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]

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

[zugzwange]

Besides, it's already 'good cop', right? Condemnation and gifts at the same time. . . what else can it be.

[forthetainted]

Well, it's still better than how everyone else treats us.

[zugzwange]

Low bar. . .

[forthetainted]

And it's what we agreed to. You might think of it as 'fake', and I guess maybe it is. But it's still more than we've done.

[zugzwange]

I suppose so, I just wouldn't get too comfortable.

[forthetainted]

Doubt that'll happen.

[zugzwange]

. . . do you want Cardigan as a friend?

[forthetainted]

I don't care about that, really...

[zugzwange]

Either way, it's going to end poorly.
