[ ... this makes her laugh, and she closes the pub door. ]

Lemme guess. Wolf gave you a hint to come find me?

[dawnblushed]

Aww, and here I thought I was being subtle!

[not


really.]

[evocationary]

[ subtle enough!! ]

Nah, you would be, but I asked Wolf for a hint this week and they were like no, I'm giving it to someone else because I hate you.

[ lup that's not what they said ] Now I gotta know what the hint was.

[dawnblushed]

[she looks thoughtful for a few long moments]

I don't think they hate you. Their clue was I should look for the best cook here.

[evocationary]

[ ... WOLF

also they're close enough that yona can probably feel the burst of glee from lup. ]

Oh my god. Yona. Do you understand this gift you've given me? Do you understand how much I get to rub this in Taako's face for the rest of eternity?

[dawnblushed]

[!!

that glee is great! ...but it leaves yona feeling surprised and then a little bit guilty.]

Ah - wait! They told me not to tell you, but I wanted to make sure you didn't think they hated you, so I did, but if you tell Taako it might get back to them and they'll get mad at me for saying it...?!

[evocationary]

[ snort. ]

They probably already know. Our specific team leaders can hear everything we say. [ but. ] I won't tell him anyway. Just the idea of it is enough to keep me high for the rest of the week.

[dawnblushed]

[EEP. panic!!]

Ahhh, that's right, they can! I forgot about that!!

[evocationary]

[ YONA ] They're not gonna care. All they do is be tsundere and fight.

Have you found any of the rest of us?

1/2

[dawnblushed]

But I just got them to tell me I was tolerable! Now they'll probably change that to "intolerable"!

[aaaaa]

[dawnblushed]

...no, not yet. I've been kind of tempted to ask people, but we were told not to ask, so it seems like people have been avoiding talking about it...

[evocationary]

[ lup hums. ]

I'm kind of curious to see what happens if we just ask a bunch of people their team. I'm at, uh - three? Not including you, since we're samesies.

I suspect Rufus is also one of ours, but I haven't asked him.

[dawnblushed]

Oh, I'll ask him. We talk sometimes, and he probably won't think it's too weird if I try to pay him.

[evocationary]

Thank god, he drives me nutso. [ lup be nice ] Have you told anybody else yours?

[dawnblushed]

[she shakes her head]

No. But also, no one's asked me.

[evocationary]

I don't know how much it matters! Like. Wolf said we get nova for voting correctly, so I guess if we know the team the killer is on that helps, but.

Like. I don't need a wish. So. Us winning garbage every week hasn't exactly swayed me to the cause.

[dawnblushed]

I don't really care that much about winning as long as our worlds are safe in the end... but I guess if we're able to gather more of it, we might be able to make sure our worlds are safe sooner.

[evocationary]

[ oh, right, the whole... safe world thing. ]

Right. One frying pan into another. [ she grumbles. ] Maybe. I wish we had a clear idea of how much nova we get from doing things.

[dawnblushed]

I wish that, too. We know which teams have more than others, but we don't know how much is in that "more".

Which is sort of counterproductive when you think about it...

[evocationary]

I have several problems with the way this competition is run, for sure.

So - okay, let me ask you this, then. Do you think Cater was on Wolf team? The fanny pack was there as evidence.

[dawnblushed]

Now that you mention it, that would make a lot of sense.

[yona is smart enough to have considered this before but alas, i, britt, am a goddamn moron who did not.]

I haven't seen anyone else with a bag like that, though. So I guess it's possible that other teams have it and are just hiding it, but... if I got one and you got one, it would make sense.

[evocationary]

[ she nods a bit. ]

I bet most people have been keeping quiet about having it, because uh - it'd give away your team real quick if you went around advertising that you got a gift for being in first place, right? I know I've been keeping it to myself.

So. Either, uh - it was Cater, or it was her killer. But uh, Cater was eating candy, right? And there was candy in the fanny pack, so.

[dawnblushed]

Mhm, we were eating snacks while we were waiting for it to get late. But it was dark in the planetarium, so I didn't really see what she was carrying hers in...

[Alas. She'll have to examine her curfew buddies more closely in the future.]

[evocationary]

Hm. [ she sighs heavily. ]

Well... okay, at least the two of us are working this out. We can share with each other if we figure out more of our team members, are you good with that?

[dawnblushed]

Mhm, sounds good!

...oh, if Rufus is on our team, is it okay if I tell him that you are? Or should I keep that a secret for now?
