[god he hopes that whatever prizes are being offered won't be the straw that breaks the camel's back. he hopes. . .]

Ah. Yeah. You know what they are, right?

[he has THEORIES but he's curious to hear hers]

[recrypt]

A list of fairy tale witches, horror movies, and Herr Phoenix's sense of humor?

[ well, it's an answer, ]

[survivaltricks]

Hey. I think Phoenix has an extremely punny sense of humor myself.

[SAID WITH A STRAIGHT EXPRESSION]

[recrypt]

[ the flattest tone of voice ]

Oh. It's puntagious.

[survivaltricks]

[his mouth twitches]

There is no punscape.

[recrypt]

A bit of a reach there, but is there really no hope for a punacea?

[survivaltricks]

You're making me feel like a real punateur, here.

[OKAY, AKIRA]

All joking aside. . . how much do you want to bet that everyone here has been assigned a label on one of those lists?

[recrypt]

That's a sucker's bet.

Interesting, though, compared to how last time only some people had any extra privileges of any sort.

[survivaltricks]

Right? It now seems like everyone here has one, for better or worse.

[. . . holding up both hands, though]

I'm not going to ask you to share with me what you got, though. I don't want to see what happens when that rule is broken so early.

[recrypt]

I counted 41 of them. That accounts for all of us, I'm decently sure, though it was a little hard to get a full headcount on the bus. It does match up with how many profiles there are, outside of the Directors...

[ so yeah, that's. that's all of them. ]

Hmm~mmm. Maybe you'll see what it is sooner or later. Maybe you won't. Who can say?

[survivaltricks]

. . . coming from you that almost sounds like a threat.

[WHY DOES HE SOUND AMUSED]

[recrypt]

Oh, good. I'd hate to think I was losing my edge.

[ but he still sounds amused so clearly it's not good enough, ]

[survivaltricks]

[no he just knows she's soft on the inside. her secret is out]

If it's any consolation, despite everything you've still got it.

[recrypt]

[ shoves at only in the metatext and not in reality. stop being her boyfriend's bff, she's been doxxed by his sappy gushing. ]

I'll just have to use Beau as a barometer. If she starts liking me then I'll know something's wrong.

[survivaltricks]

[she's been doxxed by Hunter AND ALSO by saving people's lives. she has a reputation]

-- wait, Beau doesn't like you?

[recrypt]

[ oh, uh. ]

Hmmm. I give her the heebie-jeebies, you could say?

[ whyyyyy does she have to put it like that. ]

[survivaltricks]

[probably because Beau put it that way]

Oooookay. . .?

[he doesn't get it, Beau plz]

[recrypt]

[ beau did not actually put it that way in those words exactly, that's all 45. ]

Anyway, she'll be my Beaurometer. Alongside the new people here, of course...

At least the ones who haven't already been told about me beforehand.

[ hey. hey akira. ]

[survivaltricks]

[adjusts his glasses on his features]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[recrypt]

Guy mentioned you by name. Unless there's someone else who goes by Akira here?

[ please keep doxxing her to other people because i, personally, think it's hilarious. ]

[survivaltricks]

Huh. Must be the Akira from the afterlife.

[he's not going to stop]

[recrypt]

Oh, that must be it. He never mentioned that he's been to multiple games, though... I'll just have to go back and ask him to clarify so we can be absolutely sure.

[ looks

very innocent and genuine

so you know it's 100% fake. ]

[survivaltricks]

Good luck with that. I'm rooting for you.

[HE STILL AIN'T ADMITTING TO NOTHIN']

[recrypt]

I suppose that Akira must have had a girlfriend who had things in common with me, too... It must be something about your collective tastes.

[ hmmmm ]

[survivaltricks]

[no that Akira had a boyfriend]

I wouldn't know. Never met him.
