[jinglebros]

Right?

[unexpectedboner]

[shrugs]

Weird... Well, hopefully it'll end here. If someone saves her, it won't have to be us.

[jinglebros]

Yeah.

This is symptomatic about other things to worry about, though.

[unexpectedboner]

People freaking out and deciding they don't want to be dead? Since that kinda makes sense to me?

[jinglebros]

I'm talking about the meeting. And the fact Lotus decided to spring a dangerous thing on one of us without warning again.

[unexpectedboner]

You didn't ask her what she was after? Just doing it for shits and giggles?

[jinglebros]

She didn't exactly give me the chance. I want to confront her, but I've got to be careful about it.

Which is why I've got a proposition.

[unexpectedboner]

What is it?

[jinglebros]

Let's bring June in on this. Not the meetings, just... just take her aside, talk to her about Lotus and find out what she thinks should be done. She'll know how to play this the right way.

[unexpectedboner]

Huh... Maybe not today, though? The fire and everything was pretty jarring already...

[jinglebros]

Actually, she'd kill us if she finds out we waited because we thought she needed time to recover.

[unexpectedboner]

Not literally. ...Right?

[jinglebros]

You know what? After the talk she gave me last time, it's possible.

[unexpectedboner]

............................................

[jinglebros]

[ Tight smile. ]

[unexpectedboner]

.........Hahaha, you had me there for a minute. Anyway, maybe we should wait and see if Lotus makes anymore moves. Then we can know exactly what we're dealing with... If all of us start acting cold, it's gonna seem too suspicious.

[jinglebros]

Maybe we'll wait, yes, but we're still talking to June.

[unexpectedboner]

I didn't mean not ever tell her...

[probably]

[jinglebros]

[ Raises an eyebrow. ]

[unexpectedboner]

[is totally not gonna take being judged by a drunk guy!

...looks away]

[jinglebros]

[ Continues Staring ]

[unexpectedboner]

[ignores?

...ignores! this is the most interesting bottle of booze ever, perhaps he will finally give in and drink some of it]

[jinglebros]

[ Isn't going to drink more of it himself. He's had enough to kill a man Seven's size.

But he does get bored staring, so he starts fiddling with his fingers instead. ]

...

[unexpectedboner]

[he wasn't gonna give it to him anyway! alcohol poisoning is bad

...he thinks, drinking more deeply than initially intended]

...What do you wanna do when this's all over?

[jinglebros]

Not die.
