week two, thursday afternoon
[Bellamy practically tears his way down to the beach from the oasis, heart in his throat. He's forcing himself to cling to the fact that it's too early for this, that Haru's body didn't disappear, that it doesn't make sense for this to be so different, but that doesn't wipe the image of Raven, throat slit, red bleeding into the rocks, out of his head.
It doesn't matter. He hasn't been this blind with panic since Roan took Clarke, since Octavia was locked out of the bunker. He's almost dizzy with it.]
Raven!

Raven!

[She exhales, a stressed noise.]
no subject
Alright.
[He's giving in. It's clear he's not happy about it, but he gets why she did it.]
Tell me exactly what you have to do.

[A sigh.]
They told me it was fine if I told you what I'm doing, but they didn't want me to tell you who they are or how many of them there are.
no subject
[He's frustrated, even though he knows it isn't entirely fair to be.]
no subject
[She rakes a hand through the loose hair of her ponytail.]
I can tell you he told me if I don't cooperate, he's going to send me back to a world with no other inhabitants. I can tell you that I ran out of time and ideas and someone else is going to die in a few hours. What do you want me to tell you?
no subject
That's a start. What are the other roles? Are they the same?
no subject
no subject
[This is utterly surreal.]
Who's in charge of picking who dies? All of you?
no subject
[She nods.]
...All of us. We're working on a list of people who we want to make it to the end.
[Sound familiar?]
no subject
Are you on the list?
no subject
[She pauses.]
Then... You, Lief, Lelouch, and Hiro. We're going to work on it more going forward.
no subject
How are you deciding it? Partners don't matter?
no subject
[A sigh.]
But that's still more people than he told us we could save.
no subject
[Just to make that crystal clear before this discussion moves forward.]

no subject
So the only way off this island is killing everyone else. That's what they're telling you.
no subject
Seven people out of forty, unless that gets increased.
no subject
You need to tell me how to protect you at the trials.
no subject
[And there's a certain amount of guilt in her voice as she says that, a rarity for her.]
I'm not sure he'll do the same this week, after what happened. You could say we were together tonight.
no subject
Are you doing the killing or is that someone else's job?

no subject
Yes.
