[ they are best friends anna live with it ]

... Yeah. That sounds like her. She worked pretty hard back in the Realm to help coordinate everything so everyone would get out.

[unrecked]

[tch]

So we don't have to worry about anything except the communication not existing, or it being intercepted too badly.

And tomorrow, of course.

[skyagain]

... And tomorrow. [ he frowns ] She's probably going to try and fight whoever else is up there if she can.

[ lol, lmao ]

[unrecked]

Good for her.

[lol]

I didn't peg her as the type of person who would go down without much of a fight.

[skyagain]

She's not. But no one's going to enjoy it if she's trying to fight someone they like. Usual bias.

[ or it'll be cloud and it wont matter ]

[unrecked]

I know, but that's how they want the game played. To create groups, to pick sides. It disrupts us focusing on the hotel, on Nightman since we're too busy being worried about each other.

[STOP]

[skyagain]

Yeah. I know. Doesn't make it any less bullshit.

[ again this speculation does not matter ]

[unrecked]

I don’t disagree. I’m just saying. The more we start creating divides, the less we’re going to accomplish.

But I know that’s going to happen anyway. It’s natural, especially between people who have history.

[skyagain]

Yeah. Best we can hope is what, some bridges between the divides?

[unrecked]

Yeah.

[A pause.]

I mean, sure, maybe for the rest of you. Whatever. Build some bridges.

[skyagain]

That was believable.

[ jay, please. your posturing. ]

[unrecked]

Shut up, I'm serious.

[There's no venom.]

I don't think too many people here would be against bridging the gaps between us if it was an option. It won't keep any of this from happening, though.

[skyagain]

Not so long as those shadows are around to force our hands if we don't play along, no. [ he shakes his head ] But it's a start.

[unrecked]

[He gives Cloud a hefty pat on the shoulder, a kind of sassy one really.]

Well. Good luck rallying everyone together in friendship. I believe in you.

[skyagain]

No way in hell. [ lightly kicks jason under the bar. ] I don't care what that letter says, pick someone else. I'm not cut out for that crap.

[unrecked]

Ow. [Childishly, he sort of kicks back near the boot.] It isn't going to be me. I pulled a gun out already.

So I guess we're fucked if someone else doesn't step up to the plate. I don't know, maybe Estelle can do it. [Who else here is friendship-based and nice.] Uh. [...] Mo...lly...? Kazunari.

...Shit. We have so few.

[skyagain]

[ cloud actually thinks about it but estelle was his pick ]

... That Rin kid when he's not being annoying...?

[ how's this an endorsement. ]

[unrecked]

...

[He pauses to take a slow sip of the drink he's barely touched. Pointedly.]

We're fucked probably.

[skyagain]

Yeah.

[ he didn't pour himself another drink and he still won't he is just going to slowly shake his head ]

Maybe instead of friendship it can be reluctant alliance.

[unrecked]

Great. Now you sound like some of the staff. [He puts on a mocking voice that doesn't sound like anyone else in particular really:] "Would it kill you to make allies, Jason?"

I think here, allies might be good as it gets for a while.

[skyagain]

Probably. [ but there's a pause ] Even the staff's getting in on scolding you to play nice?

[ he thinks that's hilarious. it is very clear. ]

[unrecked]

[Just going to punch Cloud gently in the shoulder because Cloud fucking deserves it.]

Shut up. None of them have even cared except, like, one.

[skyagain]

[ still hehehe about it ]

That's still one worrying about you making buddies.

[ it was allies but cloud is an asshole ]

[unrecked]

Allies. I don't need 'em, not here. That's just asking for trouble.

[Cloud is

right here.

NOT THAT IT MEANS ANYTHING, PLEASE SHUT UP.]

[skyagain]

[ they are best friends

but also cloud just looks at jason to see if he catches on that he is ranting this to a human being he has agreed to work with on things ]
