Pup is not happy. At all.

[ancientlogics]

Are you stoned? You think it's a good idea to send me there? You saw what happened with that ritual sacrifice.

[Exactly, Marty. You're the one who wants society to crumble. This is your chance to start a change without ending the world.]

No, no, see that's where you're wrong, mun. I got my chance to make a change. I want to go back to my front seat at ground zero with Dana. I don't want to go back to another killing ground. A change at the cost of watching my friends die? Fucking puppeteers. I'm not gonna do a monkey dance for you.

dude really, she made the account you better just go get your cymbals and vest, because you're already on a chain.

[ancientlogics]

[He chuckles.] I like you.

It was wrong enough with the zombies. And those fuckers tried to play us like puppeteers. These so-called Hunger Games are no different. I'm not playing those kinds of games. Forget the vest and cymbals. She can put me there but she can't make me play their game.

[bloodcursedseer]

gee thanks. [cause that's rare, most people are confused by her.]

Poor you, slotted for the same place muscle head's goin'. You should feel lucky it's based off something with decent writing unlike say that whole Sparkling vampire thing. Because really... that just takes them out of the horror genre and straight to "Will never be believable again" in my book.

[ancientlogics]

Muscle head, huh?

No, no, no, no, no, no. You see, they did that on purpose. I'm pretty sure Suzanne Collins was hired by the Facility to write those books. Write something completely innocuous and sparkly about them and no one will be afraid of vampires anymore. Until they raise them during the ritual. Just like Disney with The Little Mermaid. They're puppeteers, I'm telling you.

[bloodcursedseer]

Don't get me started on Disney... Really I'd rather be skinned alive than watch one of those crap fests.

Probably have some demonic lawyers helping them. Would be the only way a lot of pop stars even get on the air. Because they sure ain't using crossroads demons anymore. Crowley has some taste after all.

[Just an amused snort.]

[ancientlogics]

You think this is funny? Not cool, man, not cool.

[coolerwithamerman]

It's hysterical kid.

I mean it. Absolute riot.

[ancientlogics]

Do you mean the part where your army of horrors got lose?

[coolerwithamerman]

..Oh no, no that wasn't funny.

[His eyes narrow at him] And you know they didn't get out right? I mean I know you've completely fried your brain but they were let out.

Two different words.

[ancientlogics]

I don't know. It certainly looked like a riot to me. And you have to admit there's an element of irony to it. It takes a whole facility of you people to try to sacrifice five unsuspecting kids and not only do you fail to finish the ritual, your entire facility gets wiped out by your own army of monsters. It's really something to think about. Really, if you people didn't want something like that to happen, why did you even have a System Purge button? You must have known someone would eventually use it.

[coolerwithamerman]

You know what else has a purge button? The space shuttle. It's to prevent harmful toxins in the oxygen tanks from contaminating the air supply for the astronauts.

[funny enough, he doesn't sound mad, just...blank. Cold.]

[ancientlogics]

Right because the best way to keep the toxins from poisoning any astronauts is buy releasing them into the main part of the shuttle.

[coolerwithamerman]

[hand goes up...]

I just remembered technically you killed my best friend.

Not to mention my coworkers.

And my wife.

Did you even...think about that. I mean in the long run? Not just me and my friends and believe me we were morally conflicted enough but the other six billion people on the planet?

[ancientlogics]

Technically, you killed three of my friends and tried to kill me and another friend. Yeah, we thought about that. The thing that you "morally conflicted" people don't realize is that dying isn't the worst thing. the worst thing? Is becoming like you people. Sure, you're all morally conflicted but you still play people like puppeteers. You personally choose your victims and torture them to death. What makes you any better than your Ancient Ones?

[coolerwithamerman]

[His eyes narrow] I'm a goddamn -

[He was a goddamn. His hands fold. his eyes close.]

We don't choose our victims.

They were selected.

[ancientlogics]

And you say my brain is fried. You may not have personally chosen us but one of you did. Perhaps it was your director. You still participated.

[coolerwithamerman]

[He has his reasons, he has his friends, he has his reasons..]

Shut the fuck up.

[ancientlogics]

Uh, no. See, you people have this idea that a thousand people living for another year is more important than who those thousand people are and who they become. People like you are why humanity has so many problems in the first place. All your compromising, your conspiracies, and your cover ups. Maybe there's another race out there who can defeat the ancient gods without losing who they are. Maybe the whole human race now could get rid of them permanently without these yearly sacrifices. But you were never willing to give us the chance to find out. And you kept up your lies to make us feel safe and then turned murder into a party. And you call me a fool.
