[ ONCE REVIVED AND EVERYTHING. God. Just.

Clearing his throat. Not looking at anyone specifically lest it seem like LAYING BLAME, but, anyway, ]

I still don't think trying to talk things out with the demons is a non-starter, but . . .

We really gotta avoid directly asking to be taken out. Unless we get a unanimous vote to do that.

[arrowace]

Agreed. Sacrifice is . . . sometimes necessary, but . . . rarely desirable.

OH YEAH ALSO

[featherduster]

We also need to talk about this game penalty. ASAP.

[noarchitact]

I think we should get it over with before we forget and accidentally trigger it in the middle of a party or something equally harmless that would just... instantly become traumatic for us and everybody else in the vicinity. ]

[ Not saying anything himself, just looking to the others. ]

It would certainly make every conversation a heart-pounding endeavor to live with it long term.

...say something. [ murmured. ]

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[ GOD ]

That's one way of putting it . . .

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[featherduster]

I want to hear everyone's opinions first.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[chasseurdebeaute]

I would have enjoyed the chance to make it a discussion! Though perhaps the approach was somewhat crude against someone who was grieving?

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[arrowace]

[ nods ]

Uncontrolled . . . there may be additional casualties.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[arrowace]

[ counter-point: ]

Only if you fear death.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[noarchitact]

And if one utterance of the word triggers all of us... we don't always spend every minute with each other, so who knows where we'd be. I don't want to hurt anybody else. I've... already done enough damage.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[arrowace]

I will . . . certainly do further damage in the future. However, I would like it to . . . be intentional.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[featherduster]

[ Neutrally, ]

Or the deaths of bystanders.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[heavyliesthecrown]

Our only real option is to get it done and over with now, isn't it.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[arrowace]

[ only huffs by way of reply, but yeah that's the real kicker here, ain't it? ]

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[chasseurdebeaute]

Fufu, I suppose it's possible that both oneself and their conversation partner could both feel that way. There is always the excitement of discovery, should someone stumble upon the word accidentally!

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[arrowace]

[ nods, makes sense, however ]

. . . it would be rude to those . . . unexcited.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[noarchitact]

Rubato. I don't want to play conversation chicken.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[noarchitact]

I second this.
