

Hmm. Well, that's probably a little unnerving. Maybe you should... leave? Fortunately, your room's not locked, but as you go downstairs and try and ask the locals what's going on, you'll find they're... less than cooperative. And if you go outside the inn and try to leave into the town... well, you'll find several locations around the town, but you'll also find that you can't seem to leave.

Well. Maybe you should talk to the other people who just showed up here. All the locals are going to tell you is an explanation is forthcoming, so you might want to kill some time getting to know each other.

I'll tell you what I told the other young lady. If you win this game, I'll let you walk right on by me. You seem like you're not afraid of getting your hands dirty, it shouldn't take you too long.

[monotonality]

...ugh. Fine. So I just gotta kill one of these idiots, is that it?

[Zero no.]

How about I just kill them all and call it a day. Then will you let me the hell out of this dump?

[flagrants]

As much as I wanna see you make these fuckers into a bloody mess, Z, I think I'm gonna have to protest that "all." Don't think you it would be better if you said, "all but one?"

[monotonality]

[Oh yeah. That one's here. Well... it's not exactly a bad time to have a disciple around though.]

Fine. But you better make yourself useful then.

[flagrants]

That shouldn't be too hard, especially now that it's just the two of us. ... it really brings you back, doesn't it? All those great memories of the fun we had together.

Except now we don't have to deal with the whole "outdoors" thing. Camping was really starting to get on my nerves.

[monotonality]

Save the reminiscing for someone who likes that sentimental bullcrap.

[Still. Gotta admit it’s quieter than it’s been in a while.]

Besides. I distinctly remember having to listen to someone bitch and moan the whole way.

[flagrants]

Ha ha. That's just like you.

[ He shrugs, not bothered in the least. ]

And come on, you know you would've missed me if I left. Not that I could, but you still would've. Besides, I was just telling it like it was. Nothin' wrong with that.

[monotonality]

[Cheeky little brat.]

Wanna try me? Maybe I'll find someone to replace you while I'm here.

[Actually, she won't, but call her out on it at the risk of your life.]

[exclusiverelease]

Now you're catching on, but you're still missing something. Look at all these witnesses.

[monotonality]

[Oh my god you are literally making the ONE THING that comes naturally to her difficult. What the hell.]

So either I have to kill them all or lure one of them into a trap without getting caught by the others?

[ (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ ]

Who came up with these shitty rules?

[exclusiverelease]

[and he finishes the gun spin, tossing it up in the air and letting it plop into the holster itself, a satisfied nod at it also meant for Zero]

The second's the more traditional way of doing it. The first one has so many clauses and subclauses and conditions attached to it being a win that I don't even allow it. My friends come up with some clunkers sometimes. They wrote 'em. I just interpret.

[monotonality]

What a pain in the ass.

[All that sounds absolutely horrible. What's wrong with people just dying? Huh??]

Sorry, but I'm not here to jump through hoops for anyone.

[She's in a hurry but not THAT much of a hurry. She figures if she waits long enough someone will come to her and save her the effort.]

[exclusiverelease]

Think of it as learning a little... finesse.
