YOU'RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT

WHO: the Captain + You
WHAT: contractually obligated price is right game
WHEN: 11/18, like nightish?
WHERE: Bellona Theater
WARNINGS: N/A, currently

[you've heard the announcement, the sound of Friday's cautious optimism as she spoke it. you've waited all day. now, it's time for the game.

the amount of effort that has gone into this production at Bellona can be safely defined as “minimal.” there are three podiums, with three slate boards and three pieces of chalk. there is another podium, currently empty, next to a plain folding table. there is a tablecloth draped over the table, covering a lumpy, inscrutable shape.

the most remarkable thing is the giant wheel set up on the other side of the empty podium. the slices of the giant circle are colorful, but also completely blank. the Captain actually spends 30 minutes prior to the start of the event simply sitting in front of it, back to the audience, and spinning it, listening to the loud clacking noise pick up and then die down again, before spinning it once more.

clackclackclack clack clack. clack. clackclackclackclackclack.

it's gonna be a long night.]

Isn't that how most knowledge is first gained? And why the future is so much more peaceful. Most of the knowledge from murders has already been gained.

I'm not an idealist. I dislike humans and I hate gods. But knowledge is something that should be shared. Not taken.

[She stands and stretches. Now that things are winding down, it's probably time to beat the crowd out of here.]

I'm an idealist. That's why I like the Beatles.

[Just. That's a thing he really said. But he gets up to go grab Klaus. Though he's also going to wait to congratulate Ari.]

I never kill if I'm smart enough to figure out another way. But it takes both sides to make an negotiation work, and only one to make it end in ruin. Even so, I have no doubts: someday humanity will get strong enough that violence will be completely obsolete. I'm lucky to be here to see it get so much closer.

I do not have your faith.

[She smiles though]

See you later, Demon King.
