((thing is that for all we know those women were evil and wilson had actually endangered his whole platoon))

[Sl4cker]

"F... fine."
His mouth says reassuring smile, but his eyes say emotional anguish. And his mouth is lying.

Simuna places a hand on her chin. "I've seen those eyes before. Those eyes are the eyes of pain. I have seen them too many times to count. What has happened?"

[SOLDIER First]

Wilson doesn't meet her eyes.

"A.. A Life W-Well Lived. Don't... _{don't use it... don't..."}

((Yes. Seven unarmed women against aforementioned platoon of armed men who would gladly violate said women on a whim were obviously just a ploy by the enemy, who had the women pretend to be hopeless and risk getting raped and killed so that on the infinitesmal chance one fucking guy would let them go, instead of raping and killing them as expected, and that they would make it to the village (which he easily could have lied about), and that they would be believed about the enemy location, and that the enemy would still be there when the other soldiers arrived, and that they wouldn't be expecting an ambush, just because they could. You're so right. End massive PILE OF SALT OOH GOSH

Secondary salt: evil is the wrong word to use about the women. Since they weren't the ones killing people and all that good stuff.))

[Adragis]

((How was any of it implied?))

[SOLDIER First]

((Check OOC.))

[Powder Miner]

Evridiki stares into the arcade a bit more intently now.
"So this "Life Well Lived" game, I'm assuming... is something perhaps a bit too horrific for the normal arcade. I don't know, though. ...do you need any help, Wilson, was it?"

[Sl4cker]

Simuna grabs Wilson's shoulder firmly. "Get a hold of yourself. Whatever has happened, it is past. Calm yourself down." Strangely, she, too, seems to be shaking slightly.

[SOLDIER First]

"I-I don't..."
Oh, but grabs.

Wilson looks into Simuna's face, now.
His eyes shine behind the dirt-laminated lenses.

"..."

[Sl4cker]

"The past is the past, and the past cannot be changed. So you must accept it, or never do and become a pathetic, broken whelp. I've seen it happen to many of my brethren who have had their homes, family, lost in the war, and it is terrible. I don't know who you are, but I will not let that happen to you.

[SOLDIER First]

"Y-you're right..!
_{...I'm pathetic."}

[Powder Miner]

"Talking about being pathetic isn't going to get you anywhere. It is also missing her point pretty damn directly. What happened in there?"

[SOLDIER First]

"I... _{I did.. terrible things..."}

[Sl4cker]

"How? And... why?"

[SOLDIER First]

"The machine... you live as a-another person... it was so real.."

[Sl4cker]

"A machine? Inside this... 'Arcade'?
And this is what constitutes as entertainment?"
