There's nothing wrong with being built for speed. [ ...actually, ] If there's a way that we could fight together, that might be more ideal. Strength and defense are my strong points, but speed is where I fall short. We might have to spar to see how well we work together, though.
And I'll ask around about the guns where I can, in case that's just one thing we can't speak freely about.
[ he has a feeling it is. as much as kara dislikes guns, he wants to know as much as the next person? where the fuck are they coming from? and if they're going to try to work together, somehow, they should both be as well armed as possible. ]
Good - we can discuss that next week, then.
...I do have another question for you, though. Back when they first started doing the announcements on Tuesdays. Why did you tell everyone about the others from our last settings? I thought they made it clear that they wanted to introduce that in their own way.
Because I had assumed that most of us, having come from where we already were previously, were experienced and prepared enough to get nonsense threats like that out of the way quickly, realize that even if someone might not care about themselves or the others awake here then they'd still have valid reason to play along and not be reckless regardless, and move on to working toward a solution instead rather than tiptoeing around it.
An announcement like that would have gotten reactions regardless, yes, and emotions might have run high for a little, but it being in public rather than one on one, I expected the more levelheaded among us to be able to temper any of those who might have been a little more prone to volatility.
[ that said, she does dip her head somewhat in apology. ]
I value efficiency and do not give emotion enough merit in its effects on people, I believe. That's on me, not the others here. Should I be inclined to make any similar announcements, I'll leave it to those with a gentler mien. I'll apologize for the manner I did so in and any excess distress or paranoia it might have caused, but I will not apologize for the reasoning I had behind it. This game's solution needs to be found, and I took the actions I felt best at the time.
...While I agree that the information could have been brought up in a better way, I'm not the one who's angry with you. There's no need to apologize to me. For what it's worth, I agree that efficiency is more important.
[ he gives a little half-shrug. ]
Lili's held it against you since you did it. Others might have, too. But I don't think that's a reason not to work with you.
That's her problem to deal with, not mine. [ bluntly. ] I'm aware she doesn't care for me, and have given her space accordingly. Whatever she does from there is on her. She's hardly the first person to have disagreed with my methods, and I've already said I've adjusted my approach based on the others here.
[ a languid, fluid little shrug of her own. lili just kind of exists and that's a thing. and 45's well aware she's an abrasive personality once people bother to dig past the surface smiles.
after all, even the smiles are meant to be offputting in their own way. ]
So long as she doesn't get in my way, I don't care. Which, perhaps I should, considering the social capital she holds around here, but I'm not interested in playing politics with people and only annoying us both when there's more important things to get done.
[ besides, lili seems the type to loathe any form of brown nosing anyway. ]
If that's something you can deal with, then sure, we can make this work.
She's not my master. I don't need her approval to work with anyone - I just wanted to say she may not trust anything that she knows is coming from you.
But I'm not going to tell her where the information comes from if it's not important. As long as you stay out of her way, she won't get in yours. [ . . . ] Probably.
[ even kara can admit that lili often sticks her nose in where it doesn't belong, haha ]
A squad shrouded in mystery. ▓▓▓▓▒ has met them once, and others can only guess at the members' identities from rumors. Members of the squad all have advanced AI and high capacity for independent operation. Rumor has it that Squad 404 usually deals with ░▓▒▓▓▓▒▓▓▒▒▒░░
