disingenuous | scaramouche catchall

Hell cares about property damage and incarcerates you for it?

[ she thinks that's funny, but at least it doesn't show on her face. ]

How unexpected. You should have made someone test it out for you.

One of the more idiotic parts about the place.

[They were doing so much murder for so long...]

I'm sure it'll be tested out sooner rather than later, given how prone to destruction of both the accidental and intentional variety some people here seem to be.

Maybe I should ask after Maestro to see if they were penalized.

[ she doesn't care that much, though. ]

It does seem inevitable, but there is only one jail cell so far.

Doesn't seem so. Perks of the job, maybe.

[He also does not care overly much, though.]

You would be surprised how many can fit into one jail cell. Though I imagine it's going to be saved for whoever ends up voted out on Saturday.

It was the perks of the job that let them cause the damage in the first place.

[ must be nice.... to be unnerfed. ]

Hmm... I wonder why they'd need to, if they've more or less admitted that someone's going to be coerced into it.

Tch.

[SASUKE TCHS OVER THE FACT THAT SOME FUCKERS GET TO BE UNNERFED. He also wishes that was him. It's so hateful out here.]

They've stated they're trying to stick as close to the average "game" experience as possible, too. Jails sound like they're pretty common.

[ he could become a host and get unnerfed... does he want to attend to and help 30-odd people? ]

I still think the idea of an audit is ridiculous.

[No... No he doesn't... He would take the job and just fuck off to do whatever the hell, leaving all of the shitty parts to his coworkers, which is basically just canon.]

Anyone who doesn't is lacking brain matter to a terminal degree. Even the biggest moron here can see what a farce it is, but pointing that out is hardly as satisfying as smearing their insides across the floor would be.

[ it is a farce. that is how roxana has been describing it anytime she's asked. ]

How high are you setting your expectations that you'd be able to do that?

[And they're RIGHT!!! He laughs, a clipped and mean sound.]

I'll consider it a bonus but my expectations aren't high. Beings like these are like cockroaches, squirming under the slightest bit of scrutiny and running off to hide in the dark the second they're able.

[ not my html ]

I can't disagree with you although calling them cockroaches gives them more durability than they deserve.

[oh yeah i was going to be merciful and then i forgot and tagbombed... aoups]

True. Scum on the underside of a garbage can, maybe.

[ your mercy was forgotten by you, too. ]

Adequate. [ even if they're now being overpowered by said scum. ] We'll have to do away with the entire garbage container.

[IT REALLY WAS.]

Can't let mold start to grow, after all. I prefer the-- what was it called... "scorched earth policy"?

[Hell taught him nothing of worth but some things that were funny.]

Somehow, I'm not surprised to hear this.

[ despite only having exchanged five words. ]

In some cases, it's the best policy. I don't think many would protest it here.

[It really just takes five exchanged words, honestly.]

I should hope no one would. If anyone is the obnoxious sort to want to extend sympathy or whatever else toward even these auditors, I'll kill them myself.

Who would have sympathy for them? Even the most naive and kindhearted would have to struggle. You'd have to bereft of all capacity to function.

[ she'd believe not everyone would want to resort to violence. but sympathy? she'd think that's beyond insane. ]

[There are so many people who are beyond insane out there...]

You would, and there are many who fall in that category. As things are now, sure, most wouldn't. But if some idiots get so much as a whiff of an understandable set of reasons or pity-inducing backstory...

[ they are both their own brand of insane, but this type of insanity would be so stupid to roxana. ]

You might as well kill them, if they'd be swayed like that. There's no room for pity on either side.

[It would also be stupid to Scaramouche, but everything is stupid to Scaramouche.]

I would. [WOULD HE. Well. There is a high chance, actually.] I can't stand that kind of idiocy.

[ he said he would a few tags ago. makes him repeat himself. ]

There is a place for goodhearted people but not here. I don't cherish that kind of blindness.

[i see my memory is already failing me]

People like that don't last long regardless, so at least there's that.

[ has your memory ever succeeded you ]

I'll defer to your 500 years of experience.

[LISTEN HERE.

There's a little huff of a laugh.]

I think one only needs a year or two to understand that.

[ I'M LISTENING

she gives him the most placid of smiles. ]

Sometimes, those types attract those who suffer from savior complexes.
