Game 73
Who: The Flock
Where: The Arena
When: Day 107, eearly morning

All was silent through the twisted tunnels of Sabra La Tau. The morning torches began to light, and the flock began to graze.

It was quite the ordinary routine for everyone but the poor, weary blanks. Dutifully they continued to play the game, hoping to protect their loved ones. But were they protecting friends or foes? Just how close were the sheep to ending the game, or ending their lives. . .

Let's read on to find out!

That's fine, Jace, I think I can manage a couple hours up, or I can trade off.

[gives Mits A Look, then speaks softly.]

Look, neither of us can go back with you, and you're not going to be safe doing that alone right now. And you need sleep, on the slim, slim chance that we're going to actually be able to survive this. We're all going to need to be sharp when it goes up. Neb's still at the dorms, he knows not to let anyone in, and Carly still has her materia.

	Don't worry about it, Ashikawa. I'm not going to stand by while something like this happens. nods to Chaz I'll be back soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[nods at Jace, then turns back to Mits.] I'm pretty sure he won't let anyone get to either of them, and I don't think that us going back would make them safer, maybe even less so. They might attack because you're there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't imagine that there's going to be much of a case to make in our favor tomorrow. What exactly am I being useful for? [Turning to go. :\|b] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[doesn't get up quite yet, but his shoulders are now tensely aligned with the ground. his voice when he speaks is simply quiet.] Because I'm selfish enough to believe that there's got to be some way to stop this without letting you do something that would get you stuck with Surgeon to the end of my natural lifespan.

	No. It's normal. Most people don't have that much change happen to them in two years, let alone two months, Jace. You can't keep doing this alone. Not and not start to slip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
