Works for me.

It'll be fine as long as none of us die.

[ points at eyes points at them. since he's Not going home to tell annabeth her friends died. ]

Once a week, it's decided. None of us is going to die.

[likewise, they're not going home to tell Annabeth her cousin died...]

[resumed]

To be fair, some of us are already dead. [...like...just saying. Sorry Magnus.]

[DON'T DELETE THIS]

[PUT IT BACK]

We're all walking and talking and in one piece here, and that's how we're going to stay until we go home.

Let's just figure out how to do that soon, okay? I think we can all agree our world being frozen or whatever without us is a bad idea.

[ magnus says fuck all otherwise. ]

It's not great, though I got to admit it's better than moving forward without us.

The Dragon chick did sort of imply it's possible to come back to life, depending on our "actions" and "vicious goal chasing". But we shouldn't rely on that.

I'd rather not see any of us subjected to their whims any more than we already are.

[So, like, both of you keep breathing, yeah?]

But we'll need information if we're to find our way out of this. We should try and speak with them when we can [which lmao that means magnus bc i'm not making the other mods npc with us,,,] but also see if we can get the others to tell us what, if anything, they're telling them.

[resumed]

I wonder if we'd have an easier time getting other people to talk to us than getting the goddesses to speak. Reyna and I already divided most of the people in the castle to look into...want in?

Maybe. They might be less naturally inclined to be cagey? Sure, I can try. I'm not much of a detective, but. Have you guys got a list?

[ by detective he means he's used to Leaving People Alone ]

We've just been doing half and half, with a bit of overlap for comparison's sake. But we don't want to move too quickly and look like we're deliberately trying to network with people, either.

[They want to compare notes on other people, but if those same others compare notes and discover that they've started taking an abrupt interest in getting to know the others, that could be awkward.]

Who have you gotten to know already? We can start from there and slowly expand your circle so it looks natural.

For me, it's Kyouka and Yasusada. He's a sword spirit. I think he's very interesting.

[wearys]

Well, you guys, and... [ pause. shit. he's been in "don't ask questions" mode as if this is just another youth shelter-- where no one wants to be bothered unless they tell you so. he barely knew anything about hearth and blitzen after some two years until he died, after all. ] Ann's my partner, so there's that.
