[ugh]

[quietly, but loudly enough for Phoenix to hear]

. . . what is this place?

[slobjection]

That's the question, isn't it?

[ but it's only week 0 ]

[survivaltricks]

A world so affected by our presence that it starts to resemble people and events from our memories. . . a world that rejects us so thoroughly we have to wear magic scrunchies to keep ourselves safe.

[IT IS ONLY WEEK ZERO]

Phoenix. . . what do you think we should do?

[slobjection]

Solve the trial. Try to get more information from our hosts.

... For now, that's all we can do.

[survivaltricks]

[Phoenix is right ("Wright"), but. . .]

After seven weeks of this bullshit, it doesn't feel like enough.

[slobjection]

[ he's always wright ]

It's not. But we have to pace ourselves.

[survivaltricks]

[wryly]

Slow and steady wins the race, right?

[slobjection]

Something along those lines.

[ al let's do a new pc ]

[survivaltricks]

. . . yeah.

[just]

[exhales again]

[ALSO YES SIPP LET'S]

I just have to be. . . patient.

[slobjection]

Now you're getting it.

[ puts a hand on akira's shoulder, he gets a little dadding, as a treat ]

You can blow off steam in creative ways... while we wait to see the real threat.

[survivaltricks]

. . . [his mouth twitches]

Brewing lots and lots of coffee?

[slobjection]

That's creating steam, but close enough.

[ he's very funny ]

[survivaltricks]

[he is funny, and it draws a laugh from Akira. he loves dad jokes :(]

[slobjection]

Could also throw some eggs. That might be fun.

[ he's joking... maybe ]

[survivaltricks]

. . . depends.

What am I throwing the eggs at?

[slobjection]

What do you want to throw eggs at?

Aside from me.

[survivaltricks]

[OPENS HIS MOUTH TO RESPOND-- but then Phoenix adds that last part and he just pouts]

You're ruining my fun.

[he does not actually want to throw eggs at Nick, it was just the easiest joke to make]

[slobjection]

That's what I do best.

[ gently sparkles ]
