[ roxana will pretend for a lot of things, but she thinks it's crueler to give a false sense of security before stepping on a mine. ]

It is another weekend to endure. Some of us must endure more than others. What were you told in the call?

[rosebleed]

It's a bit inevitable, yeah.

[enduring. Sometimes she wishes they didn't have to, but here we are.]

That I was "up". It called me a superstar, which I can only think is a sort of nod to all these achievements and the museum? Like it's just entertainment.

[A tattoo spills across her chest. NOTHING BUT A STORY.]

It told me that I should really, really consider killing that night. Almost like it might be a threat. And it wasn't a person speaking either, it sounded mechanical, like a robot.

[ she sees the tattoo but doesn't comment on it. ]

Interesting. I don't know if I've heard of a call being used before. Did they add a threat?

[rosebleed]

No. It was very much just in the way it spoke. All implied, just urging me very strongly to kill someone.

[disingenuous]

How odd. You must feel unsettled right now.

[rosebleed]

[she fidgets.]

That's putting it a little mildly.

...But that's...it doesn't matter what I feel. Just what I did.

I understand guilt for taking a life, especially when you didn't mean to, but all of us have known someone forced into it like you have been.

[ or most of them. roxana doesn't know if there's a game that didn't use a murder mechanic. ]

Unless you'd like to say you always meant to take a life.
