[unrecked]

Yeah, probably. Just a guess.

[guestservices]

What makes you think you don't?

[unrecked]

Well, I died at home, I died in the last one of these games, and that one was purgatory. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if I came out of it all without one.

[guestservices]

Hm... I wouldn't think that dying and coming back necessarily strips you of your soul, although I guess the nature of the soul may work different depending on where you come from.

[unrecked]

You know a lot about souls, or are you just saying what you think sounds more comforting?

[guestservices]

While I'm not an expert on the matter, it isn't an entirely foreign concept to me.

[unrecked]

[He studies Cetus for a moment.]

You said you weren't interested in material things. Just telling you that I don't have a lot of not material things either if you wanted something in return.

Which you still haven't told me.

[guestservices]

[a pause]

Do you dislike the idea of being in others' debt? I assure you that's not the case here.

[unrecked]

Kinda. Especially when I'm in a murder hotel. I already said I know you're going to just say it's your job.

You trying to tell me the drink is good enough for you?

[guestservices]

I appreciate that you made an attempt.

[unrecked]

So no basically. Just say that.

[guestservices]

I was being sincere. Quite a few people leave nothing when they call for us.

[unrecked]

[He is getting so many nice tags today, and for what? He doesn't know what to do with himself.]

Well, where I'm from, a tip is usually money. So a lot of people here probably think they don't have much to give you. Sure, some of us are just giant assholes.

[guestservices]

I don't begrudge them. It's just a pleasant surprise when we do get something.

[unrecked]

Damn, you guys really do have some emotions.

[THIS IS A JOKE, CETUS, PLEASE.]

[guestservices]

[dryly]

Is that a good thing or bad thing?

[unrecked]

Uh. Both probably? Good you give a shit for us, but bad because now we can use that against you.

[guestservices]

[calmly,]

I wouldn't advise deliberately making an enemy out of me. [anyway.] Of course, I'm sure it goes without saying that we're not your allies either.

[unrecked]

[This should not amuse him, but it does slightly. Now he's interested, you dingdong.]

Yeah. [He taps the contract.] Not that I considered you my allies. But good luck convincing some of the others of that.

[guestservices]

[wow?]

People tend to look for companionship in difficult situations, consciously or otherwise.

[unrecked]

I'm aware. Not a great idea sometimes. Like here probably. You know there's a few of them who will probably try to "save" you guys, right?

[guestservices]

... Well, that's sweet but wholly unnecessary.

[unrecked]

[A helpless shrug.]

Good luck. They are real go getters.

[guestservices]

Not an inherently bad trait, at least.

[unrecked]

A little ominous to say that considering what I just read in this contract about the criteria of the game.
