i dont know what the bigger picture here is anymore

should we be trying to help someone into the lead
or wait and hope that theres some other way

[dendroculi]

I don't know, either.

The teams that are likely closest to first place right now... [meaning. the teams of the killers who got caught and wHOEVER KILLED THIS PAST WEEK, which she has suspicions about.] ...do we feel like we could trust them if we helped them into the lead?

[frogzoned]

I really don't actually think anyone here has truly bad intentions. At least, that's the impression I get. Maybe that's naive.

[dendroculi]

That's the impression I get too, overall.

But I still have a lot to learn about humanity. I worry that my impressions could be wrong.

[insecurity week sure is a wild time to be having this converesation.]

[squirt]

we dont have much time to decide

id trust most teams to revive everyone else
everyone ive spoken to is a decent person hoping for the best of a bad game
if that werent true wed all be dead already

but even if were allies you guys have to decide for yourselves

[ohthehumanities]

I can't speak for Shu and Nahida, of course
But if this seems like our most viable option, I would be okay with it, depending on who the leading team is

[He. Does not want Sweet Theory to win but he won't say that]

But I don't know how we can figure out who that is besides guessing

[honkinbigteeth]

kaveh
promise not to be mad, okay?

[frogzoned]

ylfa its a ridiculous promise that no one can keep

[ohthehumanities]

[At the same time as Gerard, like an idiot:]

Of course, why?

[frogzoned]

KAVEH DON'T PROMISE THIS

[ohthehumanities]

[Too late I wanted Siz to say it haHA]

[honkinbigteeth]

ok you promised to never be mad

i think our team is probably the one in the lead right now

[frogzoned]

WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THIS IN PERSON MAYBE AND NOT LEAVING A WRITTEN RECORD OF IT BUT THAT'S JUST MY OPINION

[squirt]

[ immediately: ]

meet us at our warehouse

[ohthehumanities]

[There is a very long delay

But, eventually:]

How can you be sure?

[honkinbigteeth]

well because aika told us we were
warehouse

[ohthehumanities]

[Another long delay]

Alright
Give me an hour to finish what I'm doing

[honkinbigteeth]

um
ok

[squirt]

[ whenever they get around, froggystyle will indeed be outside their warehouse, waiting. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[Okay well

SWEET BECKS IS ASLEEP BUT I ASSUME SHU IS HERE AND JUST SILENTLY LISTENING FOR NOW we can retcon Shu's reactions later,,, Nahida is almost certainly here too I'm sure I'm guessing Britt will jump in. Maybe. Or maybe it's just Kaveh getting T-posed at by a frog, a 12-year-old, and a dolphin.

EITHER WAY, Kaveh will indeed show up!! HE IS STILL EXHAUSTED AND HUNGOVER??? WE JUST WATCHED A SNAKE MAN GET VORED LIKE 8 HOURS AGO. WHY IS THIS THE WORST BIRTHDAY TO EVER HAVE

But at least he's not, like, nyooming at them in a rage, so probably he isn't going to. Idk. Healing aura them to death on a Sunday? Who knows. His expression is very tightly controlled, though, and he crosses his arms almost soon as he arrives, curling his fingers into the fabric of his shirt. His gaze flicks to each of them in turn, as if, even now, he's trying not to make them feel pressured.]

Go ahead.

[honkinbigteeth]

[the longer he takes the more convinced she is that he's mad, so by the time he gets there she's sort of shrinking back between gerard and haru, hiding under her cape.

but she'll speak up when he speaks first.]

Kaveh, um. You don't really have to promise not to be mad. But if we tell you about this, and you tell anyone else, then...we'll probably die.

If you don't think you can be okay with not telling anyone, then we can not tell you, and we can agree to not be an alliance anymore. And you can be mad. Just please don't get us erased, or it will all be for nothing.

[frogzoned]

[ he’s watching this all very carefully - and is stepping to least beside Ylfa. It’s not that he thinks Kaveh, Nahida and Shu are a danger or anything, but just. He wants to be there too. A little protective. ]

Even if you don’t want to hear about that, I’m more than happy to share what I’ve spoken with the Reapers about. It might help, or it might not.

[squirt]

[ haru stays put when ylfa turns herself extra small, his expression very still, like it's a very deliberate effort to be calm. he doesn't have anything to add right now. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[Don't you want to ask where he was, Ylfa :)

But--no, he doesn't look mad. If anything, his expression shifts into something just a little heartbroken at the clear wariness and fear they're showing, even though he does, of course, logically understand where it's coming from.

He has a feeling he already knows how this is going to go, if this is the way they're reacting. Rather--he has since Ylfa's first message. It was too late to walk away the moment the idea entered his head, and he can't leave without confirming one way or the other. No decent scholar walks away just because they don't like what they see.

And besides, his own failures aren't their fault.]

I want to know. All of it. [...] It's up to Nahida and Shu, what they want to do. But I don't want to get you erased.

[But he'll let Nahida and Shu say their pieces, if they have any, because Kaveh knows he's too emotional for things like this. If there are any stipulations here, any conditions to this conversation, he won't be the one to say them.]

[dendroculi]

I want to be able to trust them.

I have some reservations about... some of the other teams. But I would like it if they could be trusted.

[she's insecure in her own judgment because it's insecurity week though ayyooooo]
