[fjorge]

Yeah, starting to seem like it.

Which is why it's imperative we get the fuck out of dodge, ASAP.

[absrasive]

Working on it, Captain.

[ absently just lets that nickname slip, as she thinks. ]

You tell them about all the crew shit yet? I only know some of it from what I've read in the letters people have sent Lemon.

[ commits mail fraud because she's nosy ]

[fjorge]

[ Is it Beau if she's not committing mail fraud? Anyway there's like, a delayed little spike of something in the nickname but he tries to keep it down. It shows in him absentmindedly rubbing his neck instead. ]

Uh, right. There's like, a million things we gotta get through. I can talk about that now right? It feels stupid to try to keep it a secret now.

[absrasive]

[ true! she also half frowns at the spike, but doesn't mention it. ]

Yeah, you can. I mean, you're here, what are they gonna do.

[fjorge]

I don't even remember if you know. Season 66. Some wilderness survival type shit.

Choi and Yen were my teammates from that. Remind me to introduce you guys proper sometime. Well, you -- Beau knows, she stood in as our team lead for a week.

[headmt]

So you've been stuck here too?

[fjorge]

Went through one of these seasons like you did, yeah. Didn't make it to the end, unfortunately, though considering the team that did, I could only be so upset.

Was assigned backstage here afterwards to fulfill my wish contract in another way.

[absrasive]

[ looks away with the emotion of don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious ]

[fjorge]

[ Looks at her with the emotion of that makes it more suspicious, shoulders back, be casual ]

[katzepaw]

[looks at both of them suspiciously?]

What.

[headmt]

[ also looking at both of them like, what? ]

[fjorge]

[ Looks back at Beau. ]

Is this about the winning team?

[absrasive]

Oh, uh. Yeah, totally. That was fucked up.

[ I didn't tell them about the crew to host roadmap... ]

[headmt]

Explain.

[absrasive]

[ i have been trying so hard to let the crew explain this help me ]

There's - y'know. Fjord said it already. You lose, you get another chance, but you gotta make it all the way to Host in order to get it.

[katzepaw]

I have met both of them, but would be happy for more of an introduction.

[fjorge]

Yeah, great. Everything's happening a lot right now, but -- they were my teammates, so it'd be nice. I think you already get along, I know you've been keeping up letters with them too, but it'd be good. Officially.

[ Unfortunately the emotions feel a little complicated and strained but it's fine. He's been through it. ]

[katzepaw]

...A bit complicated?

[fjorge]

Maybe some. It's fine. It ain't nothing bad.

[katzepaw]

If you say so, but if there is anything to talk about, you can say it.

[fjorge]

[ He opens his mouth and then closes it.

"No, Yen has to find Ciri and Choi wouldn't leave his job anyway." ]

No, it's really nothing.

[headmt]

[ yen cant find ciri then half the game wouldnt exist the fans would be so upset ]

[katzepaw]

Ah. You want to stay with them, too. But that is difficult.

[fjorge]

I'm not gonna leave you guys.

[ Maybe in another world it could've been on his mind but it wasn't the moment he spoke to Beau for the one week backstage had her, so. ]

Yen and I gotta talk once we get a clearer grasp on what the hell it is we're doing here and what the roadmap's even going to look like once we've wrapped up. But I think that's it.

[katzepaw]

Well. If you feel it is right, I would not stop you.

[but beau makes it more complicated doesn’t she? he cares about fjord too much to abandon him to danger but if fjord wanted to part amicably he would understand. but in the future they all become something else to one another. Learning that changed many of his feelings, too.]
