[ such as... character development!!!! but, oh, rang. ]
This is nothin'. Trust me, I know a guy who would cry and yell until he was blue in the face to tell you to cherish your own life. But... that's something you need to decide for yourself. Nothing I can do about it.
I think it's too bad, though. 'Cause yer not as bad as you like ta pretend you are.
[If Livio pushed harder about Rang treasuring his life, then he would have had to respond like the emo baby he is.
Not that he likes the next part any better, by the way his eyes narrow.]
...I'll say this just this once, since you've entertained me more than the others.
This isn't me pretending to be worse than I am. This is me trying to play nice, even though I'd rather kill all of you. The only reason Guifei beat me to the punch is because I'm still figuring out who to pick first.
I have to give what I'm given. [there's a sort of testiness here that's different from his edgelord big mad, like a bone-deep frustration.] If you show me what passes as gratitude for you, then I'd be forced to respond in kind.
[was he embarrassed? yeah. was it also because he was afraid for reasons... also yeah]
And anyway, the real sloppy move would be to assume that no one here is planning to kill anyone.

That's a very general question.
no subject
[ hi rang ]
no subject
Why would I be okay with dying?
[that doesn't mean he has to be straightforward in return though,]
no subject
[ livio is pretty straightforward at least ]
no subject
[a beat]
With consequences, of course.
no subject
But I don't think that's the case.
no subject
...I wanted to see how everyone would react. And the best way to do that is see how they act under pressure.
no subject
But those reactions might not end well for you. You're prepared to risk that?
no subject
no subject
[ but he is willing to hear him out...!!! ]
no subject
[ANYWAY THAT IS NOT THE POINT, there's a beat where he thinks about whether or not he wants to actually answer, then]
My secret's simple. I don't have anything precious enough for me to care about living or dying.
no subject
That could change, ya know.
Yer life ain't that precious to you anymore...?
no subject
[rang like i don't THINK SO, speedrunning chara development in a mg?? that's a myth. ignores the question]
I thought you said you wouldn't be annoying about this.

no subject
[ livio does not seem phased ]
Playing nice? Is that why you didn't like when I thanked ya at trial? [ when he got embarrassed... ]
Seems like a pretty sloppy move to admit you're planning on killing someone to me.
no subject

no subject
[ why does he have to respond in kind? man, every time he thinks he gets a real glimpse of rang, it goes and changes ]
Sure, but being openly murderous is another thing.
no subject
[affronted?
anyway he's satisfied by the confusion he's caused in sweet livio,]
It's your turn to answer questions. Who would you have voted for if Kaveh didn't find the coin?
no subject
[ rang... you wily coyote. or fox. ]
I would have voted the same. I was still suspecting her pretty hard without the coin.
