fullthottle | SUGAR DADDY: BECK

On Tuesday afternoon, Beck'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 select ONE out of three options.
2.You will NOT KNOW what any of these options are until YOU HAVE SELECTED ONE.
3. The results may be BENEFICIAL OR DETRIMENTAL TO THE GROUP.
4. You CANNOT TAKE BACK YOUR CHOICE once it is made.
5. You may PRIVATELY CONFIRM YOUR ROLE if asked, but you may not FREELY OFFER THE INFORMATION to others.

A notification will arrive the moment they have finished reading through the update. Its contents are no less confusing.

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 through an empty hospital wing until they reach a single room with a steadily beeping heart monitor.

It is there that they will find a familiar face...

[

screams internally]

You can't pick something else just as hard that... isn't that?

[He opens his mouth—]

[—and promptly shuts it.

... After a beat:]

No.

[screams internally as well]

[Just. Drops her face into her hands for a second, before dragging them down, and only then speaking.]

Do I count, or does it need to be someone else?

[Oh, Beck is a mood.]

It has to be someone else.

Okay. I'll do my best.

[Please save her and whoever she recruits.]

So, um - is there anywhere in particular you want to go? My room's always open.

[Ganba, Beck...]

Sure. We can use my [uh] old room, too, if you think your roommate would walk in on us.

[He's not picky! But he will start to lead her out of the room and down the corridor, transporting them back to Beck's previous location on the ship.]

No, he won't, we've got a... system.

[And it seems a little weird to her, using his old room after everything that's happened. Anyways, as they transport:]

—That's never going to feel less weird. Not a bad weird, but you know.

[He huffs out a laugh at that, leading the way up to the second floor.]

Oh, I know exactly what you mean. Did ever tell you I knocked over someone's mini-fridge the first time I did it?

[Being an accidental NPC has been. Fun. Or something.]

[Her lips quirk up into a smile, even as she puts a hand to her lips.]

Oh, no. Well... At least it wasn’t a regular fridge? Small mercies.

[She’s starting to walk in the direction of her room, though, glancing over her shoulder at him.]

Hey, in this place? A mini-fridge is still pretty bad. The whole ship is an OSHA nightmare.

[What if he started a FIRE, Beck???

But also-- Bless me with pancakes, Eli.]

If only the biggest thing we had to worry about was an unexpected OSHA trip.

[Anyways, as they keep walking - she pauses in her step when she sees a bag of pancake mix on the ground, pausing slightly as she reaches down to pick it up. And then—

He'll get a memory.]

[Ah. Weekly effect. Bad!

He opens his mouth to object once he sees what's happening, but by then? It's too late, and the barrier is closing in on them. Carlos stands them for a moment once the memory passes, unsure of how to even begin to unpack that.]

... Shit, Beck. I...

[Google search: How to politely tell your friend they should respect themselves more and not let fuckboys pull that shit on them? He's not even sure if Beck knows what he saw, but...

The barrier ain't breaking just yet.]

[She looks towards him as he swears, blinking.]

What? What's wrong?

[It seems like she doesn't know what he saw, and there's concern in her expression over his words because of that.]

I saw something I—

[—"shouldn't have," he means to say. But Beck probably won't hear the rest of it. It's at that exact moment that she catches a glimpse of one of Carlos' own memories. Beginning from when he's accused of murdering Junpei, the memory ends as Carlos freaks out over what he has done (from linked time to 4:46:08, and then skipping to 4:48:55-4:50:40). So, you know. That's fun.

At least Beck didn't get the frozen Junpei bits.]

[She

screams. She'll maybe have something to say about All Of That after a moment, but that's her first reaction before she really has a chance to process it!! Oops.]

[holy shit]

—Beck?!

You - your hand, and... Akane...

[aaaa]

Junpei told me that - things happened between the three of you, but I... I didn't realize...

[AAAAAAA INDEED.

Carlos pauses, as if rooted into place, before he. Glances down at his left arm.]

... You saw the history where I killed Akane.

[It's not like he went around losing his arm every other timeline, haha.]

[After a tense moment, she nods.]

I didn't realize...

[...]

I'm sorry you had to see that.

[He doesn't really know what to say after accidentally subjecting someone to chainsaw murder. Ah.]

[After a deep breath:]

She was... trying to kill you.

[It's as close to an "it's okay" as he'll get, but.]

... There's another history just like that. One where I didn't kill her.

[So, uh. Thanks for trying to maybe make him feel better! But he's not going to make excuses for himself.]

I was an idiot for thinking Akane could have ever killed Junpei.

What happened in that one...?

[But, also. She's calming down gradually, so even though her voice is still tense:]

You're not an idiot.

[... Hearing what he has to say is probably not going to help her relax, huh.]

I thought... I killed Junpei. So I made sure I wouldn't hurt anyone else.

[Well. She still sounds fairly horrified, but it's softer, now.]

...Why would you think that?
