We're sending Celeste.

[appleofhiseye]

Jackal's on that team.

[biggeststar]

Who's that?

Everyone's gonna vote for them anyway. If we waste one on someone else it's one more team risking it.

And they deserve it.

[havesomedecency]

We're not—voting—for anyone.

[biggeststar]

It's eat or be eaten! I'm not gonna risk it!

[havesomedecency]

You coward. You'll hide—behind some other—team?

[biggeststar]

Who's hiding?! Refusing to play is running away...! You weren't there last game.

I'm not letting it eat our team!

[havesomedecency]

But you'll let it eat the others, will you?

[biggeststar]

Celeste was ready to hurt other people just to win a memory. If we don't pick the other teams are gonna pick them anyway.

So what, you want to risk us getting eaten for nothing...? I decided last game I was gonna be prepared for the next one. We aren't killing someone for something stupid. We're protecting ourselves.

[havesomedecency]

And are you willing to accept that death in the name of your own selfish protection?

[biggeststar]

Are you willing to accept death and let Sage die 'cause you're a coward? What about Skullcrusher and the others? What's gonna happen to them?

[havesomedecency]

Do you even know what it means to face death in battle? To accept that every time you fight it might be your last? I'm not going to sacrifice us to this game, but I refuse to play something so brutal and vulgar.

[biggeststar]

Dunno. I don't remember.

If you're not gonna sacrifice us, then come up with something. 'cause the dragon sure looks hungry to me, and he set you on fire for talking back just earlier.

[appleofhiseye]

No one deserves to be eaten, regardless of what they've done.

[but. not arguing that point]

[biggeststar]

Fine, maybe not the whole team.

But that's how it is. We're not going unprepared for this.

[appleofhiseye]

We might be able to abstain. I don't—I can't just pick someone to go to their deaths like this.

[biggeststar]

Like hell we might. Open your eyes already, if we could abstain he wouldn't have asked us to choose.

I don't wanna risk anything.

[appleofhiseye]

So you would risk the lives of others instead?

[biggeststar]

Would you risk ours?

[appleofhiseye]

No. But...

[biggeststar]

There isn't room for "but", little girl.

It's not just a memory on the line this time.

[havesomedecency]

You. Shut it.

[biggeststar]

You guys are the ones who aren't seeing it! It's over if we die...!

[appleofhiseye]

I know, I know!
