[ someday he is going to learn to call her on not answering stuff.

today is not that day. ]

There's a few back-up options if we need to, but we'll call them our first draft. [ mildly related: ] I'm going to keep Rin in the loop. I told him I'd share anything I came across...didn't seem like a bad alliance to have even if I'm not sure what team he's ending up on.

[camena]

[ sometimes it's avoidance and sometimes she simply didn't have a thought to elaborate on. ]

Cool. I told Wolfwood I'd tell him if we figured stuff out. [ so that's her... alliance? sure. ] Not that there's much to report, yet.

[westedge]

There will be sooner or later. He's not a bad person to have on our side either. [ which is jonas for he likes wolfwood decently enough. ] Once people pick their teams it'll be easier for us to find at least one person per team we can think about trading information with.

[ because. like. there are some people who can figure it out themselves, or some people they may not want to talk to. ]

[camena]

You don't think there'll be some teams we just wholesale want to avoid?

[ because she's not so sure on sharing info with mr. murderhands from today's q&a. or anyone who decides to party with him after that. ]

[westedge]

[ a pause. ]

...no, okay, yeah. That's a good point. I was just thinking it might not hurt so there's less of a chance of them picking us as a target.

[ given their murderhands. ]

[camena]

Right... Making ourselves too useful to dispose of...

[ hate that... ]

It's something to think about at least.

[westedge]

[ tapping his fingers on his coffee cup... ]

If there's a team we want to avoid but stay in the good graces of, I'll talk to them and figure something out. Just to keep us off their radar.

[ it sucks to have to think this way, but he's also very much in the business of doing shit to keep them alive. ]

[camena]

That... sounds shady.

What, you don't think I could play politics or whatever? [ she definitely couldn't. ]

[westedge]

[ okay, well. ]

Not a chance. [ he will come out and say it. ] And it's not shady.

[ it's a little shady. ]

[camena]

[ she makes a little annoyed sound. ]

Okay.

[westedge]

[ oh my god. ]

What? [ what!! ]

[camena]

Just - we're a team. Don't be weird.

[ it's! shady!! ]

[westedge]

[ ?! kind of gesturing with his hands like "HELLO?" ]

I'm not--how am I being weird?

[ he's being weird, but also, shut up. ]

[camena]

[ don't gesture at me ]

I'm not, like, sending you in to infiltrate the scariest groups! That's dumb.

[westedge]

It's not sending, I'm volunteering. There's a difference.

[camena]

Not really.

[westedge]

Why not?

[camena]

The end result is the same, isn't it?

[westedge]

[ well. yes, technically. he still doesn't exactly see anything wrong with it, but he does go quiet to think. ]

Would it make you feel better if we wait to make a decision with Setsu and Kazuki?

[camena]

[ not really? ]

... Uh, yeah. Sure.

[westedge]

I guess we should probably hold off on planning too much until they agree anyway. [ now that he's thinking about it. that makes more sense. ]

[camena]

[ hah. ] Think someone else got dibs?

[westedge]

Doubt it, but...I don't want to get too comfortable until we know we have an agreement.

[camena]

Yeahhh, probably better not to assume.

[westedge]

I was texting them earlier. About team stuff. I can just ask if that's our final decision and see what they say.
