[ pirates noisily in the direction of he's just grabbing a beer. and also steals a sandwich without asking ]

Yo. Whadja think of our "leader"?

[ballies]

[ it's fine she's just piling them up again. like pizzas, but compact. ]

-- Oh, right. You're a goat too?

[ the GOATS... ]

Vague. Sounds like they don't know much more than we do.

[selfimmolation]

[ watches her fascinated as he eats this ground sandwich ]

Yep. You, me, Satan, and some Albedo guy I haven't talked to yet. [ why is satan the funniest name in that. anyway; ] If they're telling the truth, the one who should know that information is the mayor.

[ballies]

[ sandwiches for all!!! there are so many. what is she even going to do with them? ]

Satan… Satan… Oh, noodle arms. There’s just the four of us? [ she remembers seeing the names on the profiles, but it didn’t really register as more than a passing curiosity until now. ]

Wonder if we’ll be able to find them and talk to them, once we’re allowed out of this place.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah, think the biggest teams have five people? Three of them with an advantage seems unfair. [ nom nom. ] Goat said we'd be able to meet them sometime, but no clue when.

[ballies]

Wonder if we get some kind of special bonus for there being less of us than other teams. That, or numbers aren’t the help we think they could be?

[ give them a handicap. or free merch. ]

[selfimmolation]

Never heard of any competition where having one more person wouldn't help a little. Even if we don't know how this one works at all.

[ballies]

Depends on the competition. Sometimes numbers can be an extra issue, rather than a handicap in your favour.

[ hmm. ]

Maybe we should be demanding a handicap if it turns out more people does give you the edge.

[selfimmolation]

Handicap makes more sense. Most teams have the same number we do. Maybe we make two of them work with tied up hands?

[ballies]

Ooh. I can help with that.

[ ❤️ ]

[selfimmolation]

Too eager.

[ballies]

It’s literally in my profile.

[selfimmolation]

Oh, right, I should read those things.

[ pulls it up now ]

Huh. You're really open about interests.

[ballies]

[ looks down at her outfit. looks at up at him.




she’s literally dressed like a sexy cop without pants. ]

[selfimmolation]

Hey, I'm not the kind of man who judges a woman by her clothes.

[ he is a polite boy!!!! also women in one piece are always naked but they are not always bdsm ok ]

[ballies]

It comes in handy sometimes. Like when you need to tie someone’s hands together so they can’t use their superior team numbers to their advantage!

[ hehe? ]

[selfimmolation]

Hey, if you get fun out of it, be my guest. I'm not gonna complain.

[ballies]

It’s an art form in some places, y’know.

[ hmmmm. ]

I wonder if we’ll get a team base.

[selfimmolation]

They said we'd have new housing, so... maybe? Or maybe we just share rooms. It'd be weird to have entire bases just for four people.

[ imagine being given a warehouse for four people! crazy. ]

[ballies]

…


As the only lady in this sausage fest, I want dibs on the bathroom.

[selfimmolation]

[ salutes ] Yes, ma'am. If we get one you can have it first.

[ballies]

[ i like that they've decided this with half their team missing. ]

Excellent. Maybe they'll be nice and give us one each though...

[selfimmolation]

[ they should agree it is polite for a lady to have it??? ]

A full bathroom each? That's kinda luxurious.

[ballies]

I think if they're kidnapping us and making us work as heroes, we deserve a bathroom each.

[ there is one in each hall. apparently. ]

[selfimmolation]

I don't think that's how kidnapping usually works, but I'd take it.
