Hah. That's true.

Anyway, obviously you can choose who you want to help or who you don't want to help. But alliances will probably be happening around you. People will agree to help each other make it to the last two teams.

[medeian]

What about you four? You planning on it?

[camena]

Not, like, officially or anything.

But I feel like it's smartest for us to be pooling information in general. And I haven't met many people here that rubbed me the wrong way, so I'll just talk to people naturally for now.

[medeian]

Not many? Just a few?

[light tinge of amusement, but.]

You don't have to tell me.

[camena]

Only the ones who seem comfortable with the whole erasure thing.

[medeian]

Yeah.

[making a face.]

At least they were open about it. Not because I think it's fine for them to feel that way or anything, but - being honest about it makes it easy to know who to avoid. I'd be willing to bet there are other people who are just as comfortable with it, but smart enough not to say that.

[camena]

[ .......... ]

Oh. I didn't think about that.

[ alex, realizing that people can lie ]

[medeian]

Well... It's exhausting to have to distrust everyone around you. Maybe forget I said anything.

[camena]

If I'm stupid about this it puts people at risk. I'm not doing that.

[medeian]

...I didn't mean you should be stupid about it.

[camena]

No. No, but—it was a good reminder.

[medeian]

Yeah. Better safe than sorry, right?

[camena]

Mm. [ she nods. ]

So—have you figured out your team?

[medeian]

[she nods.]

Yeah. Fei Du, Luo Wenzhou, and Kyoko.

[camena]

I haven't talked to the other two very much yet, but Kyoko seems cool.

[medeian]

Yeah. They seem like a smart group - that's one of the things that was really important to me, so.

[camena]

Right? It can be frustrating trying to get things done with someone who isn't thinking straight.

[medeian]

[she nods]

Or being the person who has to carry the group, even if they're trying their best.

[camena]

Haha. Yeah.

[ stares off into the distance ]

[medeian]

Personal experience?

[camena]

Yeah, there was just—a kind of chaotic night. And my best friend kept eating special brownies so he was... a little out of it.

[medeian]

Special - oh, god. I would've been so mad.

[camena]

And it was like—the first one was fine? Nothing had happened yet, he didn't know?

But the second one? Halfway through the night? Come on.

[medeian]

Did it end up alright, at least?

[camena]

Yeah, he's fine.

Or he should be fine. We were together last I remember, but he's not here, so...
