.................you alright?

[tries to. take the bottle.]

Would you believe I'm trying to cut out crazy in my life. But it's like this---

[And wags the bottle before letting Shine take it]

Coping mechanism.

I feel like if you had less crazy to deal with though you'd have less to cope about.

So try to sell me on shut-in life.

You have until you finish that bottle.

No one to worry about in the games who aren't on this unit. No having to fight in games about my person not being protected.

No one besides my unit yelling at me.

No one dragging me into drama.

First point noted.

Second point iffy.

Third point rejected. I'm dragging you into drama right now.

The drama doesn't really uh effect me though?

But you probably should keep contacts off the unit for business reasons.

And be satisfied that we'll have no allies to draw upon in situations like this game?

Naw, I was saying you should keep contacts and friends on other units for that reason.

Just I don't gotta do it cuz you are. How many allies you got?

Business and unit politics are in separate buckets. Otherwise, I'm dunk on every unit for AlcheME!

And at this point, BARiTONES and Heart Soldier. The latter highly dependent on their feelings conflicts at the time.

I would have said ZRAEL previously, but there's no way that Man Eater would win against all ZRAEL's other priorities. He prefers it that way, but this was the second time I found him a bleeding mess and all his unitmates no where to be seen.

...so his unit pretty much abandoned him then?

I doubt they would see it that way.

But also, you can usually find a gaggle of us hanging around if one of ours is injured.

I thought they were suppose to be really close to each other?

That's what I thought, too.

[Sighs]

Whatever. It's not important. Outside of the fact that they probably fall in the priority list of us, but not necessarily the reverse is true.

...are you okay with that? You care about him a lot.

But that's exactly the point, isn't it? He cares about his unit a lot, so I don't want to make things difficult for him.

But we can't keep having multiples ties where we prioritize and it's not reciprocated. That's the exact problem Taisho is having.

So, fuck if I know what to do about it.

Taisho? I thought Avante lost.

Yes, avante lost by self-sacrificing in coordination with Heart Soldier Senshi.

But doing the math, if they hadn't done that, it would have been Taisho's loss most likely. Kaguya approached me in the first round looking for advice. And I didn't have any to give her outside of pairing with another unit.

Guess they need to work on things then, yeah. Lucky for them Avante took a fall.

[Just sighs]

Right right. I'm done talking unit politics for the night.

I'll go talk to Taisho tomorrow.

Do you want an alliance with Taisho? You don't really give a fuck about any of them.

No, but Gadget cares for Fox. And Kaguya's decent enough.

I just want to talk to Kaguya. I'm not looking to make alliances. Seems messy and complicated.

I can't believe her Wild City friend popped back up why are there so many...

What really?

[And then a pause]

I must be out of it if you're more in the loop than I am.

Yeah I was checking profiles earlier.

Although she's really good about it. Gadget's a champ.
