CCC: hello...

CAG: sorry to bother you, Jack, but Avel here had questions for you and well I don't think you guys ever met properly. She's been... a little turned off to Libby, though, and trusts my judgement.

 CPP: OH

 CPP: WELL_SPEAK_UP

 CCC: null has told me that you have plans, for playing the game...and i want to join you

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCC: i have nothing to gain by not doing so. nothing else is proving themselves enough a worthy path to take.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCC: you can make me stronger. i am not adverse to helping you to help myself.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CAG: she's tired of being a chump, jack, and she doesn't like the others much. I'd rather not be the guilty one if you end up killing her but she wanted to talk to you, so

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCC: i have no ultimate goal, i am not dedicated to helping everybody survive, or attain their own goals; i want to learn how the game works, and ultimately, PLAY the game. i want to do something, not meddle with relationships and such nonsense. i want to do something, to fill my role and see and learn and experience. that is all.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCC: you seem like you can help me in this simple endeavor.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CAG: I've told her you plan on breaking the game, and she doesn't seem too put off by that goal for now
