I mean... If you have any other ideas, we can try. I don't really get how playing a game is going to make the door unlock, but weirder things have happened.

[battling]

Not really seein' any other ways out besides that. Ain't interested in bein' stuck all day.

[He'll take a seat across from Rupert. Let's play this dumb little game.]

[agleam]

[he reads out the rules.]

I... think I get it?

[battling]

Ain't like we gotta play it right.

[ he's about to cheat on this silly board game. Mostly because he can't be bothered to figure out how it really worked. ]

[agleam]

Didn't we decide we have to play it to get out of here? Is it still going to work if we don't follow the rules?

[battling]

Who's gonna hold us to it?

[agleam]

Maybe there's someone watching us and they're somehow controlling when the door unlocks...?

[battling]

There's gotta be more interestin' shit to watch.

[agleam]

I'm not going to pretend I understand how they think. I don't really want to understand that, anyways.

[battling]

[He takes a seat and starts properly sorting out the card stacks.]

[agleam]

Thanks.

[time for life!!]

[battling]

[He'll spin it and land on 7]

Highest number goes first?

[agleam]

Sure.

[he rolls a five.]

Looks like it's your go.

[battling]

[Stares at start college or start career.]

I ain't goin' back to school.

Lay out the career cards. [He's got to pick from these.]

[agleam]

Yeah, avoiding school seems like a good plan.

[he fans the cards out so bradley can pick one.]

[battling]

[Picks up police and immediately looks disgusted.]

's this law enforcement?

[agleam]

Uh... Maybe?

[shrugs...]

There wasn't anything called police back where I'm from.

[battling]

We don't have these things either.

Got knights in Central. [They aren't great either.]

[agleam]

But you're from the North, right? What do you have there?

[battling]

None.

[agleam]

Wait, but - I thought you said you were in jail, kind of?

[battling]

There's the twins, but it's not like there's a word for 'em besides that.

[agleam]

And it's just them? Two people for your entire part of the country?

[battling]

Ain't really laws up there, y'know.

[agleam]

Everything about your world continues to concern me. Have you thought about, like... going to a place where there are laws? Although I guess you'd have to wait until you're done with your sentence.
