They could. But they won't.

Re: HOSTAGE

[hffff]

I know.

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

[hffff rakes a hand through his hair, listening to the instructions]

Tch. . . and I'll be our partner is anonymous.

[we'll be playing bliiiiind I don't like this]

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

Probably... so we won't even know how to answer.

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

. . . that's what the messages are for.

[but it sure doesn't keep anyone from lying. inhale, exhale. . .]

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

That doesn't stop someone from lying, though...

But... maybe people will avoid lying for this.

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

[laughs, wryly]

That depends on the team, huh?

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

Well... yes.

[SIGHS]

What kind of message should we send the other team...?

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

[hesitating thoughtfully]

. . . it depends on what you want. If you want us to play to protect you completely, then no matter who the other team is, we'll have to betray them.

But if you don't mind a burn, then maybe we should ask if they'll trust us.

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

[tttakes a deep breath]

I don't mind a burn.

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

Then. . . "Both teams trusting means no deaths?"

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

[nods!]

I like that.

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

[small bit of relief, then]

Thanks, Ferril.

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

[nods '^'a]

Mm. I just... want as many people as possible to come out of this okay.

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

Yeah. . . me too. I don't want you to get hurt, and I'll play to keep you safe. But I'd like to do it without killing anyone.

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

[nods]

I don't mind a burn if it means that we can keep people from dying. I... would prefer not getting hurt at all, but keeping people alive is more important to me.

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

[nods]

We'll see what they say.

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

I hope they respond soon.

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

I hope they're on board with this plan.

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

[...nods]

It would be helpful if they were.

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

It's the smartest way to play and will result in the least amount of casualties. We've just gotta hope people aren't too paranoid to go through with it.

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

How likely do you think it is that they will be paranoid?

Re: HOSTAGE

[artofthievery]

[considering the reaction Dragonfly got from our prank. . .]

Pretty likely. We'll gauge from the message they send back, though.

Re: HOSTAGE

[cantstopthebeat]

Mm. They need a chance to respond before we decide on anything.
