RATS

[ The Traveler appears before you as you board your train, which appears to be a team-themed, sparse, and incredibly modern, like the inside of a commuter train. ]

Today's dream is the dream of a conductor, who, despite the worst befalling his world, endeavoured to make sure his train still ran on time. Death ravaged the land, the bloodied bodies of the fallen rising to claim the living as their prey. Decisions had to be made. He had rivals.

Did he save poor lost souls that were not on his schedule? Did he utterly crush his enemies, to assure supremacy and secure his own life? It doesn't matter. He died, in the end, along with his world.

And so to, shall you. Do you wish to attempt to avert the course of history? The story of the Undead Assault Upon The Locomotive Enthusiasts of The Year Two Thousand and Twelve is now yours, and yours alone.

Buckle up.

No! If all three of us stay we lose more points. And who's going to help Robin? Most of these people can't even fight and the few who can don't have a single weapon!

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....Badass.

[Looking at her and she's very....very calm.]

Do you want people to stay?

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

[ Does she look like she ever wants people to stay?

Lifting that fake arm of her's and pointing for them to go. Get lost, losers. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...

[Nods.]

[Well, gonna listen what the answer to Zelos' questions are first.]

[But gotcha.]

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

[ If they actually drag her body around, she's going to chew them out as soon as she can. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[....WELL THEN.]

....we could gag you to be safe, but it's the final round. You shouldn't turn before we're done.

[glorifiedtrash]

...Alright. We have 23 people. We missed out on saving 21. I wouldn't say we're the highest, but we're probably second highest in passengers saved. We also had the most people show and don't have a death on our score card yet.

Which win do we go for? Passengers or team?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...

Takshaka will have dead teammates. Epona's got some people who would probably have taken risks. Amalthea is probably full alive.

Can't be sure about the last two teams.

But it's probably more on our side to rely on 'Teammates.'

We can gag Badass too, just in case she does turn, but it keeps her from biting anyone else. I'll stick near her, got the skills, and used to dodging things trying to eat me.

[echomyheart]

...Okay. I'm okay with it, if none of us are staying.

[glorifiedtrash]

....Then let's leave all the passengers to cover our escape. They're weaponless and there's no point taking them with us if they can't secure us a win.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....we could bring the kids with us.

[BECAUSE GODDAMN FAMILY FEELS.]

[glorifiedtrash]

...There's no point. It'd just increase the risk of the four of us not all making it out.

[life. sucks.]

[echomyheart]

I don't care what we do with them.

They're not real. They're not people.

[glorifiedtrash]

... [Just going to drop a light hand on her head] Yeah.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

We're leaving 19 people. If we can't get away with that, then we're not gonna get away.

[echomyheart]

Then we'll take the kids. But we're not risking any of us for things that don't exist.

Re: DISCUSSION

[echomyheart]

We've saved a lot of people, and it doesn't matter if we die, if we still rescued more than everyone else. So we should make sure all of the passengers survive.

I'm sure there were teams that went through without taking any risks, so we're already behind on 'people alive' by leaving any of our team behind, in the first place.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorifiedtrash]

If we don't leave anyone behind everyone dies anyway. We have to leave at least a few people behind.

[pause pause pause hates to do this but-]

Delriza! Who counts for more points? Passengers or team members?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

They are scored separately. You win by having either the most passengers, or the least team deaths, as stated.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorifiedtrash]

Does Badass count as alive if she finishes this game out before turning?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

Yes.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorifiedtrash]

Would using the pennies this round have any effect?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

Not unless a team decides to try to reverse their train.

Re: DISCUSSION

[glorifiedtrash]

But that'd be suicide because they'd be going right back into the horde. Are we allowed to know how many passengers and how many team members it'd take to hold the horde off respectively? Or is that something we have to take a gamble on?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

It depends on your decisions up to this point and the options available to you. Use your best judgement.
