[ 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. ]

[evocationary]

[ PFFT. ]

Right. Whenever I can actually find alcohol. The mini bottle lasted all of five minutes.

[retellers]

Yeah... The idea was to only put stuff that fits inside the bag, but...

[ the pillow cheated. well, wolf will help her out and takes out a bottle of strong alcohol (player's choice) from. seemingly out of nowhere ]

Here. That help?

[evocationary]

[ oh my god?? WOLF HAS THE STASH. ]

Oh, this will come in handy. [ she immediately makes grabby hands for it. ] Guess that means my alcohol bribe is kind of useless if you can just summon alcohol from the negaspace.

[retellers]

[ he hands it over and shrugs ]

Probably shouldn't drink too much on the job anyway. You should worry more about having to bribe the others. No matter what happens, I have to answer my team.

[evocationary]

[ she hugs it. ]

Any hints on what kind of stuff I should give the others? You seem to know each other a bit better than the rest of us, at least. [ a pause. calculating: ] Is there gonna be reason to bribe the others?

[ because like if she can cheat... ]

[retellers]

Not that well. We've only known each other about a week.

[ and considering how social wolf is. it is not entirely unbelievable they don't know shit about the others ]

Same reason you'd have bribing anybody else. To get information or favors from them. It's not my style.

[evocationary]

[ that's fair. ]

Of course I get the NPC that doesn't do favors. [ SIGH. ] Well. You did give me alcohol. I guess I can call that lucky.

I'm going to have to talk to Goose, next. Swan. Whatever.

[retellers]

I meant... bribing people. Doing favors is part of the job.

[ lup, please. but they tilt their head ]

Why Swan?

[evocationary]

Why do you think? Use your noggin.

[retellers]

[ there's a pause ]

... We're not supposed to know each other's team members. [ a little tiredly, but: ] Sorry for your brother. Swan's... eager.

[ how did they make that sound like an insult. ]

[evocationary]

Technically I didn't tell you anything. [ she says cheerfully. ]

I doubt he'll talk to them. I just have some, uh - some networking to do.
