Well, I know I'm teaming up with Gerard. He needs supervision.

[camena]

Oh, the... Frog?

[ is it rude to call him a frog? he's a frog. she doesn't know him very well yet. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

He's not a frog, he's a prince. He's just turning into a frog because he's having marital problems, but it's going to work out.

[camena]

[ i truly read that as 'mental problems' at first and was like. you know what, sure. ]

O-oh. Yeah, I mean, that happens. So. [ help ]

[honkinbigteeth]

...Really? So you agree, they're going to get back together, right?

[camena]

[ help ] What? Uhhh... I don't know, man.

I mean sometimes relationships change and don't go back to how they were. My parents got divorced, so.

[honkinbigteeth]

[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.
