[ okay but three weeks of this and HE'S HAD ENOUGH so time to argue with alice

sorry, lavi. he's ignoring you. ]

Alice! [ bangs fist on table ] Alice! I have an issue with this set up!

[ HE HAS A COMPLAINT. ]

[al2955]

I am afraid I forgot my complaint box, Rhys, but you are free to rate, comment, and review the case.

[jackhole]

[ wags a finger at her ]

No, shut up. Don't give me that sarcasm. What I want to know is why you let the murderers speak? Like this one, giving this guy -- Lavi, right? Lavi. Why are you letting him like, give his final words or whatever. Who needs 'em! Boo hoo, he killed his friend, who cares. Just kill him already and let's move on. I am going stir crazy in here, holy shit. I want to go pee!

[ the most sympathetic guy ]

[al2955]

Every villain must be allotted his or her villainous breakdown. Along with this, it could provide time for comedic fodder, or for another participant to carry out the retirement in my stead.

[ someone do her work for her ]

1/2

[jackhole]

[ someone didn't read the rulebook as thoroughly as jack did so he just looks surprised ]

Wait, we can kill them? Really?

2/2

[jackhole]

[ shit wait, he forgot to bitch ]

Also, villainous breakdowns are cheap and useless if the villain isn't sympathetic? This kid wasn't sympathetic, Alice.

[refactor]

Man, you are on a roll this week, babe.

[ Jack is definitely cackling right after, since Rhys being Rhys is always 10/10 hilarious. ]

What, like you don't have a complaint the rest of the time?

[jackhole]

[ well, he's flustered on many accounts here because 1) dat compliment, 2) "babe", and 3) YES OF COURSE HE DOES. ]

I-- I don't want to waste everyone's time!

[ THAT'S A FUCKING LIE, RHYS ]

[refactor]

[ Jack makes a pfft noise of dismissal, but it's also pretty quickly followed with a laugh, considering the complain that Rhys actually makes... Good job, Rhys... ]

Nnnot sure if that's really the case here, but, hey, it's at least hilarious. You arguing with Al is always a highlight. Think you'll end up on the suspect list again next week? She's pretty sensitive, seems like.

[jackhole]

[ just running a hand through his hair here because uhm. ]

She should get thicker skin then, if she's going to do stuff like... run a... circle of slaughter? Hn. Thicker programming?

[refactor]

[ Jack stares at Rhys for a few moments, since he's not sure why he's so suddenly nervous? But then it dawns on him, and his cheer deflates slightly. ]

...Yeahhhh, let's do both of ourselves a favor and not go there.

[ It's weird to talk about? He hates realizing it, for one, but he'd also hate to talk about it in public. ]

[jackhole]

[ there's a bit of a confused look here for a moment before he seems to realize something and oh, oh right. uh.

awkwardly... reaching out a hand to pat jack's shoulder in comfort?? oh my god. he just stiffly brings it back awkwardly, running his hand over his hair and sort of stammering out -- ]

Right, uh. Yeah. No. ... Okay!

[ ahhhhhhhh he's going to leave now. bye jack. ]
