We've got quite a bit of those gathered here.

[ not including himself in that number, apparently ]

I'm not really sure if it's a good thing.

Suppose it's better than the other way around, though.

[ imagine a game full of ogatas ]

It would go faster that way, wouldn't it.

[but also, like, phoenix isn't wrong.

he's quiet a moment, before he sighs.]

But it's going to be hard on all of them, especially a second time.

We might not have made it past this week, even.

[ considering... everything. he nods. ]

Doesn't seem like there's an easy way out, either.

And at least one group seems not to have had a way out at all.

[the thot boat is out there fucking up everyone's hopes, wow.]

[ the thot boat is out here ruining everything with sex demons ]

Wonder if that particular "residual" is influencing things here.

[ what with the win conditions.... ]

Do you think it's possible....? Ugh, if those rules begin being enacted, I'm going to die and it's going to be a crime that I died due to a lack of prospects!

[huaisang, please, your PRIORITIES.]

A handsome guy like you kicking it....? I think not. I'm sure you've got plenty of prospects, it's just that the crowd here is mostly teens.

[ or gay. ]

Teens, or taken, or uninterested. Or not my type.

[he adds the last part a little quickly, hurrying right past 'uninterested'.]

[ rest in pieces nhs......... platonic pal. phoenix just gives him a little pat on the shoulder ]

Well, if those conditions do crop up again, I think we'll all have to forego taste a little.

[he exhales a sigh, at that pat.]

I suppose you're right. Maybe we'll both be fine, then, in that case.

[ it's quick, because he doesn't want to make it too awkward.... but that's rough, buddy. ]

Think so. Though, if that residual does crop up, I think it'd make things very uncomfortable... considering there's children here.

-eugh, you're right, the ten year old.

[he keeps forgetting damian exists.]

If nothing else, I think that should stave it off.

We might be safe...... or there could be a family friendly version of it.

Suppose it remains to be seen, though.

I'd prefer if it doesn't change at all. At least we know the rules, as things stand now.

I can adjust if they change, but I dislike it.

I'd stay on your toes. So far, it's been pretty by the book to what we know, but.... well, these residuals are a little unpredictable.

...I stay on them more than most give me credit for. I'd like to keep it that way here, as long as I can.

[he shakes his head, slightly.]

You and the others from the mansion know, but everyone else doesn't.

There is some merit to being underestimated.

[ hence why phoenix dresses and acts like he does. ]

Not sure if they'll clue in about you. Some seem sharp, some others.... hard to say.

You'd know, wouldn't you?

[a slight smile, at that. yeah, they know their own type, and also phoenix's notes got doxxed postdeath-- he paid more attention than he seemed like he was.]

Well, we'll see. If they do, then if they're smart they won't let on. To either of us.

I might know a little about that, yes....

[ wow his court record got so doxxed.... but he nods. ]

Think they have their own demons to wrestle, too. Maybe literally, in some cases.

The boat again...

[he looks slightly troubled this time, though.]

You know-- one of them is from home. Wei Wuxian. I have to wonder how it'll affect things, if... one of us ends up winning, and the other doesn't, but I don't even know his team yet.

He did mention you, when I chatted with him.

[ phoenix gonna get those embarrassing childhood stories!! ]

Suppose it depends on how close you two are.... and how many people he'd want to save. His group fared much worse than ours, after all.
