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?]

[... yeah, not missing that]

That it got brutal when quicker decisions needed to be made? Least, that's what I got out of it.

[grumblegrumble muttering to himself in a decidedly harsh, foreign language]

Yeah, that's the way rough games go. People protect their own. No one's gonna go jumping at the chance to get their partners fucking maimed.

Yeah. Still sounds like you guys could've gotten out of it, but hey, I'm new. What do I know?

You also weren't there. The Judge chose one person from each team to play. The rest of us couldn't do a goddamn thing to help them. Half the guys she picked were brand fucking new, and the girl from my partner team was already injured and sick.

Whatever that guy said about how we can work together or whatever bullshit he came up with just doesn't work when you've got people who don't have any idea how things work or can't even think clearly enough to make a decision in a game as fucking shitty as that.

That's what I'm saying. You guys couldn't pull straws or string or whatever and make it more about chance? Remember, I'm asking 'cause I wasn't there.

. . . Tch. Just making sure that guy wasn't filling your head with useless delusions of peace and harmony. Those don't exist in games.

Far from it. He didn't preach any kind of peace on earth spiel at me. If you guys got issues, that's your issues.

Now, you're the second person who's emphasized how much other teams don't get along, so believe you me. I'm keeping it in mind.

[snorts]

It doesn't apply much outside of the games . . . A lot of teams get along just fine normally. Mine's got good relations with most of them for example. You've only really gotta worry in them unless you make a specific enemy.

[. . . thinking it over and looking over all the different colored teams]

Figure out which you like on your own.

... yeah. Anyway, whatever, we'll figure that out eventually. Time enough for some games, right?

Yeah. There'll probably be one later tonight or tomorrow. It's been a little while since the last one.

[. . . well shit]

How often are they?

On average one every couple of days, sometimes there can be up to two or three in one day. It varies. We just had a rough game, so chances are the next one will be an easy one.

Easy. Okay. Yeah. I can get behind that.

You got a name yet?

... nah. Got my teammates names, though.

Well, I named Dagger. Dagger named Hope.

Which one's which?

Dagger's the boy. Hope's the girl.

Got it.

I'm Scowl, from Hydra.

. . . you're not all that scowly. Well. No. I take that back.

Anyway, nice to meetcha Scowl. Your kid Simba's been pretty helpful.

. . .

Yeah, he's pretty new too, but he seemed like that kind of person.

Yeah, I think Lynx found him pretty helpful. I kinda left in the middle of our conversation.

... which makes me a bit of a dick, but hey, mushrooms. He was helpful about those.

Huh. I didn't know he knew about the mushrooms yet. He's sharper than I thought.

Gets riled up pretty easy, though.
