Riddles
Hey, you know what I love? Being droned for a week and a half for absolutely no friggin' reason. No. That's just great.
Anyway, I'm bored, so lets play a game. Got a riddle for you. Well, I guess it's more like a logic puzzle then a riddle, but they're close enough to be the same thing. Whatever. So here it is:
Three duelists are standing off against one another. Technically, everything about each duelist seems similar: each has a gun and is the same distance apart from the others. Despite this, each duelist has a different possibility of hitting his opponents. Duelist A has a 90% chance of firing and hitting either oppoennt. Duelist B, however, only has a 60% chance of firing and hitting an opponent.
You are Duelist C. You have a 30% chance of firing and hitting either opponent. You can't run; running will have both of them automatically draw their guns on you. So you have to stay and do something. So, the question is who do you fire at in order to survive?

...Yeah. I guess this town isn't exactly the best place for cynicism. I guess you kinda gotta-
I'm not cranky!
[Filtered]
And well... you're not helping your case any. Trying taking a breath."
[Filtered]
[Filtered]
Take a deep breath, relax, and calm.
Zen or something like that."
[Filtered]
I knew that.
[Filtered]
Wait, take a deep breath and then let it out."

[Filtered]
So, how long have you been stuck here?"

[Filtered]
Like I'm that weird stage where stages of time that used to be long are starting to seem short, but not really? Like, I haven't really gotten used to living this long yet.
[Filtered]
That's got to be frustrating."

[Filtered]
So, you got experience, any advice for how to deal with Mayfield.?"
[Filtered]
Luck mainly. And not trusting anything they give us. I'm pretty awesome, but even this stupid town gets to me sometimes.
[Filtered]
I don't plan to take anything they give me, I don't need anything they have."
[Filtered]
Oh, by the way? Don't use the post office.
[Filtered]
Yeah, they warned me about that one.
What's the worse thing you see happen here?"
[Filtered]
Hazmat men. Guys in hazmat suits with axes and flame throwers who leak poison gas when they get hit.

[Filtered]
....Long story. I don't wanna talk about it.
[Filtered]
You going to be okay?"
