Tick-tock, tick-tock.

Time's running out. Someone will end up in trouble here. But not me.

Tick-tock. The question is who will win this? I'm not taking sides. Except my own.

[The other side of the couch dips under his weight.]

I'm not taking sides, either. But—

[synanthrope]

[She looks over at him, and moves until she's sitting next to him, closer.]

But-

[intheblanks]

[He chews on the corner of his lip and looks across.]

This place has one of the best defence systems in the city that I know of.

[And he's sitting next to it.]

[synanthrope]

Yes.

[She's watching him, trying to figure out what he means]

Do you want to invite people to come here?

[intheblanks]

[Yes, that would be the reaction he was trying to gauge.]

If they need to, then. Yes.

[synanthrope]

There's an autopsy room. On the third floor. Behind some paneling.

[Meaning: she can also turn it into a medical suite.]

[intheblanks]

[Yes, but. Well. His mouth makes some interesting shapes before he replies.]

Why is there an autopsy room?

[flammiferous]

What?

[synanthrope]

Sorry, hearing problems?

[flammiferous]

Sorry, you're being cryptic. Think you could explain what you mean by your message to some of us newbies?

[synanthrope]

Don't you hear the clock?

[flammiferous]

Yeah, and it's annoying. I want to know about the sides we're supposed to be taking.

There are the deities, and the revolutionaries.

[ Saya, riddles are creepy but you're hot. ]

That's probably because you're a badass. [ A pause ] How's Chase? I mean if he dies we're all fucked.

[synanthrope]

I would never let Chase die.

[studmuffin]

Good, I need him.

[ A pause. ] Not that you don't, you probably do. Not for the same reason as me. For entirely different reasons. Sexier reasons. I'm going to shut up now.

[synanthrope]

Are you sexually attracted to him?

[studmuffin]

No. [ Maybe a little. ] I need him for drugs!

[ Not better. ] Drugs I am allowed legally.

[synanthrope]

Why not? He's very attractive.

[dignity_misery]

I'm not interested in either of their 'sides.'

[synanthrope]

Not interested in what they might give us?

[dignity_misery]

They haven't offered anything I want.

[synanthrope]

They offered people whatever they wanted. Didn't you see?

[dignity_misery]

I've had that before.

[synanthrope]

Did you come to to tell me anything else?
