[network] @duster, audio; day 350

[bywolves]

[ There's a soft voice that comes on the network during the evening, after lockdown - it's mild, but there's an undertone in that calm that's almost unsettling. ]

Well. This place is awful, not that I need to tell any of you that. [ A beat. ] And because most of you don't bother to have private conversations, it's easy to see that there are a couple of people who seem rel-bent on making things just a little more awful.

If you've a person in mind and something worth my time to trade, I can fix any sort of issue you might have. I'm not picky, and I'm very good at problem-solving. I imagine you all can figure out how to contact me if you'd like to discuss solutions further.

[ And the feed ends. ]

[jmencalisse]

Rel-bent on making things a little more awful yourself, huh?

@Enoch, audio

[warriorscribe]

[Enoch sounds very, very tired. This is nothing new. There's something else tonight, though, a sort of thoroughly flat done tone.]

Please don't cause any more unnecessary deaths.

[There's a beat of silence before Tadashi begins speaking, tone cautious. He's coming into whatever this is blind, but he can't afford to stand off on the sidelines and remain clueless. He's lost too many days already.]

The biggest issue we're all facing is getting home safely. What exactly do you have in mind?

Oh my god, can we all stop killing each other?

@duster, audio

[bywolves]

Yes, and?

@duster, audio

[bywolves]

No, no. You must have misheard - I aim to make things better.

@duster, audio

[bywolves]

I don't think I said anything about unnecessary deaths. Or death at all, in fact.

@duster, audio

[bywolves]

You don't need to tell me twice. I'm just as focused on getting out as the rest of you. But I do perform a service and I do it well. I solve problems. What I'm solving is up to you.

@duster, audio

[bywolves]

[ A tsk-tsk sound. ]

I didn't say anything about killing anybody. What does it say about you that you assumed that's what I meant?

[ YOU'RE NOT HIS REAL MOM ALFIE SOLOMONS ]

[fifty]

It's all about what you said, dude, who cares about you trying to turn it around on people?

[bywolves]

[ There's an audible shrug. ]

If you don't like what I have to offer, don't hire me.

[fifty]

No one should hire you for anything.

[bywolves]

And you're... who, exactly? The authority on what sorts of business people conduct in this town, I assume.

[fifty]

Yup, so I'm shutting you down and reporting you to the BBB.

[bywolves]

Ooh. Scary. I'm terrified.

[fifty]

I bet you don't even know what I'm talking about.

[bywolves]

No idea.

[fifty]

Thought so. So go do something more useful.

[bywolves]

This is useful. I have a skill, and I'm marketing it.

[fifty]

You're just giving everybody a million more reasons to fight with each other and not work on getting out of here.

[bywolves]

Please, like they wouldn't do that regardless.

This has potential to solve more issues than anything.

[fifty]

C'mon, you've been here long enough to know it totally won't.
