[He really cares. Ford is...that's still something that carries a lot of weight with him. His mouth twists, he looks away, and he looks back.]
....but I can't say none of it was my responsibility. I did play the game that said the last players never made it out alive. I could have picked any game that wasn't on top of the stack!
...and I could probably go over the place with the pandimensional analyzer. See if anything's giving off unusual amounts of dark magic.
WILL YOU JUST - CAN YOU DO THAT, AND MAYBE LET ME GO THROUGH SOME OF THE STUFF YOU KNOW IS DANGEROUS? OR MIGHT BE DANGEROUS? THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE EVERYTHING USELESS, BUT I DON'T JUST WANT TO NOT TRY....
[He puts a hand on Bill's side, reassuring. He really is okay. Bill doesn't have to apologize.]
Ah, that's all right. I figured the Authority hadn't given up on me. Sure, it might take time, but they wouldn't have assigned me a permanent inmate if they planned to get rid of me with a board game.
Plus, I carry all the emergency supplies I need in situations like this in my coat! Just in case.

he's never telling u about the weird stuff he's had to eat tho]
All potential applications are cancelled out by what a loose cannon this game's effects are. Hard to target anything in particular. A risk just having it around.

Date: 2019-12-20 05:18 am (UTC)MAYBE I SHOULD APOLOGIZE, TOO. YOU GOT THE WORST END OF THIS.
[Bill goes up to cup Ford's face, a little bemused.]
YOU DON'T SEEM LIKE YOU'RE TAKING IT THAT HARD, BUT YOU DID EAT BUGS.

I KNOW YOU DO! YOU PROBABLY SPENT MORE TIME OFF EARTH THAN ON IT AT THIS POINT.

He grips Bill's side, where his hand is.]
Don't worry. We're going to get out of here.
