[Well at least none of them got stuck in Heaven or the Abyss]

Don't put that guilt on your shoulders. That was always my plan.

If this place has to keep running - albeit renovated - there's no one better to see to it here than myself.

[The rest of you are all too soft is what he doesn't say out loud]

Renovated, huh? You putting in new bathroom tiles?

The drapes are also hideous. Most everything has got to go.

And I'm going to fire the interior decorator.

Get a new game designer while you're at it. Those could use some work, for sure.

You're looking at him. But I'll take referrals if you know anyone on the market who'd be decent at it.

Sounds like you already found the best guy for the job.

...I wouldn't say no to doing a couple if you ever need some time off, though.

Don't you want to go home? After we figure out this stupid "fallen" problem.

[Sh... rugs.]

Pretty sure our place is, uh. Maybe not doing so hot?

Jury's out on how much there's left to go back to.

Are you wondering when your post-apocalyptic dystopia is going to have another apocalypse?

Edited (what is grammar can I eat it) 2019-03-31 02:51 (UTC)

Or if it's mid-apocalypse? Like the apocalypse is just... ongoing. Real slow.

I gotta get some more memories and see what's what, I think.

I see. The worst kind of apocalypse. A late one.

[Waves hand dismissively at the getting more memories part]

Fine. Sure. If you do decide to stay, let me know so I can make extra rooms in the Hellcastle for you and Nemesis.

For real?

Just like that?

Unless you think whatever C establishes as Heaven would be a better option. Then yes.

Just like that.

...

...thanks, dude.

[Said oh so nonchalantly as if he was promising to bring something to a potluck.]

Of course.

[Scribbling in the last part of the notes]

I'll get these compiled and see what to do about the next meeting. Obviously this one shouldn't be out in the lobby.

Yeah, for sure.

[A beat, quiet. Then:]

I was kinda thinking, maybe someone oughtta get a dorm upgrade that's just, like - an amphitheatre or something. Some kinda room big enough to seat everyone, so we could have somewhere for meetings and stuff.

Do you have a suggestion for where would be the most neutral ground?

I been meaning to float it by my team for a while now... but if we're talking neutral ground, we might not be the best choice.

[He takes a moment to genuinely consider.]

...you guys could probly do it. You got a ton of good will from getting all this info together.

I'd have to talk it over with my unit. You saw how...

---skittish they were after the game with the collars. I wouldn't want to put that on them if they didn't want visitors to the dorm.

...yeah. Sorry about that, by the way. For like. For gate crashing.

[A beat. Then:]

I'll see if HSS is good for it. Mostly no one's home after bad games these days, anyway.

[Raises an eyebrow at the last comment. Really? That's surprising to Intensity]

We'll share the blame on that one. I was the one who invited you over. I'd didn't know they'd be so---

[Handwave]

In the interest of time, I'll arrange for the first meeting to be held here. But we should think about the long term plan. And if we need to fund a large meeting room.

Works for me, dude. We're probly gonna want the new meeting way before any kinda dorm upgrade gets approved, anyway.

Sounds like you got a long-term plan in mind already, though. Whatcha thinking?

I'm thinking about when we transition from just information gathering to forming a plan and acting on it. They'll suffer our - in their minds - laughable attempts of us grasping at straws.

But if they think we might be a threat or know something that they don't, that puts us in a much more dangerous position. We'll need to spread that kind of knowledge carefully but with enough redundancy that if we lose a few people in our ranks, the information is not permanently lost.

Yeah... yeah.

They get serious, we better be ready for whatever they throw our way.

Exactly. If something should happen to me, I'll leave you and B in charge of scouting out who the next information person should be.

We can't be too reliant any one person being here, which will make things difficult.
