[WHAT?]

Correct. That is not what that part of the contract covers. It is - it's not an adjustment to your contract itself, it's... [they set their cup down, then drum their fingers on the table, thinking, and when they speak again it's slowly and carefully, like they're choosing their words. maybe they don't want to get scolded by dimitri for language again.] It would probably be easier to give you an example.

Before all of you arrived, a rule change got proposed to the boss. Do you remember, in the camp you had to vote for a culprit, and you couldn't vote for a dead person, even if you thought they did it?

You can vote for someone dead here if you have reason to think they were at fault for a death that week, but then got killed afterward. But, that change was allowed because the consequences would be severe if it turned out that the dead person you voted for had not harmed anyone.

[ i said what i said ]

I try not to speak of the camp's rules, lest it give anyone ideas.

[ but he gets it. he frowns. ]

So if people were to attempt to vote for the dead in an effort to avoid condemning the living, we would be punished. May I ask what those consequences are?

[i hate you]

...tch. Can't argue with that.

[it was just the easiest thing they could think of. they sip from their tea again.]

Yes and no. If you voted for a dead person who had killed someone that week, for whatever reason, it would be fine, because you followed the evidence and figured out who fu— who killed someone. You'd be right.

But if you voted for someone who was dead and they didn't kill anyone... it's like gambling. Your reward if you get it right is no one else is dying. But there's a phrase... "High risk, high reward". If you got it wrong, one of you at random would be executed instead.

Ah.

[ he grimaces, closing his eyes for a moment. so they could execute someone totally innocent. ]

Not odds I am sure I will ever accept. But I see what you might mean. These rules... so we likely cannot add ones that unequivocally help us, as it is not within the spirit of 'entertainment' here.

[ there is a bite to those air quotes. ]

I received a reward for my performance today as well—I take it your employer was amused by my behavior this weekend.

The boss would not find that very entertaining, no. [a sip of their tea.] Anything that is too obviously helpful... that is not the sort of thing he likes.

[...]

Something like that. Can you think of anything you did that might be...

[they set their cup down so they can make air quotes with their fingers.]

"Amusing"?

[ he gently sets down his tea cup. ]

You mean besides going mad and stabbing myself?

I do not find that particularly amusing.

[...]

And I don't think the boss would either! Not in the middle of a f— da— ... don't yell at me for language. Not in the middle of a damn trial! It must have been something different.

I did not yell... [ just pointing out that virgo just listened to him because he's a beta ] But I appreciate your efforts and your improvement is marked.

[ a little cursing is okay. virgo is making an effort and he will accept that. but then he raises a brow. ]

Something different...? But I do not think I was remarkable in any way.

...thank you.

[god this is wild. also they are not a beta. stop that.]

Oh, cut the shit, I am sure you contributed something.

[ okay omega ]

...Considering my condition that trial, you are vastly overestimating me. [ his potato brain ] I suppose I do not understand your employer's brand of humor well enough to guess.

[WHAT?]

Tch, I'm not sure anyone does.

[ bottom behavior ]

You do not seem overly fond of him yourself.

[WHY?]

I do not like being told what to do by anyone! Including a boss!

[ unexpectedly childish... ]

I see. But you still have your own reasons for being here, I take it.

Everyone has their own reasons for taking a job like this.

Something you can't or won't speak of, I take it?

The others mentioned something about an "NDA" and I don't fucking get it but I guess that means we're not supposed to talk about shit.

[ this is why yjh bullies them ]

Some sort of nondisclosure...? [ he is used to doing paperwork, unfortunately, so that much he can guess but he doesn't know what lol is ] In any case, we will just have to wait and see if your restrictions are eased over time.

In the meantime... [ checks if he has any other questions, holds out a YOU TRIED star ] Do you know what this is?

Yeah, I think that's the word they used.

[

what?]

...a pity star?

...A what star?

Pity. What, you've never heard someone say "Well, you tried" when they're pitying you?
