Can't believe we're doing the Tom and Jerry routine where we put a bunch of nova under a box propped up by a stick and say "pspspspspsps monster, come here, you big dolt".

[retellers]

... pspspspspsps?

[robopriest]

Like, what you do with a cat to get them to come to you. They like the sound.

[retellers]

[ ... ]

I guess I don't have a cat...

[robopriest]

Would you want to have one?

[retellers]

Don't know if I'd be very good with pets...

[robopriest]

Aw, how come? Its not hard to keep one.

[retellers]

I give the vibe of someone who would be a horrible pet mother. Too self-centered?

[robopriest]

Well, why not a cat, then? Cats are kind of self-centered, too.

[retellers]

You agreed so quickly on self-centered.

[ she sounds amused ]

[robopriest]

I call it when I see it, me being a black pot pointing out the kettle and all.

[is he really self-centered though (thinking emoji)]

[cheerbleed]

[ francy is free from mod account tagging ]

Are you self-centered?

francy is a free elf

[robopriest]

Aren't I? I'm biased towards the people and things I like, and will pursue my own self-interests...or something like that.

[cheerbleed]

You just described literally everyone.

But in the end, would you help everyone here or yourself?

[robopriest]

...

[A light smile.]

Perhaps more of the latter than the former.

[cheerbleed]

[ hm... ]

You know... if I was a participant, I probably wouldn't have hesitated the second I found out about the requirement.

[robopriest]

...You mean, you would murder to save the rest?

[cheerbleed]

More like I'm not sure I would trust anyone else to do it.

[robopriest]

That...would be an awful lot of people you'd have to murder.

[PUTTING ON HIS MOST DISAPPROVING "I WAS A DAD FOR TEN YEARS" FACE]

[cheerbleed]

[ there's a pause, and then she laughs. ]

I'd just make sure my own team is taken care of. [ ... ] But I won't let myself get screwed over just because other people hesitate.

[robopriest]

...Hm. You know, I don't like the sound of you going out and murdering whoever, even for some rules, but...

[And a huff.]

You look out for your own, and that's something.

[cheerbleed]

[ sometimes, you are surprisingly protective of people you care about but you also keep those people at high standards where you expect the same from them or else. :^) ]

Well, don't tell people about that, because I have an image to maintain here.

[robopriest]

[He smirks.]

Haha. But of course. I'll tell everyone you're...how do you say it? The baddest bitch in the whole Realm.

[cheerbleed]

I'm going to put that quote on a t-shirt and sell it at the Emporium.

[robopriest]

Please do. I would buy it.

Speaking of baddest bitch...I still need to teach you how to suplex people, huh?
