Wonder if having people here we trust'll make things better or worse.

[vigilantics]

Honestly?

Probably a mix of both.

[voidbreaker]

Great.

[ sigh ]

We're already apparently in factions, if we split into more we'll really be fucked.

[vigilantics]

That might be the point... it'll be harder for us to work together if we're split up like that, right?

[voidbreaker]

More reason to just ignore them and roll with what we want to do then, yeah?

But they are pushing those weekly tasks pretty fiercely. And they reek of "make friends or else".

[vigilantics]

Pretty much.

Even the most unsocial of the bunch are forced to talk to others like this.

[voidbreaker]

For better or for worse.

[vigilantics]

At least it's an icebreaker?

[voidbreaker]

We'll go with that.

[vigilantics]

Have you been making friends then?

[voidbreaker]

Have you?

[vigilantics]

Perhaps! Maybe I am wildly popular.

[voidbreaker]

[ wow way to not reply, me. ]

I gathered.

[vigilantics]

Please don't actually agree with me.

[voidbreaker]

I'm not the one in a... whatever it is you've got going on there.

[vigilantics]

I have absolutely nothing going on.

[voidbreaker]

[ not with that attitude you don't. ]

Sure.

Well, I hope "nothing" works out for ya.

[vigilantics]

[ she snorts. ]

Thanks. It probably won't, but I've accepted that at this point.

[ FRANCY the OT3 ]

Seem kind of defeatist.

[vigilantics]

It's less defeatist, and just...

[ hmmm ]

Some people are just better off as friends, I think.

[voidbreaker]

[ francy i'm distressed. ]

That across the board or just for some of you?

[ ... ] I mean tell me to fuck off if you don't wanna talk about it.

[vigilantics]

[ WHY DO YOU THINK I KEEP TELLING YOU GUYS TO STOP THINKING THEY'RE ON THE KISS COUNTER ]

I don't mind. I think one of the problems from before was that I didn't actually have anyone to talk about it with...

[ except for the people involved which is its own set of problems ]

[voidbreaker]

[ CRIES AT THE THREE OF YOU ]

...

[ he shrugs. ] Sometimes people who don't know shit at the ones who're easier to talk to about stuff. Go for it, if you want.

[ it's not like he has anywhere else to be and it's a distraction from. y'know. watching an innocent guy get his face punched off. ]

[vigilantics]

[ sometimes you need to find something to take your mind off things ]

Well... Belph isn't really that complicated. He just isn't really in a place where he can enter a romantic relationship right now. Which is fair? I won't force him into something he's not ready for.

[ and then there's hikage, which is more complicated ]

[voidbreaker]

You thinking of hitting pause, or just quitting entirely then? I mean, shit like this is a weird time for anyone to entering relationships but it does happen.

[ me, a canon familiar becks: (laughs in hikage) ]
