[Hello Rat Bastard at the service desk, wearing his normal polite smile and looking none the worse for wear despite being (checks notes) flamethrowered and shot days ago, electrocuted, bitten, and shanked.]
... A while back, a passenger asked me if there was anyone dangerous on board! And I told him that no matter what people did in their lives, I never tell their secrets, because if I did it for one person, I'd have to do it for everyone!
That makes me feel much better, at least. I do like when people play fair.
[Like, play fair to his standards. Play fair in ways that help Ebalon out. It's suddenly no longer fun when it helps others, but this will have to be fine.]
Though... if I may further inquire, and you'll have to forgive my curiosity... why do people who die here come back?
Well, that makes sense, but if you wanted us to "work together", then I fail to see the point in the killing game. "Working together" typically implies something positive.
I would like to point out that I am not the first person who killed, however. It seems to me that "working together" was stacked against us — were we to simply allow our collars to kill us all? Even the most level-headed of people would not allow such a fate.
Of course. I imagine the majority of people do not wish for an untimely demise in such a manner. If I may be so bold, Lady Friday... if the aim is to get others to work together, that is likely not the way to do it.

It is unfortunate that you had to find out this way. [Was this not... obvious.] Would the Captain like us to cooperate better? Or was this his idea, knowing we would not?

Lady Friday, do you have a moment?

I wished to inquire about a correction to my name. If it's all the same to you, from here on, would you mind referring to me as simply "Ebalon"?

If I may... how did you come across my first [real] name anyhow?

When you say you "just happen to know"... could you offer any further explanation on that? Or are your lips... [...] sealed?

Ah, nevermind. I'm sorry to press, Lady Friday. I'll leave you to your work. Do you require anything of me before I take my leave?
