Who: ANTS ... and Blanks I guess.
Where: The commons area to the west of Pyxis
When: Day 144, Late
What: :D

[It's pretty far from civilization, but a double column of giant cave ants marching in WILL attract attention.

The first of the colony seem to establish perimeters, cutting or biting lines in the ground.. Others come after, dragging blocks and wood...

There is some large scale construction going ... and happening fast.]

HA HA! Easy on the west wall there! Solid! No holes!

Yeah? When'd that start?

Huh, I'm not sure. I've been swiping them from Slick for a while now... I just started asking for my own a few weeks ago.

It's always been nice and familiar, though.

New for me.

[eyes the cigarettes]

[lighting his o/ breeathe]

Maa, I guess it is. A lot can happen in thirty-five days. Geez, what's happened since then?

[keeeeps watching. cigarettes are still mysterious future technology.]

I left after that rough game. The one with us killin' people.

[I'm sure if you think about it too hard you can tell it's not very good for you, and for a guy who usually totes about taking care of yourself :|a mystery]

I remember that. We haven't killed anyone since, though Slick was ordered to torture someone outside a game.

[very mysterious :|aaa]

... how'd he take it?

He was okay. You know the personality in his memories?

The crazy one. Yeah.

He's adapting, like he thought would happen. He's still Slick, just well enough equipped for that.

Tch ... don't recall that bein' what he wanted.

[shakes his head]

He's been pretty down lately, actually.

He still got that kid t'cheer him up?

As far as I know he hasn't been to see Allen lately.

Maa, maybe it's about time I should make sure he's okay. He hasn't been talking to anyone that often. . . We've got a lot of new teammates, you'll have to meet most of them.

... we lost that many? Already?

It's pretty regular. We try to get them on their feet fast, but it doesn't always stick.

[draaag :'D]

Aah, what else. . .? Sorry, sorry. Tsuna just went with Foreman, I'm not thinking very well.

... ...

That little guy. The nervous one.

My boss, yeah.

Aah, but I can do better than this for Kurogane! I shouldn't just be thinking about our team. The Blanks have been amazing. They killed Trickster, somehow! He's completely gone. I think his wife helped them or something, Scowl isn't sure. But they beat his game! And some Blanks are even winning and returning home, with a wish granted.

-- they killed a Judge?

They killed a Judge. Can you believe it? Though honestly, I'm not sure if I buy it. I think he's "gone," though, for sure.

The hell ...

[shakes his head]

What's the winnin' about?

Wish and Mink won! Tavi on Pyxis was the first, then Braid and Charlie on Cygnus, then a big group with Wish, Mink, Spiky and Blade from Hydra, and that girl from Orion, named Carly I think. They were all granted a wish and returned home... well, aside from Wish, who gave his wish to help his sister.

The Judges aren't clear about what makes you win. But it's definitely starting to happen.

Couple of us too ... s'promisin'. Better'n us just gettin' stuck in that Pillar or as an ant.

Way better. It's the reason we all chose to be here in the first place.

[nods]

Didn't really believe it.
