Is that what we call a fair split? One to seven?

[ is funny ... ]

[resumed]

Hey, I'm willing to talk to Fox as well. So when you think about it, it's really a two to six split. Even if he's also going to talk to Fox.

[ hehehe. ]

[selfimmolation]

Oh, yeah, that sounds more equal. Fox because it's his too, then?

[resumed]

Exactly that. [ lmao. ] It only seemed fair in the long run.

[selfimmolation]

Sure, sure. I guess I could try some of the other guys too, but they'd probably have a higher chance of keeping information from people not on their "team", right?

[resumed]

That's what we're going to try and find out. Will brought up the idea first, how it'd be interesting to see how all of them handle the competition aspect of talking to people not on their own teams. Maybe they'll have a higher chance, but maybe they'll slip up.

[selfimmolation]

So basically try to catch them in their own lies.

[ that sounds like so much work good luck to britt and britt only ]

[resumed]

Or at least see if they'll elaborate on something else. [ yeah britt's mistake was thinking that ii'd be the only braincell but she forgot to take into account nico being antisocial with authority figures he's getting to know. ]

...Will's good at that sort of thing. I'm not worried about him getting information from them.

[selfimmolation]

So you guys knew each other before you got here?

[resumed]

Yeah. We're from the same place. We were actually together right before coming here, too.

[selfimmolation]

Better than being kidnapped alone, huh?

[resumed]

[ ...hah. ]

Having experienced both before, yes, I'd say this is preferable.

[selfimmolation]

[ huh ]

You get into more trouble than I thought! Multiple kidnappings?

[resumed]

[ there's just an off-kilter little grin. ]

Sometimes things happen.

[selfimmolation]

Don't I know it. [ with a little grin, but he doesn't ask for details ] Well, glad you guys have each other.

[resumed]

[ he sort of looks away. ]

I'm both glad and kind of wish he was still at home, but telling him that would just end in another argument, so. I'll stick with being glad.

[selfimmolation]

I get the feeling. I wouldn't want anyone I know stuck here in the same predicament, but-- my little brother's the kind to say anything's better than being stuck alone.

[resumed]

Will shares a similar sentiment. He always seems to think that being together is better so we can solve everything together, and I can't blame him for that but it doesn't change that I--

[ this is. too personal to just be yeeting at a stranger so he sort of redirects his thoughts. ]

It's just another problem with this competition, but I'll find a way to fix it.

[ does not say that he also would kind of agree with luffy in this case. ]

[selfimmolation]

[ hmmmm. ]

How do you plan on fixing that?

[resumed]

I don't know yet. [ he can at least admit that. ] But I will.

[selfimmolation]

... Alright. Well, let me know if I can help. I'm not that smart, but I can pack a punch.

[resumed]

I don't know if smart is what's going to matter here if we're supposed to be doing hero stuff. [ ... ] And you have your own world to worry about too, don't you?

[selfimmolation]

Sure, but finding information got nothing to do with that, does it?

[resumed]

[ ... ]

I guess not. Any information that we're going to find is probably going to benefit all of us somehow anyway. Even if we don't know it yet.

[selfimmolation]

So let me know! I don't have the patience for talking to those guys or anything like that, but Goat practically encouraged me to try to find out more by going around the city anyway.
