don't worry
so much

performance ♥ instructions ♥ turn-in

The lights flicker on and you find yourself standing inside a vintage-looking subway car.

It both feels and sounds like it's in motion, but the only thing that can be seen outside the windows is pitch black darkness.

It also feels like there's somebody else in the car with you. There are three small cases in the front, middle, and back of the car that hold a small vial.

[Not allowed.]

It just says 'sacrifice something valuable', but value depends on each person, right? So you have to pick something valuable ot you.

[chronicpessimist]

[ ... just looks at him. ]

[silentscout]

[Makes a face.]

For example, I would pick something like my hearing. It would be difficult to get around without it, but it's not as bad as other things.

[chronicpessimist]

Do you want to do that?

[silentscout]

I could. That would probably count for one point.

If you have something in mind we can go put it in the console over there.

[chronicpessimist]

A whole sense sounds like more than one point.

[ :/ ]

I can come up with something.

[silentscout]

I can get by without it.

[He'll trust that she can come up with something though, so he starts walking to the end of the train car to go put his in.]

[chronicpessimist]

[ makes a face like she doesn't like that. ]

[ then moves to follow him. ]

[silentscout]

[Pauses and looks at her.]

...did you want to go first?

[chronicpessimist]

Yeah, before I chicken out of never tasting anything good again.



[ ....... her one joy in life, diet lemonade. she'll perish. ]

[silentscout]

[Her diet lemonade...]

'kay.

[He steps back so she can go. Surely nothing will go wrong.]

[chronicpessimist]

[ you don't mess with diet lemonade!!!! ]


[ Types in "Ayala Zohar". Does the puzzle. ]

[ Fail! ]

Seriously? I had it right.

[silentscout]

Problem with the captcha?

[chronicpessimist]

[ Tries again. Success! ]

Why does this thing need a captcha anyway?

[silentscout]

I don't know. It seems silly.

[He goes over to enter his now. Did she lock him out with her answer?]

[chronicpessimist]

[ not yet i was still during the gacha rolls portion but since it doesn't need to be anything and her next two are successes - ]

[ but now because she puts in taste as an option....... are you proud of her]

[silentscout]

[Excellent choice.

He nods and goes to put his in, only to have the captcha fail before trying a second time and getting a success. He put in hearing.]

[chronicpessimist]

[ tilts her head.... ]

Can you read lips well?

[silentscout]

I know some sign language.

[Some.]

And we have phones. It would be annoying to deal with but I can manage.

[chronicpessimist]

... If you're sure.

[ it doesn't matter if he's sure. ]
