wk 1, monday

[silicone]

[ smecks cola on the head welcome, we are gathered here at the canal where it's maybe early afternoon. watching one of the slowly-moving gondolas, eiden gestures at alex with a wave. ]

Wanna catch a free ride?

[camena]

[ whee! yeah she'll come over! ]

Sure. Headed anywhere in particular?

[silicone]

The new park? Heard there are huge squirrels there.

[ how can he pass up huge squirrels. topper is also here because he wishes to be set free in the park for his own fun. he squeaks hello at alex cheerily. ]

[camena]

... How huge? Because I've seen some pretty big squirrels in my day.

[ hello topper, topper can have some scritches. ]

[silicone]

Same, that's why I have to check. I have no idea.

[ topper will happily lean in for scritches and settles down for the trip. ]

How much bigger can they get? Like... guinea pig? Puppy? Bigger? I don't want to get my hopes up.

[camena]

At a point they probably have trouble getting up a tree, so... I don't know. Guess it depends on how strong their little arms can get.

[silicone]

Time to imagine super buff squirrels with their own tiny six packs.

[camena]

Haha, yes! I'm picturing, like, little squirrels lifting weights. Spotting each other.

[silicone]

Man, if it's like that, then this is gonna be so worth it.

Squirrels at the gym! Squirrels getting swole! If that's not reality, I'm going to have to draw something about it.

[camena]

[ hehehehe ]

You can draw?

[silicone]

[ rattles my inbox tiredly ]

Mmmhm. I'm a designer—but man. Now I get to draw whatever the hell I want. So I may as well take advantage of that.

[camena]

You should have done art commissions last week like Haru. Could have made bank.

[silicone]

Honestly, I didn't even think about that. I was kind of just having fun with it. Sounds like he had fun with it too, though.

[camena]

Yeah, that's fair. Everyone was just doing what was fun.

Makes it hard to know how they're scoring something like that, though.

[silicone]

Man, yeah you'd think there'd be a rubric or something on that? Guess fumbling around's part of the game.

[camena]

And there are already teams in last place, so it's gotta be... something. Like, they are measuring things...

[silicone]

[ he nods ] Don't have much to be measured by at this point besides like what. Some cash?

This makes me head hurt.

[camena]

Think we'll get more, uh, transparency as we go? Or that it'll just stay like this the whole game?

[silicone]

Maybe a little? Probably whatever we can put together ourselves.

[ detective hats........ ]

[camena]

That means "no."

[silicone]

Yeeeeeep.

[camena]

Well... Have you found out anything useful from the Reapers yet?

[ our detective hats... ]
