Apparently so!

"Anything obviously stupid about calling the place and seeing if they pick up?"

"I don't really know how calling people works but seems okay to me?"

She dials.

Permalink

She gets some sort of general front desk person who can direct her call as appropriate.

...

"It's about the hostage situation. I'm May."

Permalink

Oh this person was definitely not trained to handle that does... she want the police? Or to be put through to the show's director?

Permalink

"I want to talk to the person who wants to talk to me. Or the hostage negotiator if there is one, I guess."

Permalink

The hostage negotiator didn't come back out - here's a line to a phone that's just off stage.

Permalink

"Hello?" asks the voice of a terrified man.

Permalink

"Hello. I want to talk to the person who has you hostage. I'm going to do my best to get you out."

Permalink

"This is she," says the man.

Permalink

"...I'm not clear on exactly what you're doing there but any chance you could not?"

Permalink

"Th-that's very nice of you b-but they wo-won't have much better of a time ev-even if I didn't talk th-through them."

Permalink

"If letting them go isn't on the table this isn't much of a negotiation."

Permalink

"Oh it c-certainly is on the t-table."

Permalink

"What do you want?"

Permalink

"You and your-your champion. For one week. No tricks or re-revenge. And I'll let all these people g-go and abrogate my claim. You'll resurrect me af-afterwards as well."

Permalink

"Me and my champion for a week of what."

Permalink

"M-my entertainment."

Permalink

"Are you planning to be any more specific than that?"

Permalink

The man laughs, though given his state it comes out sounding hysterical rather than amused.

"What do you want to know?"

Permalink

"What you find entertaining. And why I'd trust you to follow through."

Permalink

"I like to see how people react to things - how they feel and act-t. I have a b-binding agreement we can sign."

Permalink

 

"Are you the person who wanted me to kill a guy?"
