[They listen to all of this. Then they sit up properly as they turn over some thoughts in their mind.]

'Consume', if you are confident in your fighting skills and want to be able to heal afterwards and hide your involvement.

'Fear', if you think avoiding the fight is better. You can make them afraid of wherever it is you hide for the night.

...the team powers?

Is that what Yae used with that "the mole" thing? Because if so, that didn't help her much in the end.

[becomemod]

It's possible. I don't know what the other team powers do, but they're probably strong and useful if you're in trouble.

The other way to be prepared is to recognize potential risks and be ready for an attack. If you know someone dislikes you and is inclined to murder, you can have a weapon with you and be ready to strike back the moment you see them.

[They are describing counter proposals, essentially.]

[foreverphantom]

[ scoffs ] Like I haven't been doing that already.

This is useless. You can't help us stay alive any more than we can do it ourselves, can't you? The only way to make sure we don't get killed is to beat them to the punch and kill first.

[becomemod]

That's a rather short-sighted way of looking at things. What will happen at the trial?

[foreverphantom]

We didn't catch anyone this time, did we?

And if someone else goes for it too, then that's even more cover for me.

[becomemod]

It's really your choice on if you do it or not. I'm sure you're capable. Just go into it prepared, and pick a meaningful target.

[foreverphantom]

A "meaningful" target?

[becomemod]

People will be more understanding if it's a good reason. Like if someone is bullying you here and you "snap and take them out", for example. Or if you fake evidence to make it look like you fought in self-defense. You're pretty good at acting like a normal teenager, you could pull it off.

[foreverphantom]

Hmm. I guess if I get caught, that would be a good backup, just in case.

But are people here big enough saps to actually avoid voting for me, if that happened? They didn't exactly show Mika much mercy.

[becomemod]

Mika was also the first one and nobody knew she would get executed until it was too late.

You could also pick someone most people dislike to kill.

[foreverphantom]

[ scoffs ] Like who? With Hans gone, all the most hateable ones are gone. Everyone else has got a bunch of supporters willing to go to bat for them.

[becomemod]

[Excuse.]

I got along with Hans...

[Just. Saying.]

[foreverphantom]

[ gives them an incredulous look ]

Well, I didn't say universally hated. Just mostly. Aside from you, I'm not sure how many other people really cared for him.

[becomemod]

Which is a shame, because being unpopular shouldn't be a reason to die.

[foreverphantom]

Maybe not. But people are petty and downright heartless sometimes.

[becomemod]

They certainly are, aren't they?

[It's fine. This is the life they were given, they will have to vibe with it.]
