But it's still unfair. I don't know how to tell people that we had to lose everyone to win without making it sound terrible. I mean it was terrible, but like...I told this guy and he looked like he was ready to punch out a window.
I've told a few people when we were discussing where we've been. Brown said the castle where she was located required a certain number of people remaining in particular groups to activate the returning home condition.

There isn't any point in whining and crying over our previous situation in comparison to other's. From here on out, we'll vet people as we go. Focus. What else have you learned? About this place, specifically.
Who has talked to our "hosts"? What did they tell you?
Nobody said we're not gonna vet people or focus, dude. [But there's a frown.] I haven't talked to any of them yet, but I'm talking to other people instead and listening for once. I'm not sure I believe their story that everything's going to be totally fine and not dangerous for once.
I'm about 95% sure they're lying in a major way. This is all way too convenient. Like, some portals fucked up and we all landed here on a bus that was already taking us to this camp that happens to have a jail cell, in brand new clothes that said not again on them? Bullshit.
The set-up's too perfect. But what do we do? They're going to keep lying if we confront them about it, so we should probably come up with a better plan.
Kind of hoping it's the former, and not the latter.
Let's all talk to them and compare notes. If they're lying, there's gotta be something. A hole in their story. Something that doesn't match up between the three of 'em. No one's cover story is that perfect.
With four of us, there's bound to be some overlap if we take on our individual leaders. Why don't we take two each? The more we talk to them, the more chances they have to screw up.
I don't trust this place not to break out into chaos, but I can believe the set-up... for now. They claimed to have known about our arrival, but "late," and if they have control over the space as Hal had... they could have put the space together to accommodate us.
It doesn't lessen my suspicions, however, not with everything else in play.
For now, the most we can do is learn more about the hosts and this place, and play their games to see what it earns us. We won't know if murder is involved until the end of the week... We'll have to bank on the optimism of death not being permanent, and us being able to return home.

Or wait until someone inevitably gets killed. One or the other.

As long as each of us gets at least one different host, we should be fine.
