No! They said I'll be able to get one tomorrow, or that they could try and rush one to me tonight. But what's the point in curling my hair right before bed?!

[ballies]

It’d just go flat! You’d put all the effort into styling it and then it’d be ruined by the morning.

[eleisoned]

Exactly! So - don't judge me by how I'm looking today, okay?! I'm not at my best! I will be tomorrow!

[ballies]

You look cute though! Don't stress about it.

[ girls! bigging up girls!! important! ]

[eleisoned]

I know, but I could be cuter!

[ballies]

You can only work with what you have in the moment. And think about it -- how much MORE are you going to appreciate your cute curls if you had to work hard to get them?

[eleisoned]

You're right, you're right...

So - what did you find out?

[ballies]

That we know nothing and we’re probably in a competition!

[ yaaaay? ]

[eleisoned]

Nothing but bad news, then. How are you feeling about the competition? Have you met all your teammates?

[ballies]

Two out of three? I haven’t run into— hang on—

[ she’s pulling out her phone to look. ]

Albedo. I bumped into one before I really acknowledged the whole team thing, and the other after the leaders showed up.

[ the goats…..! the irony of them being team responsible, hello? ]

[eleisoned]

Two out of three is good. And there's always tomorrow! So what do you think of the ones you've met?

[ballies]

Kinda early to say, but they seem fine. One of them’s a bit fixated on how smart he is though.

[ noodle arms satan…. ]

What about you? Met your group yet?

[eleisoned]

Those types can be so annoying... You just want to slap the smug smile off their face when they go around parading their knowledge, right?

[ surely a universal feeling. ]

Mmhmm. So far so good, they all seem perfectly nice.

[ballies]

It's kinda funny. I guess you can't just flex and show off your brain muscles like you could your arm muscles. Maybe that's their way of flexing.

[ still.

and then that one was her teammate so she's going to have to put the getalong shirt on, maybe. ]

You're with uhh.... the mouse? [ she's whipping through the profiles again. mousey, mousey? ]

[eleisoned]

Hehe! Exactly! They can't show off their brain because it's trapped in their skull!

[ ok ]

Yeah, Gold Mouse! They're good at spinning! [ OK ]

[ballies]

As most brains should be.

[ girl.

but! oh! ]

Right, right. That's Ryuki's team too.

[eleisoned]

Oh, Ryuki! I talked to him a little bit. You know him?

[ballies]

Yup. We're from the same place.

[eleisoned]

I see... But you're on different teams. That must be difficult.

[ballies]

Maybe? There’s nothing stopping me from just showing up in your dorms and never leaving, honestly. I didn’t see any rules on not being able to do that.

But with the competition thing, I guess we are pitted against each other.

[eleisoned]

Even if it's hard, I can also see how it would be kind of comforting to have an ally on another team. Stressful, but also comforting...

[ballies]

Right? We can share team leader gossip.

Then again, Ryuki’s not much of a gossip. [ he’s her favourite stick-in-the-mud ]

[eleisoned]

Aww, that's too bad. We all barely know each other! We should be gossiping all day and night!

[ballies]

Never underestimate the power of a gossip circle.

[eleisoned]

It's a more positive power than you'd expect...!
