"It does sicken me how alike we think, my dear Neon. I vouched for a defensive Betray for the very same reason. If I were guaranteed any other as my opponent, why, I would have let my darling Jack go through with his Ally plan. But the threat of you - sniveling, traitorous lowlife that you are - left me with no other option."
I turn to my dear Leader and darling Trailblazer, and bow apologetically.
"It is unfortunate that the two of you got caught in the middle of that little feud. Rest assured, if we are to be paired again, I will pick Ally, even to my own deficit. Take your revenge if you so please. You deserve it, my dears."
Once more I shift my attention to the bickering Snow and Neon. I find myself much more drawn to the former, despite her outward thorniness.
"I believe you, my dear Snow, if that is any consolation. I know her type. She throws around these terms of endearment so that people will cling themselves to her in their time of need - just as she did to poor Leader! Look how she consoled him within the Hurst home , only to jump at the opportunity to pick Betray, like a hyena prowling the savannah for scraps. That is what you are, Neon! I have not even the respect to call you a predator. A scavenger is what you are."
"I hope you don't all blame me, but I do not feel comfortable sleeping without first imposing a set of rules. We simply must sleep in shifts. There are some among us who would no doubt try to take advantage of the situation otherwise."

What in Tarnation… Fellas, Fellas! This AIN'T the last we'll be seeing of this “A Bee”, mark my words.
He sneers and makes eye contact with everyone who wasn't on his team.
I hope y'all losing your credibility was worth it, because at this rate we're never getting out of here!
His temper subsides a bit, seeing all of the 2's, and he glances away.
“Well, I supposed I can’t say some of you made the wrong choice, huh? It’s all hindsight, isn’t it?”
He looks at the 4 on his watch and stares at it. He takes his hat off and holds it in his hands.
“I'm sorry. We’ve all… been through the wringer. There’s no point in me being smug. No point in feeling superior. It was just luck of the draw, plain and simple. A game.”
He pauses for a long time before speaking again.
“Oh, and uh... Just because I have idealistic platitudes… Don’t take me for a rube that you can just betray as you see fit. My trust is easily earned, yet easily lost. You’d do best to remember that, pardners.
He steps into the shadows dramatically. But, like, you can still see him, they aren’t very dark shadows.

Uh oh, Neon looks like you've hit a nerve
"Oh, quiet down, Rodent. Easy to say with four points. You don't know the half of what this-"
She takes a deep breath, and loudly exhales.
"So be it. You're not worth the trouble, Violin. You can spread all the rumours you like."
"I have seen your type on the streets, living from fortune to fortune. We wake up and hear stories of the deaths of people like you, 'oh what a tragedy it is'."
"But I saw you."
"As we all looked on in shock when Teal fell. There you were. Grinning. Ear to ear."
"Whatever rumours you spread about me, darling, matter not. Your nature will be for all to see shortly. It is not my job to reveal it."
She turns to Snow.
"And to you, my dear opportunist."
"You should know that there is nothing to be gained from kowtowing to her. Trying to save her skin will let hear wear yours as leather."
"Fumbling the simplest of tasks for the affection of others, while playing the 'troubled, angsty teenager' card."
"The two of you are naught but a wolf in dingoes clothing, and a flea."
And with that, Neon steps away, and grabs a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, and mutters something under her breath.
"I do hope these are vegetarian."
