Not like the teams matter that much. It's meant to be incentive to work harder, that's all. [ there's a hesitation and; ] Don't... siblings do that stuff anyway? Compete?

[evocationary]

Sure, sure, but generally I like to know what kind of competition it is before I really lean into it, and being drafted into a fetch quest where my magic powers are shut off doesn't exactly inspire confidence, my dude.

[retellers]

[ tilts their head like "yeah, okay, fair" ]

So long as the job gets done, I don't care how well we do, so that's fine.

[evocationary]

I don't particularly care either, but as long as it's like... I don't know, actually a friendly competition like you guys keep saying, I won't hesitate, bitch.

[ she loves her brother but the cain instinct is strong ] Hey, what happens if you take off the mask?

[retellers]

That'll be something to see.

[ there's an almost smirk tugging at their lips, but it fades quickly at the question ]

Don't know. Just... have a feeling I shouldn't. [ it's hard to tell with the mask, but there's the distinct impression of a frown there ] Considering the way this place works, I'd rather not test it out.

[evocationary]

[ she will take that smirk as a victory, tbh ]

What do you mean, the way this place works? [ concerning. ]

[retellers]

The Realm works on its own set of rules, and it's strict about how things have to be done. Bad feeling might be its way of telling us not to do something. [ and then after a beat ] Could be I'm going nuts, too, but since none of the others are taking them off either ...

[evocationary]

You should definitely take it off for science.

[retellers]

No.

[ blunt. ]

[evocationary]

Lame. [ pbhllthththttt ]

Have any other people on your team come to talk to you yet?

[retellers]

Yeah.

[ ... add anything else, wolf? no? thank you for nothing. ]

[evocationary]

[ wolf please ]

Dooo I get to know who else is on our team?

[retellers]

I can't give you names outright, but we'll be able to give you hints starting next week. [ there's a beat ] Don't know why it's even a secret.

[ they're so tired ]

[evocationary]

Me and you both, dude. They better be good hints. I expect a prize for managing to find my whole team.

[retellers]

I can do a pat on the back.

[ it's unclear whether they're joking or not. ]

[evocationary]

[ she gigglesnorts. ]

Oh hell yeah! No takebacks!

[retellers]

[ okay, NOW there's a smirk ]

You can hold me to it.

[evocationary]

You got it, bud.

[ she shoves her hands in her pockets. ] One more question.

[retellers]

Go ahead.

[evocationary]

Favorite food? Tell me you didn't forget that.

[retellers]

Uh...

[

they seem to have to think about it. ]

... Stew, maybe...?

[ please sound less unsure ]

[evocationary]

[ you're killing her, smalls ]

You forgot your favorite food. Is there anything you remember about yourself other than the fact that your fursona is a wolf?

[retellers]

Didn't pick the mask, either.

[ so they're helping. but: ]

I don't know. Some stuff like that we shouldn't have forgotten, but... Guess I just don't have a favorite food.

[evocationary]

Doesn't change the fact that your fursona is a wolf.

You have to have a favorite food. How else am I going to bribe you if you don't?

[retellers]

Don't like whatever that means.

[ but at that question. they could say that they do not need bribes. instead: ]

Alcohol?

[ dryly. ]
