Yes, I know that one. That's a rather common proverb.

I guess it's just in how you view it, though. If you're chasing the rainbow expecting to reach something tangible or life-changing... then yes, of course that's going to be temporary and unsatisfying. [It wasn't realistic, after all. Rainbows were about as fleeting of an occurance that you could get.]

But... it still doesn't change that there's always something beautiful about a rainbow. And chasing one down, even it just means enjoying it a little longer, makes for a fond memory. And that memory will come to light if you ever see one again.

That's what I think of. For people, or places, or conversations... I would rather enjoy it in the moment, and cherish that happy feeling.

It's okay. It's a complicated subject. If it were so easy for everyone that you could just will yourself to think one way or another, then... I suppose things like depression or trauma or addiction wouldn't be quite as, um... debilitating. But that's not realistic. So... I think that questioning it, and figuring out what's important and how it really affects you and the people around you, and how you can be content with wherever you end up... that's something you don't have to rush through.

[Her smile grows sympathetic. She had a feeling this wouldn't be an entirely easy conversation, but she's not about to push it any farther.]

Still... you gave me my answer, and you found one for yourself. Thank you, Mammon.

You had questions about the information on my profile, correct?

[personal profile] brokethefirst 2020-03-02 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not. But... I told you that we could speak about it once you gave me an answer.

I don't want to seem dishonest in that regard.

[Is he just expecting her to spell it all out? Oh good gracious. She sighs, but closes the book in front of her.]

Well... when you originally chased me down, it was to ask about the line of my occupation, correct? Do you remember what it said?

[You are over 5000 years old, sir, you have no excuse at this point.]

That's right.

Did you know this isn't the first time I've been stuck in a situation like this?

[personal profile] brokethefirst 2020-03-02 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

The last time wasn't quite this large. Only ten people. But it was very similar.

I think that's what my plaque meant when it said "participant."

No, it wasn't in this house.

Master Blue... is harder to determine. The facilitator of our game was anonymous as well. But he didn't go by Blue. He went by Zero. The only other assistant the participants could speak to was an AI named Zero the Third, who was completely computer based and only focused on making sure the rules were followed.

There's no proof it's even the same person. The current year seems to make that suspect enough. Even if it was the same person, there may be completely different aims in what they would want to do.

That's a little besides the point, though.

[personal profile] brokethefirst 2020-03-02 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
No. I've never met anyone here before, and I don't know of anyone else that's been in the same, um... situation.
brokethefirst: (☾ but see turning them on)

[personal profile] brokethefirst 2020-03-02 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Correct.

Out of the ten participants... seven died by the end. One person was left behind, and two escaped. One was conscious, the other was not.

Before the escape, it was determined that the six people who had died up to that point may have been due to murder - not from the game, but from the actions of another player. The two people who determined that were the conscious escapee, and the person who was inevitably left behind.

[And if Mammon can do some basic math, there is something missing here.]

I'm not. Six people were dead before the escape. Seven were dead by the end of the game.

I... was neither of those options.
brokethefirst: (☾ swear to be)

[personal profile] brokethefirst 2020-03-02 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a beat... and she nods.]

I was the seventh. I was the one determined to be the guilty party. And after the escape... I was killed for breaking the rules placed on me.
