Hey, um ...

[Nick feels pretty stupid asking about this, but the question just keeps nagging at her, and she hasn't found an answer on her own. So she takes a deep breath and forges on with asking everyone else. Just get it over with already.]

Has anyone seen Kamina? Um, you'd know him if you saw him, he's that big idiot with the blue hair, doesn't know the meaning of "inside voice."

[It's not like she's worried about him or anything.]

I mean, he probably just ran off into the caves again and got eaten by a bear or something, but ... I guess if you've seen him for sure ... you should tell me.

Huh.

Wonder if he found a way out of here and can't tell us. [ it's way better than the alternative at least, even if one does get revived afterwards. ]

That's ... shit.

[Nick hadn't actually considered that, though now that it's been brought to her attention, she can't believe she didn't think of it first. And she's surprised by just how betrayed she feels by the idea of it being true. He said he'd find a way out, didn't he? He did.]

Well, good for him, I guess.

Suppose it is. [ better the gods get bored of you than anything else, she guesses? ]

Yeah. I mean, who wouldn't want to get outta this hellhole?

[There's a hard edge to her words, a not-quite convincing mask for the anger filling up inside of her.]

Good riddance, I guess.

Heard this place is like a cruise ship to some people. [ but yeah no she much prefers home, with all its problems. ] ... Well, if he got out, means we might do it too.

[She laughs - a bitter, dismissive sound.]

If this is a fucking cruise, I wanna talk to somebody's supervisor.

You and me both. Wouldn't even call this shit extreme sports. They're fun.

It's extremely fucked up, is what it is.

Yeeeeep. [ why couldn't Kamina have dragged them with if he's fucked off. No fair. ]

Seriously, who the fuck do these assholes think they are?

[Nick's just ragespiraling now, angry about the thought of Kamina leaving her behind, angry about being dragged here in the first place.]

Gods. [ The sarcasm can be tasted, it is so thick. ] They lost all their toys and wanted us.

[ Oh, she has plenty of rage to join with Nick in this. Chilling out about being a rat in a maze yet again was not an option. ]

Yeah, well fuck them. They don't have the right.

Not going to get any argument from me.

Well ... good.
