week 5; sunday ( hikage & steph )

[axilium]

[today has been... eventful. the execution sucked, but hikage is making the day better, at least? amazing.

in any case, off they go to hikage's and steph's room, since that's where belph's taking him.]

Steph, you better be in there—I've got your boyfriend with me!

... Hikage, I told you about the endings. I know we were drinking at the time, but...

[vigilantics]

Aw, you go drinking together...

[ she sounds jealous? ]

The main problem is that the factions are totally uneven.

[psychedelica]

[ gives Belph a flat look?? ]

I know that, stupid. Are you saying we're just supposed to hope too many people don't die and wait until enough objectives are fulfilled? Do we even know how many that is?

[ ... he does look over at Steph, too, though. He'll bring you booze next time, too!! ]

[axilium]

We're actually doing better than I thought. [please don't make me remember what the numbers are at the time of this pc, i will die.] I mean, there's definitely still the opportunity for things to go horribly wrong, but...

[vigilantics]

I'm a little concerned on the objective front because the Crafters keep talking about keeping things in balance? So even if we do enough objectives, if the numbers are super uneven, is that... bad?

[psychedelica]

[ hmmm... ]

... I could try and ask. Since I haven't been demanding much information from them, they might be more willing to tell me.

[axilium]

[hikage!! bro!!]

If you could, that'd be great.

[vigilantics]

They probably think Belph and I are annoying, so thank you.

[ their meetings are like 30% work, 30% shitposting, and 40% them sighing about not knowing what to do. rip crafters. ]

[psychedelica]

I will. I might as well get something useful out of being the Alchemist.

[ Tiger hasn't liked him as much since he stopped being chaotic evil, but maybe Dragon will tell him. ]

[axilium]

I don't know what you mean, Steph.

[... tiger why.]

But thanks, Hikage.

[vigilantics]

[ TIGER.... ]

Hopefully we can learn something new and usable.

[psychedelica]

Don't expect a miracle. They don't exactly love me, either.

[axilium]

Aw, but what's not to love?

[vigilantics]

I know, right? I was won over as soon as I saw that cute, blushing face.

[ stop admitting that you like to fluster him, steph. ]

[psychedelica]

Wha...

[ oh look, there it is ]

D-don't call me cute. That's annoying.

[axilium]

Would you prefer it if she thought you were unattractive?

[vigilantics]

[ she does not say anything she just

looks between them ]

[psychedelica]

What are you looking at?!

[ STOP... THE SKETCHY GLANCES... ARE YOU SUGGESTING SOMETHING ]

Anyway, I don't want her to think I'm cute. I'd rather be cool or handsome. That's normal for a guy.

[axilium]

[steph why]

You heard the man, Steph. Do you think he's cool or handsome?

[vigilantics]

[ hmmmmm. ]

Handsome, maybe.

[psychedelica]

[ friendship ended with steph and belph now loneliness is my best friend because at least it didn't tease me!! ]

... Well... thanks?

[ this isn't what he wanted, and he doesn't know how to react to it?! he's all red-faced again, crossing his arms over his chest defensively. ]
