That's a better answer than the other stuff you said.

I'm probably not whoever you think I am.

[(Anonymous)]

Likely not: you did not recognize the reference to a previous conversation. But I must admit you sound and act very much like him... and I would not quite put it past him to deny his identity out of obstinancy.

[(Anonymous)]

From that I can tell you I'm definitely not him. Though I'd bet we're friends.

[(Anonymous)]

I would certainly hope so! :) If it is any help, I am recently arrived. Does that ring any bells?

[(Anonymous)]

I meant friends with him, not with you. I don't think we've met.

[(Anonymous)]

That is a pity! But I do think he must know a lot of people.

I hope you and I meet eventually, although not during the crueller type of game.

[(Anonymous)]

You'd probably be in trouble if that happened.

:)

[(Anonymous)]

I would be in trouble either way. I have no capacity for either inflicting or enduring violence, and I fully understand that I would likely be among the first victims in such a game. To tell you the truth, I rather dread it, but there is nothing I can do about it. But Alexander agreed to help me with the nightmares, so I can at least have some semblance of peace of mind.

[(Anonymous)]

If you say stuff like that, you're going to make me feel a little bad for threatening you.

[(Anonymous)]

It's simply the truth. What would I have to gain by pretending to be strong when I have nothing to back it up with? It would be simply a mask to hide my fear behind, one that would crumble as soon as I am forced to participate. I would like to think I am at least more honest than that.

[(Anonymous)]

There's a lot of things to gain. There's no chance you'll improve or do any better than you expect unless you act like there's a chance. And bluffing can be a strategy that could save your life by itself.

[(Anonymous)]

That is sound advice, and I thank you for it. :) At the same time, I fear I do not have it in me to be able to lie like that, at the very least at this moment. It may indeed change as time goes on, but there is no other way but wait and see.

To tell the truth I am not too scared of losing my life, as it appears we cannot truly die here, but I did receive a lecture on the effects my death might have on those who love me. On the other hand, I do not know how much such allegiances would mean in a game.

[(Anonymous)]

Most of the time games are picking the best of bad choices. That doesn't mean the choice doesn't matter, and it doesn't mean people aren't still upset about the result.

And just because it hasn't been permanent so far doesn't mean you should take death lightly even yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

But if I prioritize myself, that means taking the death of others lightly, or at the very least more lightly than my own. I cannot do that.

[(Anonymous)]

Why not?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know. I just know that I cannot. 'In the bones', I think the phrase is?

[(Anonymous)]

That's stupid. You're the one person who should prioritize yourself over everyone else.

[(Anonymous)]

What do you mean? Simply because I am myself?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes.

[(Anonymous)]

Why? What makes me more special than others?

[(Anonymous)]

To you? You're yourself. Why should you prioritize anyone else?

[(Anonymous)]

I think it makes me happy. I like people.

[(Anonymous)]

You can like people and still defend yourself. The people who like you would probably prefer it.

[(Anonymous)]

To me there is a difference between defending myself and killing someone for it. I would do my best to incapacitate them, maybe. Or run away.

You are correct on the second count, however. A friend was quite indignant with me for suggesting I would sacrifice myself.

[(Anonymous)]

That tends to be the usual reaction.
