If you were in my shoes, wouldn't you be listening in on people's conversations?
[ you can almost hear aquila's unsaid "you nosy bastard?"]
And I mean, I guess that's one way to go about it, yeah. 's not a bad point.
...Shame though, cause most of the people around you have people that came from their thing, huh? Might not be a bad thing to make allies, if you think you're bad at making friends. [he did not say that, aquila]
It's not your turn to ask a question, so I don't have to answer that.
[Listen.]
Allies? You think flimsy murder hotel allies won't shove you in shark-infested water if someone slipped them an ominous note about how their hostage was going to lose a limb if they didn't buck-up and get to the death entertainment? Sure.
Did you forget I said I was on the paranoid cynic side of things?
[they sound zero percent bothered by this cheekiness.
however, they listen to all of this, and then add, cheerfully:] I mean, I guess they might, yeah!
[ but then, more seriously. their tone levels out, something more reflective.] There are upsides and downsides to every decision you make, yeah? On the one hand, going it alone means you go it alone. No one can betray you that way, but it means you're really on your own. You gotta maintain that in the long term - this place's already longer than yours was.
On the other hand, sometimes, you might end up lucky to trust somebody who's worth trusting. 's not like you gotta decide on who those people might be today, but as far as I've seen, as far as you saw on Saturday, you're right. These sorta things tend to turn into witch hunts real fast. Sometimes a good ally's the difference between life and death.
Everything in these situations is about high risk. Up to you how you handle it, Mr. Paranoid Cynic.
Mm. Half of the people likely barely know what a gun is. [ this is a joke? it sounds like one. maybe. more seriously: ] People're hypocrites. You know how it goes.
[ after that there's a beat
and very primly, aquila says: ] My Staff Profile page says advising.
[He does snort now. His turn to laugh, thank you.]
Ohh. Not advising hotel operations, but advising guests. I see. Maybe you should have been in the naughty box with me last week instead of Cloud. You could advise me on more of my bad decisions.

Apparently, the way to handle it is don't use a gun when you're being attacked, but it's fine if you have a sword.
[He will be petty and sarcastic at least a little, or he's ooc.]
I thought you were hotel operations, not hotel counseling. Why do you want to give me advice so bad?

The naughty box?

[I'm so glad I'm playing someone who will say these IC and not force me to say it in the brackets. Thank you, Jason, you're good for something.]

[ there is no indication as to what that's a reaction to but:]
Is this one of your kinks? Think I get how you felt now...
no subject
Big teenager energy even though he is twenty. Sometimes, you don’t have a childhood, so immaturity follows you.]
I’ll pass on the saint and sinner kink. It has too many BDSM vibes, and that is one hundred percent not for me.
no subject
That makes sense. Obviously, you're a costumes guy.

Oh, you caught me. Guess I have to kill you since my secret is out.

Sounds like a waste of a bullet! Also, you shouldn't assume I'm a guy, 's not polite. [ ????? ]

Gender neutral "guy," okay? Like "dude." As in, Come meet me in person, so I can strangle your neck, my guy.

Anyway, you're the one who called. [ he also did not call you specifically, aquila ] Ring my bell next time.

I'm going to ring your bell alright, smartass. [GOD] Whoever took Dick Grayson can put him right the hell back where you got him.
