Summary
Xisuma swallows against his rising nausea and reminds himself that Grian is a former admin. He has undoubtedly done far, far worse things to his own players. He almost certainly deserves this, and if not—well—
He deserves it more than Scar, that’s for sure.
(or: Xisuma is running out of excuses to avoid punishing his players. He settles on a desperate ploy: hiring a disgraced ex-admin to run a death game as a distraction for the Higher-Ups.)

Summary
The other admins who told him that he would have to be cruel, that playing the part of a fickle, angry god was necessary to satiate the ever-watching eyes—they were just making excuses. Grian has ignored every call to discipline your players, Admin Grian, or face the consequences, and the worst thing that’s ever happened to him is obsidian on his chests and a solo dragon fight.
The Watchers are cruel, yes, but their most fundamental trait is boredom. So all Grian had to do was just be clever and amusing enough, and they could never bear to snuff him out. RIP to all the other admins, but he’s different.
(or: All the ways that Grian lost himself, from the end of Evo until the eve of Third Life.)

Summary
So Scar has been selected for the starring role in a death game! That’s fine, it is perfectly expected and fine. Someone had to notice his charisma and star power (SCARRRR POWER) sooner or later.
Also, Scar grew up High Vex, which meant that “battle royale vs your friends and family, loser gets hunted for sport” was pretty much just another Tuesday for him. True, he’d never been much good at that part of the High Vex lifestyle, to the point that his family had been preparing to sell his Name to an Evoker before Cub helped him skip town—but! The point is! He has experience.
(or: the Third Life AU where Scar knows a little more than he should, and Grian's life is so terrible that the death game is kind of healing, actually.)
