week 6; thursday
[Watching movies with Top Dollar is always an enjoyable experience (especially when they're Die Hard and the villain is basically Yeager) but there's actually a damn good reason behind movie night tonight, mostly in the form of a note Yeager passed Top Dollar about ten minutes before the end of the movie.
Our gunners are Yukino and Yuri. I've spoken with both of them and confirmed it. Yukino believes there may be a third one.
He's certainly not going to draw any attention to that note or what was written there, but once the movie's over he doesn't seem interested in leaving immediately.]
You certainly do have amazing taste in entertainment! I'm a bit disappointed we don't have anything so wonderful back home!

Yukino mentioned that she believes the experiment may end once a certain number of people have died. I don't know what the number is, but I don't mind sacrificing the dangerous ones to get us close to this experiment's end. I won't put myself in a dangerous position, but I will do everything I can from the sidelines.]

you know i was actually not sure what sandra meant when she put down that i've "got more moxie than i actually know what to do with" until i realized i just fucking proposed that in front of someone telling me to actually be careful with it
seriously "don't fucking die jason" "well how about i do that anyway because strategy"
jesus christ okay right
we can take this a bit more slowly than that, i see your point in telling me to be careful about it]
no subject
Well, I'm very glad you realized! I am not willing to sacrifice the people I care about to a plan like this, especially not when you're very useful! Taking out threats is fine as long as you're careful, but at this rate I think it would be best if you talk to me before you try to do anything on your own. Just to be safe, of course!
PLEASE DON'T DIE ON HIM OH MY GOD]

i'm not going to ask my guys to do anything with themselves that i wouldn't do personally, because i'm just not like that
anyway i wasn't trying to say that i'm going to deliberately get myself killed, just that if i do it's not a total loss but i get what you're saying
no subject
From a tactical standpoint, yes more deaths would be good. But losing you wouldn't get us very far. I see what you were saying, but I don't want you to place that much faith in me when I know I can't live up to it.
So let's be careful about this. We don't want to lose anyone we actually like or find useful, but that leaves plenty of people we can still use to get us closer to the end of this. If we can determine Crow's position, that would be ideal.]
no subject
i wouldn't place that much faith in you if i didn't know for a goddamn fact you deserve it
i do get what you're saying and i'm going to do what i can to keep myself in the experiment, i won't be reckless but i absolutely can't guarantee that i won't die, i can't promise you that
if something does happen to me you need to swear to me that you're going to be able to handle this until the experiment is over
i'm not asking for as much as you think i am, if you can't handle sabotaging it or trying to pull any sort of stunt then don't try, i know you're not going to like it and losing people you care about is going to fuck you up, i get that
so you don't have to bring it down if you can't do that, you just have to outlast it by any means possible
that's all i'm telling you to do, and that's all i want you to do]

I have two lovely daughters at home waiting for me. (Or assuming I'm dead, either way.) I won't allow anything to stop me from getting home to them. Either we'll bring this experiment down together or I'll survive to the bitter end myself. It doesn't matter what it takes. I won't do anything reckless and I won't die.
Unfortunately, that isn't something I can promise you either. I can promise you that I'll do everything in my power to stay alive.
For a long moment he doesn't add anything else, then he shakes his head and puts the pen back to paper.
Thank you. For your faith in me, for your reassurance, and for your concern. Losing any of the people I care about will mess me up, but I won't allow that to endanger me. I've learned a lot since coming here and while I certainly don't like being here, in some ways I'm grateful for the opportunity to step back and look at my life and my incredibly stupid choices.
I sincerely hope we can put an end to this experiment together. I don't want to lose you.]
no subject
you should go
otherwise i'm going to do something stupid like touching you again and you fucking hate that so just get out before this gets more awkward than it needs to be]
no subject
(probably not)
Yeager gets up and takes a brief moment to pat Top Dollar on the shoulder. It's sort of hesitant with the unasked question of "this is how normal people do physical affection, right??" behind it, but he pulls back quickly enough.]
Try to get some sleep before the investigation tomorrow, ja? I promise I won't wake you up early for once - unless you're a suspect and you didn't tell me! Then I absolutely will wake you up early.
no subject
If I did that to you at this point, I'd deserve it.
no subject
Ja, you would!
I'll see you tomorrow, hopefully no one we care about dies~!
[nice people saying wonderful things...
And with that he'll take his leave!]
