Well... it's not like we have money to pay for them. I just wrote about arranging a payment or doing an "I Owe You"...

[sacredchants]

Do we really owe them anything at this point? Or is it just a mutual beneficial existence?

[chanteuser]

This was the first week. I thought I was taking things from a normal shopkeeper.

[sacredchants]

[ ......... ]

I did not.

[chanteuser]

[ she just looks at her. izumo. ]

[sacredchants]

[ casually.


looks in the opposite direction. ]

[chanteuser]

[ siiiiigh. ]

I guess it didn't really matter in the end. But I do feel bad when we make more work for them.

[sacredchants]

[ look.

she can learn from her crimes. ]

Yeah, I definitely do now.

[chanteuser]

We do that more than I'd like to admit. Causing them trouble.

[sacredchants]

[ ah.

and that gets izumo looking downcasted. ]

Some of them more harm than others, too.

[chanteuser]

[ ... ? ]

... Some people don't trust them. I can't say I blame them, because the whole situation is bad. But it's not their fault either.

[sacredchants]

I...

Let's just say that I've seen what happens when we've taken advantage of what they're trying to do for us.

[chanteuser]

...

What happens?

[ there is a slightly no nonsense tone to her voice. she wants to know she has a (truck driving past obscures the word) to protecc ]

[sacredchants]

[ sorry but.

this is something she can't say too easily and tries to think of a good way to frame it. ]

They don't look well—I can't say more than that.

[chanteuser]

[ hm... ]

Izumo, would you be willing to share your team with me? I can do the same in return, so it's not one-sided.

[sacredchants]

[ .....

... ]

Okay, but if you don't mind going first.

[chanteuser]

Sure.

I'm Rabbit.

[sacredchants]

[ ah. hm. ]

Fox.

[chanteuser]

[ YES I FOUND A FOX. ]

Do you speak to Fox much? ... I'm... guessing this thing that happened happened to them. Are they okay?

[sacredchants]

[ LMAO..... ]

I speak to them at least once a week.

[ and she's going to be super hesitant about this for one reason or another. ]

...but they've told me that they'll be fine.

[chanteuser]

[ she sighs, sounding genuinely relieved ]

Good. I'm glad they're.. well. Doing better.

[sacredchants]

[ looks at week 4 with concern....

but she'll nod. ]

I hope it continues to trend that way.

[chanteuser]

[ remember when we thought games post crau would be more chill? ]

Me too. They don't deserve to suffer because of us.

[sacredchants]

[ we're chill but like. in another way??? ]

I won't let anything happen to them. I... I don't know if they're all good but I can't be part of the problem.

[chanteuser]

I don't want anything to happen to them either. Do you... know anything we can do?
