livestage | UNHOLY DISORDER

[The Showmaster leads you through the dark stage and you find yourself entering something that looks like a very nice and expensive classroom.

Each desk is spacious with drawers that you will conveniently find any important item that had been on your person or that you feel like you would need here. Each chair is cushy and swivels.

Sitting on top of the teacher's desk is a young girl, older teen / younger adult in age at most, hair that looks like mint cotton candy that probably reaches down to her ankles. She has a knee drawn up to her body, resting her chin on top as she scours the room of who arrived . . .

And then she looks at you all with uncertainty in her face. You'll notice that her purple eyes shifts when she makes the expression, it goes from a solid purple to a purple mixed in with this symbol in yellow also.]

I mean, I certainly don't blame you for splitting away from that nasty shitty ass Holy Order family, but you're still from them so I can't imagine you're that great either.

[ hmmmmm weighing hands motion ]

Sure, objectively speaking, if we want to avoid any harm or weirdness to ourselves from the "cost", that's true. But that's also ignoring that the stuff we avoid might get dished out to people we maybe don't want to stack up extra bad stuff on, that getting zero will probably mean missing out on another vision for those of us who're interested, and that the other Families will be able to see us being that self-prioritising.

Getting visions is definitely not my priority.

[They fucking suck.]

And if someone else decides they wanna fuck themselves up for our information, that's on them. I'm not gonna feel bad that they did something stupid.

That said, if no one else picks our squares, we're still left floundering with no info at all, which probably extends our stay here.

Fair and valid.

You're probably right that more information means a shorter stay on this ship. So, as long as it's fine by you if someone not you wants to mess themselves up for information...

[ he's gonna take one...... at least one, ]

I'm down for whatever. I don't mind taking any of the higher ones either. I think if we're going in then we gotta go all in.

Though I'm not sure that picking the highest numbers first might be to our benefit.

It's true that it might be better to save them for last, but... I'd like to figure out where the top limit for awful is sooner than later, rather than being left worrying about it for too long.

[ leaning in closer and quieter and also using his Blessing to make sure this doesn't get telepathically overheard, as much as possible, ]

Plus, I'd like to eliminate the higher ones before Phoenix gets it in his head to take them. He's too baby for whatever it is.

[ Phoenix WOULD.]

Yeah, well get it out of your head that you should take them all too. Go ahead and take your five, but don't be a martyr or something. I'll be seriously pissed.

I... will let everyone else have a chance to take some of them and see what happens before I do anything drastic, how about that?

Heron.

Come on, we don't even know what it'll do yet! If it's something way past bogus, obviously I'll hold back, but we gotta find out first.

[Sighs.]

Fine. Test it out. Just don't go ham. I'll take one of the fours and I guess a 2 to begin with.

If people are choosing to take punishments for themselves, that is objectively not our fault. And personally, I don't see anything wrong with being self-prioritizing.

And I also think it's worth it to give the Showmaster a taste of her own medicine. Isn't that a worthy cause in its own right?

Okay, that's valid and understandable.

I'm just really nosy, though.

I'm sure we'll get fresh info no matter what. I'll bet everybody else are all gleefully hopping on grenades, as we've been conditioned to do, and I'm sure they'll share even if we don't.

Considering that, are you really sure you want to buy squares?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure they will be.

Sorry, I know it's smarter not to be like this, but - if I'm going to get info, I want to get it through my own effort, and not through someone else's suffering. Otherwise, it won't feel as good.

None of this will ever feel good.

[but he sighs, slumping a little]

Well, do what you want. I'm not going to stop you.
