Sunday must have been exhausting for you, maybe even upsetting. A new town, new faces and a an ominous order from a man without a face... who wouldn't be a little frightened? Hopefully, all of that is forgotten when you climb out from under your blankets this fine Monday. Rise and shine! A new morning is a new start!
If you make your way to the lounge, you will find a few copies of the local newspaper provided for your perusal. Once you go outdoors, you'll find the weather forecast 100% accurate. It's pretty impressive.
It seems that quiet mornings like this are going to be your everyday life now. Maybe you should see this whole stay as a vacation? Go out and explore the town, meet your fellow motel guests and meet the townspeople. They're sure to welcome you with a smile!
This week's special in the diner is lemon pie made with love (and a top-secret recipe)

[It’s deadpan, but not an insult.]
Thought it’d be a good idea to know who’s getting guns and when. If we find someone with a bullet in their skull it saves a whole lot of work finding out who pulled the trigger.
[Said rather nonchalantly, though he knows it might not be that easy.]

[Kino is agreeable enough, even if you can practically hear an unsaid "but" at the end.]

Someone might get their hands on one from someone else or- something, but...
[A resigned hand wave.]
Better than nothing.
no subject
There's a few of us who were marked for knowing how to use persuaders- guns?
[What is this terminology.]
We might be framed because of that. If someone does turn out to kill, anyway.

[It's more of a muttered repeat back to himself. That's one thing to call them, he supposes. Dark. He can appreciate it.]
...You have a point.
[He'll note that down for later.]
Do you have any doubts someone will?
no subject
[It's kind of a given at this point. Kino's being optimistic, not foolish.]
I'd really prefer to avoid it all, if I could. If they wanted killers, they picked a reluctant group.
[Which is interesting, after the Coliseum.]

[There were people who are good at killing here, but...he supposes that's not really the same.]
Maybe it's the point. [A dry laugh.] Make even the most innocent and righteous break their moral code. Deep.

[Most people aren't as great as they think they are.]
There was another country that made everyone who entered it compete in a tournament for citizenship whether they came as a visitor or not. But most of those people were there because they wanted to fight, with some exceptions.
no subject
What, they fought to the death?
[And...wanted to?]
no subject
[It's all said in an even, matter-of-fact tone.]
no subject
[Give him a moment for that to sink in.]
That's really fucked up.
no subject
[Though even some of the original, peaceful citizens seemed to have gotten used to their new, violent society.]
