HONEYPOT: DICK

[fullthottle]

HONEYPOT On Monday afternoon, Dick's clamshell will ping! from wherever they have it. Should they pick it up to see what all the fuss is about, they will realize that their RULEBOOK app has updated to version 2.0. Opening the app will reveal that there has been an addendum to the rules... but one that seems meant exclusively for them. No other survivor will be able to see these additions. They read as such: 1. Each week, you will be given A TASK by your guides. 2. The specifics of this task will VARY FROM WEEK TO WEEK, and there's no guarantee that any two tasks will be the same. 3. You MUST COMPLETE THIS TASK BEFORE THE DAY OF THE TRIAL, regardless of what it entails. 4. You may PRIVATELY CONFIRM YOUR ROLE if asked, but you may not OFFER THE INFORMATION FREELY to others. A notification will arrive the moment they have finished reading through the update. Its contents are no less confusing. RISE AND SHINE, HONEYPOT 🍯💋🍆😩 WE HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A 🐝UTIFUL DAY! ☀️ IT'S TIME TO GET UP ☝️ GET DOWN 👇 GET FISTED 👊 TAKE A CUTE SELFIE 📷 AND LIVE YOUR BEST HO LIFE!!!!!!! 🍑 YOU'LL BE MEETING WITH TWO SUPER DUPER SPECIAL PEOPLE TODAY 😍 ARE YOU READY?? 💦💦💦💦💦💦 🐝CAUSE W̶̨̝̭̠̤͖̺͇̙̮̰̖̓́̈́E̷͍̾̓̔͠ 🚪 A̶̢̧̧̧̨̢̛̠̤̜̫̟̗̹̫͎̣͎͓̯̳̗̝̳͓̼̝͚͙͚̮̙͖̗̖̻̟͉̣̠̲̙̞͈̰̞̜̤̥̬͚̞͙̞͓̼̖̯̹̘̐͒̓͑̐̓̈̒̍͂̾̓͊̈́̚̚̚͝ͅͅR̵̨̧̨̨̡̧̯̮̙͖̣̺̗͕̱̺̜͇̻͙̲̠̳̣̖͙͈̘̠̬̠͓͓͍̰̥̰͉͔̪͚̻̤͙͙̫̎̔͜ͅE̶̢̨̧͚̠͔̤̼̰̘̫̞̹͖̜̦͙͇̤̮̪̺̦̖̠͉̯͎̻̗̜̟̲̱̘͇̦͇̭̭̗͍̺̙̦͚̘̘͓͖̐͊̋̊̂̃̈́̃̍̈͌̅̅̀̿̇͊͌͌̚͝ͅͅͅͅͅ 👁️ ... Other things that are weird? The fact that the moment they open a door and walk through it, they will find themselves falling face first an entirely new location. Particularly, one that doesn't seem to fit into any part of the hotel, and absolutely not one that they meant to go through. As they regain their bearings and look at their surroundings, they'll realize that the door they walked through is no longer there. It seems like they have only one choice, and that's to walk forward until they reach their destination. It is there that they will find a familiar face...

[ he hadn't meant it like that, and he feels cornered in all the wrong ways, shoulders rising as carlos talks (he's dedicated his life-- dick isn't a child, they don't need to worry about him--), and something about this whole stupid thing feels familiar, and it's not until he talks about snapping at your allies--

"Are you serious? I don't care about that junk! I'm worried about Artemis!"


he does that a lot, doesn't he.


he deflates, looking down and away. just. think. word yourself properly. were all your decisions the good ones? he doesn't know. he can't tell. it doesn't matter.

he's tired. ]

That's not... [ he sighs, still clearly not meeting carlos's eyes ] That's not how I meant it. I wasn't trying to, to accuse you of anything. I was... You're concerned, but you're not the only one. I-- I know we didn't exactly get off on the best foot before all this, but if anyone has reason to feel uncomfortable doing this stuff, it's you. And you didn't exactly seem... enthused at the prospect when you brought it up.

[ there's a beat and a weak smile ]

Even before I double checked to make sure I wasn't being roped into doing it in a high school bathroom, like I'm back listening to weird rumors in Gotham Academy.

[Well... Okay. That apology is effective in getting him to cool down, at least. He holds his position for a moment longer, staring at him, before he sighs. There's a bit of an aborted motion here, almost like he intended to reach over to pat his shoulder — but Carlos stops himself midway. His hand hangs awkward in the air for a moment, before he goes ahead and pretends he was going to adjust his shirt.

Nothing to see here.]

Having people worry about you isn't a bad thing. You know that, right?

[More lightly, now that he's not dressing him down. There's an attempt at a smile here.]

Well, when you put it like that... [He huffs out a laugh, humorlessly.] I know I don't sound enthused about the whole thing, but is anyone? [Besides, like. Polly? And Nikkari? Either way...] Just— Going from having no time at all for this to having nothing but time takes some getting used to. But I wouldn't have brought it up if I wanted nothing to do with it.

[ there's a bit of a brittle smile, at first ]

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

[ except it means he's obvious with how not well he's coping, and he doesn't want people to worry about him because he's meant to be the hero, and a bunch of other things, but he's not going to linger on that! besides he's busy watching carlos after his declaration with a blank expression, as if gauging him. after a while he nods, as if convinced. ]

... Alright. Then I'll contact you about it later. Once I'm done with my new task, probably.

[ and because this got uncomfortably real! mOVING ON ]

I know what Polly's is-- [ unfortunately. ] but do you have any message to pass on right now?

[tricycles]

Tell them I'm sorry for Polly's message.

[It's a small bathroom! Sound carries! It seems like he's joking, though, judging by his tone and expression.]

[unpredicktable]

Yeah. It's too bad that one is going to get lost in transit.
