Got any scenarios in mind? Like if they were a big villain, you'd try to take them down there and then? Or if they're sympathetic, chained to their position... What would you do?
...I'm a little reckless, but not that reckless. If I try to take them down without a plan, I'm not going to be much use. Besides, I'm better, uh, drawing the attention to me while someone else deals the big damage.
[she's a tank not dps.]
Anyway, I have a bit of sympathy for this situation, I think. So more likely, I guess I'll see if there's any part of them that wants a different outcome and might be willing to be an ally. Or if not, well, there's still no reason not to be friendly until I figure out what to do.
That... Does not sound good! [ SWEATY. ] But Gerard's your buddy? It's kind of nice having a familiar face here, despite the circumstances. I know some people here, too.
Wished they weren't here because, y'know, circumstances.
[ A nod of approval, then a shrug. ]
We'll need to make some snap judgments for teams, though. Interviewed anyone recently?
I'm kind of a walking death wish, so I don't think anything could really scare me, but... That sounds like some deep stuff for a kid your age to deal with?
[ Existentially horrifying concepts is HELLA LOADED. ]
...You'd be surprised. But it's okay, I've had a little time to sit with it. Besides, my story is about things that have already happened to me, which makes it a little easier.
[ honestly, he wishes he was actually surprised. He also wishes less bad stuff happened to kids, but... It is what it is. ]
I'm curious, but... I'm not going to force you to tell me if you're not up for it. Horrifying concepts is something to talk over ice cream, which we're deprived of.
Oh. That's nice of you. I haven't ever had ice cream before, so I am pretty curious to try it, once they get that machine fixed.
[her ears twitch a little.]
It's okay...just, you know. It does a number on a girl's self-esteem to realize her story usually turns out a lot differently. But I don't even think I want that, really.

Woah... Learning to be a rebel, sticking it to the man! Are you going to be doing that here, too? If those people running the game show up.

[ FLOOR TANK? ]
I was kind of thinking the same thing. Until there's a reason, I don't see why we can't get along.

Making snap judgments about who can be trusted and who can't doesn't always work out.

I think Gerard is asking around. Who do you know here?

Wolfwood and Livio. I think you've met the priest?

Well. That's kind of more of a recent thing. I haven't always been so okay with all of [gesturing at herself.] this.
But meeting other people who are weird but still good helps a lot. Like my middle aged frog friend.

Hyping up your friend, huh? Now I have to meet him. [ ... ] What's your story, anyway?

If I remember correctly, little red riding hood and her grandmother live happily ever after thanks to the huntsman? That's... Not something you want?
