[ presumably, beau is resting or being checked on by one of her other friends, so nhs and phoenix are both taking a breather in a corner somewhere nearby. now that the danger's passed, phoenix sags a little, but nods to him. ]
.... Think she'll be alright.
.... Think she'll be alright.
She had better be-! Really, that man...
[huaisang heaves out a sigh, slumping back against the wall as he fans himself.]
I had no doubt she would win, but...

[ mood... even though phoenix doesn't have a fan to fan himself. ]
Neither did I, but I didn't expect him to fight quite so dirty.
Apparently, that was naive of me.
[ really he thought ogata knew he couldn't win and wouldn't try to make it worse for himself. ]

...mm. It's all too easy for people like that to take advantage of others.
[a shake of his head, there.]
She rose to it well, but those who prefer to take the higher road are always at higher risk, aren't they...?

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

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

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.

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.]

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.]
[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. ]
[ or gay. ]
Teens, or taken, or uninterested. Or not my type.
[he adds the last part a little quickly, hurrying right past 'uninterested'.]

[ phoenix will be hovering beside wherever akira's at after he's been taking care of, flinching a little for some reason? weird. ]
[ he does glance over when he sees nhs, though. ]
Evening.
[ he does glance over when he sees nhs, though. ]
Evening.
Oh, master Wright-
[he looks like he's about to ask after him? he seems concerned at the flinch?
what he says instead is-]
Are you finally ashamed to be seen dressed like that in public?
[...he just. puts a hand over his face.]

[ i love nhs.... ]
Thought we were past the "masters"......
[ but he doesn't seem bothered by the well deserved attack. ]
It's pretty comfortable. You should try it sometime.

Wright, then. You're right, it isn't deserved-
[UGH. he groans, shoulders slumping.]
I'm sorry, I really am-! Ever since I woke up, I can't stop telling people things like-- how I would rather burn that thing than have it near my head!

[ he seems pretty chill, aside from the occasional wince ]
Beau seems pretty fond of it.
[ enough to be wearing it this week... so phoenix is allegedly more presentable than normal. ]
Are they your deep down thoughts or is it a sass effect, I wonder...?

Beau's taste is as awful as yours, then.
[that. probably answers it, considering who he's insulting and the face he makes.]
Eugh. She's afflicted too, so please don't listen to anything insulting she says. Not that I expect you'd listen to good advice often.

Yes... I have been rubbing off on her in that way. It's unfortunate.
[ teej also has a mean effect and doesn't let me fix my html ]
Who else was with you two?

That idiot Wei-xiong. We thought we'd try to go find somewhere to test the effects together, but of course it stuck us with this--
[he's a bitch, but he doesn't like being a bitch to EVERYONE.]
I meant to speak with you this week, too, but perhaps it's for the best that I didn't bother-- eugh, no-- I don't know how productive it would be like this!

.... Could be worse. Last week's were pretty rough. [ imagining people dead... yikes. ] Think everyone will understand it's an effect.
[ especially it's not really in any of their natures to insult people... so blatantly. ]
I don't mind. What's up?
[ especially it's not really in any of their natures to insult people... so blatantly. ]
I don't mind. What's up?
Tell that to the horrible brute who threatened to slap me.
[okay that one he doesn't mind being bitchy about.
anyway he's going to suck it up and just go for it, insults and all.]
You're someone Beau's always seemed to trust, even if I can't possibly imagine why, so if she's important to me and you're for some unfortunate reason important to her--
[a pause, as he huffs out a breath, just... deciding he may as well.]
I'm blue. She's the only one who knows, so it's safe, though I certainly won't assume you've been just as cautious... [okay, he does wrinkle his nose there, because he's TRYING.] I don't know yours, but if this puts us on separate teams-- she knows I'd save her and she'd do the same, I know she'd save you even if it's hardly worthwhile, and I'm... [his face scrunches up. he wants so badly to say this normally.] Willing to save you as well as her even if I hate the thought-! No, you know what I mean, I...
[could this have waited until he could speak normally? probably. but he meant to get it out of the way before now, and here he fucking is. he doesn't want to wait til after the trial, they'll have more to speak about then.]

They'll probably eat their words tomorrow.
[ or get slapped in return.... ]
[ anyway, phoenix patiently waits through poor nhs's attempt to convey feelings in a non-insulting way. he continues to be non-plussed throughout it all -- really, being insulted constantly is a common occurrence for him, and the sentiment.... ]
.... Thanks.
[ sincerely. he does get what nhs was trying to convey. ] We're not on the same team, but the same goes for you and her --- though personally, I haven't thrown in the towel about finding another option.
