Mark Hoffman told me the world is going to end if I don't stay with Amanda, but I have to pee and I'm really hungry.

[And that is where she has been for the past 24 hours. Sitting in Amanda's room. Panicking.]

[Added Later:]Nevermind. I'm okay now

[Facepalm. Every facepalm forever.]

You can leave Amanda to use the loo and eat, Sarah.

Private.

[whattheytellyou]

But what about the world? Will the world end if I pee? The world might end if I pee.

Private.

[onefullmoony]

The world's not going to end if you pee. Mark was attempting to protect you.

Private.

[whattheytellyou]

From what?

[creatingalegacy]

Do you want me to come to the bathroom and dining hall with you? I wouldn't care if the world ended as long as you ceased to exist with me, but you seem scared and I don't fucking like that! I don't want you to be scared.

[whattheytellyou]

I don't want the world to end because I'm terrified of dying. I have a massive survival instinct.

He said I have to stay with you. He didn't say I could take you with me anywhere. I don't know what to do. I'm so frightened that I might make the world end. I don't want that responsibility on my shoulders, even if there's no one left to blame me.

But I have to pee so bad and I can't do it with you watching.

[creatingalegacy]

You can't be scared, because I'm starting to look to you as some kind of leader to me and John was never scared. I don't know how to deal with that and I think I'd wind up scared, too.

If I go to the bathroom and dining hall, and you followed me, then it would still be staying with me, wouldn't it? Technically. I'm good at finding and clinging to loopholes, it's how I justify most of the shit I've done here.

I can close my eyes, Sarah, christ!

[whattheytellyou]

I have to ask Hoffman. He's the one who said the world would end. He would know if there are loopholes, right?

Oh god. I don't want to destroy the world.

[expectremorse]

[Stunned]

....The world's not going to end. You- I was- you ought to-

[continuing to be stunned]

[whattheytellyou]

What? No, but you said-

You said the world would end. You said it. You told me if I didn't stay with Amanda, the world would end.

...

Why are you listening to Hoffman? He's an idiot!

private

[whattheytellyou]

I know he's an idiot but -

But Rex, the world is going to end if I don't stay with Amanda!

private

[stopthat_destro]

No, it won't. Don't listen to Hoffman, because he doesn't even know what he's saying half the time. Just go about your usual routine.

private

[whattheytellyou]

How do you know? Why would Hoffman say something that isn't true?

Why would he says something like that?

[you_run_i_chase]

Oh for fuck's sake, the world isn't going to end if you don't stay with Amanda.

[whattheytellyou]

But -

But, no, Hoffman said it would. Hoffman said if I don't stay with her, the world is going to end.

[you_run_i_chase]

And I'm telling you it's not. See how that fucking works?

[whattheytellyou]

He lied to me.
