DODO CABIN CATCHALL
[She shrugs, rather a bit like a sullen child.]
I didn't want to play.

[ crea is also not coming in until later, but, much like xiao, he's also bringing food. he may have, in fact, asked for a tray of pizza to bring, which he'll set next to xiao's rolls.
and after he does he will fall face first on the bed, with a drawn-out sigh. ]
This sucked.

Were you okay if something bad had happened to you because of that?

[Just crossing over to sit on the edge of the bed and pat-pats Crea on the back of the shoulder.]
Yeah.
I wonder what they're planning to do with Sonya.
Yeah.

They don't need our involvement at this point. They got their second.
[And yet, that didn't mean much, given the rules had changed before.]
I just hope it's not more spectacle.

They don't seem like the types that are reasonable, if ya ask me.
[ they were already judge and jury for a good chunk of the day, so who's to say they won't also be executioner? ]
Do ya really think that they're tryin' to find a way outta here and that these are just some "necessary sacrifices" or do ya think they're lying 'bout that?

I don't know. I'd rather think they're cold but honest rather than completely chaotic.
...Well. One of them, anyway. [Rapt0r sure was feisty.]
But maybe that's foolish of me.

You're a really kind guy, aren't ya, Beelz?
[ that's said after a moment of silence, like a simple observation. ]
Maybe you're right, though. But making these sort of sacrifices still doesn't sit right with me. Leaves a pretty bitter taste in my tongue.

Nothing would have happened.
But I'd prefer it to be on my own terms, I suppose.

Do you want a hug?
[That's all Nona can offer.]
[That's all Nona can offer.]
Mn. You wanted to keep your agency.
You've got a lot of courage.
You've got a lot of courage.
I'd rather think better of others and be let down than to be bitter. I don't think their intentions are as good as I originally thought they might be. But I can't indulge in life if I'm doubting everything.
[Even it gets him called stupid or childish or simple. He's never been the one to cast total suspicion at first glance.]
It makes me feel like a pawn in a game, with our administrators as the game masters. [He frowns deeply.] I don't like feeling powerless.

As expected of the avatar of gluttony. But I don't think that's a totally bad way to see things in life either. It's good to see the better of people rather than be doubting them all the time.
[ he laughs softly, though perhaps that can be considered something closer to a sigh rather than a proper laugh. feeling powerless, huh... ]
Feeling powerless in an island that supposedly brought us together because of our powers is pretty ironic, I'll tell ya that.

[It really is, and Beel doesn't like how his stomach twists at dwelling on it. So he stays silent, mulling, stoic.
Then his hand reaches back out to Crea's shoulder, a firm and fraternal gesture.]
Do you want some pizza?

Oh.
[ crea pauses at the gesture, almost as if unsure what to do for a second, before relaxing. he cranes his head to look at the tray of pizza he brought, as if he had forgotten about the thing. ]
I had brought it for ya'll, but...
[ his stomach growls softly. ]
I had kinda forgotten that I was hungry.

You're a kind person too, Crea.
[He nods his head towards the platter, before offer ing that hand to help Crea up, should he want it.]
Share some with us. Remember, it tastes better that way.

[ crea blinks in surprise at the hand offered to him for a half of a second, but after the corners of his lips turn up in a small smile.
kind, huh...
taking the hand, he sits up. ]
Yeah... you're definitely right about that. Pass a slice. I'll eat with ya.
