[ DON'T CALL HIM RHYSAND ]

Given they've just told us they're overseeing us while we wait to be sacrificed to a bloody cult?

[bookpapers]

[but it's his name....]

Yeah. They were pretty helpful for a bunch of masked guys, huh?

[haematocritical]

[ NO. ]

... [ he was being sarcastic. ]

They didn't show us a way out, so no. They weren't especially helpful.

[bookpapers]

[was he :3c...]

What about the rulebook? That's useful.

[haematocritical]

[ soots. ]

Oh very useful!

“Go ahead and tell everyone your secret little powers and you might get to die faster!” Wonderful!

[bookpapers]

Guess that's one way to see it. [why is astarion so funny] So you're not interested in the wish part?

[haematocritical]

The wish part?

[bookpapers]

Famine mentioned that if you meet your other half, you can get enough power to make a wish.

[haematocritical]

...

Although if your "other half" is killed, so are you.

[bookpapers]

I mentioned that part too, but I guess some people won't mind taking the risk?

[haematocritical]

In a situation where they want to kill a lot of us very quickly to summon their little beastie?

I rather like this whole “being alive” thing and I rather like it even more when it’s not tied to “and then they were all sacrificed at the end”.

[bookpapers]

Hey, I like living just as much as the next guy.

[which doesn't matter bc he's probably DEAD in the manga now]

It pays to keep your options open, right? Just in case.

[haematocritical]

[ you’re never going to find out he’s going to be in that chair forever ]

When the option is “potentially die quicker” that sounds like a rather foolish option.

[bookpapers]

[LISTEN....YOU ARE RIGHT]

Which option would you take then?

[haematocritical]

The one where I'm not sacrificed and get to leave.

[bookpapers]

Me too!

[YAY]

[haematocritical]

What a wonderfully mundane thing to want.

[bookpapers]

[THAT ICON]

I think it's nice. We've got something in common.

[haematocritical]

Well, I have good news for you.

I think a lot of people are anti-being-sacrificed!

[ it's one of my favourites ]

[bookpapers]

So then we can figure this out if we all work together!

[haematocritical]

Yay.

[ deadpan. ]

[bookpapers]

I like your enthusiasm.

[haematocritical]

Teamwork isn't always ideal.
