One of the last times I was holed up in one of the guest rooms I was pretty literal with the holing up. Last time I was stuffed into one I mostly just slept there. I'm not actually sure I remember which room my stuff is in this time. I should probably find someone and check that or wander that hall and stare at the doors. Try all the doors until the key card works maybe? It's not like all the guest rooms are filled, right? And one day I will figure out who some of the people coming to see Yvette are, too. Good to know she's still beloved by all.

Anything I need to know while I'm here? New people with shiny death touch type things, various other dangerous hair-trigger mutations I should make sure I don't set off so I don't turn crispy? I really don't pine for knowing what it feels like to be fried chicken, really. Or ending up on the other end of a mummified limb.

You always gotta win?

Don't gotta, but everyone likes winning.

Not everyone.

Well no one likes losing, at least.

How about breakin even? Some of us like that.

Breaking even's not bad. It's harder to do sometimes, though.

It works when winning ain't so good and losing everything's already happened. It works just fine.

I don't think you manage to break even after you've lost everything. I mean, you've already lost, at that point it's winning what you lost.

When you lose, you can only gain. And then you can lose whatever you gained. So it's like a whole repeat. Maybe that's breaking even.

Maybe. I guess it could be.

Yeah, whatever, I don't even know why we're talking about this.
