week four - sunday morning - guy

[arockstar]

[Newt hasn't been able to find Guy in the main temple, and he's still not super jazzed about venturing into the west wing, so here's hoping he's in the east. And, luckily, he is, hanging out by the fire pit and... tinkering with something? Hm.

Newt takes a seat near the fire, but not too close to Guy. Go figure, people seem to find him untrustworthy since the trial. Everyone's been keeping their distance, for the most part. He'll mimic that for, like, comfort, or whatever.]

What are you working on?

[A scoff.]

Do you really put it past people in this temple to be that stupid in a panic?

[arockstar]

I really don't.

[He laughs.]

But the fact remains that it was suspicious as hell. You know there's others out there like me, right? Playing up their own innocence, taking advantage of everyone else trusting their word and their abilities.

[menially]

Of course. With the stakes that the gods are giving us, the longer we go with this competition, the more that kind of thing's going to be leaking out. People aren't that damn simple.

[As far as how suspicious the generator was, he's not going to address that Newt is correct, and that he had, indeed, made the wrong choice. Newt knows it, he knows it. No sense giving him any more fuel for that fire.

He pauses, pointedly staring up at Newt with an expression that's hard to read, serious without being completely angry.]

Was it worth it?

[arockstar]

You're not wrong there. Better step up your game.

[His chin tips downward.]

You're going to have to be more specific.

[menially]

Taking that sort of risk. Killing all those people, setting us all up, only to get caught.

Was it worth it for your wish?

[arockstar]

[He nods as Guy gives him the answer he was expecting. There's a smile, but there's something reserved about it.]

No.
