Who: Rory, Lynx, Anyone
Where: The Lynx and Corvus area.
When: Day 145, afternoon
What: Look, some new people!

[There's a person in gray walking around the new buildings. He seems to be scanning the area around the two buildings, getting his bearings perhaps? Though he looks pretty calm and collected.

Bother?]

[they're stained pretty badly too, though they're mostly old at this point, things that wouldn't come out with washing]

If I wasn't I wouldn't be wasting time here. The other teams are just hoping to butter you up so you'll be well-disposed to them next time we're called for games.

[Noted what you're saying, but looking at your arms.] You should change these bandages. If you're wounded, it's only common sense to keep them clean.

I'm not human, I don't have any healing capacity! Keeping it clean won't make a difference.

[...what?]

[exactly as she said]

Of course~ If you're so eager to help a perfect stranger, blood would be most appreciated.

[A long pause.]

To offer up my health for your health when I do not understand what exactly is wrong with you would be incredibly stupid, so I'm afraid I'll have to decline at this present moment.

I thought as much! You needn't worry, it's not fatal yet.

You'd have to explain a lot more before I'd consider it for someone I just met.

And I was reassured that it wasn't immediately fatal that your team hadn't confined you to your dorm.

[her voice goes very tight]

They have no right to confine me. My actions are my decision, and that's respected.

[Raises an eyebrow.]

If you were stupid enough to walk around with an immediately fatal condition, there's very little reason to respect your decisions since you'd be clearly irrational.

Did you not hear? Blood staves it off. Going out for donations is much wiser than waiting for death. Though~ that is what we have Surgeon for!

...you really are missing the point. I mean since you are walking around and unless you think your unit are really incapable, you're clearly not on the verge of death at the very least. You do not need to act so high strung. It can't be helping your health.

Whose Surgeon?

[ignoring that first part. still not human plus memory, it's v. v. justifiable]

Lepus's patron judge. I'm sure you won't find him half as likable as we do!

[Still, gonna keep in mind you have a bad attitude.]

And why's that?

Ask the other teams; they're the ones who dance around his name and whisper terrible tales. He's been good to us where they haven't!

The other teams don't like yours?

No, but in this case I was referring to them not liking our judge.

Ah.

You know, then I would think your team would want to make a good impression on new teams. Even if we're not supposed to 'work' together, it'd be foolish to not take the chance to get someone sympathetic to your side.

I dislike pity. I'm not going to play nice with those who'd decide that on a first impression that I'm someone who needs to be taken care of. And if your team will decide mine horrible based off that, then clearly it wasn't to be, in any case!

[Silent at that a moment.]

You do know I heard you just fine before I even talked to you, right?

I was speaking audibly, yes. You shouldn't be surprised once the others show their true colors, that I would wonder at their 'kindness'.

And it sounds like you had judged us before speaking with us.

So your justifications are unnecessary when I know you really didn't need them.

Furthermore, it wasn't pity. It's called decency.

[giggles]

I said nothing of you before speaking with you~ Oh, you'd get along so well with that self-righteous Canis!

We were competition. Thus we didn't deserve any help.

That's enough of a judgment. I never said anything about your team. I was just saying why I would believe you since you got so huffy about me not.

And you continued to be huffy.

I'm more surprised that they would help the competition, though I'm not about to help those who have done nothing to deserve it. Still, since you're less than inclined to believe me, ask them. Ask about what was done to Monoceros and Lepus during the GM game, those who have long enough memories, and those who don't, ask them who died without discussion the first round of Storyteller's game, ask them about Flowers, who was targeted, and who has to fight to survive every time. Who is it the other teams offer up as scapegoats, again and again. Judge us if you like, but your disapproval means little, you who knows nothing.
