[ch. 3] post-execution, w/ waver

[Hey, Waver.

He's going to find Veronica standing on the tips of her toes to reach the kitchen cabinets, her face dripping like she may or may not have just poured a cup of water over her head. It seems that she's looking for the booze...? If there's any left after this mess, anyway, even with the kitchen getting repaired and all.]

—I'm not going to spit it out.

[Said a little defensively, while reaching over to pour herself another shot.]

Be careful what you wish for. This is going to be over sooner than we want it to be if someone else decides to be an overachiever.

That's not the only way.

[ he drinks from his glass slowly, trying to ignore the burn of the liquor. it numbs his feelings, but also clears his mind, if only for a moment. ]

Remember what Lady Dragon said? There's a way to bring those who have died back. I think that the chances of this 'ending' occurring will be related to whether or not enough people complete their objectives.

[asswipe]

[She hums, quiet for a moment, before taking a small sip from her cup this time.]

But if more of us die before "enough" people complete their objectives, will we really have that option? We don't know what counts at enough.

[londonstar]

If we don’t have enough people, then we obviously cannot reach that good end.

[ a shrug ]

However, I guess that asking the Crafters directly may answer the question of “how much is enough”. At the very worst, we won’t get an answer.

[asswipe]

Yeah, worst case. But it's still something we really need to know before we screw ourselves over, I guess.
