You really think so?

[He's too old, too jaded to even dare to allow himself to hope again.

And yet...

And yet it's...it's something.

It could be nothing, but...]

What if that takes a million years?

Then it takes a million years. As long as the system sustains us, we can keep trying. If need be, we can help preserve the knowledge the newcomers need.

It isn't a pleasant prospect. I don't want it to go on this long for any of us But if that's what it will take, then I would rather try to do my part to ensure it doesn't take even longer.

No, it's not.

[It wasn't a pleasant prospect at all. The idea that this could go on for that long, or longer, or simply forever...that was terrifying. But if it took a bazillion years for them to eventually get the combination right, to stop this, to stop the town from taking...them over and over again, well. What other choice did he have? And this could be a way out. Even though he'd stopped believing in a way out. Dare he believe in this?]

That's not much to go on. Hoping, I mean. Maybe we missed our shot and this whole system is glitched out. Takin' people over and over again.

We've seen what happens when a session misses their chance, and this isn't it.

Giving up is the only way to absolutely guarantee we lose. If hope is all we have, then we shouldn't squander it.

[There's a pang of something like mourning when he says it. He'd said something similar to Beckett, a long time ago, when the vampire had been struggling with giving up, himself.

He hadn't had a chance to say anything last time, and he'd just...slipped away, into the beast. Thinking too hard about it, it almost makes him feel like he should think of giving up too. But he's not gone, is he?

Neither are they.]

If we lose hope, we lose the ability to help them, and one another, and consequently ourselves.
zunesareawesome: (Uhhhh...)

[Giving up is the only way to absolutely guarantee we lose.

That really hits home. As cynical as he was, as hopeless as he was, the thought of this place winning was even worse.]

This is shaping up to be quite the session. [That's said dryly.] Maybe the system just likes us.

I...want to hope. [It's reluctantly said.] But I've been disappointed so many times. There's nothing to go on except just...what we think might happen.

I know. But holding on to whatever hope we can is the least we can do. Even if it doesn't look like it, even if the only hope is to survive to the next day.

Hold on. It's all anyone can ask of you - hold on, and try to help others do so when you can.
