Replica and Lancer

[inheritthegrey]

You're still inside the hall, and you can still see the other pairs, but you can neither hear them nor, for some reason, interpret their body language in any meaningful fashion, even if you're normally good at such things.

Two stones - or maybe peach pits? - lie on the floor in front of you. One has the number 1 on it; the other has 2. You get the impression that each of you should pick one.

That's fine.

I might well have done the same, in your place.

Of course. Thank you.

You both did well, and my goal here isn't to hurt.

What is it, then?

Re: Scenario 2

[inheritthegrey]

To make you engage with the story. Anger has value, as does vengeance in its place. As does the ability to take on a role. But this isn't the time or the place for causing pain.

If someone hurts you or your loved ones for real, you'll do what is necessary. And you'll hold back, if the slight is merely a tale. There's strength in doing both.

[what is somebody saying a good thing about me]

I have the strength to do what I need, yeah. That's the only good thing I've learned about myself so far.

An important good thing.

Very.
