There's going to be pushback. There are at least three that have no interest in deviating from their original plan. Three that are going to help no matter what. The other two - I don't know. I think it'll be up to the participants to work with them to help, too.
[ he reaches up and presses the pads of his fingertips to the space between his eyebrows, closing his eyes. ]
It is. There's no assumption. We'll meet as a group tomorrow and discuss further, but that is what must be done.
.... I have no intention of rolling over like a pig for that thing's dinner, and I sure as hell don't want to leave Wrath behind with it. [ there's a flicker of emotion, there - a fierce protectiveness. ]
But you're not wrong. My life isn't to be manipulated by the likes of those three who won't deviate, and I don't want to leave Wrath or Lust behind here to deal with whatever it is that thing's been cornering them into.
[ that protectiveness is fair. gu yun can probably feel it mirrored. he looks out for his own, and sometimes his own are Avatars. ]
I think they've been dealing with this on their own for long enough.
[ that grin gets him smiling, too, and a flicker of amusement, much more familiar. ]
Part of the whole commander thing. [ being good at motivational speeches. ] But I agree. It's out of control, and we've been left in the dark about it entirely too long. Whatever decisions were made then can be dealt with later.
I'm glad to hear it, though. [ yeah!! sometimes!!! sometimes you love an avatar!!! ] Wrath has told me quite a bit already. We need to be careful with how we approach them this week, but we have allies. Which - by the way, don't go running up to Avatars demanding to see the back of their necks.
Mm, well, trying not to ask a thing while asking it ended up just frustrating both of us. I'm usually better than that.
The importance of what was okay to actually talk about was up in the air at that point. And I didn't even get to find out of Wrath was right about Greed being an 8 out of 10, so maybe that's the real tragedy.
I didn't have any trouble finding it. Wrath made it easy. [ wehehehe ] And that is a tragedy! I imagine we'll all be seeing their faces, this week. At least - for the ones who work with us, for certain. I've already seen two of the three that won't.
I didn't want to ask her, not when she was... well. As everything as she was, Gu Yun. [ he doesn't seem like he finds that last part especially gremlin worthy, though. last week seemed especially hellish for her, after all. ]
Greed was the one who started the conversation, so they were the one I wanted to keep the conversation to for the moment. [ he shrugs. ] They confirmed it either way.
[ he tilts his head. ]
Maybe. Gluttony is, unfortunately, much too good looking for his personality. It actually makes me angry to think about it.

[ it's always fine in the space station. ]
Refreshing maybe. Admittedly I haven't been here in weeks, at curfew.
no subject
[ there's a long pause, as he looks up at the stars overhead, seemingly reflective. ]
... What's your take, Yuri? On this weekend.
no subject
Complicated.
[ he shrugs. ] I'm not mad no one died this weekend though, at least.
no subject
Feels like we might be reaching the end of things here, doesn't it?
no subject
One way or another. Whatever that has in store for us.
no subject
Mn.
... How did it go, when you talked to Lust about switching?
no subject
They didn't want to talk about it. I might try again today, Sheila was quite eager for me too but... they're stubborn. [ ... ] Among other things.
no subject
there's a flicker in his emotions again. not exhaustion, maybe, but something else, lower and displeased. ]
What sort of other things?
no subject
I'm assuming someone's come to you about more recent text messages from the dead?
no subject
no subject
Complicated. Might explain a little of the stubborness towards me switching teams though.
no subject
[ he pauses. takes a deep breath. ]
... Whatever we can do to solve this needs to be done next week. Our energy needs to go immediately towards dealing with that thing.
no subject
[ ... he sighs. ] I don't know.
It seems like that's the plan. Or what most of us are assuming we'll be working towards from here out.
no subject

Aren't you supposed to be a master of subtlety?

I found it on my own. [ so. ] I was with her last Friday and she fell asleep on me.
[ a simple answer to the question that didn't involve shouting! but, you know. his friday wrath privileges. ] We'll see what happens tomorrow.
no subject
[ he closes his eyes. ] And, bluntly, I care more about not stressing her and Lust out than the others, so.
[ friday avatar time is good time. when you don't fall asleep and forget to put in your audience requests on time. lies down. ]
I suppose we will. People seem fired up now, after all.
