[ after emet-selch enters the planetarium... nothing will happen. when he finally gets tired of waiting and walks outside, he will find a figure leaning against the wall of the building.
they glance at him before pushing themself off the wall. ]
Yes?

Yes?
You have been able to observe, then.
[cool. good to know they apparently can be watched.]
If you know no more, I assume you may have questions as well-- but with what you have seen of... this gathering, what would you assume to be the odds of success?

Yup. [ they pop the p. ] Only people on my team though, since I guess it's considered "cheating" otherwise.
[ they do the air quotes. but, moving on. ]
As for the odds... as long as people participate in this whole mess, and things progress as it has been, it should be fine. But if whatever is taking the nova suddenly changes how it's doing things, it might throw us off a lot.

Which it almost certainly will, should things begin to happen to stop it... presuming it has the ability, and is not merely some natural disruption.
[a slight shake of his head.]
Then as long as the rest do not grow complacent in any progress made, it may prove to be enough.

[ unfortunately, tiger is very much not a genki. ]
Great. Look, I'm not going to pretend that I want to be your friend or anything, so we can at least skip the whole handholding deal.
[ there's a pause, and then they go on. ]
What else? I know you probably have other stuff you want to talk about.

Well, if I grow bored enough, I may ask later.
[he isn't. very invested in the competition part right now.]
Have you any guidelines surrounding it on our end, then? Not that I truly intend to answer should anyone ask, but I would not have a lack of awareness.

You're not flat out banned from telling people, but... [ they wave their hand vaguely ] it's highly recommended that you tell as little as possible. And it'll have to be in private--no public declarations, which doesn't really seem like it would be an issue with you.
But the Realm is, like, stupid about certain things. Strict about how we go about it, especially when it's falling apart like this? So if we break too many guidelines it set up, it'll throw a temper tantrum.
[ there are better ways to explain this but tiger is too annoyed by it to do so. ]
Thus, as little people as possible.

Insofar as it is needed to return to my own world, yes. I will do whatever is necessary. Past that...
[he folds his arms, looking maybe vaguely uncomfortable. he hasn't moved from where he stands this whole time, he absolutely refuses to get touchy.]
I have no measure of your worth as leader after so short a time, or of what else may be required in future, and will make you no promises in advance.
[if he must, if it interests or benefits him, or if he decides this one is worthwhile. case by case basis, really.]

[ that's funny. and it is unfortunate that tiger is unaware of why he looks uncomfortable. maybe that is just what old people are like. ]
Eh. Good enough. It would be pretty creepy if you were swearing your loyalty after like, five minutes of conversation.
