Red Bull gives you wings: I KNOW RIGHT Red Bull gives you wings: Well she said it was mostly a happy cry but it still freaked me out Red Bull gives you wings: Things must have been hard at lilis for a while now
sad bird in snow: Mm, I know there were some members she didn't really get along with... sad bird in snow: Mostly John. I know they got in a really big fight at one point, and I know she's sort of felt disconnected from how LiliS wants to do things... we talked about it a bit recently because I asked her for advice on Cardinal.
Red Bull gives you wings: Hopefully she doesn't end up feeling the same with us Red Bull gives you wings: Like cardinal does Red Bull gives you wings: How's the survey results looking? Red Bull gives you wings: Did everyone fill it out yet
sad bird in snow: Mm, I really hope not... sad bird in snow: But everyone except Kohime filled it out! And I sent Amaranth after Kohime. sad bird in snow: Actually, there's a lot of things the whole unit agrees on—specifically, that we all care about things not happening to each other that an individual isn't okay with, and that we don't care at all about going after people we don't like sad bird in snow: There's a lot of different tolerance for different types of consequences, but if we're all looking out for each other, that shouldn't cause problems sad bird in snow: The main discrepancy is that Cardinal cares a lot about making sure teams that, er, to use the popular term, "Eat shit" a lot, don't do that, whereas most everyone else except for myself and Amaranth rank that middling-to-low sad bird in snow: But I think, honestly, it wouldn't impact us that much to try and spread out who we're targeting, if we have to target another unit specifically?
Red Bull gives you wings: That's pretty good actually Red Bull gives you wings: I guess the big difference is Amaranth is too mom to wanna see kids hurt Red Bull gives you wings: I dunno if we're kids to Cardinal Red Bull gives you wings: Are we gonna end up having a meeting about it? We could try luring everyone in with christmas dinner
sad bird in snow: Even Cardinal rated "avoid things that unitmates don't want to have happen to them" at 2, so it's still high sad bird in snow: Or rather, "anonymous respondent number one" but I can tell writing styles apart pretty easily. sad bird in snow: And Christmas dinner is a good idea... sad bird in snow: I don't want to keep people over it for very long, but I think it'll be nice for people to know we actually have a lot in common as far as priorities sad bird in snow: I think it turns out Nem's pretty happy with how things have been going in games recently, also, which I worried about
Red Bull gives you wings: I hope nemesis is doing better Red Bull gives you wings: It's hard to tell when she deflects off herself so much Red Bull gives you wings: But I think having to be there for the dogs has helped
sad bird in snow: I never know when I'm pushing her too hard to say more, but it does seem like the dogs are good for her... sad bird in snow: Getting her a dog last winter does seem like it's done even more good than anyone could have expected. sad bird in snow: I know Hurricane's been trying to look in on her, at least; I asked her a little bit if there was anything that might be nice to do as a unit and she was sort of noncommittal, but it might be nice to have something low-key...
Red Bull gives you wings: You know I don't think she's named the puppy yet... Red Bull gives you wings: She's still waiting for me to name 'my' dog Red Bull gives you wings: ...
sad bird in snow: I suppose with Amaranth here we now have two whole members with a decent childhood sad bird in snow: Cardinal would probably say that they're a third but I don't actually believe that.
sad bird in snow: I've come down pretty firmly on the side of "actually it's bad to raise your children as a weapon for your ideals, even if they say they're fine with that"
Red Bull gives you wings: You'd think that wouldn't be such a controversial opinion but Red Bull gives you wings: Here we are Red Bull gives you wings: In hell
sad bird in snow: Here we are. sad bird in snow: I know they're used to looking at the bigger picture of what's good for the whole of society, but their homeland is very... different.
Red Bull gives you wings: I guess I dunno why ideals are really worth dying for personally Red Bull gives you wings: They're not people Red Bull gives you wings: And ideals can change Red Bull gives you wings: Honestly they should be open to change
sad bird in snow: I think technically they are trying to be sad bird in snow: It’s just that they’re not actually great at it. sad bird in snow: Anyway, I suppose I have plenty of ideals, it’s just—well, you have to take care of people in the short-term, too, not just the abstract ideal of people?
Red Bull gives you wings: Maybe I'm just cut out for boots to the ground work and not big thinking Red Bull gives you wings: Devil's in the details Red Bull gives you wings: I think that's how the saying goes
sad bird in snow: Devil's in the details sounds about right sad bird in snow: We're trying to solve some awfully difficult problems, if you think about it
Red Bull gives you wings: No kidding Red Bull gives you wings: Its not something anyone can do alone Red Bull gives you wings: I'll always be behind you no matter what Red Bull gives you wings: I'll even learn how to roast a turkey
sad bird in snow: I love you so much. sad bird in snow: Honestly, what would I do without you? sad bird in snow: Game be damned, I want to kiss you a lot—but somewhere it’s just for us.
