Game 61: Dawn

[boxupallthebutterflies]

I would like to speak with you. ...Not necessarily strictly about the game.

Sure? What's up?

[boxupallthebutterflies]

How is Ruby, this game?

[heliokleptic]

We're okay. Acedia is acting pretty weird, but... I don't think it's about the game.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

He told me that you were having disagreements, and he also seems to have found something to catch his interest overnight.

[heliokleptic]

He voted for Emerald even though I asked him not to, and won't move it, even though the last round we didn't vote for you just because he didn't want to. So I'm not talking to him until he quits being a dick.

I don't know what 'caught his interest', unless you're talking about Iolite. But he said they went out so it didn't matter, and wouldn't tell me about that either.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...Hah. Though he spoke of disagreements much earlier on.

He claims to have suspected them.

[heliokleptic]

Well, obviously he was wrong. And we weren't fighting earlier so I don't know what you mean.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Maybe he's the only one who thought you were having disagreements.

Do you not think this game is any fun, Ruby?

[heliokleptic]

I feel better about it now that I'm pretty sure one is getting hurt. But now I'm mad at Acedia, so no, it's not that much fun.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

...Mu... That's too bad...

[heliokleptic]

[shrug]

A lot of games aren't fun.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

If you're having fun playing a game... It's not as fun to play with people who aren't having fun...

[heliokleptic]

...sorry. I don't know what would be fun for me right now. It's hard to really be into a game where I spent half of it worrying about killing people. But don't let me ruin it for you.

[boxupallthebutterflies]

I will not let you ruin it.

[heliokleptic]

Should we split up now, then?

[silentknight]

You'll wait forever.

[heliokleptic]

No I won't. He's nice to me more often than note, lately.

[silentknight]

Is something else wrong?

[heliokleptic]

We lost Jacuzzi. He always takes that pretty hard.

[silentknight]

I meant for you. The same?

[heliokleptic]

...nah. I'm okay. I think Jacuzzi would be happier if he could just wake up one day and everything would be better. It's all right if he sleeps until then.

[silentknight]

Oh. You seem... not so happy.

[heliokleptic]

Haha... that's normal for me. Don't worry about it.

[silentknight]

Mm. I guess I don't... know you so well. Sorry. It's just... hard because you're... the only Ruby I can talk to.

[heliokleptic]

You mean in the game..? Why don't you talk to Smoke?
