[ but if you have a lot of alliances, how long until those start breaking down?

... ]

It'll... It'll work out.

[ alex is having the hardest time switching gears from 'i'm saving everyone' to 'i'll save who i can.' ]

It's not like any of these people want to erase anyone else, right? Like, no one is jumping to that being a great idea.

[westedge]

[ it's okay alex this is why jonas is here. maybe. ]

Not that anybody has said out loud, but it'd be stupid to show your cards this early. But...no. As far as I know nobody has jumped straight to the idea of eliminating the competition. Most everybody I've talked to thinks it's a messed up idea.

[camena]

[ alex, not saying a million things: oh yeah. i forgot that people can lie. ]

Good. Because I'm not—doing that. To anyone.

[westedge]

[ looks at where rang is causing a commotion on the npc intro.

but...this doesn't surprise him either. ]

You won't have to. We'll figure out something else to get points and stay ahead. Alright?

[camena]

[ haha... ha........

she looks at him for a moment, just. thinking. ]

Yeah. Whatever else we need to do.

[westedge]

[ it's fine, he is looking back and also thinking. there is a highkey chance they are not thinking about the same thing, but it's probably the same outcome.

"do what it takes to get the other person back." ]

...you have to wonder if there'll be bonus tasks, too. The rules talk about doing more than the bare minimum, so it sounds like there's more, doesn't it?

[camena]

[ basically. it boils down to that, anyway.

she brightens. ]

Oh, extra credit! I'm good at extra credit!

[westedge]

Of course you are. [ hysterical. ] Then I'll leave all the bonus points to you.

[camena]

What? No way. No freeloading.

[westedge]

It is not freeloading if you volunteered. [ she didn't volunteer??? ]

[camena]

[ pfft ] I didn't!

We're collaborating.

[westedge]

Okay, but if I'm doing work on the main project obviously it makes sense for you to do the extra credit?

[camena]

Who says I'm not helping with the main project, too?

[westedge]

You can do both, but you brought up the extra credit first, so...

[camena]

Remind me never to do a group project with you when we get back.

[westedge]

Oh come on. It probably wouldn't be that bad? I'll have you know I'm excellent at carrying heavy books.

[ not at opening them or, like, using them, but still. ]

[camena]

If you're gonna be the muscle, I'll want ten times as many books. Gotta get my money's worth.

[ what money?? ]

[westedge]

[ this is not even remotely on topic but it kind of helps, considering he laughs at that. ]

Aren't libraries supposed to be free?

[camena]

Taxes.

[ ????????? ]

[westedge]

You--what taxes? [ we don't pay taxes, we're dead!!! ]

[camena]

State taxes.

[ they're also too young to be paying taxes ]

[westedge]

Don't assign me taxpayer already. I'm intending on enjoying the rest of my freeloading youth, thank you.

[camena]

So you admit you're a freeloader...

[westedge]

That was not what I was getting at.

[ how tf did she trap him like this. ]

[camena]

[ hehe ]
