Mm, I wouldn't put anyone here above murder. We've all accepted the terms of being here based on selfish desire.
[ and that's fine. she expected that—she did think it'd turn to killing eventually. ]
Still, it means someone out there either knew more than we did, or that something else is at play. I can't help but think there's something I'm missing—as you say, some complicating factor.

[ How much would you murder for? For a cornchip? For a life? For a kingdom? All good things to know. ]
You didn't think we'd get it wrong. Even if there's barely forty of us here, there is a lot that can complicate with just that many people.

[ If they aren't missing a puzzle piece, they are missing the place it fits into. That's the vibe Medb has about the trial and its results. ]
If we don't find all the parameters of this competition, we'll all lose in some way even if we win.

Those are my feelings as well. It's difficult to find victory in unknown terrain—one could do everything wrong without even realizing.
[ is there a better way to indulge? is it that simple? ]
I cannot say I'm one to accept defeat easily in general.

[ There aren't many things Medb hates more than losing because it takes a lot to make her feel like she lost. ]
This just means we'll have to find out all we can, hm?
no subject
Indeed.
[ at the very least, there are other such strong-willed people here. which also makes them threats, but useful as well. ]
I do not plan to show quarter to those that threaten my place here. I'm willing to share victory—but I will not relinquish it entirely.

You'll find likeminded people here. Unless someone's wish is to be able to die, I doubt anyone here won't go down fighting.
[ Medb has always gone down fighting (except the day she died the first time). ]

Then I hope you will not mind if we fight together, Your Majesty.

Of course not. I'd love it if someone like you would be by my side.
