TAKSHAKA

[ 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.

[ ALSO THIS BULLSHIT IS NOW BLARING OVER THE INTERCOMS ]

Um.

We should save all of the passengers.

We save ten this round.

Naturally. That's how Takshaka works. And I--

[he cuts himself off, then just nods]

We'll save everyone.

No. It isn't Takshaka's way to make a choice like that.

These people aren't real, and if we save twenty now, the horde catches up. If the horde catches up this early, we won't be able to save more later on.

Yeah.

That is just a thing, that we have to do.

If we save everyone now, we doom even more people down the line.

We should save as many as possible.

Which is all of them, and we can make it work later.

Or we can save everyone possible, instead of dooming people to die.

These people aren't even real in the first place. We'll save as many as we can without risk, but risking everyone, everyone else down the line, and us who actually are real, isn't a good idea.

That's not how it works! Takshaka saves everybody. I--

Saving ten people carries no risk. But if we save more than that, the zombies can catch up, and if they catch up this early, they'll get everyone down the line.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] pchaaair 2014-01-04 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It does not matter if they aren't real. They are still people, and for all we know, there could be consequences later, because, sometimes a mistake that you make early on, will fuck you up later.

Saving twenty only risks it. It's not a guarantee.

We can make an attempt, to do our best.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] experiencepoints 2014-01-04 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That's exactly what I'm saying. If we save people now, it'll have bad consequences for our ability to save people later.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] experiencepoints 2014-01-04 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
We're saving the only real people here, and that's us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] experiencepoints 2014-01-04 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
It'll still bring them a lot closer for the next round, and it risks us.

It won't be an attempt. We will succeed.
