livestudioaudience | R4 Viewing Party - no crying til the end (if you can help it)

[Oh, of course, because to her "Rox" would be Roxy.]

Sir Bolton and Sir Blaze in particular would understand what can drive a good person to commit murder. Dame... Giada , I am certain, knows nothing of that.

It honestly seems like she couldn't give a lark so long as she got her results.

But so far, she has not.

...But she eventually does.

[Because we know how doom goes.]

...perhaps it will be Sir Blaze who succeeds. Sir Bolton and Sir Jamie took turns in your season.

...I feel like that if anyone dies, she wins. And we know they will...so...ngh. [She shakes her head.] I just don't like her. I think I've said that about everyone who's hosted one of these things but she's incredibly unlikable.

And she continues to work with the network, even knowing the truth. I do not wish to judge her without knowing her circumstances, but...

[YOU'RE MAKING HER WANT TO DO A HATRED, ROCKS PATOOEY.]

[GOOOOOOOD FEEL THE HATRED WITHIN YOU]

I'm sure we'll learn those circumstances at some point - we always seem to.

[NO?! SHE LIKES BEING A CINNAMON ROLL]

...I am not certain I wish to.

I thought that, too. But in the end...I learned about Kip, and Blaze Dudely, and Jamie and Bolton. I'm sure we'll learn of her in due time.

It is simply that... our enemy seems to grow still more powerful with everything we learn.

...

[Jane huffs slightly, narrowing her eyes.]

Well, there's an old saying. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall" - and none of us are going to rest until they topple right the heck down.

...right.

[This seems like an excellent opportunity to never, ever mention what happened in her last memory regain.]

But... still, I believe they are more than sufficiently large already.

[ah shit]

No, I agree, they don't need to be any bigger to cause us more trouble.

[The bigger they are, the worse it is when they don't stay down.]

...do you believe it possible that she is Dame Nina?

[HEY WOULDN'T IT BE CONVENIENT IF THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER NEW ANTAGONIST AFTER ALL]

...It could be possible. Mister Ein said she was going by Nina when he knew her, but she might have changed that since. Still...unless we get his confirmation, we won't know.

I... simply would prefer to think that we had only a single enemy.

To focus all the hurt that we've got on, right? [Jane considers it for a moment.] One enemy...would be really nice. I wish we'd only had one back home, but sometimes it seemed like we had at least a dozen.

We... rarely had any clear enemy. There were people who stood between us and our goals, but we usually faced only the dangers of the Labyrinth itself.

...Hm. Hey...as a hypothetical question. Would you rather be fighting these mysterious people in space, or the stuff in that Labyrinth?

[She hesitates, but not because she needs to think about the answer.]

...if it were my choice, I would face the Labyrinth again. Our lives were in constant danger, but it was a danger we understood and knew how to face, and one that threatened only those who faced it willingly.

Mm. [Jane nods. It's a good answer. She looks back at the screen, picking out Roxy in the background of another 'scene'.]

...If I had to choose between this or the enemies in the game...I don't know what I'd pick, but, the only good thing about space is that I'm alive in it...and I intend to stay that way. I'm so sick of dying and death.

As do I. And I intend to ensure the same for everyone else here. There has been far too much death among us already.

[...]

Yet I fear these are only empty words.

...No. I don't think so. Just because you can only hope for something...that doesn't make it empty at all. That makes it full of hope.

...yes. You speak the truth.

[She's still not sure her personal intentions are meaningful at all, but okay, yeah, it doesn't take much to get Arianna back on the hopefulness ball.]

If nothing else, I can at least promise to keep you alive.
