[PHOENIX]

[once you pass through the clocktower door, you find yourself in a closed room complete with a central table, notebooks and pens, and a white board for strategizing]

[a digital clock on the wall counts down to the end of the game. time to get to work, right?]

[ breathes in and out slowly ]

I- I'm sorry. I got a little carried away.

It's all right. I won't change my answer.

No need for apologies.

You chose to allow your friend's death. Well planned, but difficult.

Your courage gives you credit.

brings up his hands and slaps himself in the face on both cheeks. ]

That's already over with. This choice is done with, too. From here, we just have to wait and see how the results fall and go from there.
strikingchords: (how to be brave?)

...

Mm.

[buddy

frankly he's probably seen and possibly administered rougher "get yourself together" tactics on battlefields with a lower chance of seeing someone dead at the end, so he's just going to get Reim another cup of shitty tea and stay at his shoulder]

...

[after a while]

Cannot guess her actions as well as yourself and Wei Ying.

Would do well to agree in advance, for next time.

This setup functions on the assumption that none of us have coordinated for these circumstances in advance. If it reappears again, it'll undoubtedly be modified once more to account for and counteract our performance here. But, more generally speaking, I would be more than happy to open a discussion with Basilisk for the future, yes.
strikingchords: (cadence and cadenza.)

[makes another neutral little noise; it's a good idea, but he's not sure if more PLANS TO NOT IMMEDIATELY PUT INTO EFFECT will be helpful to Reim right now]

I'd like to talk with Tsuchigumo and Bugbear as well, and perhaps Echidna, just for a sense of where we stand. Honestly, I'd prefer not to be considered a priority for Echidna at times like this, only because I think we do well enough for ourselves compared to others, but that's just my personal feelings.
strikingchords: (illogical and lyrical.)

[personal profile] strikingchords 2022-05-05 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
...

Should Echidna wish to prioritize us, I cannot gainsay their feelings. For myself, I agree.

Yes, it's ultimately their decision, of course. Either way, as long as we know what their goals will be, then we can account for that.
strikingchords: (pensive.)

Mm.

[goes quiet again; there is only so much to talk about game wise! it sucks! they might die! he is very determinedly not thinking about Wei Wuxian dying!]

[ I'm now assuming this is in the time gap before dragon cuddles when wangxian are attempting to give each other space ]

... Erm... If it's all right to ask, have Mister Wei and you... had a fight before this?
strikingchords: (entertain the daydream.)

[glances aside, a little painful...]

Difficult to say.
