No, I'm not. [ don't start with that jason, he heard it enough in his old murdergame. ]
Yeah, so what? You think everyone trusts everyone here? Even if you know someone, it doesn't mean you can trust them. Especially with hostages.
I used to be hotheaded like you. If anyone came at me, I'd have done the same -- with my swords, or firebending. [ ah the days of zuko's youth... ] But I've learned that sometimes it's better to use restraint. Stop and think things through, instead of just acting on instinct. There's more going on than we know. Our real enemy isn't each other.
Oh, the local reformed boy has come to give me a stern talking to?
[He's seems more amused and tired than he does sarcastic and bitter. Zuko's delinquent youth...]
As much as you're trying, you won't break that from me. I think things through. Like when I decided to draw my gun than risk accidentally hitting someone else if I tried to throw fists. But my lifestyle? Is pure instinct most of the time. So many of you people here sound like Batman all the time.
No killing this. Restraint that. Suck up your discomfort, Jason, and just get naked for the greater good.
Okay, first of all, I'm just trying to tell you not to get voted off because there's a bigger picture going on. [ he has been called out!!! and he huffs like a typical teenager ] Second of all, I don't know why a man bat is telling you to get naked. That's weird.
Third of all..... we're literally all getting naked, it's not just you. You think it's fun for the rest of us? We all hate it.
You say that, but what makes you so sure being alive will net you the bigger picture? We didn't know what actually was going on until we were dead. So maybe being dead is better.
[He still thinks Zuko is amusing.]
If you hate it so bad, don't do it then. I don't really care about getting naked. It's being forced to do something I said I didn't want to do that's my issue.
One week is way too early to decide that. At least wait until we hear from the dead before you go jumping in the grave.
[ it doesn't occur to zuko that not everyone heard from the dead. ]
Yeah, I know. But strip check is evidence. We have to do it to catch the killers. So people just can't skip out on it, or cover for their buddies. That's how things slip through the cracks.
Wrong for me again, buddy. We only played a week, so it's not early enough. Also? Good luck with that. Because we couldn't speak to the living at all.
[Now he realizes.]
I get it increases our probability, but I assure you, there will probably be times when getting people in their skimpies doesn't merit you crap for answers. We've been through this before. People know better.
Oh, right. [ jason's game was so weird... ] Well, it's still too early to know. Other people said they could talk to their dead, too. Gathering information first is better.
[ so at least they can wait past tutorial ]
Sure, but have you seen us? We can't afford to take that risk. We're not exactly super sleuths.
[jason, who goes in immediately trying to shoot or blow things up: information gathering?]
Why are you so interested in finding killers? Instant gratification? Because I don't know about you, but finding killers wasn't in the contract I signed.
Okay, but why? Does it make you feel better? Do the usual rules of morality really apply when we're trapped in this shit hole? Do you think about how we're still doing the same song and dance here that everyone has done before. Like... why? Why can't we do it differently? Just a thought.
[Also, he's crazy, so take it with a grain of salt.]
I don't ever remember whatever bastard has us here saying they wanted to be entertained by a murder mystery for eight weeks. But maybe I missed the fine print because I was apparently, you know, asleep.
It does make me feel better, actually. [ a bit dryly but it's true ] What's the alternative? Kill off the unpopular people or every goody two shoes that volunteers for death?
But most of us have been going based on our previous experiences. And in my experience, you'd get benefits from getting it right. So... Whatever. Maybe you're right. But I don't see a better option.

Because we have to vote someone out every week, and I'd rather vote for someone who actually did it instead of a random person. Or you.

Our crowning achievement revolves around entertainment as much as it pisses me off.
[A shrug.]
Guess we'll see what we get for being right, huh?
no subject
[ don't rush off to death, jason. zuko just gives a derisive noise of agreement at the entertainment thing. ]
Yeah, I'm not thrilled about it either.
