[ me realizing we're putting this in mcd's but they were already at mcd's, so whatever, this is later mcd's! jonas is looking at his phone, seemingly scrolling through, but when he looks up he stops short as to avoid bumping straight into melt. ]
Ah, sorry. [ did they exchange names? he's not sure he remembers, and calling her "mysterious alter ego" seems weird. ] ...so, you were right. At least three of them.

Yeah. More like between six or seven of us instead. Not that I'm really happy about the idea of them managing us at all, but if they're really going to be around more then...maybe we'll get more answers about what we can do to finish faster.
[ they said seven weeks, and jonas is really not thrilled with that. ]

You think the game can be expedited?
[ she tilts her head. ]
I'd like to see if you could cheat the system.
[ seven weeks is at least seven times to see someone die, and she is pretty sure someone will kill every week because it's her predisposition to and she's a fate/. ]

Purple said at least seven weeks, but they were also saying all of the games are different. Nothing says we can't find a loophole somehow.
[ because he's also in no way optimistic that people won't start erasing other people to get ahead now that they know what's going on. but maybe he's just being paranoid about it. ]

[ it's not paranoid. it's realistic. they're all dead even if they're not fully dead yet. why wouldn't someone kill? ]
I like that kind of thinking. Loopholes are a way of life.
[ she doesn't mean that literally, but it can be literally now. ]
Kiichi was saying Players who are erased on a winning team stay erased by default. He was blatant about telling us there's room for a loophole there.
[ even if she doesn't know what it is exactly. ]

Wait, really? So even if their team wins if they're erased that's it? [ that seems shitty what the fuck. ] If there's a loophole for that, there's probably a loophole for a few other things. Like tied teams, or other erased people. It's just making sure we aren't unraveling too much too soon too fast.
[ if they can even figure out where to start. ]

You could say it's enough that we're even getting the chance to be revived at all even if have to play some boorish game to do it. [ it is shitty, but she's too used to shitty to be mad about it. ] We'll have seven weeks to figure it out. What's more important to you?
[ it's better to prioritize instead of trying to to do it all at once, she thinks. ]
[ it's better to prioritize instead of trying to to do it all at once, she thinks. ]
[ she has a point. ]
...most important is getting someone else out of here. I mean I'd like to get out, too, but I don't mind prioritizing a little differently. And then I started talking to more people and...a lot of people have important things to get back to.
[ so it's about acknowledging people deserve a second chance in a way while also acknowledging he does not plan on losing. ]

You're prioritizing someone else here, hm?
[ oxenfrees have no last name on profiles, so the automatic connection can't be made, but they've been in enough spaces together that lambda can make a small guess. ]
If we all died unexpectedly or... we don't remember if we did or not so it's the same as if we did, it's unsurprising people have unfinished business. But it sounds like you want to find a loophole so everyone can win, somehow.

[ he doesn't comment on that, but the expression on his face says yes. he is in fact prioritizing. ]
I don't... [ there's a pause because it's a little more complicated than that. ] I don't know if the loophole's possible, or if it should really be taken. We don't know enough about each other to say one way or another. But I figure it's what other people are going to want, so it can't hurt to start looking early.
[ case in point, he's very well aware it's what alex wants, so. that's what he's thinking about now. ]

[ lambda doesn't care too much about saving everyone. her duty as a servant is to save humankind and the world, but that's not a personal desire. ]
Someone could secretly want to destroy the world once they're revived. [ she's nowhere altruistic enough to think everyone should be saved. ] I think it's better to be selective, but people can play the Game however they want.

That's why I said I don't know if it's a loophole that should really be taken. We don't know enough, and if someone goal really was to destroy the world...you'd think enough people would be less gung-ho about letting them win.
[ but. ]
Can I ask what yours are? [ goals. ]

Most people should be against something like that.
[ she knows that much about humankind. morals are something people tend to have. ]
I don't particularly care to lose, and I was under contract to help save the world when I was alive.
[ she doesn't sound excited about the saving the world part, but it's matter-of-fact. ]

It's not great. [ she isn't full of optimism for this reaper's game for a reason. ] The contract can be dispelled, but it usually takes special circumstances. If the world is doomed, there wouldn't be much of a world to live in.
[ so yeah. he got there in the end. ]
[ so yeah. he got there in the end. ]
Still. Not sure that's something I could sign on to, so that's...kind of impressive. [ doing it without really wanting to do it, or at least knowing all of the risks of it. ] Here's hoping being here doesn't count as a breach of contract somehow.
[ haha. ha. ]
