[SOMEWHERE... IN SOME CORNER OF THE CAMP... Here is an angry teen. He's more or less talking to himself, but WWX will hear clear as day as he comes into his vicinity—]
[OOOH JASON. Wei Wuxian immediately starts veering over both 1) because he cannot ignore Angry People and 2) he knows Dick's like kinda-not-sorta-yeah family(?????) with him, which means automatically that Wei Wuxian cares even more than usual.]
We had one supposedly accidental death, but none of our own were involved. [DEMON TONBO!!!] The only kills were ever done by our possessed. [A beat and then:]
I've heard those dealing with Hal say that he would have been disappointed in something like this, rather than finding it amusing.
[Hhhhhh... He seems displeased to hear that there was a supposedly accidental death at all, but at the mention of Hal? His expression pinches.]
Yeah, that sounds like him. [a beat.] Don't get me wrong. He was a goddamned asshole. But at least you could trust him to be upfront about wanting to screw you over, instead of putting us through all this secretive bullcrap.
Haha... No offense to you, but I think I'd have much rather dealt with Hal than the demons. [His soul is wheezing.] It's a shame we couldn't have gotten something more straightforward here too, but that sounds like an exception rather than what's normal.
Oh, none taken. I'd take the old tin can over, y'know, sex demons any day. [Sometimes it just be like that.] Guess they couldn't reuse the same old plot points all the way, though. [sarcastically:] Lucky us.
We do just have the most distinct luck in the world now, don't we?
[And by distinct, he means bad. It's just bad luck. They are all unfortunate SOBs.]
I'm concerned there's just enough to leave us placated, so the powers that be here can wait until we get into a rhythm of guessing things correctly and will be that much more upset when something drastic changes.
The rules and roles themselves were somewhat consistent after they were initially added. We didn't have anything like a surprise "if you stay outside of your room three times in a row, you die" clause hidden in there. But, you know.
week zero, post-trial.
This is bullshit.

Implying that was a success at all.

We could've picked the wrong person, and then Evan would have had to live with that.
[Which, he's assuming, Evan would not have wanted. That said:]
...Unfortunately, it was bound to happen sooner or later, no matter what the "push" may have looked like. Not that it makes anything better.

[He works his jaw, obviously unhappy with all this. Even if it's not what Evan would have wanted... Jesus.]
Did anything like this happen in your last rodeo? Someone's late night fuck up being counted as a murder?

[Someone please save them from murdergames. Let them go home.]
Is that a thing that happened to you? The powers that be switching things up for the shit and giggles?
