[unfair is the thing that bothers her most, but she can't articulate that. it feels so small and pathetic to her, to assume that things ought to be fair, to be surprised when they are not. of course they aren't.
but it still makes her angry.]
One could be a fluke. Two is simply...confirmation.
[ he's quiet, for a moment, folding his hands in his lap. ] It is interesting, how supposedly this was just all last minute. How the demons seem to claim that it's a form of torture for Hell, and that it doesn't have to be murder, that it's us who are obsessed with that, but our last two weeks have both been cases where neither party wanted the final result, and yet still woke up on Thursday, anyway.
[ interesting, in the way that it's awful. the sort of manipulative thing that his version of Eden would create, an ius plot.
frustrating. very, very frustrating. ]
I'd like somewhere to channel it all, but I'm not sure if I know where to start. Do you ever get that feeling? Like there's so much it's overwhelming. A dam with too small of an opening for the river.
Mmm... do something productive with it. [ a huff of a laugh. ] Solve this whole thing like an equation and send us all back to the surface and away from here. Pull a Gideon, flip off Satan on the way out.
I voted incorrectly again. I shall be lectured that this was contrary to Lavi and Uriel's wishes, I am sure. But you see, I don't care about their wishes. My motives are less altruistic.
his brows raise, and for a moment, he quiets, thoughtful. ]
... Interesting. It's a bit of a gamble, if too many others got involved in a similar movement - but throwing away a vote isn't a bad idea in terms of aggressive compliance. Can I ask who you voted for? Not that it matters, but I'm curious.
That's fair. [ how rude of him ] Knowing Date, I'm not sure if he even remembers being rude.
[ but, yeah, definitely a good choice in terms of sticking it to satan. ] It's a good strategy. I feel like there are a lot of unexplored variables with the voting that we could play with, to play the system, if we really wanted to, but - it's dangerous, though I know I don't have to tell you that.
It certainly isn't a good strategy. [she's well aware.] If we all did it, it would be chaos. And if I had any doubt of how the vote would go, I'd have second thoughts about it.
But it offends me that anyone may think I am participating to receive little trinkets. [that's why she always writes the correct answer down under her wrong vote, to be a petty brat.]

It feels like being stuck running in place.

I want to refuse to play.

That note we get with them is so condescending, isn't it?
[ congratulations on being smart enough. fuck you satan ] The entire thing is an unfortunately cruelly designed clown show.
