R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

[It actually takes Mike a moment to identify 2-D -- the black eyes were rather distinctive]

A new one that isn't evil would be nice...

[Although he doubts the university has lots of hats available]

[12d3]

[He misses them :(]

Oh, yeah... Mister Anderson did say somethin' about evil fashion.

[A pause.]

......you were that hat's henchmen, then?

[destroythefuture]

[He winces when 2-D says it like that. The hat's henchmen...and he didn't even know that]

Can you--can you not say that ever again?

[12d3]

S-sorry.

[It's okay, 2-D understands. As one idiot murderer to another, he Gets It.]

Um, what.. what happened, if you don't mind me asking? I heard a little bit from Mister Anderson but I'd like to hear your side, too.

[destroythefuture]

[...may as well talk about it. It should be a good warning in case Doris is haunting the afterlife. (Good thing she isn't, soulless hat]

...I thought Doris was my friend. She told me to go to the AV room and once that cop guy got there she tried to get me to kill him...I didn't even move, and then he shoved me to the floor and did this... [He gestures with his hands. What's the term, again?] ...electric thing? She threw him out of the window while I was fainting, and then she got me to hide the body before...before trying to kill me too.

That's...what happened...

[Should he talk about Alexander? That seems to get everyone angry, judging by how the trial went. Maybe he should avoid that, in case everyone in graveyard pops out of nowhere and starts yelling at each other again]

[12d3]

Your.... your hat did all of that?

[2-D looks appalled at hearing that, his eyebrows raised.]

That's not fair of you to die! Why wasn't she exe.. e-ex.. oh, whatever! She should've been killed instead of you!

[destroythefuture]

Uh, someone else killed her and saved my life. You'll...see him somewhere around here, if this works like I think it does?

[And as soon as Mike sees Alexander -- or Hank -- he'll run in the opposite direction because he's a coward and doesn't want to face them]

[12d3]

[Oh, if Rebecca or Osomatsu showed up believe me 2-D would do the exact same.]

Even if someone else killed her... ugh, I don't understand the point to any of this killin' stuff! We were supposed to be heroes! Making us do all this wretched stuff to each other... i-it's not fair! We didn't even have a chance to be a hero in the first place!

[destroythefuture]

They lied, that's all! They want to kill us all!

[It's as simple as that -- although maybe it's because Mike never believed the being heroes part not even for a second]

[12d3]

[2-D nods, and he folds his arms across his chest to hug himself a little bit.]

They're a bunch of bloody knobs!

[....]

..sorry for swearin', I'm very frustrated right now.

[destroythefuture]

...bloody knobs is a curse word?

[Guess who knows nothing about the intrincacies of Great Britain English]

[12d3]

Uh, well... the first word is, yes. "Knob" is just slang for penis.

[YOU'RE LEARNING SO MUCH TODAY]

[destroythefuture]

...I shouldn't have asked.

[He makes a mental note for himself: don't ask for clarification from 2-D. Ignorance is bliss. Sorry, 2-D, part of the problem of having no social interaction for decades is he really hasn't gotten past the shames of, you know, when he was like twelve!]
