Who: Aries and u
Where: the lobby
When: day 61 morning

[are you ready for another deliberately boring wild city live? ah yea you are!! gotta get them points!!!

Aries is hanging out in the lobby brushing his hair on camera. that's it, yep

He's blind, though it's probably hard to notice, honestly, but if you approach him he'll tilt his head to track the sound of your steps, not turn toward you]

We better, because we're not hurting Gold no matter what.

[zugzwange]

That's not an alliance, you know. But I have no intentions of hurting Avante.

[forthetainted]

We haven't exactly been good allies, either. But we don't have much to offer.

[zugzwange]

Exactly. Really, it's more like guilty friendships.

[forthetainted]

Is it even friendship?

[zugzwange]

Well, you know.

[forthetainted]

[sighs and leans back against him, forgetting about the whole rib situation]

We can work on that, too.

[zugzwange]

[ w. wheeze ]

Hah. . . is that what you want?

[forthetainted]

Well, if we're not going to ever attack them anyway... it'd be a waste to not get a real alliance out of it... right?

[zugzwange]

[ hrg ]

. . . I suppose so.

[forthetainted]

I'll work on it. Cardigan isn't much of an ally but he's still been better to us than we've been to them.

[zugzwange]

Doesn't Cardigan dislike us.

[forthetainted]

I don't think he's really a fan. But it's not like I like him that much either. But he's still come by after the last two rough games with food or drink.He's not a bad guy, just kind of an asshole.

[zugzwange]

It isn't a bribe. . .?

[forthetainted]

A bribe for what...?

[zugzwange]

Trying to soften us up, think of Cardigan more favorably, so forth and so on. You're more influenced by Cardigan because of the gifts, hm?

[forthetainted]

I mean, I guess... But that's not exactly weird. Obviously I'm going to like people who even notice that we've been having a shit time over everyone else.

[zugzwange]

Obviously.

[forthetainted]

I mean that's normal.

[zugzwange]

It's still manipulation.

[forthetainted]

I think it's just being decent.

[zugzwange]

When is decent just manipulation. . .?

[forthetainted]

Uh....

[thinks about it]

...I guess when you stop as soon as you don't get anything out of it.

[zugzwange]

And you don’t thiNk Cardigan would stop.

[forthetainted]

....okay, you're right
