good. [ He types and deletes several variations on 'don't worry about me', because he can't commit to that level of lying when the offer's already been made. ]

trust me. the more times i visit the dome, the less hungry i am, and it's not just because i'm winning food.

I probably don't have to point out going in there's risky.

_{[The question's implied--why is he?]}

[wontgraham]

but you'd like to anyway.

[ Question received. ]

so is waiting for them to feed us outside of their games. we're already at their mercy.

this gives us the illusion of choice, but it's an illusion that means i can feed myself and other people.

Or you could die. Where people you know have to see it on TV.

[wontgraham]

right. or i could let the teenagers here starve to death.

[ There's more to it than that...but Will would rather stick to advertising altruism instead of the awful self-satisfaction of how the Dome makes him feel while he's in it. ]

_{[There's definitely more to it because 10K doesn't need to be told about starvation conditions. It's not a good enough excuse for prime time murder television.]}

Eat anything at Deerington Hall lately?

_{[It wouldn't be the first time Will's succumbed to the monthly crazies, has it? And it'd explain the recklessness.]}

[wontgraham]

no. i don't want to give them the satisfaction. [ Of what, exactly, it isn't entirely clear - although he's seen other people eat there, enough to know the food's drugged. Or just has magical effects - occam's razor here is usually "magic did it".

But huh, wait-- ]

did you?
