"I. . . don't know. I'm not really that great at cheering people up or actually talking to them. Just. . ." Taking a deep breath, Ranma grasped his forehead and exhaled. " Everything's gone to hell. I know I'm just stating the obvious here, but it's true. We've lost four people, and as long as we're stuck here. . ." He gripped a fist tightly. "We gotta figure something out."

Ranma just glared at the host. "Don't you have something better to be doing, like kicking puppies or whatever?" The grip on that bottle was only getting tighter.

Komaru taps Ranma's shoulder.
"You still need to hydrate."

"What I need is. . ." Ranma's brows scrunched up as he gritted his teeth, getting more and more frustrated the longer he and everyone else is here. His eyes soften some as he looked down. "To get everyone out of here. This sadistic game, this is one of the worst things anyone can go through. No one should be here, no one should've died. And I keep failing to stop the murders before they happen. . ."

"... Let's just give up. I've been here, all you can do is just... give up and play along. I don't mean that to sound defeatist, just... don't do anything that would get you killed, Ranma, please. Not anymore."

Hearing Komaru said that, Ranma looked at her like she just told him the world is ending. "No, we can't just give up! That's what they want! They want us to feel like we're powerless. They want to see us break and slaughter each other. But that's all the more reason we can't play in their hands!"

"... Ranma, I thought you were going to die today. I don't want to go through that again, for any of you. But just as much, I know going against the hosts of these games only end in disaster if you're not prepared. I don't want to lose your or anyone else senselessly. I'm tired of it."

"I know. . . I'm tired of it too. Then again, there's a lot of stuff in my life I'm tired about. Too many to count." His father, his enemies, his mother, his fear, his cat. Obstacles in his way of his life. His path to manhood. "Maybe I'm just too damned stubborn, but I can't give up. We can't give up and play his game. And most importantly, you can't give up. Because if you do, you'll have already lost."

Ranma's just going to ignore the host. No use in giving them attention. "I. . . don't know. But I'll figure out something. I have to." He mumbled, looking down at the side. This was just one big fight to him, another opponent to spar. One he can use their weakness against them. This killing game is his opponent, one he needs to defeat one way or another.

"Fine. I won't lick anymore poison that comes from the doorknob." Ranma said with a light smile, before nodding his head.

Kellensea, who at this point has secured the office again, finds Haruka trying to talk to her.
No, I'm sorry. Go away. The office is my fortress, and the moment the lights go off, anyone who attempts to enter will be killed. If I LEAVE the office, I open myself up to attack. In here, at least, I can confirm with the squeamish among you that whoever came in here did so to kill me, and thus I was within my rights to kill them and should NOT be executed. You can watch the vents, Haruka. But this is my hold, and I will not leave it, nor let anyone in, should the night come. I trust you will not attempt to enter in the night. Tell the others too, if they attempt to enter, it will be seen as a threat on my life, and I WILL kill them without hesitation if they do not immediately leave.
I am the They who says it!

That pulls a chuckle out of Komaru.
"How about no licking poison period? Doorknob related or otherwise? Do you know how much trouble you were in the medbay?"
For what it's worth, it at least cheered Komaru up a bit.

"What can I say? I live on the edge." Ranma smiled and closed his eyes with a shrug. "Besides, if anything, you should be the one careful. Don't go around chopping people." He joked, doing a light karate chop.

[...well, that's a response alright. Haruka backs away from the vents out of fear.]

Kellensea's offers of financial compensation (from Ronnie's belongings or otherwise) fall on deaf ears; Kai's fallen silent again as the others begin to clear away from the scene, the office, cafeteria, anywhere else. To banish the deaths from their memory, maybe, or just to get away from all this mess, even just for a little while - all that seems to hang in the air right now is ugliness.
In Kai's case, he settles to leave through the hallways without a glance backwards... Spare one, that is.
"Do as you may with our lives," When he looks back at the Host over his shoulder, it isn't quite despair or frustration he fixes him with. Just cold rage. "But know that your time, too, has run dry. I will dismantle your game."
And just as quickly, the emotion's gone, replaced by his usual expressionless demeanour. "...Hm. A slip of the tongue. My apologies.", followed by little more than the sight of a retreating back.
If anything, you get the feeling he was lying. No points for guessing what all that was about.

Haruka finds Monika in the medbay... along with nearly everyone else.
Well, this is getting pointless.
The lights click back on.

"Well excuse me for trying to thwart attempts on my life and those of my friends."
Alexis yawns; despite having passed out in the kitchen at the end of the previous day it was... Not a restful night, at all, and all the stress is definitely taking its toll. She's just going to...
>lie down on one of the beds in medbay for a while and either sleep or have a crisis.

I... It's all my fault.
Monika suddenly falls to the floor dejected.
I don't understand any of this... I'm in a world of complete insanity...
