When the curfew comes, we'll all fall asleep. There won't be anything we can do to stop anyone unless you plan on killing someone to stay awake.
People are gonna die 'cause that's how this game works. That's how it always works. Our mission's to play this game in a way that brings everyone back to life and if that means protecting some Ducks then that's our job now too.
[Mutsu??? Ominous?? He’s been pretty quiet, because he’s agree with everything thus far, but this conversation has taken an interesting turn. Wandering over, crossing his ankles together and leaning on Magnus like he’s a wall.]
Would prefer the minimum number of people dying in a game where, uh, numbers matter though. Extra murders just hurt us, my dude.
[Looking at Taako when he comes over. He looks a little like he was going to say something, but he's unsure.]
Yeah. I think we're generally on the same page here, but every extra person who gets killed, the harder it's gonna be. So I think...I'm not ready to accept there's no way to happen Thursday night before it's even Thursday night. There might be a way.
( Mutsu is unfazed, even in front of a big guy like Magnus and with two against one here. He looks directly ahead at both of them and holds up three fingers-- one for each point he makes. One, )
Last eight weeks. ( Two, ) Make sure the number of Ducks doesn't outnumber the Players. Since that's not gonna happen at this rate: ( three, ) make sure at least one Duck lives.
Those are the numbers that matter.
It's the middle of the week and it's already on a course whether we like it or not-- and I don't. ( In case his attitude right now isn't carrying that across. ) But if we end up with someone else to go after, we can let a Reaper go. So we gotta try to set next week and every week after this one 'til the end.
Get everyone on the same page as us so we can stop the extra kills... and find out who's willing to make some sacrifices.
You’re, uh, right, except on the whole just one Duck to live thing. That’s just not good odds, right? We don’t want to be around with one Reaper, hanging in the balance between someone making one dumb mistake and offing them out of some misguided attempt to do the right thing, and then suddenly we’re all fucked.
. . . Think you’re right on the having someone else to go after though. [Fuckin’ sucks though!!!! Looking up at Magnus.] If it takes the heat off the Reapers, it’s totally garbage, but it’s kind of what we have to do. At least for this week. I don’t think we can do it again. We lose too many people every friggin’ time.
[Sighing out though, tugging on the end of his braid.]
They offer players deals, right? If they kill. That’s the appeal, but it’s about, uh, making sure no one is tempted by it. If they’re willing to make us do this shit to each other, why do they think they’re going to fulfill a promise like that?
Yeah. Someone else has to go, eventually. We're not always gonna have easy choices to make. But I do think there are ways, to make it harder for someone to get away with killing. So if you know someone who's gonna try, tell us. We might be able to stop them for their own sake.

( So he's not saying anything. )
We'll figure it out when it comes up.

( Yeah. He sure is just going to wave his hand in the air now and smile everything away, )
We got some other people to be talking to if we want things to work out, don't - ya - think~?

Sure, sure, sure sure sure. [Is he stuck in a loop.] God I’m so friggin’ tired.
