[Sometimes, he forgets Adelina is actually from like the stone ages and not just a Very Dedicated Cosplayer.]

Bling. Jewelry. They're the same thing. I'm complimenting your item.

[bloodbiter]

Oh, thank you for saying so. It's... very important to me. Sentimental value, I suppose.

[shakes her head as if to clear it.]

It's certainly not worth a life, however.

[antagonize]

Glad to hear that. [Uh.] Y'know — the part about it not being worth a life. Nothing in this room really is.

[Too bad there's someone in the group who might think differently.]

Though I hope you don't change your mind about that later.

[bloodbiter]

[she glances away from the necklace towards him]

I won't. The person it connects me to would disapprove greatly of me hurting anyone to preserve a keepsake. I suppose Alice didn't consider that irony.

[sighs]

May I ask what your item is?

[antagonize]

Or maybe the she did and just didn't care. If we murder, we get to keep the trinkets. If we don't, they get destroyed. I bet Alice gets a kick out of watching us squirm either way.

[The AI is an asshole. Water is wet. The grass is green. Etcétera.

Speaking of assholes, though:]

Sure. You may ask.

[Jason, Adelina doesn't deserve this.]

[bloodbiter]

She wants us to kill more than she wants to see us suffer, though I'm sure both are true.

[makes a face]

...My apologies. You needn't answer.

[antagonize]

I've heard people suffer a lot when they die. It's a win-win situation for her.

[Fuck, Adelina. Don't react so politely??? This is unfair.]

Ugh— No, don't apologize. You're going to make me feel like I kicked someone's prized pet dog.

[bloodbiter]

I hope you don't have experience with such a thing.

[are all your friends dead, jason...

also, wow]

Are you comparing me to a pet dog?

[antagonize]

[He... has no friends.......... THIS IS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

Which is why he's just kind of conspicuously moooooving away from that subject.]

What? No. I'm comparing the feeling. Haven't you ever heard that expression, "kicking the dog"?

[bloodbiter]

...No. Is it common where you're from?

[what is modern slang and terminology]

Why would anyone kick a dog?

[antagonize]

Yeah. It's pretty common.

[Wait. Addendum:]

The expression. Not the action. That's kind of the point of it. Only a complete [almost saying "asshole"] jerk would kick a dog.

[bloodbiter]

Oh. Well... You needn't feel as though you injured an animal. I simply wanted you to know that you needn't answer if it's something you don't wish to speak about. I imagine some of these possessions are rather personal, after all.
