Multi-Team Meeting (Take Two)

[dragonheartedgirl]

Who: Everyone
Where:
When: (FORWARD DATED TO) Day 22, Morning

[ Sometime during the evening of Day 21, every team will have found a small slip of paper inviting them to a team meeting the following morning in the Hotel Lobby at 10 AM. Come down to check it out this morning and you'll find HSS arranging the chairs and seating to better accommodate a large group of people. There's no refreshments or food today, but the kitchen is close by if you feel like grabbing your rations or a snack to tide you over for the duration. ]

We both agreed his skill set more adequately fit that project than mine did. That and in light of certain events we thought it might be best for him to take a step back from this role for a while. If he wants it back later, I am not adverse to such a thing.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

... In light of certain events?

[dragonheartedgirl]

I'll leave it up to Boss to determine if he wishes to speak with you more specifically on the matter.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And so now you're in charge?

[dragonheartedgirl]

That would depend on what you mean by "in charge." Once there is a council in place, I should expect that everyone will be equally "in charge" in-so-far as having an equal say in how things are done here. I'm only trying to arrange a framework.

[ or a cat wrangler. ]

Do you have a problem with me calling these meetings, Intensity?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I do. You're fucking petty. And would burn a good idea to the ground if it even showed a hint of going against your painfully narrow worldview.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ that is a strong accusation. ]

What makes you believe that?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh let's see. Every conversation we've ever had. Is that a good enough start?

[dragonheartedgirl]

Most of our conversations have been you trying to pick fights in one way or the other, have they not? If I recall, you were deliberately trying to needle me to see how far you can push me. In any case, how I interact with you, or anyone else, outside of this role is not the same as if I am acting in this capacity.

[ it may shock you but she is capable of wearing the diplomacy hat, Intensity ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So Her Majesty will grace us with a face of peace and diplomacy at court, even if that's not how she is when she mingles with the commoners. Which is the truth? And which is the lie?

Tell me, Your Highness. Do you really think you'll be able to keep that smile or that composure when someone is really trying to push you into a corner?

[dragonheartedgirl]

If you would like to test me, you are welcome to do so.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I have been. Every single fucking time. And each time you've let your temper get the best of you.

Don't think just because you can control yourself once that it counts as a victory. Absurd. The cameras are rolling 24/7. So if you want to be successful, that demure diplomat act of yours will have to last for just as long.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ She did not rise to the occasion when you started yelling at her in your dorm!! but you know what. fine.

not petty.

mature. ]

Very well. I'm sure that if I fail you'll have many angles to watch me do so. If it comes to that, I'll be sure to make it as entertaining for you as possible. In the meantime, if you have any other thoughts you'd like to contribute, I'm happy to listen.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Your fake smile doesn't fool anyone. Nor do your passive aggressive barbs.

And that's why the producers will eat you alive if you ever actually meet them face to face.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ THAT WASN'T EVEN HER FAKE SMILE? OR A PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE BARB? her fake smiles are all much more unnatural and her barbs are



she's not passive


she's honestly just a little bit dumb-founded ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ And then trying not to laugh, because he's just misunderstand that, too. ]

All right, Intensity. Your advice is noted. Was there anything else?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Are you implying the Intensity is somehow not able to read people and their emotions??? GASP!]

No, Your Majesty. Go mingle with the rest of your court.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ LOOK, there's being bad at reading people/emotions and then there's

illiteracy.

This is the most ridiculous thing? Honestly, she can't help it, she's laughing now. ]

By your leave, then, thank you.
