Homeless, but with homes in mind

[crimson_sonar]

So that's your idea. Send a blind man to a game with either collars that choke you to death should you not participate, a game with seemingly relentless gods who forces a tattoo onto you which releases an aphrodisiac should you not participate and... another which doesn't state any punishments and yet participation is part of the activity check.

I know you're not that dense, mundane. You know exactly what I mean by participate. And I do not want to get any others involved in your little plan here. Not Peter, not Frank, not Hank, not Natasha, not Elektra, no one.

Please don't get me wrong, I appreciate the time, effort, and devotion to do your reading and I have to admit that you're pretty much there. I just don't appreciate all this crap you're planning on doing with me.

Well...they're all bad. I can tell you that much.

[crimson_sonar]

Anything that forces you to do that is bad.

[dorkling]

Some more than others...

..still.. I mean death is the worst of the bunch.

[crimson_sonar]

Of course. Without question.

I take it you've been to these kinds of games before.

[dorkling]

Once. It kinda sucked. I didn't really know anyone there.

[crimson_sonar]

Do you think it'd have been better if your friends were there?

[dorkling]

Everything is, I think.

[crimson_sonar]

That's very true.

Is your mundane planning on sending you to one of those games again?

[dorkling]

Depends on what happens... I don't even know.

[arach_nerd]

...is it wrong of me to want to see Castle get stuck in one of those games just to see how he reacts?

[crimson_sonar]

I get the feeling he'll handle it okay. Of course, that's until he gets choked on the collar at the Atia place.

[tyrannicide]

If you have to ask.

[crimson_sonar]

Not really surprised that he asked, either.

[latrodectus]

None of this sounds very Catholic.

[crimson_sonar]

No it's not, Natasha. My mundane's technically Catholic himself but a lot of the things he does is very Catholic.

For instance, this.

[latrodectus]

Well. You always were looking for things to feel guilty about.

[crimson_sonar]

I've got enough things to feel guilty about.

[latrodectus]

It wouldn't be your fault, you realize. Being sent to one of those… [ she can't call it a game ] places.

[crimson_sonar]

No, but that doesn't make the guilt feel any less. Especially if I do go to one of those... places.

[ Consequently, they can be considered "games" since you're being forced to live in a way you don't want to but have little choice in doing so. At least, Matty sees it that way. ]

[latrodectus]

I know that, Matthew.
