...Were we in the middle of a conversation just now?

[worstweasley]

No, but I was looking through your file and now that my own warden has disappeared, I'm a little concerned that we need to be making more progress than we have been.

So could I?

[amenable_lunatic]

Sure, I can play games. ...Do you really think you're ready to host one?

[worstweasley]

Do what you do? Set up rules and contestants and make them compete for glory of an unnamed source of glory or power? Of course.

[amenable_lunatic]

Yeah but you wanna be part of the spectacle too. Can you sell it and get people to play, or even just come watch?

[worstweasley]

I commanded armies. It can't be that difficult.

[amenable_lunatic]

I've got total faith in you. You just have to be charismatic enough that even if people don't like you, they'll hang on your every word.

[worstweasley]

That's simple. People don't like me, and yet they followed me.

[amenable_lunatic]

It's not gonna just be people in the military. Look around. That's gonna be a boon to you but I think this is probably gonna require you to let your hair down a little too.

[worstweasley]

I said I would do whatever it took to graduate you and I meant it. We're doing this.

[amenable_lunatic]

You think playing a game will graduate me?

[worstweasley]

Hardly. But I think you need to empathize more with your people and to do that effectively, you must see things through their eyes.

[amenable_lunatic]

Sure. Like in flood and breaches.

[worstweasley]

A little like that, yes. But if possible, I'd like to expand more on things specific to you.

[amenable_lunatic]

Don't think the Admiral is gonna schedule a field trip back to Sakkar any time soon.

[worstweasley]

No, don't you see? You don't have to be on Sakkar. You just have to do what I tell you.

[amenable_lunatic]

That really depends on the game, whether that's how it winds up going.

[worstweasley]

You want to get out of here, don't you?

[amenable_lunatic]

Scratch that; I wanna see what you're planning.

[worstweasley]

And I want you to get you off this ship so I can help my people. ALL my people, including you.

[amenable_lunatic]

See now you're just stalling on the details. Is this part of the game?

[worstweasley]

I've already told you the game. I will put you in a position of one of your gladiators and construct my own obstacle course.

Make it out alive and I will grant you whatever you want.

[amenable_lunatic]

[ Hands on hips ] Oh, so when you program in death scenarios, it's suddenly character building.

[worstweasley]

Yes. I'm the warden.

[amenable_lunatic]

See, you put it that way and all I'll do is graduate so I can have the extra privileges.

[ He's joking, clearly; he can't keep a serious face that long if he doesn't want to hold it ]

Look, I hear ya. And sure. Let's try it out. You know I'm up for anything. [ Besides inventory. ]
