Right? It's just missing something if you can't get murdered by a pack of coyotes.
[Someone is still salty about, uh, so many things.]

[He throws his arm over his eyes, turning away in the most melodramatic way possible.]
It had to be done. It was the only way to protect you from my enemies.

What, breaking the rules once wasn't enough?
[He's kidding, but also—]
Might as well ask Percy and Damian about theirs, though. Us whole assers gotta stick together, right?

... You, too, huh. Can't say I was surprised by watching the door slam shut on me. But getting knocked out? That's new.
[Well. Getting knocked out without an NPC coming for his life, anyway.]
[Well. Getting knocked out without an NPC coming for his life, anyway.]
...I wonder if that's going to be a theme from now on.
[Thanks, she hates it. Anyways:]
We should - stick together next Thursday. In your cabin or mine.

Your cabin might be a better idea. If one of my roommates winds up dead, I'd think my other roommate did it.
[Spider cabin is, uh, doing great.]
Let's invite Percy and Damian, too. Safety in numbers and all that jazz.

...Do I want to know?
[She nods.]
It might get a little bit crowded, but I think my other roommates should be fine with it. I can ask on Sunday after this all wraps up.

You know me. I'm a rebel.
[...]
I asked Percy already. I'll check in with Damian too, though. [After a second:] But calling us that is a little much, even for me.

[HEWWO, NATALIE... Sometime after the execution, someone is going to be knocking on the door of her cabin! Wonder who that is?]
[She isn't sure whether it's someone who came here for her or for somebody else, so she's opening the door half expecting to have to tell somebody that whoever they want isn't around - but her expression softens when she sees him.]
...Hey.
[She moves back so he can come in.]
...Hey.
[She moves back so he can come in.]
[He's slightly wet because, uh, this dumb fool forgot he had a perfectly nice poncho from when they were on the bus. But it's fine. Once she opens the door, he responds with a quiet:]
Hey.
[And steps inside, taking a look around her cabin to see what they've done to the place — before focusing on her.]
... That was bad even by our standards, huh. [Can someone say yikes.] Are you, uh... y'know, okay?

[It looks pretty normal! Their talk of a blanket fort did not pan out. There's a setup on the floor for someone to sleep on, since there are more people than beds in here.
To his question, though... She sighs. He's one of the few people she feels comfortable letting her guard down around. She doesn't mind displaying how angry she is for everyone to see, but now she just looks sad.]
This is so fucking unfair. [...] Are you okay?

Feels like "unfair" is putting it lightly. That was complete and utter bullshit.
[It's fine. Blanket forts can happen in the future for deer cabin... The rubs the back of his neck, eyebrows furrowed. Saying "I've seen worse" seems inappropriate, so he bites back that comment (for once) to nod.]
I'm fine. I'm doing better than most people here, I bet.

Depends. You up to hear the synopsis for the latest episode of Real Housewives of Gatonina?
[It's... something. Spider cabin is something.]
If they say no, I guess we can always ask Percy and Damian about their roommates. As long as we're not caught outside.

Really? We could call ourselves the asses, too. It's short. Easy to remember. Rolls off the tongue nicely.
If someone is starting shit in your vicinity, of course I want to know.
[She’ll fight!! But she nods.]
Sounds good. I’ll let you know as soon as I can.

[She can't help but laugh.]
...I could be persuaded.

[She grins, nodding slowly to play along.]
Right. Can't get in the center of the secret men's tennis gang wars.

How does that even count as murder? And now we have to keep doing this because somebody fell out of a fucking tree?
[She takes a breath, trying to calm herself down, as she looks his way.]
...You sure? I mean - you can talk about it if you need to, too.

Right. But I hope you know the same goes for you, too. If someone starts shit in your vicinity, I wanna know about it.
[Let! Him! Fight! He says, knowing Natalie blocked him from shanking a man for her. It's fine.]

Believe me, you don't wanna get involved in all that racket.

It doesn't. It shouldn't have been counted as one in the first place. And the guys running this show are assholes for implying it's our fault.
[Everything sucks, man.]
Sure. As long as you talk about it, too. Don't think I didn't notice you didn't say if you were okay or not.

...Yeah, I know. I'm not going to hide anything.
[The 'anymore' is unspoken, but one look at her expression probably makes it clear. Anyways!]
So, spill. What've they been doing?
