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.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

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

[crossmyheartandhope]

[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.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

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

[crossmyheartandhope]

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.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

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.

[crossmyheartandhope]

For real?

Just like that?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

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

Just like that.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...

...thanks, dude.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[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.

[crossmyheartandhope]

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.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

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

[crossmyheartandhope]

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.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

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.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...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.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[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.

[crossmyheartandhope]

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?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

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.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... yeah.

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

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

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.

[crossmyheartandhope]

We'll take care of it.

[He pauses for a beat or two.]

But if something happens to you, we're gonna come get you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That will be unnecessary. I can get myself out just fine.

[crossmyheartandhope]

So we'll be a couple extra sets of hands. You can boss us around or something, use us to execute your master plan.
