[damn.]

...Well. I respect the honesty. But I have to think she'll notice how much he's changed.

[camena]

Sure, it's possible...?

As long as he doesn't, like, double-down on whatever the problem was, maybe.

[honkinbigteeth]

There's no chance of that.

[she just has too much confidence in this pathetic frog man.]

Are you here with anyone?

[camena]

Good!

Yeah, with—Jonas. Tall, wears a beanie?

[honkinbigteeth]

[oh! she nods.]

Sure, I know him. He's nice.

[camena]

Yeah, he's cool. We've just gotta figure out who else to team up with, but—no rush.

[honkinbigteeth]

In my experience, the best team ups happen because you just happen to be traveling the same direction and get along.

[camena]

Yeah, getting along is the most important part.

But I think everyone here is basically going the same direction, so that one doesn't narrow things down.

[honkinbigteeth]

...What do you think of the rules? It sounds like some people are going to be considering erasing others.

[camena]

I... want to think no one will turn to that.

[honkinbigteeth]

Yeah. [her ears flatten a bit.] Think that's kind of wishful thinking.

[camena]

Well they can't force us, can they?

[honkinbigteeth]

I'm not sure they'd need to. Some people were already talking about doing it. If they do, they're going to get points pretty fast.

[camena]

[ don't like that. ]

What—why would anyone be okay with that? There are other ways to get points.

[honkinbigteeth]

There are. But if anyone is thinking about it, I think it's likely to happen.

[camena]

We can't just assume that.

[honkinbigteeth]

[...she smiles a little.]

It would be much better if everyone agreed to compete by playing games and doing tasks, wouldn't it?

[camena]

Yeah, I mean... I know the stakes are high, but...

[honkinbigteeth]

[aww, alex.]

You don't want to give up who you are just to get a second chance, right? I think that's okay. Holding on to the person you are, no matter how dark it gets - that's important, too.

[camena]

Yeah. Like, I don't want to... Like... Lose sight of myself.

We're all in the same boat, here. It doesn't seem fair to—take away someone else's chance like that.

[honkinbigteeth]

Well. There's Plan A, which is try to win for your team. And then there's Plan B, which is try to keep your team alive and see if we can't figure out a little rule change or something. High risk, but high reward.

[camena]

Those play out the same. At least at first.

It's not like there's no other way to get points—we can still just get by on tasks. Probably.

[honkinbigteeth]

[nods.]

Doing the bare minimum doesn't mean we can't do tasks, it just means we have to put some effort in, apparently.

[camena]

And if you work extra hard you can earn extra points. Or something.

[honkinbigteeth]

So we'd better roll up our sleeves and get to it. I guess we're competition, but honestly...I'd rather see everyone I like rack up the points and figure it out later.
