i have a feeling we'll need this

[coastal]

[ . . . yeah, that'd do it. she nods.]

... then I'll try to avoid engaging with those four, so we don't cover the same ground.

I'll let you both know if anyone else tells me this week. Otherwise we need to keep collecting information about the prizes from tasks this past week - so if anyone discloses to you that they're on your team, make sure you follow up with that.

So far, I've heard a repeat of Ash's.

[unfriendliest]

Which means someone else might have one like mine.

[ great. love it. ]

If that trend continues, there'll be four different items, total. So we just need to find the other two.

[voidbreaker]

I've heard a repeat of mine to. Same source as the love power?

[ hm ]

... Two? I know three of them.

[coastal]

[she nods. same source as the love power.

but then she'll tilt her head]

Then share.

[unfriendliest]

There's eight of us left, on this team. It would make sense for there to be four different items, if they're doing repeats.

[ but yeah. share. ]

[voidbreaker]

Which ones do you guys know? Mine and Chatterbox's?

[coastal]

[she nods]

I have people to ask later today, but I haven't gotten to them yet.

[she wanted to get this bullshit out of the way and then they

steered

straight into plot]

[unfriendliest]

Just ours, yes.

[voidbreaker]

[ they can veer back around to the awkward shit later. or maybe this is just how they date now. ]

One item will take a hit for you.

[coastal]

[this is genuinely how lili dates so,]

... huh. Sounds pretty powerful.

[unfriendliest]

[ it's true. they'll get back to talking about dating eventually, though. ]

Useful. Would a killing blow count, or only a non-fatal hit?

[voidbreaker]

Hopefully we won't need to find out. But ... we had something like it in the mansion? It just took a blow if you if used it. It didn't have to be fatal.

[coastal]

[ . . . . she nods at that, thoughtful.]

Whoever it is that has it - make sure you check it each Friday.

[just to make sure it wasn't used]

[unfriendliest]

We'll have to try to find out if there's another one like it to cover everything. I'll let you both know if I find them, but...

[ kara shrugs. ]

People aren't as open with me as they are with you, Lili.

[voidbreaker]

I can just ask the one I already know and find out weekly if I have to.

Finding the other item and who has the pairs for that one and Chatterbox's is probably the bigger thing now.

[coastal]

[she nods in response to ash

but

blinks in confusion

at kara]

Yeah, I don't really get it either. Maybe they're tricking me?

[SHE HAS NO IDEA WHY PEOPLE WOULD JUST

TRUST HER]

[unfriendliest]

[ for fuck's sake ]

I told you before. They like you.

[voidbreaker]

[ for fuck's sake ]

Yeah, that's more like it.

[coastal]

That doesn't sound right.

[NO ONE'S SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO HER (she is so socially maladjusted)]

Anyway, is that all? We'll reconvene next week on whose powers we have.

[unfriendliest]

I keep telling you that, Lili, and nothing's changed.

[ why is lili such an idiot, god ]

...That's it, yeah.

[voidbreaker]

[ neither of you get to run from this ]

We're ignoring the elephant in the room and hoping no one remembers it was ever there, huh?

[coastal]

No, I was just making sure we got the actual business out of the way.

[WHICH SHE SOUNDS

SINCERE ABOUT

not to mention talking about plot has at least distracted her from the bad mood she was in earlier]

I'm pretty sure Kara and I know where we stand between the two of us, but...

[she. looks at ash.]

[unfriendliest]

[ he also just looks at ash. what's up, buddy. ]

[voidbreaker]

[ yikes. ]

I'm not here to force myself into anywhere. And I'm not a intentional homewreckin' kinda guy. [ here he is, the rogue element. ]

[coastal]

[she tilts her head and echoes distantly - ]

Homewrecking...?

[but at least she's fine with communicating, shaking her head]

No, I don't want anything to get wrecked either. And I don't think I'd allow anything to be forced. [just. plainly.]

I just... want to ensure that no one's holding onto anything that they'd - rather not let go of?

[is that the way she wants to phrase it? it's a bit odd, when no one has. actually said anything about how they feel.]
