[Colonel Thunder]

Stay up in the tent to keep an eye on Walrus and Req (Tirin)
Go outside and talk with Ibix and Anatron further regarding 13th's disappearance (Walrus)

The thread's alive again!

And we have another tiebreaker, go figure!

 

[Requiem]

That lovable black man, who is my friend Req thirsts for blood.

Stay in the tent and keep an eye on his ass.

 

[Chickenspleen]

Go outside. Be inquisitive.

 

[Requiem]

No, this is not inquisitive time. We know plenty of what's going on. Everyone is outside doing camp stuff. Walrus is close to death with Req looming over him.

Protect his ass, we don't need to go exploring.

 

[Steal Thy Kill]

If I remember anything, we're trying to prevent Anatron mutinying against Req. We could keep track of Req to make sure he doesn't make the critical fuckup that pushes people over the edge like killing Walrus, because Req is fucking losing it. Or we could go out and keep an eye on the little shit who could've totally done something with 13th's head.

Like, on the face of it. Letting Walrus die isn't a terrible thing. But goddamn I do not want to have to deal with bullshit power struggle drama.

Keep an eye on Walrus.

 

[Null Hypothesis]

Keep an eye on Walrus.

 

[Requiem]

Yeah, if there's going to be a power struggle, I'd rather it be with Walrus alive than dead and with Req capable of perhaps coming back from the brink. As things stand now though, if he kills Walrus, he's fucked. He might kill more people, hurt people who don't need to be hurt, call zombies/fuse clones to the camp, etc other horrible things. Dealing with Anatron (is it Anatron? I can't quite remember) is important, but it's better to focus on Req for the moment as it helps the other situation in the long run.

Hypothetically of course. TC likes to fuck up the long game we all play fairly often, which makes this so much fun. Neato, gang.

 

[Colonel Thunder]

Stay up in the tent to keep an eye on Walrus and Req: 4 (Tirin, Req, Null, Stealthy)
Go outside and talk with Ibix and Anatron further regarding 13th's disappearance: 2 (Walrus, Chickenspleen)
___________________________________________________________________________________________

"I'm not really tired anymore," says Easy. "I think I'll hang out here."

"Oh come on, don't be like that," says Req. "Okay, so my idea was too cruel. You called me out on it, I'm not going to follow through."

"I'm sure you won't," says Easy.

They're both quiet for a few moments.

"See, this is why we make a good team," says Req, with a nicer tone. "Occasionally one of us comes up with a shitty idea - mostly me - and we call each other out over it to make sure things move along okay."

"Rrright," says Easy, a little uncomfortable. Walrus begins snoring lightly.

"I'm happy you're here doing this with me, Easy," says Req. "I'm happy we're together in this."

Easy is quiet for a few moments.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

What does Easy do?

-use the opportunity to affirm his camaraderie with Requiem
-use the opportunity to confront Req about his mental health and leadership
-try to get some sleep inside the tent

Feel free to add custom flavor to any of the above options.

 

[Null Hypothesis]

Confront Req

 

[Requiem]

Confront that fool

 

[coolpool2]

-use the opportunity to affirm his camaraderie with Requiem

 

[Chickenspleen]

Confront.

 

[Tirin]

Use the opportunity to bro up with Req, and then have a heartfelt talk about his mental health and the effect that it's having on his leadership and offer to help him out on that front as much as possible.

 

[Requiem]

Hrm. Tirin makes a good point.

Re-affirm. I'm switching.

 

[Colonel Thunder]

Use the opportunity to affirm his camaraderie with Requiem: 1 (Coolpool)
Use the opportunity to confront Req about his mental health and leadership: 2 (Null, Chicken)
Tirin's custom flavor of both mixed together: 2 (Tirin, Req)

 

[Chickenspleen]

Ah, heck, I'll turn to Tirin's side.
