[ Someone's having a good time in solitary. ]

I can feel it calling to me. Byfrost. I must find it. I must have it again, soon.

The cell is quiet but it is loud it is too loud

It is the first thing I thought of

that is a wise choice

a human lifespan. eternal life is not the boon many believe it to be

would you betray a friend for your country, or your country for your friend

[hedonistic]

it's cool, dude
this is a judgment free zone

[He was just a bit surprised; this team tends to err on the lighter, gentler side of morality, most of the time, even when it comes to the abstract and hypothetical. He remembers all the people giving him flack for the would you rather he posed to the network when he arrived, the one about zombies. (In his defense, it was before Woodhurst)]

oh yeah, you're like, undead right
that's sort of like immortality, i guess
ish
do you just get real bored after a couple centuries or something?

anyway, definitely the second one
japan can suck it

[His friends back home are everything to him, the only family he's been allowed to have in fifteen years. His country, meanwhile? Threw him away. Deemed him unworthy of living a normal, ordinary life and left him to rot for most of his life. All because he was born wrong, somehow, with a brain that was flawed, by whatever standards science had used to determine what made someone a latent criminal.]

what would you rather do to protect a friend? kill someone who doesn't deserve it, or let someone go that you really want dead
assume this is it, you don't get another chance to kill them later

[ Koltira's never existed in a judgment-free zone, and he's not about to think he's starting now. ]

It is not a matter of boredom in my case

[ It's more about the endless pain & inevitable madness. But there's no need to get into that, especially when this game is meant to distract him from those very things. ]

I have already killed many people who don't deserve it, and set free those I would see dead

So

the latter, I suppose, if only to balance the total.

Would you prefer an enchantment that bid you to speak only the truth

or one that bid you to tell only lies

[hedonistic]

[Huh. That's an interesting thing to say. If only to balance the total...Kagari wonders about that. Normally, people who make the former kind of admission don't care a lot about the cleanliness of their hands. Maybe there was an accident of some kind where a lot of people got hurt, and Koltira considers them people he "killed"? This guy sounds like he might be the type.

He doesn't pry for now, though; he doesn't want Koltira to stop answering.]

truth spell, easy
speaking in only lies sounds super dumb...you wouldn't even be able to tell people your name
plus you'd have to say shit like "it sure is raining hard today!" when it's bright and sunny out and you'd look like a huge idiot
there's ways to tell the truth without being honest, anyway

would you rather be well-rested but have horrifying nightmares every night, or be exhausted all the time but sleep peacefully with good dreams once every three nights?

[respired]

Fair enough

I would have nightmares if I slept as it stands, and no fulfillment from the time spent. If I could have the latter, I would tolerate the former

Would you prefer a life of material wealth or a life surrounded by those who truly care for you

[hedonistic]

oh man
that sucks, dude

definitely the second one
being alone is the fucking worst

[It's also p much his #1 fear tbh. The thought of going back to a life like the isolation facility is one that freezes up his insides with terror. It's why he's been so quiet and compliant here; he simply cannot abide the prospect of the guards throwing him in solitary.]

would you rather go back in time and redo your life from childhood, or learn everything that's going to happen to you in the future?

[respired]

It is what it is

If forced to choose then

I suppose the latter

but ultimately I would prefer neither.

[ A pause. ]

I can think of no more questions

[ Headache's too bad. ]

[hedonistic]

okay
do you want to play another game? or do something else?

[respired]

[ He cannot say that he is tired--he doesn't feel such things. But he is weary. ]

What other games do you know

[hedonistic]

well there's 20 questions, two truths and a lie, hangman, never have i ever doesn't work as well without alcohol but it'd still pass the time...uhhh the yamanote line game, magical banana, shiritori?
that last one might be kind of hard though since you probably don't know japanese

[word games involving letters and syllables are hard when there's magical autotranslate involved]

i know some other stuff too but we'd have to turn on video for those

[respired]

No, that is too dangerous

Leave it

But I appreciate the effort you have made here, in any case
