HUNTER

[counterclocked]

[Shortly after the doors lock, he tries to force them open to no avail until a few minutes pass and it becomes clear that nothing Bad is happening.

After that, though, he seems fairly at ease. He’s put down the book he was reading before the doors locked (some science fiction novel), and he glances around at everyone.]

So... What now?

[disreguarded]

[ She's sprawled in a chair, book in hand, when Hunter speaks. She tilts her head back to look at him. ]

Good question. You feeling okay?

[counterclocked]

I mean, not any worse than I’ve felt all week. Doors ominously locking is usually a bad sign, but nothing awful seems like it’s happening...?

[He was definitely expecting something awful to happen as soon as he heard the lock click.]

[disreguarded]

Yeah, so far. Maybe it's like poisonous gas or something.

[ She hasn't gotten up yet though. ] Whatever it is is going to be bad. Tell me if you feel any like. Symptoms? Hard to breathe, enormous urge to kill. That kind of thing?

[counterclocked]

...If we get the whole urge to kill thing, I don't think I'm the one you need to worry about.

[He is a shrimp, it's fine.]

[disreguarded]

Hey, you never know. You could be hiding like a fifteen pack.

[counterclocked]

[With a small grin:]

Right. 120 pounds of raw muscle, you caught me.

[goldpeony]

The door won't move. [He probably banged on it for like five minutes right as it locked, but I'm so Tired of him being feisty, so.] This is like Gaunyin Temple...

[counterclocked]

Yeah, I noticed. I think it's going to take more than a few people to make it move...

[But surely no one will try to break it down with extreme methods.]

[goldpeony]

[Smashcut to Jin Ling, Galo, and Beau trying to strong-arm the bookshelf into a battering ram.]

It won't take too many if we use something else to knock it down. I'm not going to sit around this time like I sat around in the temple!

[counterclocked]

[He looks around, frowning. He doesn't think it's a bad idea, but...]

What exactly are we going to use?

[goldpeony]

[Hunter, don't be Lan Sizhui.]

One of the bookshelves. Or a chair.

[counterclocked]

A chair is probably a better idea. The bookshelves look kind of... Unwieldy is an understatement, you know?

[Smash cut to five minutes later—]

[recrypt]

[ piping up, now that she's gotten up from her book fort camouflage: ]

We fight to the death for the privilege of being the one person allowed to escape from our cage.

[counterclocked]

[It prompts a small laugh.]

May the odds be ever in your favor, then.

[recrypt]

Not going to wish yourself any luck?

[counterclocked]

I think we both know you could take me in a fight.

[It's lighthearted, though, because literal hunger games is very low on the list of things he thinks could actually be happening.]

[recrypt]

[ in the same tone of voice: ]

Don't make me sound like some kind of brute. There's enough of those around here already.

[counterclocked]

If it helps, most people could probably do that.

[Take him in a fight, he means. At least he's honest with himself.]

So, you know. Not that brute-ish.

[getdrekt]

We die. Who knows.

[in the background, idiots mingle in chaos.]

[counterclocked]

I don't know. Don't you think that's kind of anticlimactic?

[getdrekt]

No. [to the point!]

It's as likely as anything else.

[counterclocked]

They could have done that pretty much any time, though. Why now? I mean, I'm not exactly counting it out, but there at least has to be a reason behind it.

[getdrekt]

Curiosity. Entertainment. If you can think of it, then they have, too.

We wouldn't be the first to die for someone's pleasure.

[counterclocked]

Yeah, I know that. I'm not naive, I'm just trying to think about this logically. If killing us was their plan all along, why would they wait so long? That's why I said why now.
