Do you tell people what's the weather like at your job?
Do you have a job
?

[camena]

Gunfire isn't weather.

And I'm a high school student, so no.

[crucifer]

I've been working since I was ten.
Maybe lower. Don't remember.
Never too early.
Great financing skills.
Probably desirable on resumes.

[camena]

That's sad. Like. Depressing.

Kids should be running around playing games all day.

Where I'm from it's technically illegal for kids to work.

[crucifer]

It was an orphanage.
Just felt like helping out.
Everyone was busy.

[camena]

Adding that it was an orphanage just makes it more sad. Not less.

[crucifer]

I don't know what you want me to say.
You're just calling my life sad.

[camena]

Oh right. Sorry.

[crucifer]

It's fine. I know it sounds bad on paper.
But it is the norm where I'm from.
Don't worry about it too hard.
You have your own life.

[camena]

Yeah. Still.

But okay anyway

How'd you choose who to stick with?

[ nosy ass ]

[crucifer]

Did your friend tell you anything?
The girls reached out to us, so it worked out that way.
Was looking for two anyway.
They all look capable.

[camena]

Jonas?

We mostly just talked about how you seemed cool enough to talk to and trade info with. But it's not like we were gossiping.

[crucifer]

Yeah. Him.
You didn't have to say it like that.
It's because I reached out to him about teams but he told me you two already had plans.
No problems working with you.
Already talked to some of the guys on Livio's team.
They're a peaceful lot.

[camena]

Your name came up while we were floating ideas.

But good. To both things. That'll be helpful for us and
Sounds like good for him.

He seems sweet.

[crucifer]

He is. You can ask him for help if you need it.
Tends to get nervous though so give him a push if he starts hesitating.

Think the white-haired narc is acting more or less like their leader.
Kind of got a stick up his ass but is pretty hard ass about morals and no killing.

[camena]

That should be a good thing.

[crucifer]

It's because he's making everyone else on the team follow it and also is telling me to do it when I'm not even on his team.
But it's fine. Learned his reasoning.
Seems like a good guy unless he's lying but I'll take care of it if that's the case.

[camena]

A team should be on the same page about how to handle this stuff.

And it's not bad to want other teams not to erase anyone either. I don't even need his reasoning to know that.

[crucifer]

I know that. We can't all guarantee everything though.
It's how they want us to play the game and I don't think it's going to be as easy as just saying no.

[ Also he fully believes SOME people around here might slam the kill button. ]

[camena]

[ a delay first, then: ]

Yeah.

No it's probably unavoidable.

[crucifer]

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

[ This would sound sardonic if it was in-person. ]

[camena]

It's not really news if I already knew.

[crucifer]

It's just the sentiment.

[camena]

It's fine.

[crucifer]

It's what we can do in the situation, isn't it?
Like getting the ware house to look less like shit.
