[Oh hey I just met you ~~and this is crazy~~]

Dumb or not, we're going to be in hot water if we don't give her an answer.

The answer is obvious anyway isn't it?

Depends on the person. What do you think?

Of course they're a strength. Why would liking or loving people ever be a weakness?

Seriously. Strength in numbers.

I guess there's that, too.

Chyeah. [ she gestures ] That's the whole point behind a team, isn't it?

I never really thought of it that way, but I'd be really lost without them. And they're good at all kinds of things I'm not, so you're right.

I'm Percy.

[ lifting her hand ] Viva. You're on ... uh...

[ green... team....... ]

...It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you! I have no idea what your team is.

[Just straight up admits it okay.]

[ oh! alrighty. ]

Amalthea. [ she looks relieved ] I don't know your team, either. Well—I recognise it, but I don't remember the name.

Amalthea...

[Sounds it out.]

I'm on Barghest. We're all named after stars for some reason. I only recognize Alectryon and Dawon yet, I don't know the rest of the colors. What's Amalthea like?

Mmm. Well, it's just a guess. But maybe some people think that emotions just get in the way? Making logical decisions and separating yourself from your gut reactions can be pretty important. It can be hard when people you love are involved.

...Eh?

[Making logical decisions and separating yourself from gut reactions sounds incredibly foreign.]

That doesn't sound like something I'd be good at.

Hahah - well, we all have our own strengths, right?

Still, friendship isn't always easy. We'll just have to see where everyone stands.

Yeah. I don't think thinking a lot is one of mine.

I'm not sure why anyone would think it's a weakness though, still. Because having friends is warm and they can be like a family. I'd be really lost if I were alone and even with people I don't know it seems way less stupid--like you and the girl and that other guy being here definitely means I feel better, so isn't that a strength?

I'm Percy, by the way.

[Chuckling and offering a hand.]

Technic. It's nice to meet you.

If you think it's a strength, then stick with your answer. Your reasons are your own, you know?

[Taking it and shaking vigorously!]

Nice to meet you! But what do you think?

[gonna be feeling that in my wrist later, that's for sure]

Me?

Mmm - not quite the same reasoning as you, but I'd still call it more of a strength.

It never is, so it's definitely a strength.

Exactly.

[I like how you think there dude. It's obviously?? A strength.]

Our friends, our family, our teams, they're not a weakness. They're our wings and the wind beneath them. Not that caring about people has its pains ... it does, sometimes. It does a lot. But nothing is without its own good and bad. But the basic fundamental of not being alone, of having support and love from others, to feel that way yourself, it's a strength no matter what else comes with it.

[Oh that was really poetic.]

Yeah, exactly! You said it way better than I could.

[ Everything about my life is a flying metaphor. Or gay. Or a gay flying metaphor. ]

Right! Even our ties in this game right now are important.

Not just even, especially!
