Joker is a selfish survivor. He expects other survivors to follow suit when they realize that he's jumped ship to save his own skin. While a team player for the sake of game civility, the second that numbers begin to dwindle... his instinct to survive at any cost cuts in, and it cuts in hard. But every rule comes with its exceptions, and it becomes glaringly obvious what those exceptions are when she's present alongside him in the match.

But she's not here.

Much to his irritation, instead he is now in a two-down match stuck beside a mercenary he has no intention of doing any extra work for. Any extra work beyond buying himself more time, to be more specific.

naib's only motivation to not ping for a surrender is that he's really pissed off at the naiad today. and he'll happily prolong this for as long as he can. so, he checks over the rock he's behind to make sure she hasn't found them yet, and sprints across the open area to the latest clown in the manor.
