Zero Escape: VLDR - End of The Line

[Schultz128]

No, it's not in control.

[LordofFail]

Dante pulls the trigger.

The bullet pierces Harry's brain, shattering his skull into a thousand pieces as he collapses onto the ground, the life quickly draining from his body.


Harry has died.

[Arcthurus]

You wanted to ask him questions, right? Now would be the time. C'mon. You don't know it's him, yeah? You're just livid right now.


---FUCK. JESUS.

[Schultz128]

Now it is.

Tend to Greirat, Hiram.

[XerxesLeFan]

Look, look! Ok, so maybe it was my fault! Totally accidental. You left early so I was just taking a stroll... Didn't expect him to go full fucking psycho-

Oh, good lord. About time.

[LordofFail]

Dante searches Harry's pockets.

[Arcthurus]

Are you fucking out of your mind?! You didn't even have him guilty for anything! Fuck, Greitrat started didn't he?! Man was just guarding his own life!

[Schultz128]

What does it mean to be guilty, Nick? Or innocent, for that matter?

[XerxesLeFan]

What did you find?

[Arcthurus]

Oh don't fucking give me that shit, man. You killed a man in cold blood under flimsy suspicion. You're not even denying, not even saying he made the first move.

[XerxesLeFan]

We tried to stick to the plan, Nick. But Harry resisted. Greirat fired a warning shot to get Harry to cooperate, and Harry took that as free game.

[Schultz128]

Also, right here on him. A chef's knife, likely from the Bakery.

More documents, nothing to concern yourself with at the moment Hiram, please tend to Mr. Greirat.

Oh don't fucking give me that shit, man. You killed a man in cold blood under flimsy suspicion. You're not even denying, not even saying he made the first move.

Mr. Greirat acted upon his own accord and resulted in this mess. I cleaned it up. While I would like Mr. Greirat to survive this, it's something of his own doing.

[PolyesterHomes]

"Dante, hand over those files."

[LordofFail]

Hiram pulls out a first aid kit and tends to Greirat.

[Schultz128]

I would have liked to interrogate Harry further, to be completely sure. However, after this situation there would be no holding of the peace between either parties.

I suppose I'll confirm if our suspicions were true once I see Zero.

"Dante, hand over those files."

What was that?

[PolyesterHomes]

"Hand over the files Dante. I've hit my limit with the situation right now."

[Arcthurus]

Jesus, the plan. Wasn't that the plan of getting people to gulp down those pills? You didn't really think that was gonna just work, right?

Fucking christ. Clean up. Yeah. Jesus, man. Listen to yourself. The man was literally begging to be spared. You didn't even let him pick a god and pray. We could've asked the guy's whole life, I've done the work, I know how it goes. Good cop bad cop. Jesus, clean up? This is even messier now...

[LordofFail]

Nick tries to restrain Dante but Dante pushes Nick away.

Cam drinks some wine.

[Schultz128]

I'm sorry, repeat it again? I'm old for my age, my hearing is starting to go away. It sounded like someone out of their league is ordering me around because they think their experience justifies a sense of importance.

Jesus, the plan. Wasn't that the plan of getting people to gulp down those pills? You didn't really think that was gonna just work, right?

Fucking christ. Clean up. Yeah. Jesus, man. Listen to yourself. The man was literally begging to be spared. You didn't even let him pick a god and pray. We could've asked the guy's whole life, I've done the work, I know how it goes. Good cop bad cop. Jesus, clean up? This is even messier now...

What God, Nick? He's a scientist, after all.

Don't try it, it won't go well for you. Unless you want to test each other's aim, I suggest we consider this situation done.

[PolyesterHomes]

"Just what the fuck is wrong with you? You can't do the most basic common sense shit like not make yourself look suspicious. Hand over the fucking files, your secrecy is a detriment to the group."

[Schultz128]

I'm the most open book among us, Camille.

They're identical to the ones Greirat got off the Doctor, only they detail plans of the East to declare civil war on the West.

[LordofFail]

Cam approaches Dante.

[PolyesterHomes]

"I"m not taking you at your word anymore. Show me the evidence."

[XerxesLeFan]

Hiram just sweats while he continues tending to Greirat.

The ladies are fiiiiggghghhhhttttiiiiiinnnnnggggg

[Schultz128]

Speaking like an authoritarian will only turn those neutral towards you against you.

Hiram, how is he looking?
